Authorities tell us that the Turks owe
their reverses in recent years to their
weakness In artillery. In l453 it was by
virtue of their artillery that they cap
tured Constantinople. In 1852 a Hun
garian named Orban came to Constan-
tinople and offered his services to the
Greek emperor as the "ablest founder

unsatisfactory conditions. and he es-
capped to Mohammed H., who com
manded him to cast n gigantic cannon
as proof Of bis talent. Orban took three
months over the task, and the cannon
was called probably as an omcm Bal
silican. The sultan issued warning
proclamation concerning the day ON
