ORIGIN OF THE PERIsC0PE.
The Rejecting SpygIass Used at the
Siege Of SebastopoI.

The Rejecting spygIass Used at the
Siege OF Sebastopol.
Speaking of the origin Of the peri
scope, the following extract from the
writings Of the well known inventor OF
Peppers Ghost" gives the credit to
the clerical profession. Pepper wrote
soon after the Crimean war:
During the siege of Sebastopol num-
bers Of our best artillerymen were con-
tiaually picked of by the enemy's rifles
as well as by cannon shot. and in order
to put q stop to the foolhardiness and
incautiousness of the men, very in
gertous contrivance was invented by
the Rev. William Taylor, the coadju-
tor Of Mr.. Denison in constructing the
first Big Ben bell. 1t was called the
rejecting spyglass, and by its simple
construction rendered the exposure OF
the sailors and soldiers who would look
over the parapet or other parts Of the
works to observe the effect Of their
shots perfectly unnecessary, while an
other form was constructed for the
purpose Of allowing the gunner to lay
or aim his gun in safety.
1.-The instruments were shown to
Lord Panmure, who was so convinced
Of the Importance Of the invention that
he Immediately commissioned the Rev.
William Taylor to have number OF
these telescopes constructed, and If
the siege had not terminated just at
the time the invention was to have
been used NO doubt q great saving Of
the valuable lives Of the skilled ardl-
lerymen would have been effected. -

THE WHIP IN RIFLE BARRELS.
Il Is Caused BY the Pressure of Mod
srn High Power Powder.

Il lie Caused BY the Pressure of Mod
srn High Power Powder.
The use of high power powder in RI
fies has given rise to phenomenon
which did not exist Ia black powder
days. This is known as whip and is
due to the pressure and vibration set
up by the powder. 1t is constant with
given loads and is always in the same
direction. A
Sights are aligned by the manufac-
turer to compensate for this whip in
proportion to the powder charge used.
In firing auxiliary cartridges 1t will Of
ten be found that the rifle shoots off
center. AS a matter Of fact the bullet
from the auxiliary is travelling In a
true line with the bore. and it is the
sights that are wrong. The lighter
charge Of the auxiliary does not pro
luce the usual whip. with the result
that the line in prolongation of the
bore Of the rifle along which the bullet
travels is not the line given by the
alignment Of the sights.
Two other rife terms that must not
be confused are upsettage and keyhol-
ing. Keyholing Is the tendency of the
bullet to turn over In fight. while up
settage is the slight shortening Of the
major axis Of the bullet due to the
force If the charge. 1t was peculiar to
black powder fired behind lead bullets
and does not exist to any appreciate
extent in metal jacketed bullets with
smokeless powder. In the latter case
the charge burns more slowly and the
jacket stiffens the bullet against the
sudden blow from behind.-Outing.
