Two experiments which uppla to squrting rifles only were interesting, as showing tab utility of Axits cartridges. The first was to with three rounds encts of 325-103 cartridges, bich wore made with the Kynoch cappad bullet, invented by Mr. Leslis B. Taylor, and which renders the

The result was that the plate was perforated by all the 375 bullets, whereas the bullets from the C18 showed that had the plate been a trifle thicker in no instance would the bullet have penetrail from the express rifle.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS. Among the great developinouts that have taken place in the materials of warfare in the past decade or so, and wilch some are pagine enough to bellove may hasten the reign of universal peace which all dostre, the impre mout of explosives has not been overlocked. Late in the last century the adventsgos of cor- dito as the propellant for nasal and military purposes had become fully recognised, and the British Government in 1884 adopted it. Kynoch (Limited) were one of the two firms who can tracted for its manufacture and supply, and since then they have besi continuously manufacturing cerdito for the British Govern mout.
