CRAIG J Wilmington, N. C^( j HEAVY CANNON NOT NEW. Armies Used Big Caliber Guna In the Fourteenth Century. Although one is astounded to lear of the immense size of the leavy artillery used in modern warare, it should be borne in mind thai >rojectiles of even larger diameter rere used long ago. i The first piece of artillery recordid was made by Schwartz, a Ger ? it. : i: < nau, suun ancr uie nivcunuu ui gunpowder in 1330, while the first ise of artillery in warfare was probibly made by the Moors of Alge:ira8, Spain, in 1343. The town is dtnated on the same bay and oppolite to Gibraltar. Edward III., at Crecy, in 1346, lad four pieces of cannon, and he ilso used artillery at the siege of Calais in the following year. In Edinburgh, to which it was ransferred from London at the repeat of Sir Walter Scott, may be teen Mons Meg, a large cannon thirteen feet long and of twenty inches :aliber, which is said to have been lsed by James II. at the siege of rhrieve Castle in 1455. This gun ised stone 6hot. Five years later he king met his death at Roxburgh >y the bursting of a similar cannon, he Lion. The largest bore recorded is a gun >f twenty-eight inches caliber, made it Beejapoor, India, during the seventeenth century and known as Maick o' Meidan, signifying "Lord )f the Plains." By some authorities it is said to have been made of ast iron and by others of bronze. Cast iron cannon were not made mtil the latter half of the fifteenth *ntury. Previously they were always made of bronze. As the Beeapoor gun was not completed till learly 200 years after the introduction of cast iron for guns, the question may be genuinely open to ioubt. Be that as it may, the projectile ired by the gun weighed 1,600 x>unds, and at the time it must lave been a formidable weapon. The 111 ton guns of the Benbow, a British battleship built in 1885, ised a projectile of 1,800 pounds. !taly purchased in 1884 from the ?rupp firm a 119 ton gun, and the ame firm six years later made a [35 ton gun, which is at Cronstadt, it the head of the gulf of Finland, n Russia.?London Chronicle.
