Many years ago a proposal was sub- , mitted by some inventor that a small gun, strapped across a horse's back and fired from that position, would be useful | especially in mountain campaigns. The experiment was mado in tho arsenal at Woolwich, the horse's head being tied to a post, with the muzzle of the gun pointed to an old earthen butt, the committee standing on the other side of tho horse to watch the result. The gun was loaded, and, in order to give time a slowburning fuse was used to fire it. The committee, however,in tyingthe animal's head, had omitted to take the precaution of also making fast its tail. The first result was that when the horso heard the fizzing of the fuse on its back, t it became uneasy, and walked around I the post, so that tho gun, instead of : pointing at the butt, was thus directed : straight at the heads of tho committee. ' Not a moment was to bo lost; down I went the chairman and members flat and ( low on their stomachs. The gun went | off; the shot passed over tho town of 1 Woolwich, and fell in the dockyard, the horse being found lying on its back several yards away, The committee were fortunately unliurt, and gradually recovered their equilibrium i hut they 1 reported unanimously against any t further trial." Tho foregoing is from an f 1 English source, ' 6
