It has thirty-seven. baryels, which are worked bya crank, and throw off bullets at a rate heretofore anknows in warfare. When placed in range, the soldier, or operator, has nothing to do but to take sight and turn the crank, and everything in front in the shape of bone and muscle must come down. ‘These weapons are now to be used for the first time in -actual warfare,and we are prepared to believe that they.are the .most destructive that the inhumanity of man lias ever devised.

Two “mitrailleuse’ were brought to play on them, the men at the cranks commeneed their work, atid ia three minrites by two discharges nt one of the animals retiained standing.
