At tbat time they were formed of an iron tube, , be ing strengthened by large. rings of? the same material, which, being driven dn. while red , hot, formed, by contractien, again of great strength. In the reign of Henry V, bolts , and ' quarrels' Were shot,froin cannon, , These were emcees. ded by ;Apnea, and stones in turn , gave Way to iron bullets. In the Mean time hand guns had been invented... They Were introduced into England by Hen ry IV. The invention of hand guns is ascribed to the Germans; and , probably dates half a century prior to their use in this country. ! A Birmingham gun maker informs us that at first the hand gun was a simple barrel, ' , with an , un covered touchhole atthe top, mounted on a straight stock, and, was fired, from a, rest by means' of a match.' A.!few years afterward the! stook Was• bent, and the match lock *as intro:limed.— The Wheel lock, an Italian invention, Which lessened the danger of 'firing, was introduced in the reign of Henry VIII, and continued to be generally used for a century and a half. Fire. arms, however, were not at that period greatly relied upon for the purposes of war.. The awkwardness of the guns, together with the great dilliculty and expense of procuring gunpowder; led to a prevailing preference for old appli ances, and as late as Elizabeth's time archers' were the,strength of the Eng.- lieh army. Sir James Turner states that the pistol was invented at Pistoja, in Tuscany, by Camillo Viteili, in the sixteenth century. Bayonets were first Wade at Bayonne, about the middle of the 17th century. • , 4' . oinatas were the earliest weapons of this class, and were made with wooden handles fitting to the bore of the gun. A socket, by which it•was - fixed to the muzle, was added subsequently, _and 'fp tis improved form bayonets were used by the French in the reign of Wm. 111, to the intense astonishment of our 25th regiment of foot. The flint lock is of Dutch origin, and was invented in the reign of Charles 11. It bas under gone little essential alteration Until within the last thirty years; during the latter period its modifications have been numerous and important. Oddly en ough, the idea of igniting gunpowder ' -3' the Germans, as earlY: as the fifteenth century, and spiralgrooves, giving the ball a rotary motion, were made at Nu remburg in the year 1.626. ; The Poles were probably the first to use rifles in military service, but it was not until the American war in 1778 that they were placed in the bands of English soldiers.—Eng. Magazine. The Old Fort—A Natural Wonder. , ''The Natural Fort, - e.s it is called, is situated about fifteen miles south of Cheyenne, on the old stage road leading to Denver. This fort is very peculiar in its formation, and difficult to describe so as to give a correct idea of its appear ance. ,I should say it was originally a hill of sandstone, and that the elements had moulded it into its pi:esent shape. It is almost eircular4d form, with a level open area in tt)-e t center of about 45 or 60 yards in (Ameter. This is eft tirelrclosed by sandstone wall, ex cept cm one fide, where there is an opening sevefal yards wide, which gives free ace to the interior, and repre sents th 4 sally port.
