It is generally supposed that noth- ing save a metal bullet could com- mend itself for the purpose of man- killing in war. That such a missel is more powerful for long-range shooting may be true enough, says the "'Regi- ment;"' but for destructive purposes at a short distange a bullet of paper or tallow has g r eflect. During some recent expe nts in this direc- tion it was proved beyond doubt that, whereas a metal bullet penetra- ted a deal plank-an inch in thickness and left a neat hole, a pasteboard bullet had a far greater destructive effect upon the target. A paper bul- let passing through six pieces of tin placed at a distance of a foot apart buckled them up so as to be of no further use, whereas a metal bullet merely left a small round rele and in no other way disfigured the tin.
