HOW A BULLET TRAVELS.
Leiioni lac Soldier la Taaiibt In

The soldier is taught that the bnllet
travebj thr u- :h th uir in n cr.rv,-d lino
culled the trajectory, ;ind that three
forces ac t n;.- n it - -frst. th exploded
charge, tendim; to drive it forward in
a Btrniulit line aliu; tho line ,,f fire,
second, the force of gravity, and, third,
the tur resi.stiiiice. At 200 yant.s. owing
to these force, the Ic.illet, trm ehutf i:t
the rate of J. (Mill feet a Btivud, will
have fallen about two feet, in the ex
citemeiit of tiring at close quartern tlit
aim will invariably be too h,ic.h.
It has been calculated that when the
enemy approaches within 350 yards the
soldiers will instinctively fire a much
as two feet or three feet above their
heads. Now, it lias been fonnd hy ex
periment that the fact of fixing liay
onets will cause the bnllet to drop a
distance of uUmt 2'a feet in 800 yards,
and therefore when about thin distance
from the euetny soldiers are instructed
to fix bayonets, in order to counteract
the excessive elevation of their aim.
Tlie recruit learns that the mean ex
treme range of the bnllet is H, 500 yards,
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 8,700 yards. Ho is taught the pene
trating lower of his w cut ion, a subject
full of interest. To take one or two ex
amples, rammed earth gives less pro
tection than loose; bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls, while
a concentrated fire of aliout l.'iO rounds
at '300 yaids will breach a nine inch
brick wall.
Only experience can teach a Boldier
how much ho must aim to tho right or
left of his mark to counteract the force
of the wind. A side wind has more
effect on the f 1 i m h t of the bullet than a
wind blowing directly toward tho firer
