THE EOYAL ARTILLERY INSTITUTION.

As all new powder has the date of stoving painted on the barrel heads, 
and as every barrel in a stoving is also numbered, it follows that the 
fullest information can at any moment be had respecting any barrel of 
powder issued from Waltham Abbey, about which any complaint or 
correspondence may arise. But, from the great care now taken to 
manufacture powder of uniform density, and owing to the severe and 
searching tests to which it is subjected, there is little chance of any 
complaint being made as to the quality of the powder which will in 
future be issued from the Boyal Gunpowder Factory.
