adopting it, or some better plan, we shall be acting in the spirit which 
dictated Gravenitz* memorable words to a battery of Prussian Horse 
Artillery which made a notable failure at practice :—“ You cannot ride 
the enemy down, nor can you drive him down; but if you are to 
remain Artillery, you must be able to shoot him down,”

CAPTAIN HIME, It. A. 
HOW TO FIND THE DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT OF THE GUN WHEELS. 
The following rule is shorter, simpler, and more correct than any I 
have ever seen tried :— 
Find by the clinometer the inclination of the horizontal line on the 
£ a ce of the muzzle of the gun. The inclination of this line in degrees 
• s equal to the difference in height of the wheels in inches.
