Mr. Bousalngault baa given lo the Academy of Seieooe an intareating paper on thie valua ble manure, from whieb we learn that depoeit* of Guano oxteud from the seoond to the twen ty first ° of South latitude, along the coast of Peru. Those whioh lie beyond theee limits art much poorer Hi ammoniaoal compound than the former, and are therefore loot valua ble as manure. Guano is generally found de posited on small promontories or eliffs. It fills up orsvioes, and is to be found wherever birds seek shelter. The rocks of this fart of the coast consist of granite, goeias, syenite and porphyritio syenite. Tbs Guano deposits are generally oovered with an agglomeration of •and and saline substances, called callohe, whioh the laborers remove before beginning their attaeks on tho Guano. In some placet, as at Pabellon di Pioa and Punia Ceanda, the deposits lit under a mass of sand dgseended from the “neighboring mountains,” on which subject Do Rivero makes an extremely ourious observation, vii: That, at tho places above mentioned, the lowest Guano deposits arc oov ered with a stratum of old alluvial soil; then comes another lsyer of Guano, and then astra» turn of modern alluvial soil. To understand tbe importance of this fact, it must be borne in mind that tbe age of modem alluviona does not extend beyond historic time, wbereaa old alluvions date from tbs period immediately preceding that at whioh man first began to in habit tho earth ; so that tb# guautes or cormo rants, and allied birds which deposit Guano, must have existed thoueands of years before man, seeing that the lower layer of Gnano is sometimes fifteen or twenty yards in depth, while the old alluvial oruet above it hae a thickness of upwards of three yards To explain the immense accumulation of guano in tboet regions, M. Boussingault ob serves that there bss been a combination of circumstances lightly favorable lo its produc tion and preservation, among which are to be reokoned a dry climate, a ground presenting a vaat number of chinks, fissures end caverns, where tbe birds can rest, lay tbeit effS and batoh them, without being disturbed by the s* rong breezes from the south, an rt, lastly, abun dance of food suited to them. Nov here else sre fish so plenty as on the ooast, whete whole shoals are often cast upon the shore, even in fine weather. Antonio di Ulloti mates that anchovies especially are in such abundance hare as to d< fy description, and giveB a graph ic account of tbe mauner in which tbeir nutn bers are diminished by the myriads of guanos which are sometimes seen flying in countless flocks, intercepting tbe sun’a rsys like clouds, aud darting into tbe sea to catoh their prey. According to M Boussingault’s calculation, one hundred kilogrammes (tbe kilo ie equal to two and a half pounds) of guano contain tbe nitrogen of six hundred kilo grammee of sea- fish, and as the guano deposits, before they began to be worked, contained three hundred and seventy eight millions of metrieal quin tals (tbe quintal melrique ie 1 cwt.; 8 qrs., 25lbs., 8oz ,) of guano, tbe birds must have eonsutued 2268 millions of quintals of fish. War Terms* The Columbiad or Paixban—pronounced pay zan is a large gun, designed principally for firing shells—it being far more aocurate than the ordinary abort mortar. A mortar is a very short oannoo, with a large bore, aome of them tbirieen inches in diameter, for firing shells. Those in use in our army arc sot at an angle of 46 degrees, and tbe range of tbe abell ie varied by alter ing tbs charge of powder. The shell ie caused to explode at just about time that it strikes, by means of a fuss, the leogth of whioh is adjusted to the time of flight to bo oocuped by the ball, whioh, of course corresponds with the range. Tho ac curacy with wbioh the time of tho burning of a fuse oan be adjusted, by varying its length, ia surprising; good arlilleriais generally suc ceed in having their ehells explode almost at the exaot instant of striking. In loading a mortar, tho shell is earefully placed with tbs fuvo direotly forward, and when tho pisoo is discharged, the shell is so completely envoi’ oped with flame, that the fuse is naarly always fired. The fuse is mads by filling a wooden cylinder with fuse powder, the oyUnder being of sufficient length for the longest range, to be cut down shorter for shorter ranges ns re quired. A Dahlgren gun is nn ordinary oannon, ex cept that it ia made vef^ thick at the breech for some three or four feet, when it tapers down sharply to lees than usual eixe. This form was adopted in ooneequenee of the experiments of Capt. Dahlgren, of the United States Navy, having shown that when a gun bursts, it usu ally gives away at tbs breech. Tho Niagara is armed with these guns and at the Brooklyn Nnvj Ynrd there are aixty, weighing about 6,000 pounds each, and six of 12,000 weight each, tho former of whioh are ospable of oarrjing a nine inch, and tho latter a ion inch shell a diitance of two or three miles; and there is one gun of this pattern which weighs 14,910 pound, and ia warranted to send all inch shell four miles. imats is a stone roof lo a fort made sufficiently tbiek to resist the force of cannon belle, and a casemate gun ie one whioh is pla ced under a oasemate. A barbette gun ie one which is pieced on tbe top of the fortification. An embrasure is the hole or opening through which guns are fired from fortifioaiions Loop holes are openings in walls to fire musketry through.
