Tire Bloncrieff Self-Elevating Cani _
. Captain Moncrieff’s invention, which
just come to lights is in many respects the
most wonderful that has been announced for
Daany years. It is wonderful for the imme
diate and complete success which has attend
ed the firist experimental trial-a trial made
as severe as the ingenuity of experienced offi
cers could make it; It is wonderfully impor
tant, too, for the enormous saving which it
will effect—a saving measured by-many mil
lions—in the nrotection of our n.nnatn Tf ia
lions—in the protection of our coasts. It is
not less wonderful for having at one stroke
reversed the conditions of war, and given the
advantage unequivocally to the defence—a
benefit of immeasurable value to a country
like this, which arms only for the'-sake-of
peace and security. It is very wonderful,
again, for its extreme simplicity—a simplicity
so beautiful that every one who hears of it,
and who has a grain of comprehension for
the subject, can only exclaim, as o^ne is
tempted to do with every really great and
genuine invention, “Why was this not
thought of long ago?” But the crowning
wonder of the whole is that the invention
was actually made during the Crimean war,
some ten years ago, and that nearly the whole
intervening time has been spent iii efforts,
till lately unavailing, to get the professional
and official mind to see that there was any
invention at alL

’ I)ro ‘ ln -'“ a conciliatory impression.
It never seems to have occurred to any one
bef ore Captain Moncrieff (or if it did the idea
never fructified) that the recoil might be made
a servant and not a master, and that instead
of letting it expend its strength on the de
struction of carriages and platforms it might
he used to do the one thing that was wanted
to lift the guu above the parapet at the
moment of firing and deposit it gently be
low in a place of safety the instant after the
shot was delivered. This was the simple
idea of Captain MoncrieflTs invention, and
the mode of applying it is as simple as the
idea itself. Imagine a fowling-piece fixed to
the top of the back of a rocking-chair and
fired. The chair rolls back. with the recoil,
smoothly aud evenly, without the slightest
jar, and if caught and stopped at the lowest
position the gun may be loaded and the chair
let go, when it must Distantly roll back to re
cover its balance and bring the gun once
more to the top. Fire the gun again and £he
process repeats itself, and so we have our ffiiii
always fired from a high position and in
stantly brought to a lower level to be again
prepared for action. This is the whole es
sence of Captain Moncrieff’s device. The
rocking-chair—the elevator, as it is called—
weighs some six tons, and the w:eight is so
distributed that in the position of equilibrium,
the gun is at the highest point The bottom
of the elevator is rounded like the rollers of
the rocking-chair, and the instant the gun is
fired the recoil sets the machine rolling and
brings down the gun some few' feet below the
parapet. There it is stopped by a common
catch or pawle, Working on a toothed wheel,
like that which every one has seen on a
windlass or a crane. When the gun is
loaded the pawle is removed by a han
dle, the gun springs up, the shot'is fired,
and do\yu comes the piece again to the load
ing position. A simple contrivance, called
the carriage—which is a bar pivoted to. the
gun at one end, and riding along an inclined
plane at the other—keeps the piece horizon
tal throughout the movement, and by means
of a looking gkuis. the gun is aimed, while in
the loading position, without requiring even
the man who lays it to expose himself for a
moment. As we have said, when this great
invention—great because of its simplicity—
was presented to the authorities years ago,
they could not see that there wob anything
ip it; and what was worse, they would not
allow Captain Moncrieff to show them. At
last, after ten years, the permission is given,
and instantly the machine works (as' it could
not but work) with absolute success. The
gun with which the new apparatus was tested
was a seven-inch gun, weighing about seven
tons—a sufficiently formidable mass to deal
with on a first experiment. The first few
shots were intended simply to try whether
the machine would work, but before. tv?o short
days of practice were over, the artillerymen
employed jn this' i^uaccusfomed duty found
that they could equal in accuracy and surpass
iu speed anything' which they had ' ever been
able to do when firing through an open em-
brasifre. As tlje trials went on, the severity
of the tests was increased, and On the second
day nearly all the practice was at a target
moving in an oblique line, so as at eaoh mo
ment to alter both its distance and its angu
lar position. Excellent practice was made
at this, and at other times the men behind
the parapet got their orders, while loading,
to fire first at one, then at another of the tar
gets, which were fixed in different positiqus
and at different ranges, Ra.ch time the shot
flew as truly as if the protected,'aftiUmymen
had been standing ill the open, with a
full view of the object aimed at; • and before
'the eloae of the seo.qqd d43', ten seven-
inch projectiles had been sent, according
to orders, to the various targets, in less
than nineteen minutes—a speed which it
is expected will yet be surpassed when the
men have become more used to their work.
But a much more remarkable feat followed.
The usual guu detachment of ten men will
hardly be thought too strong a force to handle
a weapon weighing, without its adjuncts, as
much as seven tons, and with them between
twenty and thirty; but so perfect is the bal
ance with the Moncreiff-mountiug that three
men loaded, worked, Udd anil fired the gun
with comparative l esvse.” After two or three
rounds the three artillerymen managed to re
duce the interval between successive shots to
less than two and a half minutes; and as the
gunners would be almost -is safe from casual
ties with an enemy before them as at Shoe-
bnryness it would be possible, at a pinch,
with scarcely any loss of efficiency, to keep
up the fire of a battery with less than one-
third of its proper coinplemeht. ff these ex-
pariments proved how* sni’aotlily and ojisily
the niaohind ooul'd be handled, another satis
factorily showed how hard it would be to put
it out of order. During an interval in firing
VESUVIUS.
Another Eruption Described.
[Naples (Oct. 12) Correspondence of the London Times.]
Another eruption of Vesuvius is a fail ac
compli, and, to quote the words of one of our
journals, the mountain, like royalty, is hon
ored with a daily bulletin! I call it another
eruption; but, m truth, Vesuvius has not been
quiet since last November, when it astonished
visitors and alarmed the inhabitants of the
immediate neighborhood by its brilliant dis
plays. The same cone which was then in ac
tion has been more or less active ever since,
hut it is only since the beginning of this
month that evident signs were observed of
increasing action. The. scientific apparatus
on the mountain about October 1, gave the
first unmistakable sighs of what was coming
Then the puffs of light steam or smoke grew
into columns of dark black' smoke—longues
of lambent fire followed, just licking 0 the
.edges of the- crater, accompanied bj° dis
charges of artillery and heavy showers of red
.hot lava and aShcs. Day "after day this tick
tivity increased, until, on the flight' of tlie 8th
instant, after a'flight shodt* the Old‘ooue was
rent in two, and a deluge of lava e'ame rushing
forth and ran down to the foot of the great
cone, crossing at one point the' neW'path
which had been traced out for *tho conve
nience of visitors. Sinco that the course of
the lava has increased • iu abundance and
•rapidity, and os the agitation of the scientific
instruments is increasing also, there is every
probability that the exhibition will be as ma"-

ing over the bay just in front of Naples,
while the lava is pouring down toward the
Atrio del Cavallo, m the direction of the Her
mitage, presenting from a distance a mag
nificent spectacle. Especially does it so now,
when clouds sweep wildly over the sky, for
stratum after stratum is litup, until the whole
atmosphere appears to be on fire. To add to
the grandeur and solemnity of the scene; the
detonations, or rather “ thunderings," have
been frequent and tend, shaking the ground
in the neighborhood more or less severely.
From the commencement of the new symp
toms Prof. Pahuieri has been in residence at
tho Observatory, in order to complete and
confirm the observations which he made at
the beginning of the year. You will remem
ber that, one of these observations led him tp
jidopt the theory that volcanic action is sub
ject in a certain degree to'lunar influence.
Of course, all to whom an eruption 1 : is'a nov
elty have been rushing over to ascend the
mountain; the weather has, however, been
most inauspicious, arid on several evenings
travelers have been driven back by the vio
lence of the storms. As great crowds of
visitors may be expected, I repeat the expres
sion of a hope that at Rosina, and elsewhere
on the line of route, better accommodations
and greater lacilities may be provided for
those who make the ascent. Homes are often
wanting, order and regularity almost always.
No one should be permitted to go up the
mountain while iu conflagration without a
guide, and the tariff - of the guide should uot
only be regulated but enforced.

and now that great giyns can l?e heAdled, or
rather mafle to hqndle themselves as quickly
as a soldier can present a musket, the same
method is equally applicable to them. Eor
have we even yet qome to the end of the ca-
pahilities of Captain Moncrieff’s happy dis
covery. i The recoil supplies power enough
not only to move the gun as required, but to
do any .other Idud'bf work that may bo asked,
from it: and when, as is the case with the
larger ordinanoe, the shot used is unmanage
ably heavy, it is intended to employ the stored
up. force of the recoil to raise it to the can
non’s mouth. Other new developments will
be wanted, and doubtless will be found, fo
meet the various ; special cftnditious under
whiohguns ' may he used by land or sea, and
already we hear suggestions that the Mon-
orieff elevator may surpass the turret on board
ship as completely as the turret eclipses the
broadside annament . More experiments will
be needed before any such results can be at
tained, but the invention.- contains so vast an
element of power, that it would be difficult
at present to say where it will stop. It has
already done two great things. It has abol
ished forts, and has, after
skdance, which would have done credit even
to the Board of Admiralty; *

RESEARCHES AT JERUSALEM-
A correspondent of the New York Timex
writes from Jerusalem: -
The discoveries made hitherto may be
summed up briefly. The south wall of the
sdbred area, Haram el Shereef, withiu which
stood the. temple, lias been explored to, the .
very foundations. It is found that in one
place the wall was no less than, one hundred
and 'eighty feel high, At the, lowest point of
the wall, which is now determined to be also
the lowest point of the Tyropcoon valley, he
discovered a small passage, whioh be explored
for some one hundred and fifty feet, of very
ancient construction, and evidently intended
to carry off superfluous water." Previous to
this discovery it l^yl been supposed that the
loivest point Wh. a the southwest angle of the
wall where was the great iuch, known as
Eobinson’s Arch. Visitors to Jerusalem will
remember the spring of the old arch at this
point. They, will be gratified to learn that
all the conjectures with reference to what for
merly stood there have been abundantly veri
fied. Not only was there a splendid arch
crossing the Tyropceon valley at this point—
the span of which was forty feet across—and
the voussoirs - and ruins of which now lie
buried in the debris; but beneath the oldarch
covered over with a pavement, bnilt pre
sumably to cover these ruins, lie the stones
of an arch older stjjj, perhaps the arch built
by Solomon himself The complete investi
gation of this arch has been a long and costly
undertaking, hut its iinportancejis very grfeat.
Oh the east'side of the Haram wall lies the
valley of the Hodron. Lieutenant Warren,
by a series of shafts and borings, has ascer
tained that the present bed of the stream is
no less than forty feet higher than the old
bed—the bed having been raised by the enor
mous masses of debris and ruins that have
keen hurled over, into the valley. By the
last letter from Jerusalem we received a plan
of the system of chambers discovered at
‘Wilson’s Arch,” higher up on the western
wall, near the “Wailing Place” of the Jews.
'Lieutenant Warren has discovered, gt a
depth of some fifty feet halqw the. euriace of
the ground, a' vast. Bysteig 'of chambers and
passages. These chambers, whose use has
not' yet been docidefl are mostly about twelve
feet square, vaulted,'and filled up with rub
bish or with water.- About eighteen have
been opened, of which it is conjectured
that two or three are of Saracenic origin, and
the rest of Jewish. They branch off right
and left along a great passage. This has been
followed up for a distance of two hundred
and fifty feet, its- destination being yet un
certain, and.ifo v,s$ problematical. Perhaps,
however, it waa a secret passage for troopB.
The discovery is intensely interesting, and
may lead to singular and most important re-.
suits.

The talk is still that the Hudson River Bail-

for the exclusive use of freight trains. This
will give three entire traoks extending all the'
way from New York to Albany. All tho tracks
are to be "laid" with steel. The rails for the
third track will be extra heavy, in order to
properly resist the terrible wear and tear con
