llploslven, in Military Engineer-lug.
The use of powder for artillery long pro’
ended its adoption for exploding mines in
slegss. The first instance of the latter use
is in 1487, when the results of the explo-
sion were so trifling that there is no other
instance of the practice till 1503, when
the Spaniards employed gunpowder to
blow up u fort held by the French in Na-
ples. Thus Shokespoum perpetuates a tri-
fling nnnuhmnlsm when he brings in Flu-
ellen at the siege of Hut-flour, complain-
ing: "For, look you, the mines are not ac-
cording to the discipline of the war. I
think n’ will blow up all if there is not
better directions." while his friend the
Scotch captain is equally in advance of
the times when he cries. “i would have
blowed up the town, so Christ save me la,
in an hour." _
Shnkespoaro’s evidence is conclusive on
the point that when he wrote the use of
explosives In military engineering was
sumclently well understood. The same
period, too, had witnessed the successful
use of gunpowder in n blow up of a pri-
vate drummer—All the Your Round.
