they buy the guns but hired German and French officers to go to tho Transvaal and teach young Boers how to handle the weapons About years ago the Transvaal purchased eight batteries or guns of latest and best quick type from the French firm of These guns not delivered until a short time ago but are supposed to have reached Pretoria just in time for use In the present war The gun fires a 13- pound shell In practice- against targets composed of six wooden frumes each with an area of square feet six of theco guns fired each six rounds throwing each shell at an average of seconds inter val and
