Tho current of Tho bios horns goes at the rate of a Gonna Milo an hour. Tho Steep bunks of Tho Nard Noj parts of the Channel Aro Dof Udod by Strong natural positions Winch have Boon skilfully fortified. Proceeding toward constantinople from Tho Black sea Tho bore Phoua entrant of is first protected by the batteries of Potraz Burn on the Papaz Burnu on the North and by Tho towers und Walls of Tho planar on Tho Asiatic coast. Next Aro soon to Tho West Tho Batty Elmo god Walls of Kari Bye and to Tho Oast Tho bastions of Kil Burnu. A Little further to Tho South is the de Iilo formed by the fortifications of Llu Meli kayak on Tho european and those of Anacolli Kavak on Tho Asiatic Side and this in Fol Lowed by Tho works of Madjar Burnu resembling a Citadel Whoso guns command the whole Width of Tho bosporus. The works Are the strongest on the Lino from Tho Black Soa to constantinople. Tho Channel nearest Tho capital is defended Only by two Ilis Saron Tho european and Nadoli a Lissar on the Asiatic Tho difficulty of passing a hostile Fleet through Tho bosporus is still further increased by Tho fact that Tho Only navigable part of Tho Channel is from 200 to 1-Ioo paces Wido and is close to Tho european coast so that Tho ships Aro almost touched by Tho muzzles of the turkish guns. A Fleet attempt ing to Force its Way into Tho bosporus from Tho Black sea would have to run Tho gaunt let of eight batteries with guns and if one of its larger ships were sunk the Chan Nel would be blocked to the others. To lion tile Fleet has Over attempted to Force its Way into Tho to Shoros. Tho approach from Tho j Egean sea by Tho Dardanelles is More practicable. Tho current is loss rapid and Tho Banks Aro Nob Rocky and Tho Channel is wider. At Tho South Western outlet of the Dardanelles Trio rare two old fortifications sed i bar on the european Side and Kuusi Kalch on Tho Asiatic Side. Tho strongest defensive Point is a Little More to Tho North Between fort Chanak Kalesi on Tho Asiatic Side and fort Nogara on the european.

The Only instance recorded in history of a Tiok Tilo Fleet penetrating to constantinople through Tho Dardanelles was Tho achieve ment of admirable Duckworth with an English Fleet of eight ships of Tho Lino four frigates and several fir ships who entered Tho Dardanelles on Tho Hith of february 1807, and arrived at Cost Antonoplo on Tho following Day. Not i Krupp new the celebrated prussian Artill Erist i Terr Krupp is just completing a Monitor Piloo of ordnance evidently designed to show that guns of cast steel can to produced on a to vie with Tho wrought Iron ordnance of Woolwich and Elswick. Tho weight of Tho new Krupp gun is almost exactly that of Tho great Eraser gun which Lias lately distinguished itself at Shoeburyness. It thus fulls Short of Tho huge proportions of the Ono Hundred ton Armstrong guns which Are being manufactured for die italian Navy. But a steel Breech loading gun of eighty two thousand Kilogrammes or eighty English tons is nevertheless a production of a very marvellous and interesting character. Tho length of the gun including Tho brooch piece Twenty nine foot six inches Tho Breech piece itself being six feet four inches in length. Tho calibre of Tho gun is fifteen and three Quarter inches. Tho weight of the projectile will to 7 Kilogrammes or pounds and Tho powder charge will to 3% pounds. Tho Price of the gun exclusive of the Carriage is of course this includes a profit to Tho manufacturer but the sum is More than double that Winch goes to defray the expense of producing an gun at Woolwich Arsenal.
