These mewing forts tare eommonly credited to French inventive genius,. but in reality they were invented as long ago as 1817 by Kr. J'amee Ander son, a Edinburgh, whet, in tied year; and again in 1849, prepared abd 'Pat- ented a series of plans, and further aubmitted a working model of his de- fensive rolling stoek for the inspec- tion of English engineers end artil- lery officere. . The British Government, howevee, could not see its way clear to adopt the invention, so Mr. Anderson went abroad with his idea, with a eesuit that teese "ironclad trains ' were used on the field oi battle for the .first time in the Franco-Geeman War. . In their. sorties from Paris the French troops were frequently backed up by the fire of light field pieces, ear ried om trucks that were protected with heavy iron piates, and when the Commlinists were holding the capital against the Versaillese an armoured train operated upon the railway in the direction of the Chateau Brecon, and is said to hive achieved its object in silencing the batteries which the re. gular troops were endeavoring to es- . tablish. It Ls this exPerielace perhaps that has given rise to the belief that the French were the original inventors cif the idea for a fighting train. That i,„ not so, however, for, although tbe French can certainly lay claim to bier ing been the first to use them!, in ac- tual waefare, tlhe invention is Brit- ish, 'USUALLY "MAKESHIFTS." , . FoT the most part arinoured trains ' are llastiff constructed affairs, con, slating of a locomotive and a few cars, the engine being generally located about tbe middle of the traln, tut Eng land possesses a dozen specially built trains of this class,""having a bullet- proof sheeting of iron surrounding them. The first time armoured trains came into use in the British army was ai Alexandria, when Captain Fisher and his bluejeckets, hastily put together half a dozen trucke and protected them with iron ranee iron plates and sand bags. The engine was placed in the middle of the train, while c Noe- denfelt niachine gun was mountedInn the leading protected truck, sled a for- ty -pounder on the next. Captain Fisher bad but few oppor- tunities of bringing his train lute ac- tion, but during a sharp skirmish ore the Mahmondiyeh Canal it threw, genie well direeted shells into the very set- ter of the enemy, inflicting consider. able less. Since that day British and foreign engineers have vied with one another 0 to turn' Out an armoured, trate that should b3 shell -proof as well as bullet- proof end have well-nigh succeeded.
