A Monster Gun

The Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Jun 6, 1865

A 20-inch gun has been made at Pittsburg to throw a 1,080 pound shot, the charge of powder being 100 pounds. This monster piece of ordnance, known as "Beelzebub," was tested in presence of a number of officers, and the trial gave great satisfaction to all interested.
