The Belgique Militaire in its last aoum- ber described experiments made with the defensive cupola, desigaed to protect guns of large calibre against artillery fire. The trials were carried on at Antwerp, at Forts Phillipe and Santa Marie. The cupola is like an enlarged dome or metal cylinder, resting upon « foundation of masonry and revolving like a ship’s turrett. The cupola stood every test, and, although struck by the largest projectiles, remained uninjured in its mechanism to the last. Its weight was 320 tons.
