SNOW FoRTIFIcATloNs.
A New Kind OF Breastw orks Built by the
rTHs Government Of Norway.

"A New hlnd OF bfeAhtAO Orhs buht w the
rfNs Government OF Norway.
Snow does not look or feel as " IL would
form q breastwork that would with
stand cannon balls. Experiments have
Just been made in Norway under Govern
ment orders, and they have proved that
snow can Withstand the force Of cannon
balls. How some Of our boys would have
enjoyed making these breastworks First
snowballs were rolled up and piledt together,
the spaces between being closely packed
with snow, forming perfectly SOLID wall,
twenty meters long, ,one-quarter high, and
three meters thick at the ground; this sloped
TO about two meters. The shots were fired
from Gal1nann guns, at O distance Of fifty
meters. Tho breastworks, 1t was found,
would not stand where less than three me
ters thick Where the snow was free from
ice fragments, the proiectiles were found
fiattened on one side. Water was poured
over the breastworks, and the next day was
frozen solidly. Shots were fred at one
hundred meters and penetrated through the
wall; some balls were never found, but
those picked up were found unaltered in
shape Freezing made the snow porous.
The final conclusion was that II the breast
works were not sloping, but uniform wall
Of two and one-half meters thickness, snow
breastworlxs will defy any proiectile thrown
at any distance. Christian Union.
