Breaking an Infantry Square.

A discussion seems to be going on as
to whether an infantry square can be
broken by charge of men on foot or on
horseback. To the non military turn of
mind this would seem impossible, pro-
vided that the square is properly
formed. But I read the other day that
the French in Dahomey cast melinite
bombs into an intrenchment of the en-
envy, with the result that the assailants
themselves had to fall back in order
not to be destroyed by the sufocating
fumes.
Is this fact or an effort of the Jour
nalistic imagination? If the former,
what is to prevent melinite being fired
into any dense mass of men on the bat
tlefeld, whether in square or in any
other formation, and emitting such
fumes that the square would cease to
exist? Admitting the truth of the
statement, it seems to me likely to rem
der war so exceedingly dangerous a
pastime that few sane human beings
will be willing to engage in it.-LondOn

Olive Growing in California

Olive growing, olive picking and the
manufacture OF olive oil have become a
highly important industry in California.
This year the industry has remarkable
boom, and the dealers are entirely I'M
able to meet all the orders they have re-
ceived. This is especially the case in
the Pomona Valley. Every body en-
gagged in the olive trade-growing, max =
ing oil, or acting as brokers-is making
unusual profit, and there is a demand
for five times the amount of the crop.
One order that could not be filled came
to Pomona last week from a New York
grocery house for 10000 gallons of pick
led olives. Many orchardists have
made $3.50 an acre from olives this sea-
son, and some have made clean profit
of $3.50 an acre.-NeU York Sun.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 13.-One of

Of the Minneapolis Trust Company
against the North Star Construction
Company, of Minneapolis, to secure
the payment of $59l, 492. The attach
ment bonds are the only papers yet on
file. In setting forth the nature of
claim, it is said that the amount sued for
was loaned to the construction COM
pany by w. R. Merriam and that he as
signed his claim to the plaintiff. The
North Star Company is incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey, where
the Incorporation laws are less strict
than here, but has been doing business
in Minneapolis and through the North
west. The company was organized for
the construction of the Duluth q Win
