The Deadly Shrapnel.

Recent experiences III little wars in
the far East and in peaceful pra.ti"ing
have caused military experts t. class
the shrapnel shell as the gunncr's most
deadly weapon. There have been
many Improvements in the shell and
the manner OF using it in recent years.
1t consists of a hollow cylinde. of steel
filled with bullets, and having in its
head or its base a charge of powder
just sufficient to break the cylinder
when desired. The charge is fired by
a time fuse, Which lights itself from
the flash in the gun and fires the
charge after fixed number Of seconds.
or by percussion fuse, which explodes
the charge whenever the shell strikes
