From Chambers Journal.
The idea of hurting explosive or fiery
missiles into the ranks of an enemy on the
battlefield is one of great antiquity So
far as reliable historic data exist, the first
occasion of their use in actual warfare
was about 327 B. c., when Alexander the
Great, while attempting to extend his con-
quests to India. was opposed by arrows
tipped with a fiery composition. No fur
Their progress in this direction, however,
seems to have been made until the eighth
century, when 1t Is recorded that rockets
containing a highly combustlble mixture
were frequently thrown in burning con-
dition among the enemy. Prescriptions for
preparing such rockets are given by Mar
Gus Gracious who lived about the end of
the eighth century, and whose manu-
scripts are still preserved In the National
Library at Paris. II is also recorded that
rockets of this description were used by
the Saracens against the Crusaders, caus-
ing great discontinue In the ranks of the
latter. Such appliances as these, crude as
they undoubtedly were, furnished the germ
from which the modern proiectile has
evolved. To trace the development of such
missiles up to the present day would be
a task of considerable difficulty; IL IL
only proposed here to give a brief account
Of the shells and projectiles at present
used by the armies and navles of the
higher civilized nations.
-Four chief varieties are now EMPLOYED
in active warfare, each being constructed
to attain a special object. They may be
classed as follows: ~ shrapnel or man
killing shells; 90 shells whose object is
to destroy earthworks and Notifications.

here stated that each variety is made 70

four companies. It was announced to- day that General Elliot, Minister for War, had instituted proceedings against M. Courant. the barrister, who, at the close of the proceedings in court yesterday. was arrested for shouting: Down with the commanding officers!"
 Colonel Picquart, who was recalled, said he believed that General Pellieux had not thought it incumbent upon him to order the bordereau letter to be sub mitted to expert examination for the purposes of the Esterhazy inquiry, and the witness added that Major Ravaery doubtless unwillingly took the same course and founded his judgment on incomplete and inadequate documents.
 Replying to the presiding Judge, Col onel Picquart said he had received M. Leblois fifteen times in his private of flee, but the witness denied communi- eating to him the secret document com mencing with the words, That scoun- drel, D."
 M. Henry, who was recalled, said that the document was on the table
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-13

After a heated altercation between the presidino Judge and M. L.aborie re- garding some dates, M. Henry startled the court by affirming that the docu- ment with the words that scoundrel D. had no connection with Dreyfus, but belonged to a different lot of pa pers, and was of no consequence The real Dreyfus papers, witness added, had never been seen.
 M Ranc, a prominent newspaper man, testified that M. Zola was struck by the partiality shown at the Ester hay court martial and he classed M. Zola's article as being the "act of a great-hearted, brave man."
 M. Girard, an author, gave similar testimony. M. Juares, the Socialist deputy, followed. He criticized the Government generally, and attributed the secrecy at the Esterhazy court martial to the necessity for concealing the contradictions in the opinions of the experts in 1894 and 1897 on the bor- dereau. Continuing. M. Juares charged the general staff with connivance with
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-13

Major Esterhazy, adding that the only object of the court martial seemed to be to justify him. M. Juares also re- preached the Ministers bitterly for not facing the jury.
 Throw light upon the affair." in ouired M Juares, oratorically. Why have the Deputies, majority of whom are convinced that M. Dreyfus' trial was irregular. not demanded light?"
 The Socialist Deputy then lauded M. Zola for "denouncing his maligners and prosecutors" dragging the staff from its miserable Responsibility. which is paving the way for future disasters.
 This remark caused a tumult in which cheers and groans were mingled. M. Laborie then asked for the produc- ton of the secret papers and the bor- dereau for the purpose of comparing the handwriting, but the presiding Judge and the Advocate General op- posed the proposition. A warm discus sion followed, and the application was refused after a recess had been taken for the consideration of M. Laborie's

 M. Laborie pointed out contradictions in M. Henry's evidence, and Major Ra- vaery's report, whereupon M. Henry advanced excitedly upon M. Laborie and shouted: T will not tolerate your casting suspicion upon my evil dence.'
 Colonel Picquart protested against M. Henry's language, whereupon the latter shouted: T aver that Colonel Picquart has lied in this matter" (Up- roar).
 Colonel Picquart then addressed the jury: You have heard M. Henry, Major Lauth and Major Paty du Clam bring abominable charges against me. All the steps took in this matter have not been forgotten. I believed it was expedient to introduce light and justice into the affair, for which I was over whelmed with insults. I am the victim of good faith, and have to pay for the propriety of my conduct and for my attachment in the cause I consider just"

written arguments.


 M Bertillon, the handwriting expert, testified that Dreyfus wrote the bor- derau. adding that if he had the in- eliminating documents seized at the residence of Dreyfus in 1894 he would prove it..
 M. Bertillon also said that he had copies of documents upon which his opinion was based.
 Replying to M Laborie, M. Bertillon said he could produce them only on the courts order.
 This caused the Judge to remark: "Only the Minister for War has au- thority to issue such an order"
 Then we are certain not to get It," replied M. Laborie.
 Court was then adjourned until Mon- day.
 The crowd acclaimed the officers and there were few scuff1es. but nothing serious occurred. It is said that Colo nel Picquart has sent his seconds to M Henry on account of the latter's asser- tion that the colonel lied.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day several members sought to revive the Dreyfus discussion, but the Minister for War, General Billet, and the premier, M Moline, urged that the interpella- tion be deferred until the trial of M. Zola is finished. M. Roche attempted to reply, but he was called to order. and the Government was sustained by 47S to 72 votes General Elliot de- nounced the reports that he was nego- tiating with the Dreyfus family con- corning reopening of the case. and he repeated that Dreyfus was guilty.
