ors killed in war are losses that hit at the

ans say that shells are the least 10 be
feared Of all missiles OF war. The records
OF naval fights are not so comforting In

ing no harm. AT Yalu, of all the shells
fired At the japanese ships. only LOO hit the
mark. but the killed and wounded by the
shell fire was 2ss- The percentage was
as follows: Seamen. 51.3s per cent: petty
officers, 1s.44 Fer cent. officers. ie.0s per
cent. civilians. 2.s5 per cent. Other nen-
combatants account for 5.3s per cent. in
each class
AT Yasu ten Japanese were killed by the
vibration of air caused by the firing of
their own guns In some cases shells
did severe damage on Japanese ships. One
vessel had 80 persons killed and 10 injured
by the explosion of one she'll Another
had ii killed and % injured in like man

done by shells that burst. The bursting
of even small shells did great injury. In
one instance persons were killed and
injured by the explosion or very small
shell. In the 2as killed and injured. the
head wounds were most frequent. the ratio
being 2E15 per cent. of the total number.
Next in order came wounds 'of the greater
part of the body.'' of the upper limbs.
Of the lower limbs, of the abdomen and

while the neck wounds are again fewest.
Comparing the number OF wounds re-

in a naval combat. II is found that they are
almost identical. The difference Is that
