Americans and Spaniards, setting an

The
Cruel Knife!

1t is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, or
any other blood disease. The cruelty
OF such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re-
suit from it. The disease is in the
blood, and hence can not be cut out.
Nine times out of ten the surgeons

Destructive Missiles.

A notable feature Of modern war
fare is the employment OF what are
known us high explosives. In the
American campaign in Cuba the dyna-
mite gun has been used with awful
effect. the Spaniards saying that earth
quakes were being thrown at them.
This gun II not fred with a charge of
gin powder, the shock Of which would
be likely to explode the dynamite shell,
but by compressed air, which urges the
shot forward in a more gradual man
ner. The dynamite gun is, in fact,
pea shooter on very large scale. Ex-
periments have been lately made by
our own military authorities with the
explosive known, as lyddite, which Is
said to be a preparation of picrate Of
potash. Six-inch shells containing the
explosive were directed against a
stone wall ten feet thick at the base,
and tapering to six feet at the. top. A.
a range OF 500 yards this wall was
shattered so that troops could easily
enter the breaches made. II IL also
reported that these missiles exploded
with such terrific force. and cast such
clouds of debris around them, that any
enemy within a radius Of ESQ yards
must infallibly be killed or disa bled.-

When Ghafter was senior colonel Of the
srmy he was temporarily in charge Of some
western post, and numbered in his COM
mand an exceedingly bright, capable fellow
whose cleverness was continually getting
him the noncommission stripes, and whose
escapades were just as frequently getting
him reduced to the ranks. One day this
soldier turned ~ ut saaftera quarters with
a long face and applied for leave to attend
the funeral of his mother, who had died the
previous night, he sa;d, in the town. The
request was granted, but later on, in looking
over the same records, the colonel discov-
cred that the same man had been granted
leave the month before on the identical pre-
text. Shafter said nothing, but a couple
of days sfterward encountered the bereaved
warrior on the parade grouad. Look here,
