SUITS OF ARMOR.
The Last Battle In which They Were
Worn by European Soldiers.

Che Last Battle In Which They Were
Worn by European Soldiers.
The last occasion, 1t Is believed, on
which suits Of armor We're worn in bat
tie by European soldiers was In 1880.
The incident, according to ctroniclers
of the Napoleonic wars, took place in
that year, when small French fierce
was holding the little fort at Aquilla
in the Abruzzi against rising of the
hostile peasantry of the district.
The French were not strong enough
to fight their way through the lines of
their opponents, who outnumbered
them 20 to /, while, as the latter had
no guns. the Frenc4Een could hold
their position with conscience.
There We're. however, left on the
space lying between the opposing
forces some dozen or aasurs which the
beleaguered had not Yen able to take
with them into the fort
An attempt was made by the besieg-
ers to remove these guns by means of
a long rope worked by capstan plac-
cd in a house short distance away
and, though their first endeayors re-
suited in failure. the French realized
that the ultimate capture of the ord
nance would seriously jeopardi2e the
chances of the fort holding out.
The necessity Of spiking the guns
was apparent, but sorte in the face
OF the overwhelming musketry fire OF
the insurgents was out Of the question
