Smallest Religious Sect In the World

The smallest religious sect in the
world is that of the SamaritanS. who
are to be found in the small city of
Nablous. in North Palestine. This
city. which is the Neapols of Jose
plus. the Shechem of the Old Testa
ment and the Sychar of the New Tes
lament. is situated in the narrow val
ley between the Mts. Ebal and GeriZim.
The population of NablOus numbers
about 1000. all of whom are Mahom-
etans with the exception of this little
religious community NOW numbering
the ravages of war poverty and oppres-
sion for 5000 years. These Samari.ans
have lived on through the centuries.
and their unity has never been broken
They have chung to little Nablous and
10 their sacred Mt. GeriZim as the very
cactus roots to the granite sides of the
somber Ebal that confronts them
across the valley. They are regarded
by the Jews as heretics. as they accept
only the pentateuch. They possess an

The microscope and chemical analy-
sis have proved beyond the question OF
a doubt the presence of disease germs
in the blood. differing in shape and
appearance, according TO the nature or
the disease. Anything relating TO
their presence, or, better still, their
removal is consequently of interest to
our readers and we therefore call at
tention TO a very interesting little
book. recently published by NJ r.
Zaegel & Company. in which the au-
thor clearly demonstrates the cause
of these little enemies OF mankind, and
gives a practical home treatment by
which, without impairing the health OF
the smallest child, they can be re-
moved from the system. AS this book
let will be mailed free TO any reader
OF this paper. together with a free
sample of enough roots and herbs for
two weeks home treatment, We advise
all to make application at once by
writing to NJ. r. Zaegel 6, Co, p. o. Box

ARTILLERY SHELLS AND THEIR USE

While a great deal is written about
subject not always fully understood.
The artillery now being used by the
British in South Africa consists Of the
twelye-pounder horse artillery gun and
the fifteen FOUNDER field artillery gun.
They are practically to the same pat

the barrel. Horse artillery invariably
co-operates with cavalry and is able to
keep up with the same at its fastest
pace. its gunners always being mount

co-operates with infantry. and must
be ready to be pushed into action at a
moments notice.
1t Is only in field and horse artillery
that the guns are known by the weight
OF their charge. other guns deriving
their name from the diameter OF their
bore-that is. their caliber. In horse
and field artillery the ca!iber is three
inches. both for case shot and shrap-
mel A shrapnel is hollow shell filled
with some 200 bullets and a small
bursting charge sufficient to burst it
and disperse the bullets over a conical
area. This charge of an ounce and
half is at the base of the shell. with the
bullets packed above it and round an
inner tube reaching from the tip of the
shell to the exploding charge. The bull
lets are placed in rosin to prevent their
rolling and interfering with accuracy
of aim. The powder charge projecting
the shell is independent and is con-
tanned in a silk bag to facilitate hand
ling and exactly fitting the breech of
the gun.
The method of exploding the shrap-
mel is interesting. At its upper end the
projectile has funnel shaped OPEN

Another Trick stolen from Nature.

The easiest way of doing anything is
the way that nature chooses, and ten
to one when an inventor comes out
with some new and brilliant idea he
same thing since the beginning OF the
world. Certain varieties of fish have
the power when hard pressed by their
enemies. of throwing out an inky fluid
which darkens the water all about
them and enables them to escape In
safety Perhaps influenced by this
fact an inventor has taken out pat
ent for a underwriting device. The
idea is to enable vessel closely
pressed by another to envelop herself
in the smoke and to escape under cover
of it. With view to testing the effica-
cy of the invention torpedo boat was
placed in the center of number of
others. which made a circle Of about
half a mile in diameter around her.
The torpedo boat thus surrounded then
envelOped herself in the smoke and
under cover of it was enabled to escape
from the circle. though all the other
boats were keeping very sharp look
out for her. Altogether the expert
ment may be said to have been fairly
successful. and to have proved the
practical utility of the invention.
