rhs Effects OF ARTILLERY.

1t has long been q commonplace that
the effects of artillery are mainly
''moral." bet for all that the lntroduc-
ton Of new explosives-lyddite. espe-
cially-and Of quicker firing guns had
insensibly revived the belief In the
great material value Of artillery. II
would be gratuitous to say that artil'
larry has had q great downfall In gen.
eSnl estimatlon-among those who have
always taken a sane view Of Its uses
we do not think It has-but we may
fairly say that relatively to artillery
the rife has gained In reputation. We
know now that lyddite. although II
may make short work Of a Mahdis
tomb. Is Of little use against earth
works, especially when It falls on very
soft ground. and that the stories OF
men whose senses left them and whose
teeth shook In their heads because they
happened to be within q quarter Of q
mile Of an explosion Of lyddite were
mere moonshine. e.-TAe Spectator.
