fresh moro than a few hours SO there
she was. kept hack from making the

In her despair she began 10 expert

methods and finally hit upon a plan
which seemed 20 give satisfaction. So
she preserved several big jars OF the
stun. put it upon sailing vessel and
made the trip. The child fed upon the
milk and was nourished.

Of a like observation made by him.
While sailing along the eastern coast
Of South America during the month of
March his ship was covered with innu-

ELECTRICITY IN WARFARE.
II 10 widely Used in the FoRtinea-
M0ns Along Our Sea
n, COm9t.

An interesting instance of the rapid
extension of the use Of electricity Is
furnished by the Notifications dlstrib-
uted along our coast, says the Scientific
American. A few years ago the electric
light was introduced, to add to the COM
fort of the garrisons and to provide bet
ter illumination of the works. Once q
generating plant had been installed
there was at hand supply of power In
n convenient and easily controllable
form. and this has led to its use for pur-
poses which we're not contemplated at
the time the plant was installed.
Electric fans have been put In to
make theliying quarters more comfort
able In hot weather and electric motors
have been adopted for training the guns,
class OF work for which they are par
ticularly well adapted. Motors are
used to drive the ammunition hoists
and to do other work which before had
either been done by hand or some less
satisfactory power Searchlights have
been installed. enabling fertilization
to sweep the sea at night. The various
posts of the fortress are connected to-
gether by telephone, so that the COM
mandant is In touch at all times with
the entire garrison and can instantly
transmit orders to any point The vari-
ous fortiflcations along the coast ara
tied together by telephone and tele-
graph. so that on the appearance Of the
enemy at any point all the fortincations
would be Informed Of 1t. Submarine
mines are controlled electrically and
ever ~ guns may be fired by this
mea y by an officer at some distant
point. by means of wireless telegra-
ply fertilization can be kept in touch
with the scouting vessels and would be
anformed of the approach of the enemy
gong before he is visible from the coast.
The telautograph may be brought into
service for Transmitting orders and
electric signaling lights are replacing
the older types
Electric lights are used for range
finder crosshairs, for lighting the range
finder stations, and electric clock cir
cults furnish accurate time to all parts
OF the fortihcation. To insure the con-
tlnuity of these manifold services ac-
cumulators are now installed. so there
will at all times be constant and re-
liable supply Of power. Thus, from be-
ing at nrst small auxiliary. the elec-
trical equipment has extended until It
is now probably the most important
part of the entire equipment OF the
fortress,
