of gun-cottOn, though it differs con-

were full of minute holes, which for

gined had been made by shrapnel bull
lets. But actually no shrapnel had
been employed. 1t is one of its pecu-
liarities that Shimose powder blows

able fragments, each about the size of
a large pea, and these fragments had
caused the terrible carnage. In some

Shimose powder is used by the jap

because it has been fired from guns OF

It would be rather interesting to drop

need only a tube large enough to contain

The parachute may be made of tissue

stiff ribs of an umhgella nor any mech

weight and the resistance of the air at

split into two and sank in 80 seconds.
Only two battleships have SO far
been destroyed in the present war,
and in each case the. mechanical mine
has been responsible for the damage.
1t is clearly much more deadly than
the torpedo, which has not hitherto
come up to anticipations, but has
failed to disable any ship permanently
or to sink her ON the spot.
The extensive use made of wireless
telegraphy is another new and strik-
ing feature of this war. Wireless tel
egraphy, however has proved an enc
my as we'll as friend; it was frcm a
wireless message sent out by one OF
the Russian ships, on the night OF
February 8, that Togo learned where
his enemy's main force was lying The
Russians, in the later stage of the
siege of Port Arthur, have used wire
less telegraphy to maintain their COM
munications with that fortress, erect
ing an installation on neutral Chinese
territory at Chefoo and thence send
ing and receiving messages. The Jap
anese, in their indirect bombardments
of Port Arthur, employed wireless tel
egraphy to signal the fall of the
shells A cruiser of the harbor
watched where the projectiles alight-
ed, and then signalled exact particu-
lars to the battleships which were be-
hind the Laotishan promontory and
out of sight.
On land the Russians have en-
pIoyed two new agents in war-land
mines and electric defeDses. The eff
feet of the land mines is as yet little
doubtful, but they appear to have
done considerable damage to the Japa-
nese in the assaults upon Port Arthur.

inflicted has been greatly exaggerated

to have been made by laying the heads
