themselves at the home of Buffalo

wished 20 be married. The would-be
bride was of LONELINESS to cause
one less pity for the blind, but the

ceremony.

SWINGING ROCK FIRMLY FIXED
South American Natural Wonder De
fled Dictator of Argentine.

One of the strangest of natural
wonders of South America, is the
swinging rock of Tandil ia piedra
hovediza), says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The stone lies about half an
hours walk from the city OF Tandil,
province of Buenos Ayres Argentine
Republic, upon the highest summit of
little rocky ridge. When seen from
the ravine 1t has the form of giant
pyramid, while from another view 1t
resembles an enormous cone. 1t Is
twenty-one feet long and twenty-eight
feet high, and its weight is Judged to
be about 1880 hundredweight, or
about 627 tons. From the distance the
stone presents a peculiar aspect. 1t is
so highly poised on the rocky slope
that 1t seems as II we were watching
a stone roll down the hill and resting
for second upon very small base
But when we approach this swinging
rock we are astonished by new
wonder We can set the stone in mo
ton by merely pushing 1t with the
hand. Very often the traveller is
spared even the trouble Of pushing
the stone, as the wind will cause II
to swing.
Early in the nineteenth century the
Argentine Republic was ruled by the
dictator Rosa with unparalleled cruel
ty for about twenty-five years. Tc
show his supreme power the tyran'
ordered that the stone be encirclec
with ropes and many horses to be
harnessed to these ropes-but the
stone could not be moved one incl
from its resting place.

SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WA.
Their Use Urged by a German Mill
tary Writer.

lheir use urged by German Mill
tary Writer.
A writer in the Mllitar-Wochenbla
raises anew the question of the use
OF portable shields for the protection
OF infantry in the attack. says the
Broad Arrow. He writes approvingly
of the Japanese spade work in the
offensive, the more so because he
mentions incidentally, as a matter re-
garding which there can be no dis
pute, that the German authorities
have long since advocated the use of
artificial cover in the attack, and
points out that when the ground was
frozen or rocky, and the spade could
make no impression upon 1t, the at
lacking Japanese infantry not infre-
quently went forward, carrying with
them filled sandbags weighing as
much as forty pounds. He remarks
that II the undoubtedly brave Japa.
nese soldier found 1t necessary to
load himself with so bulky and bur.
densome a protection when advancing
In the open against an intrenched en-.
envy II would seem far better to equip
the infantry with light, handy shield.
Furnished with a handle by which
to carry it, loophole to fire through
and some arrangement to prevent its
failing down, the infantryman would
then find himself. like his gunner
comrade. protected by a bullet-proof
| shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt
suggests that on the march the shield
should be carried on the back, when
going into action on the chest, and
when advancing to the attack in the
left hand, so as to be at once available
for use when lying down to FIRE, both
as head cover and rife rest
