German Artillery
 Surprises World

The one big surprise for military experts thus far developed in the European war is the effectiveness of the heavy guns of the German field artillery. says the November Popular Mechanics magazine. in an illustrat- ed article Never before have such terrible engines of annihilatiOn been carried by an invading army @s those used in the assaults upon the forts at Liege.
 It had long been realized that more powerful guns would be needed in the fie'd if modern inland fN"i,fi cations were to be made to fall be fore an army, but there was aDnar- ent security In the fact that guns large enough for such purpose would be too large to be transport ed from point to point Even were motive power available. the enor- nous weight of the guns would make all but the hardest of paved highways impossible for them. But the development of the internal combustion tractor solved the trans portation problem, while that of haul ing heavy weights over soft ground was solved by the invention of a detachable tread for the rims of gun carriage wheels. With these for use on bad roads it has been pos sible for the Germans to rush to the front their enormous Hin. how itzers, which are nearly as great as the American 12-in. coast-defense guns and weigh 20 tons.
 The ingenuity of the Krunp engin- eers did not stop here. They sue ceeded in building a gun able to hurl projectiles through steel and concrete walls, such as those at Liege, almost as easily as if the works were of lath and plaster. The story of carnage and destruction wrought by a single shell from this masterpiece burdens the imagina- tion Profound secrecy has clothed the details of the construction of the machine, which was invented some eight years ago, tested and for obvious reasons subsequently pro- nounced a failure. It fires 165-in. projectile, and when used at Liege against Fort Loncin was mounted on base of concrete having 10O-ft radius. A tunnel leading to a sub terranean chamber was excavated some distance at the rear, from which the gun was fired by electricity.

Dr. Mayo, of Rochester Minn., points out the interesting fact that within the last five years operations for appendicitis have increased over 300 per cent, and he says that this alarming condition is due to the prac- tice of wearing belts instead of suspenders.
