in advance of firing to burst at the required number of seconds of flight
 With the bursting in air of the shrapnel shell the small balls within continue forward and downward, the whole lot rushing onward in the form of sheaf. The effect is very much the same as if 260 sharpshooters from position In the air not more than I5O yards distant suddenly opened fire on the exposed heads of the men below.
 Shrapnel is used not only against troops advancing in the open but also against troops when sheltered behind trenches, for under such circumstances troops can only be driven from sheltered positions when they can be reached by the overhead fire. Thus the Bel gian shells can be timed to burst over and kill Germans lying concealed in entrenchments. :

stal, suburb of Liege. These guns are a form of Mauser, and fire steei-jacketed bull let with great sending power. It is estimated that Belgian rife in the hands of an expert marksman can be counted on to do effective work at 4,00O yards range.
 The ground mine. which played an impor- tant part in the defense of Liege is one of the most destructive forms of defense known to military men today. It is especially effective when employed against troops en masse. These ground mines, as used in Europe, are hastily constructed pits filled in with boul. ders and fired by small high-explosive charges of guncotton. The pit Is lined with railway

penses properly included fin the ex- pense of the war.
 France also spent one billion dollars for the indemnity, and $400,- 100000 more for interest on this sum, cost of collecting it, loss in custom duties, contributions imposed by the enemy and the support of the Ger. man army of occupation. But this third class of expenses may not oc- cur in all wars, so 1t may hardly be fairly included in the cost.
 Here, following the same order of classification. are some figures of the expenses incurred in other wars:
 Russo-Turkish war (1877-187S): Turks, $400.000; Russo-Japanese war t1905), Russians, $1.20O, 100000.

 will now explain the details of the tre. mendous engines of destruction used in this conflict.
 The Belgian forts consist of crucible steel cupolas, that can be raised and lowered, and are placed in strategic positions, where they command the Valley of the Mouse and all approaches from the German frontier. Some are even located in the water. The cupolas are made in Lege.

The armoTed cupolas lie very close to the ground showing seldom more than three or foSr feet above the surface. and can be made to revove by the mere turning of crank The top of the cupola can be ele. vated several feet by the action of lever. and this is done when there Is little danger from sr,ail-arm fire But when the enemy ia close the capoa top Is lowered and the gun within Is trained by turning the cupola in the same manner that ships turret is swung
 The shells fired from the rapid-fre guns m the cupolas are invariably shrapnel whenever the object aimed at is body of troops. The shrapnel is the most deadly missile known to artillerists to-day for use against exposed bodies of men These shrapnel shells are filled with many bullets. To be accurate, there are about 2e0 bullets in the 295-inch shell. The walls of the shell are thin, and only small charge of powder is required to burst open--render apart, in other words --the walls of the shell and thereby release the bullets within
 It is the business of the gunners to burst the shrapnel in the air over and little short of the advancing troops. This is effected by means of a mechanically arranged time fuse. The fuse Is in the head of the shell. It looks very much like a metal plug. Around It's base Is metal ring having a graduated scale in- dicating seconds. This ring Is turned much after the manner of the time-knob in the door of q safe, and the shell can be adjusted

What It Costs to Kill One M

TT has been stated in a certain
 American paper that it costs = about $15,000 to kill one man in modern warfare. This figure seemed to me exaggerated and determined to investigate. My researches have proved that this paper was below. rather than above. the real cost.
 The cost of killing one man in war is. broadly speaking. the total war budget of one country divided by the total number of men killed and dis abled on the other side.
 In 1870-1871 France expended in round figures $400. .000. 900. She spent also $e00 100000 more for rebuilding houses and forts. giving aid to the victims of the war. and for other ex-
