bad roads and across plowed fields.
In addition both the German and Aus
trian heavy pieces are mounted on a
carriage, the wheels Of which are mt
ted with flanges for use on the rail-
roads. Whether or not this latter de-
vice has been suggested by the war
cannot be said, but a few days ago
several heavy German batteries were
taken in this manner over the Belgian
railroads. the road tractor running on
tho rails also. Ordinary railroad cars
trailing behind the caissons carried
the personnel Of the batteries.
Explosive Used.
What sort OF explosive the Germans
use in the forty-two cantimetre shells
is still a mystery. French officers
of forts bomJbarded by the Germans
maintain that the charge of the pro
~jectiva is melinite, but others have
expressed the opinion that The eX-
plosive is something entirely new and
that the gases formed by it have even
greater expansion that those OF nitro
glycerine, the strongest high explos-
i've known. These is no doubt that
the vapors of the explosive have a vio-
lent toxic effect and nothing but a
strong application of oxygen will re-
vive those succumbing to them.
The Germans "42."
The German forty-two is made with
two barrels along one for fiat range
fire, and a short one for high-angle
fire. In the former the ballistic
charge is necessarily much stronger,
and with a protective weighing from
1900 to 1900 pounds the pressure eX-
erted by the explo i've upon the cham
Der walls cannot be less than one hun
dred eighty tons to the square inch,
it is said. The %high-argle or mortar
forty-two requires a slightly smaller
propelling charge. The long-barrelled
gun is used against the faces offered
by Notifications, while the mortar
drops its shells from a high elevation
into the fort or redoubt. Their sight
ranges are said to be, respectively,
eight and five kilometres, while &C
cording to the Koelnische Zeitung the
flight of the shell exceeds twelve and
ten kilometres. The fight Of both
shells is attended by a number OF in.
.teresting aerial phenomena, which so
far have been merely limited at by
German experts. One of them, loV-
ever, is that the gases Of the cham
Der explosion travel ahead of the pro.
iecti!e for a long distance, but that in
the end they r left behind by the
shell, first the one and then the other
having the greater speed, an indica
ton, it is sriously maintained, that the
vacuum created by the gases tend to
not only support the flight of the huge
mass Of steel charge, but that they
actually accelerate it. At about two
thousand meters the shell leaves the
company of the gases. Odd as it must
seem the Photographic experiments
demonstrating this were made by a
German ordnance expert during the
bombardment of Namur. Such at least
is the claim of the German press,
which treats the results obtained very
%guardedly.

sibelius was first exploited here AZ a
Russian composer in the concerts of tho
Russian Symphony Society, and T. is easy
enough 10 recognize Russian traits n his
music: but by all the principles supposed
20 govern musical creativcness he ought
70 be more Swedish than Russian. Per-
laps it would be pretty close 10 the truth
10 say that his music is basically German,
but tnctured like most, If not all, OF the
art music which Finland has produced
