POPULAR MECHANICS MAGAZINE FOR
OCTOBER.

The European conflict now wagng
acquires its most terrifying aspect
through the use OF modern Mechanical
equipment. Munitions of war even
more scientific and deRth-dealing than
the public had expected have appeared
upon the continental battlefield De-
vices which have been kept secret un-
tilsuch-time as they might confer ad-
vantage, providential or strategic,
upon their owners, are reported from
time to time. 1t is this pronounced
phase of the war which Popular Mech
anics Magazine successfully endeavors
to present to its readers. Censorship
in the involved territory has been
stricter than on any previous occasion,
yet the October magazine contains,
besides handsome and pertinent
cover design, sixteen pages made up
chiefly OF views direct from the scenes
Of the conflict. Aerial warfare, so long
heralded, and nov an awful actually

are fully described, and the mobiliza
tion of troops is graphically portrayed

Magazine contains, all told, 27S articles
aud 1856 illustrations. While the Eu-
ropean war is the topic of prime inter
