From the hillside'a group Of men
watched with great interest develop
ments on the plain below. A squadron
of cavalry made a brilliant dash up
the slope. From the top of the grade
line of lurid flame shot out and men
and horses fell in heap. Back of
the lines clouds of belching black
smoke showed where howitzer shells
were bursting. From the trenches
hordes of men swarmed with bayonets
flashing and put to rout an advancing
brigade of infantry. Overhead d.
rigible was seen to collapse and fell
to earth, pursued by swarm Of mono
planes. Ambulances and Red Cross
corps hurried to and fro. Reinforce

the carnage began anew. The field
was covered with dead and dying men,
dead horses, demoralized artillery and
fallen standards.

A Gigantic Neptune.

At Monterosso. near Spezia, Italy,
there is an architectural curiosity-a
gigantic figure OF Neptune constructed
OF cement and used to support the ex-
treme end OF terrace for q seaside
villa. The house is the villa Pastine.
and the statue is the work OF Signor
Arrige Minerbl. a talented sculptor OF
Rome. The small promontory on
which the villa is built presented
many difficulties TO the architect. but
he finally succeeded In building there
a very commodlous and comfortable
residence. The statue. which Is won.
derfully lifelike. is IL meters In height.
The body. which, like the head. is
built OF reinforced cement. is hollow,
and contains a spiral staircase. Con.

with which signor Minerbl had to
work, he is to be congratulated on the
result OF his labors.-wide World

SOME FAMOUS SIEGES
INVESTED TOWNS THAT LONG
HELD OUT AGAINST FOE.
That OF Greatest Duration Was at
Richmond, Which the Confeder-
ates Defended for Four Years
GIbraltar's Great Exploit.

The defense OF Liege by 10000 Bel
CLANS against three German army
corps numbering 125,000 will go down
to history as one of the most brilliant
feats of arms in the annals Of war;
says London TitBits.
The Franco Prussian war Of 1901
was remarkable for its sieges. Bazaine
held out at Metz against the Germans
for nearly two months. and finally sur.
rendered with 5000 officers and 49,.
900 men. For this he had to submit
to court-martial, and was sentenced
to 20 years Imprisonment. Afterward
came the siege of Paris, which lasted
six months. Thousands Of shells were
rained on the city every day by the
Germans, and no fewer than 10000 OF
the inhabitants succumbed to disease
and hunger.
That lengthy sieges are quite possi
BILE even In these days of huge guns is
illustrated by Chukri Pasha's gallant
defense of Adrianople last year for 15t
days. Then there was the compare
lively recent great siege Of Port Ar
thur In the Russo-Japanese war In
1904-05, which finally capitulated after
being blockaded by Admiral Togo fol
210 days. The name of General Stoes
sci will rank with those Of the great
soldiers of modern times.
In Ottoman and Russian militar,
history there has never been a siege
like that of Plevna in 1877, when Os
man Pasha defied the Russians for IA
days, and finally surrendered on De
cember 10, with 10000 men and lO'
guns. owing to provisions and am
munition running short. In the sam'
year Kars, long the bulwark of thu
Ottoman empire in Asia, was stormet
by the Russians after q siege Of fiv'
months.
Twenty-Five years earlier the for
tress had been brilliantly defended TO
eight months against the Russians b.
the Turks under General Williams
who had but $4,000 men against $4,000
Even these sieges, however, ar
somewhat Insignificant when com
pared with some others. The lone
est siege occurred in the America
Civil war, when the Confederates dc
Tended the town of Richmond TO
1,4S5 days, or Just over four years
Sebastopol, In the Crimean war, hel
out for II months. while General Goi
don defended Khartum against tn
Sudanese for 800 days. The sieges @
Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafekint
In the South African war, lasted IN
123 and 264 days, respectively.
There is probably, however, no sieg
which Britishers like to read about S
much as that carried out by Franc
and Spain in their endeavors to carr
the Rock OF Gibraltar, 1883. Alt
gether the siege lasted nearly fou
years. and, as the world knows, r.
suited in a complete triumph OF Bri
fish arms in spite OF the fact that tn
enemy numbered 10000 to 10000 mel
while the defenders could only music
1000.
