PUT WARFARE ON NEW BASIS
Use of Field Artillery at Crecy Marked
the End of the Mail-Ciad
Fighting Man.

OF all the worlds great battles
Crecy possesses a unique interest. The
English used only three pieces of field
ordnance. They were small cannon
made Of trees, bored, and bound with
iron hoops, and the missiles were Of
stone, scarcely larger than baseballs.
Doubtless this rude artillery made far
more noise than it effected damage.
1t was the longbow and the broad
sword that won the battle, but never
theless gunpowder vas henceforth to
play an ever-increasing part in the
strife Of nations.
Explosives wrought a vast change
in fighting methods on land, for many
of the old-time weapons were rendered
quite useless in face Of death-dealing
ball and shot. Warfare afloat, too,
would be revolutionized. Hitherto the
fighting ships had been largely car
riers Of soldiers in order to board and
fight, as on land; whereas the time
was at hand when ships could be rid
died with ~cannon-balls without the
crews coming into actual contact.

KILLED WHILE RoBBING TOMB
PIunderer Of Egyptian Sarcophagus
Crushed When Roof Fell in, and
Companions Fled.

Professor Petrie, the eminent Egyp-
tologist, while exploring about thirty
five miles from Cairo, discovered a
tomb of the Twelfth Dynasty that
thieves had broken into thousands Of
years ago. A tragedy attended the
robbery, as Professor Petrie also dis
covered. The Sunday School Times
calls it "a tragedy of proVidential
justice"
1T appears" says Professor Petrie,
"that the %plunderers removed only a
few bricks, SO that a mar could crawl
into the tomb. One of the men entered,
opened the coffin, lifted the mummy
out and laid it across the coffin, SO
that he could easily unwind the band
ages. He first found a collar of beads.
which he passed out into the shaft,
where we found it. Then he came to
the jewels Ga beautiful work of gold
and colored gems), and took it from
the body. Before he could do anything
more the roof apparently fell in, and
crushed him and the mummy. The
other robbers, seeing the fate Of their
accomplice, abandoned the tomb, and
filled in the shaft to hide their guilt"
The explorers found the skeleton Of
the robber beside that of the mummy.

WORTHY A PLACE IN HISTORY
Cadets of chapuItepee Made for Them
selves a Record Which Will
Long Endure.

The defense of Chapultepec, during
the war between the United States
and Mexico in 1S47. was almost as
gallant as was the attack. In this
attack forty-eight Mexican cadets.
among others. lost their lives. The
story is a stirring one.
For many years the celebrated
Castle of Chapultepec, where Monte
yuma held his barbaric court in the
surrounding groves of cypress, where,
during nearly three centuries lived
the successive ~viceroys of Spain, and
where Macmillan made his imperial
home, has been the West Point of
Mexico.
When General Scott had taken the
place by storm and General Bravo had
surrendered, a Mexican cadet, only
fifteen years old, seeing the flag of his
country in peril, most of his comrades
being already slain, climbed the flag
staff, tore the banner from its place,
wound it around his body and slid
down, intending to plunge over the
precipice, in order to save the colors
from falling into the hands Of the
enemy.
The act of heroism being frustrated
the brave boy, with the banner still
wrapped about him, fought until he
was cut in pieces. Forty-eight of these
schoolboys, ranging from fourteen tc
twenty years, lie buried in one grave
at the foot of the hill. Year after
year the cadets of Chapultepec strev
flowers upon the grave.-Lewistor

been leading, a woman listed at the
morgue as Mrs. Anna Shaw, aged

name is said by her sister to be Rush.
took her own life at her home, by
swallowing a quantity of poisonous
disinfectant.
After swallowing the poison, the
woman is said to have written a letter
to a sister telling of her life since the
death Of her husband in the Dixmont
Hospital for the Insane, six months
ago, and warning other women not to
follow in her steps.
Ghost demonstrated With Her.
According to other residents of the
house where Mrs. Shaw resided with
her two children, the woman had been
in constant fear for the past several
weeks because, she said, the ghostly
figure of her husband confronted her
at every turn, both day and night, beck
oning her to come, and demonstrating
with her because she was not leading
a proper life.
The woman, after swallowing the
poison, lived an hour, in which time
she told residents of the house she
was sorry for the act, and pleaded
that a physician be called.
The woman's own story, according
to the residents of the house, was that
she was awakened early in the morn
ing by the figure of her husband.
Despondent, she said, because the fig
ure haunted her both day anG night,
she went to a bathroom and drank
the poison.
Mourned Life She Led.
Following is the note left by the
woman:
