Where Hunters Still Use Long eo,

Bows and arrows are still in use in
some parts OF the world. Even now
there are a few tribes of savage We'd
dahs. running wild in the jungles of
the southeastern part of the island OF
Ceylon. who make their living by snar-
ing birds. catching fish and shooting
small animals with bows and iron
headed arrows. They are the descend.
ants of the aboriginal inhabitants of
the island and number less than 1000
persons. representing little over L
per cent of the population of Ceylon.
But. although they dwell In caves or
bark huts and lead the widest kind OF
savage lives. they are shy. simple folk.
and anything but dangerous. In stat.
ure they are slight. seldom more than
five feet tall, and have extremely small
heads There are few, II any. other
savage tribes that do not now use fire.

Ancien.s Used Gas Warfare.

The earliest use OF deleterious gases
in siege warfare is recorded in the
history of the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 404 b. c. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task of the attacking
forces less difficult.

Thought Umbrellas unmiIitary.

Umbrellas and khaki seem mos,
unlikely combination; yet one in
stance is recorded of British soldiers
taking their umbrellas into action, &C,
cording to the London Chronicle. On
December 10, 1913, during the battle OF
the Nive. the Grenadier guards cap
tured redoubt outside Bayonne
While they were in possession of this
Wellington passed by and noticed thai
the officers had umbrellas up to pro
tcct themselves from the heavy rain.
He sent back his aide-de.camp
Lord Arthur HILL. to tell them that
the duke does not approve of the use
of umbrellas in action. The guards
officers may, II they pleace, carry um-
brellas even in uniform when on duty
at St James; but in the field 1t is not
only ridiculous, but unmilitary.
