about twenty-five yards wide by three
hundred long. This type has been
superseded by a smell Of the same
shape which contains, In addition to
the explosive charge at its base, an
other charge at the forward end which

desired to use the shell against in
trenched troops, the fuse is not lighted
and the forward charge of explosive
detonates upon contact with the
ground, scattering the bullets side
ways.
The French have been especially sue
cessful in the use of shrapueI. They
have designed a shell which carries
three hundred bullets and a liberal
charge of a high explosive which dis
tributes the bullets over a wide area.
Military experts have pronounced the

crud. When First Devised BY Rriton.

The first shrapnel shell was made in
1884 by Lieutenant Henry Shrapuel, of
the royal artillery OF the British army,
says writer in The Indianapolis
News" 1t consisted simply of an iron
shell filled with bullets and powder to
explode it with sufficient force to make
the bullets effective at close range.
The fuse was lighted before the shell
was placed in the cannon, and piece
of wood was attached to the shell to
keep it central in the gun and reduce
70 a-mirimum the chance of pre-
mature explosion. Later another Brit
ish ofacer, Colonel Boxer. divided the
shrapnel shell into two compartments,
one for the bursting charge and the
other for the bullets. When the shell
burst Ii was expected to emit co1lcal
shower of bullets. and this made 1t
particularly effective against troops
fighting In trenches OF from behind
barbados.
One trouble with the spherical shell
was It's uncertainty. The bullets We're
as likely to 60 up as down. This effect
led 10 further improvements and a
change in the shape A cylindrical
shell was designed with the bullets in
the nose and the explosive charge at
the base The fuse ran from the nose
through q brass tube to the powder,
