ed with the mlnutest details Oh con-
rIeties OF grenades used by the British
1crces' but OIL the nearly lhhuiheraole
French, German and Austrian Varle-
ties as We'll. Moreover that the grad

graduate had to learn ana to teach olh-
.ers, now to handle the grenades so as
to get them into the German trenches
before they could damage the throWer'
but so that they would explode before
the enemy could pick them up ana toss
them back.
Also it was explained that the in
structors were obliged to understand
the use Of the Stokes bomb, which
weighs nine pounds, and which causes
a local but extremely efficient combi-
nation of earthquake and landslide
That he had to understand the use and
management of wet guncotton, in slabs
measuring eight by ten inches, and
detonated by dry waters of the same
material That he had to preach and
practice the manner of using these
larger affairs in blowing up the en-
placements after a charge, and in
rolling the smaller ones into the
mouths of dugouts in which Fritz
had taken refuge, thus sending dugout
and Fritz to glory-or elsewhere-at
the same time and by single opera
ton.
1t was also pointed out that in these
las in other branches of knowledge, that
nothing can qualify man to teach
like exhaustive experience in that
which he wishes to impart to others.
Nothing can be done, however, to-
ward enabling the army to avail itself
Of this store of knowledge. Congress
