WAR NOT GREATLY CHANGED
MarveIs of Twenty Centuries Ago
Have Strange Similarity to Those
of Modern Battlefields.

It is said that there have been
more changes in the art Of war dur
ing the past ten years-since the
Russo-Japanese confict-than in the
previous so years; and more impor-
tant changes in those 50 years than
in the previous five centuries since
the use of gunpowder. Yet if the
survivor of Antietam or Gettysburg
were to accompany his grandson to
the country's newest battle front,
what would he find that is essentially
new? asks a writer in Everybody.
From these same battlefelds OF
France, 20 centuries ago, war cor
respondent sent home to Rome ac-
counts of certain armored engines of
war which were battering the fortifi-
cations of Germanic towns into the
dust over which now creep the
''tanks" of today. Indeed some OF
Alexander's special dispatches, read
by the loiterers in the Herald
Square of Athens 1900 years ago,
told how Persian inventor had
fixed to the wheels of his chariots a
scythe arrangement like that on the
front of the tank-to cut through
"barbed wire'' entanglements of the
Greeks. This oldest war correspond
ent-as every scheolboy reader OF
Caesar knows-spares no details OF
the war marvels Of the day.
Likewise the correspondents who
told how Colonel Jones of the Mas
sachusetts volunteers captured the
Winan's steam gun. 'It is ball proof,
can discharge from 100 to 500 balls
per minute, and is destined to inau-
gurate a new era in the science OF
war" After all, the real novelty OF
modern warfare is the censoTs blue

BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH
Lineman Resuscitated After He Appar-
entity Had Been Killed by Touch
ing Heavily Charged Wire.

A remarkable case of resuscitation
after electric shock is narrated in q
recent report of an inspector of a
New York power company, which
gives particulars of the recovery of
one of his men from the effects Of an
electric shock.
The man, when about to erect pri-
mary wires, was apparently killed by
accidentally touching a wire carry
ing current at $500 volts. A line
man Immediately took hold Of the
ankles of the limp body, lifting it
until the whole weight rested on the
neck, and letting it fall. He then
took a pair of connectors and ham,
mered the soles of the injured mans
feet without removing his shoes. An
other lineman opened the mans
mouth, pulled forward the swallowed
tongue (Which occurs in electric
shock), and was about to begin the
Schaefer prone method Of resuscita-
ton, while the man returned to life.
He was removed to the hospital, and
is now well, though suffering severe
ly from his burns.
Similar cases of recovery are men
toned in connection with the plan
of striking the feet without removing
the boots or shoes in case of electric
shock.-Scientifc American.
