the corpses and shell-holes in the d.

HOW A FLY WALKS

You have seen boy use what he
calls sucker, a round. fiat piece
Of leather which is soaked in water
and fiattened against a stone SO that
all the moisture between the stone
and the leather is pressed out He
picks up q brick with a string at
tached to the leather.
Since there Ia no afr between the
leather and the stone. the atmosphere
presses the leather so firmly against
the stone that the stone can be picked
up by the leather.
A aythas suckers on his feet which
act very much on the same principle,
says Popular Mechanics. As soon as
he puts down q foot he automatically
squeezes the air out between II and
the surface upon which he is walking.
The atmosphere, therefore. presses
him AGAINST the ceiling or wall.

IN NO MANS LAND

Lieutenant Coningsby Dawson tells
the following personal experience in
mo Mans Land" in the current Good
Housekeeping:
my major told me that was to be
ready at three-thirty next morning to
accompany him up front to register
the guns. In registering guns you
take telephonist and linesmen with
you. They lay in line from the
battery to any point you may select az
the best from which to observe the
enemy's country. This point may b.
two miles or more in advance of your
battery. Your battery is always hid
den and out of sight, for fear the enc
my should see the fash of the firing
consequently the officer in charge Of
the battery lays the guns mathemati
cally, but can not observe the effect
Of his shots. The officer who goes for
ward can see the target; by telephon-
ing back his corrections. he makes
himself the eyes Of the officer at the
guns.
at had been raining when we crept
out of our kennels to go forward. Ev-
erything was dim, and clammy, and
spectral. At the hour Of dawn one
isn't at his bravset.
1--WE entered a trench. Holes were
scooped out in the side of just large
enough to shelter a man crouching.
Each hole contained a sleeping SOL
dler who looked as dead as the occu-
pant of a catacomb. Some of the
holes had been blown in; all you saw
Of the late occupant was protruding
arm or leg. At best there was hor-
rid similarity between the dead and
the living. 1t seemed that the walls
of the trenches had been built out of
corpses, for one recognized the uni
forms of Frenchmen and Huns. They
were built out of them, though wheth-
er by design or accident 1t was impos-
sible to tell. We came to group of
men. doing some repairing; that part
of the trench had evidently been STRAIT
ed last night. They didn't know where
they were, or how far It was to the
front-line. We wandered on, still lay
ing in our wire. The colonel of our
brigade joined us, and we waded on
still laying in in our wire. The col
onel of our brigade Joined us, and we
waded on together.
"The enemy Smelling was growing
more intense, as was always the way
on the Somme when we were bringing
out our wounded. A good many of
our trenches were directly enflladed;
shells burst just behind the parapet,
when they didn't burst on 1t. It was
at about this point in my breaking-in
that received blow on the head
and thanked God for the man who in
vented the steel helmet.
"All OF a sudden we halted, making
ourselves as small as could be. In
the rapidly thinning mist ahead of us
men we're moving. They were stretch
er-bearers. The odd thing was that
they were carrying their wounded
away from. instead Of toward us. Then
II flashed on us that they were Huns.
We had wandered into No Mans Land.
Almost at that moment we must have
been spotted, for shells commenced
falling at the end Of the trench by
which we had entered. Spreading out
30 as not to attract attention, we com
menced to crawl toward the other END
Instantly that also was closed to us,
and a curtain OF shells started drop
