Symons, librarian at the Law School, Toronto, is one of those who praise Hutch's cura- live powers. Mr. Symons says that owing to the sedentary nature of his work he suered for years with sour stomach, dyspepsia, and constipation. He endeavoured by every means to obtain relief and did not spare expense. Prominent physicians were consulted, but at best only temporary relief was obtained. The same old misery came back stronger than ever. Mr. Symons was induced tc try Hutch, and procured his first package at Har- bottle : Drug Store, King street west. `'1 was a very much surprised man, said Mr. Symons, " at the sudden relief I obtained. .1 have been taking Hutch three weeks now, and I have not suered any stomach distress whatever in that time. I am no longer costive. I am delighted with Hutch. It is a wonderful treatment." Teal-iuu:h.'I`en cents.

Obviously. the resistance is diinin. ished ii the some weight oi metal can he put. into an elongated body presenting a relatively very small surface to the air as compared with a round shot.

Now, if, hy any one of many methods, we impart such a shape to the gun and to the projec- tile that, as this latter passes up through the bore oi the gun, .', has to turn round on its longer axis a certain number of times. it is obvi- ous that it will leave the E1"! `vith an imparted tendency to spin round at the same rate with which it had to spin during the brief time it was in the gun. llilling" takes many (nu--nu and has ITIIIIIV vnrii.-ties. but or no xmormuuon to many un Luvuv at uome who are ueep|y_u1tereste(.l In unuuug out what rs nuppemng to their loved ones cnguge in the new.

'10 the best of my knowledge und belief, the man from whom all nutions hswe borrowed the invention ol the ried shrapnel is Col. Hope, V. C. He, wishing that England should huve the ex- clusive use of his invention, did not patent it, but sent it to (me who had the power to introduce it into the English service. The recipient did so introduce it, and the ried Shrapnel so i troduced remains the great projecti . of our horse and field artillery. For the experience of the war between France and `-- nuiny led to the conclusion that n projectile which dealt out destruc- tlon umong men was more effective for general purposes than one which only smashed material things.

In order to reduce the weight of the piece. and to enable it L0 be drawn easily by horsw or mules in the ileld, it was made very much shorter than the gun, and as this would have caused a great re- coil irom the reaction when the shot was discharged, the howitzer, in- stead of being laid, like the gun, ap- prozimately horizontal, was only fired at high angles, so that its shells travelled in very high curves, coming down on the enemy from above, while the recoil was largely downward and was received on a bed prepared for the purpose. When shell came to be so uniformly ein- ployed by the ordinary field guns, howitzers gradually dropped out oi use, and ceased to be any part of the ordinary equipment of iield bat- teries. Circumstances have. however, restored them to favor. All nations have for a great niany years been trying whether they could not intro- duce a more powerful explosive than gunpowder as a means of bursting their shells. it happens that there is a. very powerful agent, long known to chemists, which, if it only could be made practically available, seemed to promise to give very de- cisive results. This was piric acid. its compounds were very powerful and effective as long as they were quite fresh, but so fickle was the creature that the compounds rapidly changed their character, deteriora- ted, and became dangerous. Never- theless both (ls-rinuny and France But to work to create ii compound, of which a picrate should be the basis. such as could be safely used in the field. France uses a composition of picric acid known us"'melinite." 1 do not know \\lietln-r it is the case no\\ or not, but ll few years ago France met the (litlluilty of the rapid deterioration by making up fresh mellnlte and refilling the shells with it every year. 1-`or us, more especial- ly for our ships, liable always to be recalled from distant stations to form fleets at home, it was excep- (ionally important to get over this difiiculty of rapid deterioration in- volving danger in storage. After long experiments a form of picrate was devised which we call "lyd- dite," because the experiments were carried out at Lydd, one of our great. practice grounds. From trial in various climates and for long periods it was found that. on the one hand. it was possible with [this material to secure adequate perman- once, and. on the other that it was not safe to make it up for small shells. Yet. it was iuecessary, if pos- sible, to have weapons employing these shells wish us in the tield-- that is to say, light enough to be drawn by horses. so that they could be moved about to a reasonable ex- tent with other troops. It was for this purpose that. recourse was again had to the old method of the howit zer. A "battery" is six of these howiturrs. short pieces ring at high angles of elevation. each drawn by six horns. and able to mme along roads and on good ground at a trot. but usually obliged on dilcult. ground to move up into position at a walk. We have now three of these batteries. eighteen .howit1ers in all. on their way to the Cape. Mean- time. by the ingenuity of a naval ofhcer.

In our modern infantry weapons the [int great change that followed riniiig was that all our rules were made to be louded at the breech or back end 01 the gun, and not iroin the muzzle. lhe ordinary breech- loading riiied siniill-arni was the weapon used by both the French and Ueflllulls Ill their great vsur oflz-471). There were diilereiites between the weapons used, but both were in this respect alike. Since then invention has gone on rapidly. By sonie ineans or other all nations now supply their iuen with a magazine {or rapid Iii-ing. This is either xed to the breech or detucliuble. '1`he form we now employ is the "Lee-Enlield." The dilierence be- tween thia and the 14.-e-MetIord `is very snialli It takes the same bul- let. The Boers use the Mauser. The chiet distinction between the two is this---that while the L400*Ellcld has it iiiugaziiie which is inserted under- neath the body through the trigger- pzuiird and secured by B. catch and is prinidod \\ith what is culled EL "cut-oll" to prevent the cartridges troiii rising, so that it can be used as 11. simple brem:h-loader for single lirinpz till the inagiizine, which con- tains ten cartridges, is ordered to be used, the Mauser on the other hund, has a. iiiagaziiie which, though not absolutely iixed, is only intend- ed to be taken o for cleaning. It does not nted ll. "cut-oil" to use as a single loader. The iiiagimiiie mn- tains live curtriilges, but herons the cartridges for the Lee-lneld have, when the magazine is charged, to be each put in 8t`|)ul`utt'I_V. the iiiagnzino of the Mauser is lled at once by placing ugiilnst the face of the nimmzine a set of hire cartridges held in a clip, which hills oil when the cartridges have been lll8t.'l'l.ed in the magazine. Thus it each Weapon were at the beginning of a light einpiy, the Mauser would permit of rapid tire because it could be loaded five Cartridges at n time while the l..a.l`niild wmild take cartridge by ro lnoonod Incidents or Ilongsld c Don- ets other low: loses.
