Water is more important to an army than rifles and ammunition. Tommy Atkins requires ten gallons of it per day. His horseâ€"if he has oneâ€"needs another ten gallons. Elephants, when used as packâ€"anlmals, drink twenty- fivo gallons 8 day, camels drink ton. oxen six, horses six, four more are needed for cleaning them, mules and ponies five. A horse drinks one and a half gallons at a. time, and takes r>nly two minutes to do it. “'lien one of the enemy.is sent with l flag of truce, he is blindfolded and taken to the officer commanding the outposts. If he brings a letter, beis given a receipt, and immediately con- ducted outside the lines. He has thereâ€" fore not much opportunity of carrying away valuable information. MOUNTS AND REMOUNTS. The number of horses required by an Army Corps is immense. They are needed to mount the officers and the cavalry, to drag stores, ammunition. and guns, to draw the ambulance wag- gons and all] the hospital necessaries, to carry the bridges, pontoons, tele- graph apparatus, balloons, and hun- dreds of other things. An Army Corps requires at least 12,000 horses; and as these are constantly getting sick, getting shot, and breaking down they have to be renewed again and again. No fewer than 1,401 waggons are needed for the various purposes of an Army Corps. SHELLS FOUR MILES IN THE AIR The power of the modern gun is a thing that cannot be grasped. The 100- ton projectile strikes with a force equal to 465,000 eleven-stone men jump- ing from a height of one foot. When the 81-ton gun fires a shot twelve miles it is fired at such an angle that the. shell goes up to a height 5,482ft. higher than Mont Blanc. Big guns have been longer in use than most peo- ple think. ln the year 1478 they had guns, called “ bomha-rds," which threw projectiles weighing a quarter of a ton. They were wider at the muzzle than in the home, and were used for battering buildings. The English used big guns at the Battle of 0recy,and amazed the Frenh, who had never seen such Weapuus before. \VHEN BULLETS FALL. Falling bullets kill many men, even when they are lying sheltered behind trenches. If a bullet is fired in the air it falls with as mweh tome as it goes up. But, curiously, there is a certain limit of height, beyond which a bullet gains no more falling force; the reason being that when the mo- tion is very rapid the resistance of the No troops fight with a river in their rear if_ they can possibly help it, be‘ cause, if defeated, they'would have to oross the bridge, and could then be out d >wn to a man. The military way of putting it is, "Never fight with a defile in your rear." And a defile means any passage which narrows the front of a fighting force. air balances the attraction at gravity. [n the siege of Sebastopolâ€"and, in fact, during every campaignâ€"e great many men were killed by falling bullets. And the terrific force with which they come down is shown by a case in which the bullet entered the shoulder of aoav- ilryman, passed down through his body, and penetrated several inches in- to his horse’s back. A curious instance occurred not iong 130 in India. While a native was )leaning boots in the open air, he was oeen to drop dead without a cry. On axnmining him, they found that ebul- Let had entered the top of his head. No shot had been heard, and the per- son who fire it must have been a very long way off. The French reverse our names, and while they call rifle- bullets " balles," they call cannon-balls " boulets." Mr. Robert F. Gray, of 256 Clarence street, London, Ont., says: "I believe Catarxhozone will produce a poaluve cure for Catnrrh. After using It a Iew tunes relief was an assured fact.
