Wft Considsrsd Powerful Weapons nfcj When World Was Young. a The military engineering of today IU. seems less remarkable In point of ,ne inventive ingenuity than that of 2000 itt- years ago, when in the absence of xplosi\es for purposes of destruction, out s,'ige warfare assumed extraordinary fc(j. developments. Often it happened that t,n a walled town withstood a seige for the years?usually in the end to be taken !in and given up to sack and plunder, the Th? wall of such a town might be um | sixty or even one hundred feet in of [ height, its construction was an cnorbe ' nious labor, the outer and inner fac,en ings being of masonry, with a rilling big I of earth and stones between. The her1 height of the wall, outside, was in era , effect augmented by a deep moat, the out digging of which supplied the aboveem mentioned tilling. At intervals along ? the wall were towers, on which machines were mounted for throwing huge stones. n The k'NiKcrx had similar engines tl (catapults and ballistas), an<i they uld "'"idoycd hug?- logs of wood weigh> ing many tons, with metal-pointed ,j,.r heads, to break through the wall. As ray a l'r,'''minary to this kind of attack the ''"'-v ??ed in parts of the moat. and. ous l'ro,,'ct themselves against missiles thrown from above, they would build but "'hat th' y ca.led a "rat'"?a sort of abovegroiind tunnel of timberwork bl\ ,'ov<'r,',' with clay, r Heneath the "rat" a ram of the kind above described could be opcratd,, e.l, being swung from a machine de igtiatcd for the purpose, (.'r it Ion 'u-s, 'l as a means of approach to a mine gallery excavated beneath the wall. Such a gallery was supported by timber struts and phtnking. lk' When it was large enough the sup'v * ports wen burned and the wall collapsed. ,a 1 The Koman legionary was not merely a good lighter; he was a skilled workman. It was part of his busient iiess to construct ami operate engines ?>f war. One of the latter was "s a crane of great height, by which a 'rt cage containing fifteen or twenty picked soldiers was hoisted on to the tell I crest of the fortifications. There were also lung ladders, on wheeled platforms, by which it was sought to ^ gain the top of the wall Most remarkable, however, were the wooden seige towers (sometimes ?ier , I'.o feet high), which moved on tfe' 1 .^ wheels twelve feet in diameter and 1 four feet thick. Such a tower might ' ' have a dozen lloors, carrying bow*1 men on top and missile engines on I*. | p lower stories, with a ram swung bet he .. ( neath. j A war^tower of this description was really a colossal affair. It even .. carried reservoirs of water with 1 which to extinguish fires. Perhaps its most important purpose was to dominate the defense, keeping down lo the lire from the wall. Hut. when mn opportunity served, it could throw across to the wall a drawbridge for ow a storming party. In the meantime, of course, the besieged were not idle. They built '' 1 wooden towers high enough to overtop those of the besiegers. As a defense against mining, they dug counter-mines. driving out the enemy or lllling his galleries with smoke. From the top of the wall they poured blazing pitch upon the foe. oil ^ ?V... warfare, ancieiv! and modern, goes to prove that the offense is stronger than any defense. In the average instance a town bcselged is a town lost. It has always been so; it is so today, when it is fully recognized that no place can be successfully defended ood ,.Xcept by military operations outside of it ?Philadelphia Ledger. ,t:ir Cannonballs of Gold.?Once upon a all<' time?it wax near the end of the sixteenth century?the rich city of Ahmndnagnr.

Fllis, an industrious tanner ol Cherokee county, has just returned from a trip to Atlanta, <Ja., where lie had a very strenuous and costly experience. He stopped off in Atlanta for a tew hours on his way to Incksonvilic. Fin., where he was going to purr base, some real estate. While waiting at the station there he made the acquaintance of a salesman who claimed to be a tobacco salesman and represented to Kllis that he owned 64 acres of valuable land within live miles <d Atlanta, which he would sell for ill) per acre. When Kllis Informed him that the purehase price was more than he cared to pay. the man told him that there were two men In the neighborhood who would buy 24 acres of the land and that he would sell him the remaining 40 acres for il.OOo provided he was pleased after inspecting the premises. He was then introduced to a real estate man who posed as the agent of the vendor. The party then drove out to the place where they met two men referred to who agreed to purchase 11 and 13 at'iva, respectively, at $45 per acre. On i-,.turn t<> Itliintn the vendor demanded of Mr. Kllis $350 to close tin- trade. Not having that amount with him. he wired to the Merchants' and IManters' National hank of Claflfne> t<> telegraph the money to him, hu: when the wire arrived in Gaffney the hank was closed, and Mr. Ellis, being anxious to close the trade came to Gaffney and drew from the hank *1.0:15 and returned to Atlanta, where he met his man. who invited him to lunch, and carried him to an upper floor of one of Atlanta's skyscrapers where Mr. Ellis ordered -oysters. When the bivalves were served Ellis remarked that they had a taste of smoke on them and the waiter informed him that the range on which they were prepared was smoking. Mr. Kills remembered no more until he found himself in Greenville, with not ^JBpent"of money and~no~dee~d f'or the property. On consulting a physician he was informed that he had been poisoned and that he had escaped death by a very narrow margin. Mr. Kills has no hope of recovering the money, realizing that he has been the victim of sharpers who framed up the whole intrigue after he reached Atlanta. ? Legislation looking to the compulsory conservation of food?possibly a system of enforced rationing?is being prepared, t'nder the proposed legislation wheatless days, meatless days, as well as other regulations for food conservation will be made absolutely compulsory. This can be stated on the highest authority. Voluntary conservation has failed to produce the quantities of food destined for movement overseas, although the campaign for food saving Is being supported lo>ally by hundreds of thousands of persons throughout the country. Enemy aliens, it has been learned by the food administration, have refused deliberately to obey the recommendation to conserve food.
