Streaks of white o'er a ground of blue,
Sparkling waves of a green -gold hue,
And shadows drifting dreamily,
Glint of light on the sea -bird's wing,
The kiss of the sun on. everything,
And breezes stirrieg eleepily.
Flashes of sail on the sea's far brim,
Dashes on foa.ra on the sky's blue rira.
And lines tof smoke blown lazily.
Quiver of lids over tired eyes,
The melting together of seas and -skies
Hush! and dreams of 'eternity.

Six different kieds of Projectit" are
keowe to modem artillery officers.
They are eommon shell, shrapnel, ease,
euillser, seguteut and atar abet!. Only
the them first -named, however, are
likei3 to be used exteusively in thb
present war. COMMIall Shell is a hol-,
law, elongated, conical projectile, bar-
. g at its head a percussion luso,
vhich ignites on impact. The Inter-

other hand, is used adalaost exclusively
against. Troops advarteing in extended
order. The fuse, aS well an Um burst-
ing charge, is situated. at the base of
the shell, the whole interior of the
forward part being titled with front
COO to OA half-invh bulleste, according
to the caliber of the gun. The fuse
is a "time" one, aud can be "set" to
explode the shell at any time between
five and thirty seconds after it has
left the gun. It sbould explode, by
rights, about 20 or 3) yards in front
of the enemy. The bullets there
spread out fainvise, doing 'earful 05.e -
cation. Case is only used at close
quarters. It is merely a hollow me-
tal canister, in appearance not un-
like a small oil -drum or a large pre-
served -meat can, filled with a number
of bullets. The shell is burst and the
bullets scattered by the gun's dis-
charge.
VARIETIES OF GUNS.
Guns are either mountain, field, gar-
rison or siege. The former are,
gen-
eralle speaking, the lightestand
smallest of all; tbe latter are the
heaviest. Among the former aro
"four -pounders" -that is to say, guns
throwing a shot of four pounds'
weight. Among the latter are found
gigantic 110 -ton pieces of ordinance,
capable of throwing a steel shot,
Welghing three
quarters Of a ton, to
a distance of nearly 12 miles. Guns
are officially ela.ssified acoording to (a)
the weight of the projectile; (b) the
weight of the gun; or (e) the diameter
of the bore. Thus, the pieces of naval
oednauce which were used by the Bri-
tish at Ladysmith were spoken of as
4.7 -inch guns, meaning, of course, that
they measured 4.7 inches tioross the in-
terior of the bore at the muzzle. This
partieular t3rpa of gun, by the way,
is about the best all-roued weapon,
for it is it quick firer, a breech loader,
and can take indifferently shells
charged with either lyddite, eordite,
or ordinary black powder. Its larger
sister, the 6 -inch quidk-firing gun, is
capable, of course, of throwing a
heavier projectile, but, on the other
hand, it is infinitely more cumbersome
and cannot be fired so rapidly.
SAa'EGUARDING A POSITION.
A permanent position, once taken up,
is safeguarded by the defenders in
various ways. The Boers 'go • into
Jaeger," -whit% means, in plain Eng -
lista, that they surround themselves
with a sort of zeriba, or wall of wag-
ons. This is an excellent defense
where the attacking force is unprovid-
ed with artillery, but shell fire quick-
ly plays havoc with it, besides sending
deadly splinters of iron4and wood
among the defenders,- Trained troops
rely principally upon earthwOrks,
supplemented by a mare or less ela-
borate system of wire -entanglement.
The latter is constructed of telegraph
wire, crossed aria recrossed, and fast-
ened firmly to pointed slakes driven
info the ground at a height of about
18 inches. To the advance Of cavalry.
a properly -constructed wire entangle-
ment offers a well-nigh insuperable
barrier, while even to infantry it
proves sometimes very aonoying, es-
pecially at night -tine, and when, ae
c.onstructed ley the Spaniards in Cuba,
it is made of barbed wire, it is the
most troublesome clog to the enemy's
progress that could be .devised: Earth-
works are usually streugtheeed by
gabious-eylindrical baskets having
neither top nor bottom -and sand
bags.
- RIFLE PITS.
Nearly always, too, the defenders of
a beleaguered camp or garrison con-
struct both shelter trenches and rifle
ptts. A very shallow trench will ren -
dee a man, lying down, invisible to the
distant enemy, and a very slight
earthen parapet is sufficient to pro-
tect him from the effects of shrapnel
Slad rifle fire. Indeed, it has been as-
certained from actual experience /that
the penetration of rifle` bullets{, into
newly -excavated earth does not ex-
ceed 21 inches at 500 yards, and Ithree

carried Out. by a party of ten or a,
dozen unmounted men,. or by as few
as two or three cavalrymen. Its object
is learn, as far as massible, the
strenglb and dispoeitien of the enemy.
A reconnoiseance force is a far in* re
serious and elaborate affair. A bat-
talion, a brigade or a division- tie -
cording to the enemy's presumed
strength-manehes out in battle ar-
ray, but without any intention of giv-
ing battle. It often happens, how-
ever, that such a reconnoissance de -
vetoes, against the wish of the General

A. cavalry screen is an extendea line

fulfills the double purpose of obtain-
ing early and accurate information re-
garding the approach of an enemy,
while preventing him from surprising
the force it covers. A cavalry screen
usually consists of one or, at most,
two regiments, but where very large
armies are in movement the screens
are, ol course, proportionately denser
and more extended.
