Earl of Dundonald`Sn'g"ilested Pianv
For Defence of British
Soil.
Ever since the beginning of the war
one has heard from time to time of
the famous plan of. the ,firstKarl, of
Dundonald for the destruction of any
army against which .England:: might
be fighting.
Lord Dundonald, invented it When
he was -Admiral Lord Cochrane and
he guaranteed with 'its aid to over-
come any enemy against whom he was
sent. It• is now a full hundred years
ago since this famous invention was
'put in ,a pigeon -hole, and during all
that' time it has remained one 6f the
secret documents of the State.; It was
rejected in the fiist place as being
outside civilized warfare. ' Twice
Government committees are said to
have 'examined the plan during the
first half of the nineteenth century,
only to put it'back into •its pigeon-
hole -again as- being too cruel.
At the beginning of this war Lord
Dundonald's famous plan was talked
.of again. Nothing, however, •was
heard as to what it was until 'recent-
ly, when Prof. V. B. Lewes ,in a lec-
ture to the Society of Arts gave
A Description Of It,
which' shows that it was nothing
more or less than the German plan of
using asphyxiating gases. Dundon-
ald's prescription was:
"Fires fed with tar and pitch to
give dense columns of smoke which
would act as a screen for the attack;
sulphur burned on the fires to gener-
ate sulphur dioxide gas, which would
produce asphyxiating fumes and 'aid
the attack." •
The professor added that the idea
was revived in the early stages of the
present war, but the Government re-
fused to consider it.
Talking after the lecture Prof.
Lewes said that the details of the
plan had never been made public with
the exception of a reference to them
in the memoirs of a Cabinet Minister
published soon after the war began.
"The inhalation of a very small pro-
portion of this gas," says the profes-
sor, causes coughing and spitting of
blood; and four volumes in ten thous-
and of air render it unbreathable.
"If the sufferer escapes from the
zone within a reasonable period the
effects of this gas pass off, but the
German method is more inhuman, as
they employ chlorine gas, which, if it
does not kill the men, leaves them in
most frightful agony and
Injures the Lungs for Life.
"Dundonald merely proposed to use
sulphur fumes to make the enemy.
holt; the Germans use their gases to
asphyxiate."
The professoil does not advocate
retaliation with gas, as the whale es -
sense of the gas attack is surprise.
The chief gases the Germans are us-
ing are chlorine, bromine, nitrogen,
tetroxide and sulphur dioxide. All
these can be neutralized quite sim-
ply—respirators and a bucket of
washing soda solution in the trenches
to dip them in are a simple and ef-
ficacious remedy.
According to Prof. Lewes these gas
attacks do not worry the British
troops so much now. as they ate pre-
pared :for them, The respirators and
helmets have proved perfectly satis-
factory, and there are many pro-
blems connected with the density of
the gases in relation with the air as
well as wind currents which make
the successful use of poisonous vap-
ors by no means a simple problem,
Seemed Promising.
Jinn had looked in at the country
livery stable in search of a job. He
seemed promising, and was set to
work greasing the axles of a car-
riage. In a remarkably short space of
time he reported the task finished,
"Look here," said the new boss, "d'ye
mean to say you've greased all four
of them wheels already?" "Weel,"
rejoined the new hand, "A've greased
the two front yens." "And why
haven't you greased the two hind
ones?" "Weel," exclaimed Jim, calm-
ly, "so long as the two front yens

cious,
,Thirtyeyeerp ago, when I was a
'boy, writes a friend. of The Youth's
+ Companion, " the, neighborhood was
stirred by the doings, of a "mad" fox.
He ranged in• the' Briesacher woods;
and never was heard of anywhere
else. `1 never, saw. the mad- fox my-
self, but often heard his, high, .queru-
lous bark In the middle of. the night.
A Much -used path led through the
'Briesacher woods and on to the vil-
lage. The mad fox took to following
people' as they traversed this path,
trotting along behind them, stopping
when `the' 'stopped,; from the time
they, entered .the forest until they
emerged on the farther side. As time
passed,' the animal 'grew bolder, and
pattered along within a few yards of a
pedestrian's heels on dark nights, or
perhaps took up a position in the
path, which he would hold until the
traveller approached very closely,
when he would spring a few paces to
one side, snarling.
Some people said the fox had ra-
bies, but the more sensible ones point-
ed out that a rabid animal never lived
more than a week or so, while this
stamp had been keeping up his pranks
for several months. Louis Briesacher,
whose father owned the woods, had
more occasion than anyone else to
pass through them; and, according to
Louis, the mad fox took an especial
dislike to him. It followed him so'
closely, and with such evidence of vi-
cious intent, that Louis carried a club
every time ho went to town. At last
he bought a revolver, with the deter-
mination of making an end of his an-
noying escort.
Louis told the story of the encoun-
ter afterward. He was returning
home from town about eleven o'clock.
No sooner was he in the woods than
the fox came after him. Louis paid
little attention until it got so close
that it actually snapped at his Heels.
He then turned and fired a shot at it,
but the night was dark, and he miss-
ed, The fox retreated, but in five
minutes was back again, snapping
and snarling more viciously than ever,
Aiming as best he could at a mark
that was never still, and could be
heard rather than seen, Lgois dis-
charged the remaining five shots from
his revolver. All the shots missed;
the fox simply jumped from side to
side with the flash of the revolver.
When the last spurt of flame died
away, the determined little beast
sprang straight at Louis, and fasten-
ed Its teeth in his trouser's leg. The
young man kicked fiercely; but, kick-
ed loose from one hold, the enraged
anima] came right back, and bit Itis
legs severely. Finally it caught his
left arm, and held on like a bulldog.
Louis brought the handle of his revol-
ver down with full force on the fox's
head, and it fell stunned. Louis de-
clared that he finished his antagonist
then and there, and left it lying dead
in the path.
'Che next day Louis showed 120 his
bites and scratches in proof of his
story. IIis trousers were badly torn,
and seine of the teeth wounds in the
flesh were as deep and ragged as if
a wolf had made them. However•,
when we went to the scene of the bat-
tle, the lead fox was gone. Ile had
recovered and made off, but was ne-
ver heard oe seen again.

of the virtue of tidiness. Appearing

SOLDIERS TELL Or ITIS KIND-
• NESS AND COURAGE,
Wept When Ile Heard of the Death
of Lieutenant Who Excelled
Him in Aim:
Before _the war the King' of Italy's.
only claim to popularity consisted in
his domestic virtues. Everybody ad-
mitted that he was a modest husband
and father, a very good man and es-
sentially'a constitutional sovereign.
But his subjects thought his inclina-
tions were peaceful and that he pre-
ferred numismatics to soldiering.
When the war came the King imme-
diately assumed supreme command of
the land and sea forces,: and rashod to
the front.,Now everybody is con-
vinced thathe King is as much a sol-
dier as his father and grandfather.
The way has entirely changed the
mistaken opinion -about the King.
Soldiers write to their families des-
cribing what the King is doing, what
he says to them, and how he exposes
his life just as they do. The letters
have firmly established the King's
popularity, The King at the front
spends his time among the soldiers`
and often shares his meals with them:
His human Side.
"I was going to one of the advanced
posts up a steep hill," writes a soldier
to his family, "carrying the General's
raincoat over my arm. The General
had ordered me to bring his coat up
in case it looked like rain, and as soon
as I saw the clouds gathering I'obey-'
ed his orders. I had two miles to go,
and had hardly covered half the dis-
tance when it began to pour. Of
course I ran, 'as I had no coat myself,
and besides I knew the general was
waiting for me. Half way up the hill
a grey automobile came rushing down.
I halted and saluted, as I saw two
officers inside. One of them put out
his hand and waved to ine. Then the
automobile stopped suddenly and one
of the officers jumped out and'ran to-
ward me.
"'You are soaked to the skin,' he
said, 'and you are carrying a rain-
coat on your arm instead of wearing
it, Why on earth don't you put it
on?' 'It is not my coat, your Majes-
ty,' I stammered, recognizing the
King. 'It belongs to General X. and
I ata taking it up to him.' 'Put it on,
put it on yourself,' the King said,
'and tell the general I ordered you•
Of course yon were right, as discipline
is discipline, but then there are excep-
tions, and this is one.'
"The Ring helped me on with the
coat, gave me a couple of cigars, pat-
ter me on the shoulder, and shook
hands with me. Before he started he
waited to make sure that I would not
take the coat off. When I explained
to the general why I wore his coat, he
said he expected me to wear it with-
out saying anything to him, and add-
ed, 'Remember, my boy, that there is.
no other King in the world who would
have stopped his automobile and gone
to the trouble of preventing a soldier
from getting wet' I could not help
shouting, 'Long live the King!' as I
saluted the
Artillerygeneral.Sp"
ecialist.
The Ring is an artillery specialist,
and often personally directs the fire
of a battery or a section. Ile spent
an entire day with a sub -lieutenant in
command of a section of mountain
artillery in a dominating position.
Both the officer and tate gunners ad-
mired the way in which the King
regulated the fire and his unerring
aim, but his repeated efforts to de-
molish a him house in the distance
from behind which the Austrians were
firing, proved useless. "Try your-
self," the King said to the lieutenant.
"If you succeed you will have accom-
plished something wonderful," The
lieutenant tried and succeeded. The
admiration of the King was unbound-
ed. IIe shook hands with the officer,
congratulated hien warmly, made the
gunners cheer him, and 'finally he said
he was going, since the lieutenant was
a much better gunner than he was.
A couple of hours later :the King
was recounting to a general the
lieutenant's admirable firing. The
general's face clouded, tears came to
his .eyes, a•nd lie infarmed the King
that a few minutes after he had left
the section an Austrian shell explod-
ed over the guns killing' the officer
and three gunners. .The King hitt his
face in his hands and wept,

Dogs Know German Shells.
A letter ,:from Rheims, France,
says: "Dogs distinguish the whistle
of German shells perfectly. As soon
as they hear them, even when our
01311 are whistling at the same time
and people clo nob know which is
which, the dogs show' their terror in
one way or another. They moan, run
for shelter, go down to the cellar, and
come up, again if their masters have
not followed them. A cat, which is
let down in a basket in case of dan-
ger, gets into it itself as soon as the
whistle of an enemy's shell is heard,
