SHELLS CUT THROUGH WIRE New Projeitlle Ha* Scissors Attach. ment?Another Releases Short _ Chains When It Explodes. There no limit to what the new shells can do. One'of the latest shells has a sort of scissors attach fient which, when released by the ex loslon, will cut through the strongest iwlre entanglements. Another re leases a Dumber of short chains when Jt explodes. These chains are sure to "wreck anything they touch, Bays Popu Science Monthly. The scissors shell has an opening In pie casing through which the cutting jarms project. They are slightly re jeessed In order to avoid wind resis tance. The oxms are attached near the-nose of the projectile. They are pjounted on steel studs la such a man ner that they can rock and expand In brder to throw the free end? outward at the base of the shell. -j The fuse to made In the ordinary ?ray, and behln4 It Is a chamber for the exploslve charge. The projectile Is pred Just as any shell Is fired. The explosion release* the cutting arms and they cut through any object with' (devastating force. The chain shell Is considered slml 1 arly, except that the short chains are (wound around thte galne and sepa rated by disks which keep them In place until the projectile Is emptied. Sometimes the chains are weighed heavily at the eniJjB. When the ex plosion takes place the chains fly out fearful force, and in addition to their high-speed- forward movement they rotate rapidly. Needless to say, (where they hit something, there is nothing left. FELICS FROM FLINT RIDGE jColleetfon of Arrowpolnta and Spear heads Donated by Ohio Man to Gonzaga University. ?

At a mpvlng picture performance, flays the Boston Post, there was shown 'The Battle of Arras"'and the retreat of the Germans. One view showed some . English soldiers marching through a street In France. In the film the soldiers stopped In front of the camera a few seconds, when sud denly an American soldier Jumped to nls feet and yelled at tfce top of his TofCte, "Give- 'em thunder, Johnnie, old top! Give 'em thunder!** The audi ence almost went wild in Its applause; but. the soldier, realising what "he hiwl done, blushed and started for an exit, when a young-woman usher told him not to mlnd;-but stay and see the show. He later explained that the man In the picture was Johnnie Clark, his cousin. She Wished Good Service.

Christmas Is Still a Religious Holiday Christmas holds a unique place aa a yearly celebration. The obset^ance ot other holidays has changed, but Christmas has yielded none of Its .ori ginal sacredness. It Is now, as at firJb essentially a religious day. Its reality voices a song of fraternity people grow at -till* season more generous, more Indulgent, more human. It Is evangelistic for the destruction of malice and 111-wlll?differences be- j iween one and another are forgotten.
