Bentley Harriss -8till With "Old Reliable" The Mutual Life Insur- anrp I 'flmnanv OF NEW YORK SUBSCRIBE TO THE DAILY NEWS SHELLS CUT THROUGH WIRE - r New Projectile . Ha ' 8clasora Attach ment Another Releases Short Chain Whan It Explodes. There seems no limit to what the new shells can do. One of the latest ahella has a sort of scissors attach ment which, when released by the ex plosion, Will cut through the strongest wire entanglements. Another re-, leases a number of short chains when It explodes. .These chains are sure to wreck anything they touch, says Popu lar Science Monthly. The scissors shell has an opening in the casing through which the cutting arms project. They are slightly re cessed in order to avdld wind resis tance. The arms are attached near the nose of the projectile. They are mounted on steel studs in such a man ner that they can rock and expand in order to throw the free ends outward at the base of the shell. The fuse is made In the ordinary way, and behind it Is a chamber for the explosive charge. The projectile is fired Just as any shell is fired. The explosion; releases the cutting arms and they cut through any object with devastating force. The chain shell is considered siml ariy, except thaVthe short chains are wound around the gaine and ' sepa rated by disks which keep them In place until the projectile is emptied. Sometimes the chains are weighed heavily at the ends. When the ex plosion fcJces place the chains fly out with fearful force, and in addition to their high-speed forward movement tkey rotate rapidly. Needless to say, where they hit something, there la nothing left. One of The Scenes In "THE BEAUTY SHOP?' Appearing at White's Jtieatre Wednesday, Night January 2nd. Explaining the Ceremony.

New York. He left the United States for Germany on the outbreak of the war. Effect of Learning. President George IQstner of Cam pion college said the other day: "Learning, profound learning. Is the light of the world, but we continually get new proof of the harm' a little learning does. "A lady employed a schoolgirl of twelve to scrub her front steps. The schoolgirl worked well, but suddenly she stopped coming. The lady met her on the street and said: "'What's the matter, MlnnleT Why have you stopped working for met "The urchin tossed her head.- " 'I'm takin Latin now, she sniff ed, 'and I don't scrub steps no more.
