armies of millions with the ease ana
celerity necessary to success*’ Are
the great armies created by the lead-
ing countries of Europe really effi-
cient instruments of war, or wou.d the
complicated machinery break down
under the stress of actual hostilities?
All these questions are occupying
the minds of German experts, but only
a war can supply a conclusive reply to
them. There is, however, a strong in-
clination among many competent
Judges to regard the countless legions
of the great powers as inefficient be-
cause it is thought that they are too
big and unwieldy to be handled with
facility, and because no human brain
can surmount the difficulties of direct-
ing their movements with precision.
Problem of Feeding Millions.
As the great army moved • forward
something like 3,000 field bakeries
would have to be constructed for use
every day, and as these are under-
ground and created by excavating
earth, extensive areas of country
would be honeycombed by these holes,
involving both damage to landowners
and farmers and danger to all pedes-
trians in those regions. Soldiers do
not live by bread alone, and the sup-
ply of other provisions for an army of
3,000,000 would strain the resources of
any commissariat department, even
the smartest, to the uttermost. The
supply of pure water, too, would pre-
sent grave and in dry weather perhaps
insuperable difficulties. There also
would be tens of thousands of horses
to tend and feed, and enormous quan-
tities of petrol would be required for
the various motor cars needed for mil.
ltary auxiliary services. The ordinary

his battles in the eighteenth century
the field of operations never extended
more than four miles from side to
side, and in the Russo-Japanese war,
when, owing to the great distance
from the respective bases, there were
never more than thre or four hundred
thousand troops simultaneously In ac-
tion, the battlefields remained limited
in extent. Will the generals of the
future be equal to the almost superhu-
man task of directing operations ex-
tending over such immense areas?
Every army must have a commander
in chief, and that generalissimo must
control the movements of all the
troops united under his orders. He
will have all the latest technical de-
vices at his disposal. Hundreds of
miles of telegraph and telephone wires
will be rapidly laid in order ttqit he
may exchange orders and communica-
tions with his auxiliary officers.
Modern Armies Too Large.
There will be motor cars and flying
machines, steerable balloons and
spherical balloons, bicycles and appar-
atus for wireless telegraphy and tele-
phony, besides other mechanical con-
trivances for signaling. Will these
suffice to surmount the purely techni-
cal difficulties involved in establishing
effective communication over such an
area, especially as they will have to

they furnish a perfect communicating

ent sources, and of working out in his
mind the profoundly complex prob-
lems connected with the movements
of such legions of human engines of

“ ‘No, that is Miss Barton,’ said the

Tones of Insects.
An investigator, given to the collec-
tion of curious data, has observed that
there are at least three different tones
emitted by insects; a low one during
flight, a higher one when the wings
are held in such manner that they do
not virbrate, and a yet higher tone
when the insect is held so that none

it is pointed out, is the “voice prop-
er’’ of the insect. In some cases it
is produced by the stigmata of the
thorax.
The Moral.
Prof. John Spencer Bassett, author
of “A Life of Andrew Jackson," is ac-
customed to illustrate his lectures at
Smith college with incidents in Amer-
ican history. On one occasion he re-
peated a well-known story in regard
to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a
moral which aroused peculiar interest.
Douglas, as a narrative runs, was
once sitting in a profound sleep in the
corridor of the capitol when Adeline
Cutts, a Washington belle, passed by.
She did not know the sleeper, but was
struck with compassion on seeing
such a splendidly intellectual face
under such conditions, and stooping
