BURN UP SHELLS How Unexpended Ammunition Was Done Away With. Bonfire* Every Day In Balglum for a Considerable Period Following End of the War. At a certain town lit Belgium a strange bouilrc used to be lighted every ulght. During the iluy from 120 to 200 tons o f ammunition left over from the war— some lUi.OOO projectiles o f every description, that Is— were stripped of their fuses. Then they were laid with open mouths alongside shallow trenches thut had been tilled with brushwood and sprinkled with plcrute and cordite takeu frum the shells and cartridges. At 5:30 In the ufteruoou the great die was ready to be lighted, and M F. A. Talbot, an Knglisli writer, gives the following thrilling description of the way In which It was done: "Sharp to the minute shrieks a whistle, and there is a wild stampede of workers from the clearing. A motorcar has driven up unobserved, bearing the safety Inspector and his assistants. “ He makes a hurried examination of the now silent and teuautless clear ing. re-arranglng the shells here, and trimming the trails somewhere else. Meanwhile an assistant has emerged from bis shack with tour long steel rods, an armful of rags, and a bucket of paralhn. "The rugs are wrapped round the ends of the rods and saturated with the lndammable liquid, and sharp at 6:40 a mutch Is struck and four blaz ing torches distributed among the safety officials. "The motorcar commences to purr as the firebugs bend to their tusk. Each man Is responsible for the Ur lug of so many trenches. It Is an Inspiring race. The men tilt from trench to trench In succession, dipping their brands into the attractive trail In passing. •"The cordite and picrate catch Ore Instantly to run along the ditch with the speed of the prairie Ure. . . . By Ule time the lust trench haft been hred the ground Is completely envel oped in smoke and the men appear as phantoms. “The bruuds are hurriedly discard ed. and there Is a spirited sprlut across the remaining few yards to the road to catch the car. which is already on the move. Tumbling Into the vehicle pell-mell, the throttle Is opened and the top speed slipped In. there being no easing up until at least a mile has been put betweeu the es caping Urebugs and the burning ground. “ As the evening advances the Ure grows fiercer, throwing off dense clouds of varicolored smoke, lit with lurid tongues of Uaine. For miles uruund the Ure Is a spectacle, uno It occurs so punctually every aft em oon throughout the week that the rural population accepts It as a time piece.” By next morning the shells have burned themselves out and are sutU elently cooled to he handled. They are then sent away to have the driv ing bund removed, and the ground Is prepared afresh fur the tiext bon Ure. A Rude Elephant.

Chief among these paintings Is one of the so-called Sitka Madouna. The pecullur feature about these paintings, which is said to be em ployed nowhere elee in tiie world, Is Hie use of beaten sliver for halos and accessories. The metal is laid on such a manner that It Is almost impossible to sepurate It from the rest of the puintiug. and It produces a rich effect that pigments cannot attain. The pic ture o f the Madonna and Child has voluminous drapery o f tills beaten sll ver. and the fume o f Its beauty is well understood along the Pacific const.
