SAPPING
Origin of the Trench Work of the;
Modern Battlefield.

DITCHES DUG BY PEASANTS.
In the Micidie Aces Civilians Were
Forced to Do the Labor to Which Soldiers
Would Not Stoop?Sappers and
Winers and Their Successors.
In stories and reports of modern 1
battles the work ot the sappers is of- ,
ten mentioned. "To sap" or "sapping" i
was an early way ot approaching a j
strongly fortitied position by means of J
a ditch. It was also a very early form j
ot t re neb work. The fortified positions
against which saps were employ j

cities.
When the rnakiug ot cannon had not
progressed so far that solid ?hot could j
breach stone wails. Out when cannon
were powerful enough to keep armed |
men at bay or to destroy them, it became
necessary to make au approach
to the walled position in a way which
was difficult to attack successfully and
for which at that time no way of
cheek ma ting had been thought of by
the defenders. A narrow ditch was
dug in the direction of the wall to be
assailed. This ditch, which was wide
enough for one man to dig in. was
called a sap. the digger a sapper, and
the end of the ditch toward the enemy

per dug forward he protected himself !
and the saphead in various ways, usually
by pushing a screen ahead of him. 1
This screen was or various forms, a ;
bag of sand or a sheet of metal in- 1
clined to deflect arrows or gun shots.
When the saphead had reached the
desired point the ditch would i?e widened.
the excavated earth forming a j
parapet on eacb side. and the guns
would be brought so close to the wall
that they could not be reached by guns
mounted on the wall, for in the times
in which these conditions prevailed
"walls were high and cannon crude and
they could not be sufficiently depressed
to reach an enemy at the foot of the
wail.
Sapping was usually done by peasants
impressed or hired for that service,
because soldiers in the armies of
the middle ages were more skillful
with weapons than with tools and the
work of digging trenches was beneath '
their dignity, while it also savored of
a disinclination to close with the enemy.
even though that enemy was behind
stone walls with cannon?cannon

system by which any .fortified place j
could be approached, reached, mined j
and oreached. . v
These saps after awhile were dug in ] '
a uuniber of ways. Many forms of the i
approach trench were devised. Un- j
covered trencnes were cut forward, deflected
at rigbr angles and then cut
forward to be again deflected further
aJoug. each of these deflections from
the straight course of the trench form
ing a transverse for the protection of
the trench. Some trenches were rooted
in with timber and earth as they
were cut forward, thus forming a
bombproof covered way. Some saps
were c*it or dug in the fashion of a
tunnel, the surface of the eartb not
being disturbed at all. Double saps or i
numerous parallel saps were dug close j
up to the position to be attacked.
Mining ot castle aud city walls or i
city gates is as old as the use of gun- |
powder in war. and "undermining" of '
walls was practiced in war before the j
use of gunpowder. When sapping had !
become systematized and generally em- j
ployed in offensive operations against
fortified positions the military work of !
sapping and mining was combined and !

NAPOLEON VALUED TIME.
He Might Have to Lose Battles, but. He
Would Not Lose Minutes.
After forcing the army of Sardinia
back toward Turin, Xapoleon had
scarcely taken possession of tb< * eau
tiful Palace Sulmatori, at ChjTasro
thirty-tive miles from the Piedmon j
tese capital, when an aged marshal j
from the Sardinian side came, and in j
formed the little general of the French j
that the king was about to propose j
terms of peace.
"Terms!" shouted the young com- j
mander iiv*.hief iu startling tones, asj
he pounded the desk, "it is i who name.
terms. If you don't accept them at i
once Turin is mine tomorrow!"
Although tlie directory, sitting in far
away Paris, had reserved the right for
themselves and their trained diplomat
to ^accept or reject terms, the youug
general could not delay operations for
weeks while messengers were sent
back and forth between the camp and
the capital, so Bonaparte took it upon
himself to arrange an armistice. He
called a halt to all sparring for time
by drawing out his watch and, tapping
the dial with his forefinger, ordered
them to sign immediately, remarking:
"I may lose battles, but I will not lose
minutes." ? Condensed From "In the
Path of Napoleon.'' by James Mangan.
His Indorsement.
The late Lord Roberts once sent his
orderly to the bank to cash a check,
says Pearson's Weekly, and the clerk
wanted it indorsed.
"What for?" demanded the soldier.
"Well, it's the rule, and I can't pay
you the money until you do indorse it,"
he was told.
"Ob. all right," grumbled the messenger.
So he took back the check and bit
the end of a pen in deep meditation for
a minute or two. Then he wrote this:
?T haer tn mv thnr I hnrc? lcnnwn
& l\' OUJ W ? ??v? w ??W .. __
Lord Roberts for several years, and be
has proved himself times without number
to be as brave as a lion, but always
kind)} considerate to those who
serve uude?- him. And I have, therefore,
great pleasure in respectfully indorsing
his check."
Difficulties or pronunciation.
What is the most difficult English
place name for a foreigner to pronounce?
That is a question suggested
by a writer in the London Observer.
He plumps for Southampton as the
most difficult "port -of call" for the
Frenchman bound for England. Obviously
it cannot be spelled phonetically,
as there is no "th" in French. We all
have these little international difficulties.
But the Frenchman gets over
tlie sea to Southampton by calling it
"Sudonton."
"The Pear Is Not Ripe."
Bourrienne asked Napoleon before
the expedition started if be had really
determined to his fate in Egypt
"Yes," was the reply. "If i stay here
I shall have to upset this miserable
government and make Myself king.

SHEEP DOG TRIALS.
Australia's National Pastime, the Maltese
Cross Test.

are general competitions on tLie lines [
oi the American county and state |
fairs. There are horse races, buck j
jumping, shearing, log chopping ana
other strenuous competitions. Hut not
one ot these excites more interest than
the sheep d<>u trials, and in these tests :
Australians nave set tlie example ot j
certain of tlie most serious tasks that '
a man and ;i dog may be asked to ae
coniplish with three strange sheepsheep
that had never previously met
until they had a moment before been
turned out from three separate pens j
to be packed or gathered together by
the dog. I
It was the Australians who fir?t put
forward, and they still maintain it. the
Maltese cross test. The eight six-foot
hurdles are set in the shape of a Maltese
cross. The passages a re of a width
that will'permit only one sheep to pass
through at a time. The animals have
to be driven north and south and east
and west, all the passes being open at !
the time. The skill and patience of
the dog are here tried to the utmost,
and there can be little wonder there is
a gasp of satisfaction and a cheer of
joy when the sheep have been successfully
driven through these narrow
ways.
The Australian sheep dogs are the
smallest in use in the world, but are
quick and lively in their work. It Is
no wonder that the Australian gives
much thought for his dogs, for it goes j
without saying tb;it the work of the j
sheep station could not be accomplish-!
ed without them. In ordinary cases j
it is reckoned that one dm; can do the 1
wor& or La It a dozen men. In many
instances a dog is superior to fifty humans,
and where there are such vast j
flocks of nimble sheep, such as the j
uierinos in Australia are, it would be !
impossible to round them up so that "
they may be examined, counted and i
duly looked over without the dogs.? j

LAWS OF THE INCAS.
A Code That Was Remarkable For Its
Beneficent Simplicity.
Among the most remarkable laws of
the Incas were those concerning taxation.
The principal feature of those c
laws was that taxes were not paid in | j
money, but in work and in produce, t
whether manufactured or grown. The .
In<\n emperor3 thought it unjust to de- 1
mand that taxes should be paid in any Jc
kind of commodity that the people could
not produce by their own personal labor.
Tbe people also paid another sort of
tribute. They made clothes, shoes and
arms for the soldiers and for the poor
who could not work themselves owing
to age or infirmity. The cloth was "
made of wool from the flocks of llamas
that abounded in the mountains. On >
the plains of the seacoast, where the!

the crops of the emperor. The shoes \

aloes were most abundant, for they j
were made of the leaves of a tree
called majruey. fcaoh province furnish
ed its own produce, and no province c
bad to supply anything that did not be- '

There was a mandate that forbade ]
t>eggary and destitution; that of course, ?
l'ollowed upon due provision of their
laws. Every citizen was provided for
theoretically and practically. No man
need be idle; no man need lack land or j

If any were found doing so it was
clear proof of idleness, for the incapable
