TDK ARTS or DISTHTCT10X.
Ft eiH I he 7'aff Hull OairtU.
The Uiddlo Age Italian stories of deadly
poisons tnsuufactnred bj ancient men in Rlam
cq ask 8, and of ladies destroying thoir rivals
by the peiTnme of a fan, a nosegay, or a
pair of fjlovef, have often been regarded as
mare exapRfration, the fruit of n paaio occa
sioned by a lsrge addition made to the nan
ber of known poisons in the first ago of mo
dern cheniicol discovery. lint we believe
that this incredulity is not Bhared by all tha
great chemists of our day. They say that
if chemical research, instead of
being gnidod by the wish to penetrate the
secrete of the natural world, or to liud out
remedies for disease, or even to hit upon the
philosopher's at one, ere directed solely by
the ambition to effect the subtle destruction
of hninan life, there is no reason why, if not
among ootids and fluids, at lenst among va
pors, it miht not easily fiud the means of
doing all that the Italian poisoner are said
to have done. Fortunately for the human
race, poisonioir has never been viewed with
more than very moderate approval. What
ever were the faults of the medi.oval Italian
ytafea, they certainly went near to slainping
out this particular crime. The fears and
hesitations of the Apothecary iu Ilomeo and
Juliit are among the last traces of a contest
in which thn law had the best of it.
The next fifty years will apparently be a
period during which the skill, patieuce, and
wealth which hitherto have been mainly de
Toted to developing the arts of peace will be
applied by the most civilized races of the
world to improving the arts of destruction.
As this tiroceis will be carried on not amid
the execrations but amid the anplame and
interest of mankind, it is impossible that we
should not ask ourselves what may be ex
pected from it. Its commencement, it should
be remembered, is extremely recent. The
last half century has by no means been dis
tinguished by unstained attention to this spe
cial branch of art. During more than thirty
years of it the chief European nations de
clined rather than otherwise iu knowledge of
the practice and appliances of war, and even
those who appeared to have become stronger
for military purposes owed their strength,
like 1'rusRin, to the mere multiplication of
men and guns in their standing armies. lnt
a now era began with the Crimean war, and
it is starlin g to think what has been accom
plished since the men of the nineteenth cen
tury began to give themselves up with real
earnesti.eKs, though at present doubtless with
what will soon appear to have been merely
infantine clumsiness, to the invention and
Snuprovonient of mechanical oontrivances for
wholesale slaughter. The identity of national
name in tbe men who fonjjht the battle
of Jona and in those who fought the
battle of Ciravelotte blinds us to the
fact that they belong to different military
eras: but a gulf separates war waged with
muskets and round shot from war conducted
with breech-loaders, conical bullets, mitrail
leurs, rifled cannon, and shell. We are told
by some, it is true, that the proportion of
killed 8Jul wounded to the whole force em
ployed is not greater than it used to be. The
calculation may be inspected of fallacy, as
not taking into account the peculiar composi
tion of modern armiei; but, at all events, it is
not to the point for the question is not,
Where are we ' but, What are. we coming to ?
The treasures of destruction lurkiDgin nature
and capable of being disinterred by the hand
of man would appear to be practically mfi.
nite. Looking to onebraneh al me in this
class of discoveries, we find that gunpowder,
which was supposed to be unique in its pro
perties, belongs to a whole family of sister
compounds, each more explosiblo nnd deadly
than the other. One cannot reflect
on the transformation which harmless
substances have undergone without
recalling ''Jack Gude's" lamentation that the
skin of an innocent lamb, being scribbled
ver, should undo a man. Cotton, which fur
nished their evangel to the apostles and sti
pendiary preachers of the Anti-Corn Law
Lcacue cotton, the spinning of which was to
be the principal occupation of the blessed
during tbe Manchester millenuium cotton,
being dipped in certain useful acids, turned
out to be so explosive that its very destruo
tiveness prevented its being freely employed;
bnt now, by a process described the other
day in these columns which look like a cruel
parody ou the manufacture of paper, the limi
tations on its fatal usefulness may be re
moved, although by a distinction quite im
ruateritd to the happiness of mankind it must
cow be exploded by the tap of a hammer,
whereas it once went off with a ppark. In
fact, the fnt lire of Europe would appear to be
a future of fulminates. Can anything save m
from this ? Is it possible wo may be saved
by the very thoroughness of the fa
cilities for universal homicide 'i In the
dramatic piece recommended by Mr.
Sneer to Mr. Dangle, it was intended by
the mere force of humor to make
housebreaking so ridiculous that bolts and
bars would he shortly nseless; and the late
Mr. Don gits Jerrohl seems certainly to have
opposed that by the help of a thin and acid
wit he could make war too absurd for men
ever to liht uguin. For our part, we think
that if war over becomes ridiculous it will be
through the. scientific form of humor called
the redimitud abhurdum. Suppose (what at
present tit-trim perfectly possible ) naval en
gagements were t begin with the simulta
neous foundering of half of each fleet through
the exploMun ui torpedoes movable or im
movable. Suppose the greatest part of each
of two contending armies were, on the firing
of the first shot, instantly to auoouuib to a
shower of deadly hail; or, again, suppose war
to resolve irnt-.lt into a system of perpetual
dodging into harbors or behind fortresses.
"Would thn human raoe be suddenly overcome
by a sense of the ludicrous, snd the groat
tribunal of war break up nuiid a ganeral
laugh ?
One tbinj; iu war has been pHced at last
beyond doubt. It is an industry, like any
other indnsiiy, eapable of improvement or
retrogression under precisely the same con
ditions. Mankind have outlived many illu
sions on the subject. Once they thought the
issues of ar were so tremendous that they
must be specially determined by the Deity,
and the dw'rina is written both in the Old
Testament bud on the MoaLoe Stone. liut
the apotbt-gtu which was onco held to be the
very qui m essence of cyuicisai, that the
Divine favor goes with the big battalions, is
shown by the present war to be a literal
statement of a commonplace truth. Again,
it was port of tbe popular creed about war,
and doubtless still is to a great extent, that
victories aie won by personal valor. The
Germans are supposed by some to have beaten
the French not only because they had the
better military mechanism but because they
were braver men. There can be no com
pleter anblogy than between the great
military epochs of war and the
industrial epochs marked by great exhibitions
or expositions. The exhibition of 1851
bowed that the English manufacturers were
very inferior to the French in certain
bianches of production. These miaufao
tnrers passed the next ten years with tha
stimulus of oonaoions defeat goading them,
and st tbe exhibition of 1802 they proved to
Lave distanced their French rivals, who had
suffered from the latitude of conscious su
periority. Rut yet a third trial occurred at
tbe Paris Exposition of W7, and it appeared
that the French had very nearly made up
their lost ground, and that the ouce snooess
fnl English were on the point of again being;
left behind. In a precisely similar way, vic
tory is suceeeded by inertness in wr, and
defeat produces ambitious effort. Frederick
the Great, the progressive practitioner of war
in his day, beats the French at Kos
becb. Napoleon, the great military inventor
of the next age, wins Jena against men
vho were walking in the old piths under the
old laurels. And now Moltke, applying the
accumulated results of the thought, toil, and
t-kill of the Frussian military caste, crushes
an entire army under tbe nephew of Napoleon,
which was not only sleepy after its triumphs
in the last great war, but had been specially
debilitated by tbe modern art of puff. Pray
ing for military nnccesn stands therefore on
pretty much the same footing as praying for
the discovery of a new mordant or a new in
gredient to improve thetransluceuoyof glass.
Mere muscle and mere courage are gradually
becoming abont as useful as the strength and
vigor of a railway navigator iu the operative
of a cotton factory. Hut brain, money, and
numbers, with the forces of nature to help
them, are giving each nation in turn tha
power of tearing the others to pieces.
