The war has developed what might be termed an "artillery ear' especiall among the soldiers In this branch of the service, which enables them to judge accurate ly what kind of a shell is being fired at them, and whether or not it is aimed at their battery or at some other spot. Many lives have been saved by this gradually developed oral alertness. The artillerist, explains an officer, who has been in the field for months, is able almost instinctively to teil whether a shell is headed for his bat tery or not. The men have learned to pay not the slightest attention to a shot that gives off the peculiar sound Indicating that it is aimed at some other battery or position. Because of the confusing noise of the artillerist's own battery, the squad tending it usually is divided into two groups, one of which listens for the shells of the opponents, and gives the warning to dive for the shelters back of the guns. • , SWINDLER GETS YEAR New York, June 29.—David Essac son, head of the Kalas Manufacturing Company, of this city, and Boston, was sentenced to-day to serve a year and a day in the Federal prison of Atlanta and to pay a fine of S2OO for using the mails to defraud.
