Great elephantine tanks waddied and plowed their way through and over obstacles, smaller tanks and gun car- riages dashed rapidly up and down, while a “baby” tank cut all manner of clownish capers to the delight of the crowd. A very fast gun carriage rushed at twenty miles an hour straight at the crowds, only to turn abruptly like a crazy iron bull. Typifying “the diving Venus” an amphibious gun carriage slid slowly into a tank full of water to emerge on the other side in nowise affected by its bath. Turning about, It ab- ruptly plunged back at full speed, climbed out, carrying half the five feet of water out of the tank with it. ee PARIS WRECK TOL, FORTY.
