It notes brutal practices in ancient sieges and naval prisons, contrasts with reform under modern international law, and cites examples from the English prison ships, Napoleonic era hulks, Civil War escapes, and Spanish-American War camps, culminating in humane standards under the Hague rules that allow limited work but prohibit excessive labor.

Prospecting by Wireless Through Diamond Drill Discovery
The article explains how diamond drills revolutionized mineral prospecting by revealing ore presence before costly shafting. It covers drill construction, diamond types, operation by steam or electricity, core sampling, depth measurement, and how multiple boreholes map ore bodies and vein widths for vertical and horizontal exploration.
Diamond Drill and Wireless Rays Promise Hidden Mineral Finds
An era of faster prospecting may unfold as mining engineers explore new methods to locate ore and water deposits. Diamond drilling, driven by steam powered hammers, and wireless electric rays could reveal hidden veins, guiding careful excavation while reducing costly drilling.
