text_original: Among the inventions used in modern sieges and employed by the Japanese during the siege at Port Arthur, is the hyposcope, a sort of telescope so arranged with mirrors that the observer sits safely behind an embankment while the hyposcope is bent so as to give him a view over the breastwork in front. The enemy's fire may destroy the instru  ment, but the observer is out of range.
