This from the Leader, which is putting

weeks that paper, it must be confessed,
has been more than usually spicy and in.

Head Gear for the SOudan.

At the japanese Village, London,
there is now being made, by order of
the Government, an ingenious contrlv-
ance which will etfectually protect the
soldiers in the Soudan from the rays of
the burning sun and render an attack
of sunstroke almost impossible. 1t is
formed of light bamboo and paper, and
may thus be described: On each shout
der is fixed piece of bamboo. bent in
the shape OF an arch in the centre Of
each arch piece of bamboo, somewhat
resembling an umbrella stick, eighteen
inches in height, is securely fixed, and
these sticks support a light awning two
feet in length by eighteen inches in
breadth; the frame of the awning is
composed of bamboo and the covering
of paper painted green inside. The
weight will scarcely be felt, and the
wearer will enjoy all the comforts of a
large umbrella, without experiencing
the Inconvenience of holding it up, and
his hands will be left entirely free to
carry his rifle or any other article.
