A brave nrit0n.

When tho attack was made on Sidon,
during tho wnr with Syria, it became
necessary for tho British troops to ad.
vance across u long, unprotected bridge,
in tho faco of a battery of six guns,
which completely commanded tho ap.
pronch. The men were unwilling to OK
poso themselves TO certain death, when
Arthur Cumming, carefully dressed in
full uniform, stepped forward to tho
middle Of tho bridge, 1t was immedi.
atcly swept by tho fire of the battery.
When the smoke had rolled away, there
stood Cumming intact, carefully brush
ing tho dust from his boots, after which
he stood erect, fixed single glass in
his ego and looked back Mt the men.
This was too much, and they captured
that bridge and battery with whoop.

Gen. Custer, whom she describes as an
absolute fearless, tireless and brave

WAR BELT OF THE: WORLD.
All the Big Battles Of the Last Twenty
Years Have Occurred in One
s Narrow Zone.

The war with Spain brings out the
remarkable fact that all of the battles
fought in the world for the last 20
years have occurred in one fatal, mar
row zone of the earth's surface. That
zone runs just above the equator. It
is only Is degrees wide, extending
from eight degrees north to the Tropic
Of Cancer, and yet the belt does not
cross a single continent or large
group of islands which has not been
literally strewn with the dead and dy
ing. ..a~... ~: ..
Cuba is in that zone, and Spanish Of
fetal records prove that in recent
years 100000 people have been killed
by hunger or the sword in that unhap
py island. All told, the dead in the
many battles in the Philippines, at
Formosa, at Khartoum, and Santiago
number 100000.
All of the engagements in the pres
ent Spanish war, though fought on
battlefelds some 10000 miles apart,
are almost on a direct line with one
another. The battle of Santiago and
the naval victory Of Sampson and
Schley, with their accompanying loss
of life, occurred in latitude 20 north.
Cardenas, Matanzas and Havana all lie
just north of 20 degrees. Manila lies
almost under the latitude of Is north.
The fighting in central Africa in
which the British soldiers have been
engaged has all occurred within the
limits of this zone. So, too, have the
various battles in Sierra Leone, re-
suiting in the loss of 100 lives, been
within this boundary.
Many engagements have also been
fought and others may even now be
going on at present around Khartum,
degree north The loss at Khartoum
is fixed by the British government at
5000. The fighting which is still go
ing on between the British and natives
at Atbara has caused $50 deaths, and
this number is being daily increased
In Central America the bloodshed
is almost entirely confined to the mar
row strip of land crossed by this fatal
belt. A revolution is an annual affair
in Guatemala. Only a few months ago
such an uprising occurred, resulting
in the assassination of Barrios, in
which $50 lives were sacrificed. All
the fighting was done between the de-
grees of Ia and Is north.
The Japanese fought the Formosan
rebels this year under the Tropic Of
Cancer, which is % degrees north.
It will be seen that on no continent
or group Of islands where this fatal
belt crosses has there been peace,
while the battles fought within it's
boundary have been fierce and accom-
panied by much bloodshed. N. y.
