One was their unscientiGc form, the 9TH
er that there was not enough Roadway
provided by the propelling force to give
the steering apparatus q hold on the air.
These difficulties Count Zeppelin claims
to have overcome.
The forward and backward motion is
to be controlled by four very large alu-
minimum propeller blades. Two of these
will be in front, just where the circur1
ference of the ship begins to decrease to-
ward a point. and the other two in a SIM
liar position at the rear. The steering
will be done by double rudder blades at
front and rear.
The motive power for these ~propellers
is to be furnished by two Daimler mo
tors, using benzine as fuel These are
the lightest possible engines which viii
produce the required power of II to Is
horsepower each. These engines will be
carried in two aluminium cars, hung for
ward and aft, just beneath the propel-
lers.
The cars will be 20 feet long, 5 feet
wide and 3 feet deep, shaped to an edge
and pointed fore and aft. The motors
are connected with the propellers By
strong steel rods and two shifting link
couplings, so as to have as little play
as possible.

army on all ordinary occasions. Some
times it happens that the shifting termI-
nus OF the wire is on the firing line, and
the operator sends bis messages TO the
music Of whistling bullets and bursting
shells.
Men who enlist to serve ii the Tele-
| graph battalion must spend three years
with the eoIors and as many on the re-
serve list. While IN the reserve they are
employed in the postoliice telegraph serv-
ice and are classed as efficient volunteers.
From these reserves one whale regiment.
the Middlesex Rifle volunteers, is entire
ii made up and when at its full strength
| can easily muster 1,10G men.
When the campaign opened in Egypt
in 1882, the postal and telegraph arrange
fnents of the British army were intrustea
to the Army Postal corps, which was
composed OF men from the Midalesex reg
iment and was attached to the Rifle bril-
gade.
On many occasions the British Tele-
graph battalion has proved its eficiegcy.
During the first Ashanti war, at -
hours warning. a complete force trains
ed in the. postal telegraph service was
sent out with stores, ETC., drawn from
the postofice, and was eminently sue
cessful in its work.
During the Zulu war some of the colo
NAL lines were taken e and worked by
military 1elegraphists. In 1882 the ex-
isting telegraph lines were similarly
worked up to the time Of the capture Of
Cairo.
During the Nile expedition Of 1SS4-5
the telegraph service was OF the utmost
Importance. The following facts viii
give some idea of the work done by the
telegraph section on that occasion:
a line already existed from Cairo near
ly to Korti, and this was continued for
so miles to HaIndab, the whole length Of
the wire from Cairo to Hamdab being
1,f69 miles. For more than half this dis
tance-that is to say. from Cairo up to
Wady Haifa-the line was worked by the
Egyptian telegraph department, and
along this stretch interruptions frequent
II occurred.
The rest Of the line was worked partly
by military and partly By Egyptian opeg-
ators, but was entirely under the director
of tcIegraphs. Beyond Wady Halfa.
there was but a single wire, and as an
example OF the strain thrown upon the
telegraph service it was stated that on
one night fTso00 words were by this ore
wire signaied from korti. No fewer
than 1855 miles Of new line were laid
down, and 40 miles of the existing line
were renewed.
In South Africa ii is understood that
the Marconi system of wireless telegras
ply will receive a thorough test, butSthiS
viii not impair the usefulness Of the
present Telegraph battalion IL is nor
probable that the Mareoni system can b
worked successfully under all conditions.
principally because experienced operators
are lacking, while the ordinary held serv-
Ice as DIT present constituted viii be al

BY
Annette Crawford.

American women, most of them resi-
dents of England, are sending to South
Africa a hospital ship to be used in
bringing home wounded British soldiers.
The shin itself has been lent to the Brit
ish goyernpent by an American, who
pays all the running expenses Of the ship,
even to buying the coal and furnishing
the crew.
Among the London ladies' committee
which has charge Of the affair are many
women of title and prominence. Some
of them bear the names OF the Oldest and
proudest families in England, but they
are all daughters Of America, and the
movement is being made wholly an Amer
lean one.
The originator Of the plan ~as Mrs.
Blow, q wealthy American woman who
lives In London. She has been ably sec
onded by Lady Randolph Churchill, who
is still an American at heart in spite Of
her long residence in London. Among
the other members of the committee are
Mrs. Bradley Martin, the Duchess of
Marlborough, Mrs. Arthur Paget, the
Countess OF Essex, Lady William Beres-
ford and Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain.
These ladies have undertaken to fur
nish the supplies for the hospital ship
from nurses TO bandages. Already seV-
eral American women, including Mrs.
WhitelaW Reid, have sent trained nurses
to serve on the hospital ship. Contribu-
lions from American women in all parts
of the world are being received. Ameri-
can actresses and singers are giving bene-
fit performances and concerts in aid OF
the fund, and London watches the total
amount roll up with wide open eyes.
The ship which has been donated for
this good work is the steamer Maine. It
is owned by Mr.. Bernard N. Baker, a
generous citizen of Baltimore. The Maine
belongs to the feet of % vessels owned
by the Atlantic Transport line, which
operates between New York, Philadel-
