One hears of the Beers cutting the
telegraph lines But it is really not a
very serious matter; they can be re-
paired again II all depends upon the
force at our command to protect the
lines how far south the Bo7rs can go.

What is very much more to the
point. however, is that Kruger is nm
self isolated, not by the crude process
of cutting wires, but by an arrange
ment very much more subtle-the cen
sorship. There is a censor at Alden ana
another at Cape Town, so that there IS
no chance of his communicating, by
cable, with his European or outside
friends, if we do not wish him to do
So. The eastern cable stretches from
Durham to Aden but by way of Della
goa Bay. OF course, this is the cable
station for the Transvaal, and land
wire following the course Of the rail
way connects Pretoria with Lourenco
MARQUEE. BY international law we
could not interfere with wires over
Portuguese territory, nor is 1t all nee
essary. The censor al Alden does ev-
erything that is necessary. Luckily
for us, every message cab!ed on that
side of the continent must pass
through that narrow neck of the bot
tie, and it is here that our stralner
comes so successfully into play.
But what about the western cable,
running from Cape Town through the
Atlantic by way of Lagos, Sierra Lee
one Cape Verde, the Canaries, and
Madeira? Here again Mr. Kruger is
stopped by the censor at Cape Town.
A few days ago a gentleman exercis-
ing these important editorial functions
was at Sierra Leone, but HI was felt
to be more an incumhrance to CONNER
cial people than a safeguard to this
country, and 60 one was appointed in
his stead at the Cape 1t is practically

King of Bavaria Found Pleasure In
 Frightening Horses to Death.
 ssAt the time the malady of Ludwig IL, the mad king of Bavaria, was at its worst, he gave orders that thirty of his finest horses should be put in the best condition possible for race" writes Prof J. H. Gore in the Ladies Home Journal. When the r. Iort came that no further improvement could be made. he had them brought into an open field where every conceivable form of noise-making device had been stationed. The horses were tied to posts and the king from an elevated stand gave the signal that started the flare of trumpets, the booming of can non, the firing of bombs and other out 1andish noises. The horses reared. plunged, struggled to get free and, fn- ally, breaking loose, started in the widest gallops from this bedlam But toward whatever corner of the field they fled they were stopped by noises just as terrifying and sent to smother quarter to be frightened again and again. When the horses became too tired to run well the king found the spectacle uninteresting and ordered the orgy to cease. By this cruel freak the royal stables lost a number of their most valuable animals"
