 Mary waited until her employer had had time to read the personal" and then she said, with whitening seorn:

BRITISH PREPARATIONS.

 tions If They Arise.
ACTIVITY AT ALL THE NAVAL STATIONS.
.Thc Admiralty's 'sPrecuutionary Meas
 ures as Much n Mystery to Many High Naval officers as to the Pub Iic-A Menacing Flying Squadron is Indicated.

London, Oct. 26.-The extent of the Formation at hand, causes a strong |reiteration of the rumors of serious Eforeign complications. Ii is now said |that Rear-Admiral Lord Charles Beres- fford will command the Mediterranean and details of the activity at |the dock yards and naval stations are [coming in hct and fast. 1t is learned. khowever, that whether or not Great Britain seriously fears Russia or EFrench aggression, the naval prepara- Etions have been under consideration Nor several months, and it was the ad- Imiralty's intention to put them in fforce as soon as war was declared, '<leeming it necessary to increase the sactive strength of the navy in order to Ensure the large fleet of transports |against every possible contingency. Remains a Mystery.
 Whether later developments have Transformed the admiralty's precau-
 tionary measures into preparations for
 h naval demonstration, necessitatcd by European hostility, is the question of &khe hour, and it is as much mystery |to many high naval officers as to the
 public. The exact condition of af-
 Fairs consists of ordering the naval
 Reserves to be in readiness to reioin 4heir ships at 24 hours notice, while I'll the cruisers of the reserve class
 have been notiEed to be ready 10 sail
 3n the same time limit. These vessels
 Though at the dock yards, are never

 Supposed to be ready for immediate
 hanning. Cruisers ranging from 6,000
 fo 1000 tons are now only waiting the |&nord to embark their crews. In ad- 66ition to these preparations. work on 3the uncompleted vessels is being hur- Fried day and night.

Because the naval force 1t sea now is Bpmple to convoy the troops, and is fcapable of preventing any interference in South African waters.

HEAT in THE CAB
An Engineer Explains His Position
On a Hot Day.-Heat Almost I'm
heardhIe.

"Iwas reading in the HERALD u
said an engineer this morning, "about
q certain hot spot at the @. II. shops.
Well, jus: rio with me in the cab
some time on hot day when the dust
is coming through the air go thick that
we find it necessary to close the cab
window. 1t is not so bad up here in
the high country but down where it
gets good and hot. I'll venture to say
that there is not a warmer place where
q human lives than is the engine cab
under such circumstances.
II have seen the thermometer re-
gister $50 degrees and it was hanging
close to my head. Every time [ at
tempted to open the window the dust
would almost smother me and L would
have to close it"
Another engineer who was standing
close by and heard his remarks on the
heat in the cab spoke up and said that
$50 degrees was nothing: There are
places on the desert in summer where
tt e fireman has nothing to but look
pleasant, The intense heat OF the sun
boils the water in the engine and fur
nish the required amount OF steam
Thermometers cannot live there at all
and the people go around wrapped In
chopped ice,"
The Fl st engineer had disappeared
by this time but before he left he took
occasion to say that he told the
truth.
