CENSORSHIP OF THE MAILS.

war correspondents letter published in to-
days Globe" contains the remarkable statement
that not only disRa tches, but mall letters WELL
are subjected to military censorship. This seems
incredible but 1t has been a singular fact that
few descriptions Of the battles in Natal sent by
mall have contained critical comments upon the
tactics Of the staff. The truth about General
Whites disastrous repulse has only been hnted
at vaguely in two or three letters. The censor
ship is operated on such drastic lines that the
secret history of the campaign may be reserved

OF the wounds are clean and neat, without being
Jagged or showing great crushing power. Brit
ism forces are using what is technically known
as Mark 2 ammunition. and It's effects are not
unlike those produced by Mauser bullet, which
is mainly employed by the Dutch allies
The evidence is clear that the war has been
conducted In the humane manner proclaimed by
The Hague Congress as indispensable to the in
terests Of civilization. and such exceptions as are
noted In the cases of knight and other wounded
men OF Lord Methuen's army only serve to prove
the rule Misuse of the white flag has been,
however, common form Of outrage and treach-
cry on the Dutch side and there are several well
authenticated cases Of improper of Red Cross
badges. with what seems fagrant instance of
inhumanity in firing upon the hospital at Lady

The Baltimore and Ohio lines west
of the Ohio River present very busy
appearance these days, as there is
scarcely ten mile stretch without
bridge or construction gang at work.
There are still few OF the SO bridges
purchased last January to be erected,
and almost all of the 10000 tons Of 85
pound rails have been laid. At several
points sidings of 100 car capacity are
being constructed. and between New
ark and Chicago Junction thousands of
men are working on extensive grade
reductions. Between Chicago Junction
and Chicago nearly score of passing
sidiAss are being constructed with
view OF double track some time in

A Bridge-Ferryboat.

In the ''transbordeur" which spans the
Seine at Rouen engineers have sought and
FOUND Il practcal nethod OF gettinS pc
destrians and vehicles across q large
stream without interfering with the use
OF the stream by shipping. The struc-
ferry boat has on either bank steel
tower rs feet high. These towers are well
anchored and bound together by heavy
cables. The latter carry n horizontal track
$50 feet above the waters surface-hlgh
enough to permit the passage of the larg-
est ships. A truck with sixty wheels runs
on the track. and from this truck hang
form or ferry boat large enough to take
on several tram cars. Power for propul-
sion is applied TO the upper car; the low
er one slips over the water without jar
or vibration. and the trip over a stream
415 feet wide occupied only minute or so.
Besides Rouen, Bizerta and Bilbao have
tried the arrangement. which they have
found thoroughly practical.
