value Of artillery, OF course, depends very
largely upon the nature of the ground
over which It Is used, and artillery Is
likely TO play a far larger part In
the present Transyaal war than was
the case In 1881. Newcastle lies at the
foot of the Quathlamba or Drakensberg
mountains. which lie between Natal and
the Orange Free State. On crossing the
Ingogo river the roads become sleeper
and sleeper, and the train has to take a
zigzag course in order to be able to
ascend at all. Between Charlestown and
Laings Mex is a tunnel. stretching out
10 length of 2.2l3 feet. Until 1895
Charlestown was the terminus OF the
railway. but now, of course, the connec-
ton extends to Johannesburg. The Boer
