Beers Strengthening Their Position
And it Will Take a Powerful Force
to Dislodge Them--RespOnse to the
Ca For Volunteers.

London, Dec. 21.-4:45 a. m.-The grav-
ity of the military situation is again be-
coming accentuated in the public mind
owing to the complete absence of news.
Nothing has been heard from Lord Me-
thuen since Sunday, and it is feared that
his communications nave been cut. Ii
this be SO, his position is dangerous.
A correspondent of the Daily News, tel
egraphing from Modder river last Satur-
day. says:
1.-The Boer position, already formidable
on December II, has since been greatly
strengthened, extending for an area Of
II miles. 1t is entrenched according to
the most modern methods throughout it's
entire length-wire fences have been
placed before all the trenches at every
point, guns have been gotten into posi-
ton, and there is every evidence that
the Beers are well supplied with ammu-
milton. Only a powerful attacking force
can hope to make a successful attack"
The Times, in al article from the pen
of a military expert, laments the dis
persion of the British forces, quotes the
maxim Of Napoleon in concentration and
regrets that Lord Methuen did not retire
to the Orange river a week ago.
The latest dispatches received seem to
show that the British forces are standing
on the defensive at all points.
General Butler is ordering the troops
now arriving at CapetoWn to proceed to
Durham to reinforce the Natal olum
Absence of news from him has led to a
surmise hat he is trying to join General
! White by a flank movement.
The appeals for yeo1nanry and volun-
teers are being responded to with the
greatest enthusiasm in all parts of the
country. Lord Wolseley proposes that
the force being raised by the lord mayor
of London ,be called the City of London

expects the total ~yeonanry and volun-
teers to reach S, 900. Baron Gresham will

British artillery.
The Australian colonies are responding
eagerly to the imperial governments APP

1t is reported that the queen will aban-
don her proposed visit to Italy in conse-
quence of the war.
One of the results of the coal famine
in the Sheffield district, indirectly arising
out of the war, is that several important
steel firms are not able to get coal enough
for their plants a few miles distant. They
will sue the railway companies for non
delivery of coal. One of the big armol
plate works has hut down partially.

LARGEST PLANT IN THE WORLD

WASHINGTON Star: 'The largest plant
in the world,' said an eminent natural
list to the writer the other day, lis prob
ably a gigantic seaweed, known as the
'Dereocytis,' which frequently grows to
a height of more than 300 feet. Inc
stem of the plant is as strong as an or
binary rope, and large quantities of it
are dried and used as roDe by the IN
habitantS of the south Sea islands.
where the curious vegetable ropes are
found. This seaWeed usually grows to a
depth of from 200 to 800 feet. AS soon
as the plant takes root q Sneaf-Stlapeu
balloon is formed, which grows with the
stem toward the surface Of the center.
This balloon frequently has 4 diameter
Of six feet or more. It has, of course,
an upward tendency, therefore
keeps the stem growing until it floats
on the top of the water. This enormous
weed grows in such quantities that large
~meadoWlike islands are formed, which
are often so big as to impede navigation.
The ropes made from the stems OF the
plant are used for building purposes, and
the balloons when dried make very SER
Viceable vessels
