OF A MILITARY NATURE.

A gunner's life was saved In South
Africa by the bullet lodging in pack
OF cards that be had in the pocket Of
his khaki jacket.
The average age Of the men now at
the front is, according to a military
statist, two years higher than that Of
soldiers who fought at Waterloo.
The bayonet became British weap-
on during the reign Of Charles IL. II
then resembled a lance or pike head,
and was screwed into the barrel OF the
musket when the latter had been dis
charged.
The siege Of Mafeldng (2l6 days)
comes fourth on the list Of the longest
sieges Of modern times. The three
sieges which lasted longer are Gibral-
tar, s74 days; Khartoum, s4l days, and
Sebastopol, 327 days.
Sir Charles Dixie, in a paper read
before the Statistical Society OF Lon
don. declared that the normal cost Of
British ornaments in time Of peace
is e60o00,a 900 TO the taxpayers Of the
AulNtA hAhEAAAiit X ~NfNNNfNNN " AANAa
and ei,750.000 to the self-governing
colonies.
The present establishpent Of the
military forces of New South Wales
consists Of 9.774 officers and men; that
Of Queensland of 1915; South Australia
OF 5.2i7; Victoria Of l0.2ls, and Western
Australia Of 1899, making the total mil
itary force on the Australian continent
30. Gas officers and men.
Recent experiments with torpedo
boats off Portsmouth, England. have
tended to confirm the general opinion
In naval circles that vessels OF this
class would be Of little practical use in
great naval engagement, whatever
their value in scouting and skirmish-
ng. It was found impossible 10 APP
proach fortified post nearer than two
miles without discovery, even when
speed was so reduced that no smoke
escaped unconsumed from the tunnels
Of the torpedo boats. At this range
any unarmored craft would be speedily
shot to pieces by an enemy possessing
rapidfre battery.

RELATING TO CHINA.

The demand for candles in China Is
,ery large. owing 70 the tac1 that thel
are used al all religious ceremonies
At Picking Is a wonderful obserfa'
tory close 10 the city walls. The old
est of its curiously beautiful bronze
instruments were old when kubla
Khan conquered the city in 1879.
The intoxicated gentleman made his
way .unsteadily into Wun Lungs laun-
dry and delivered a huge bundle Of
linen. with the remark: "Zhere, OF
man! Un'stan' YOU KILN mish-
naries. or ri. Come round my
houshe. Ny muzzer-law use be mish-
narv."-Baltimor American.
Marking was originally the seat Of
government of The Ming dynasty IN
China. Emperor Yungloh, however,
made Picking the capital in l4ll,
and il has retained that position ever
since. The population is estimated at
2.OOO. 600 persons. The northeast gate
OF Picking commands the clty, and II
was by this gate that the allied troops
entered Picking in 1860.
In London recently very high prices
were given for some pieces Of Nan
king Chinese pottery, the purchasers
being probably moved TO unusual
prodigality by suspicion that after
the present Chinese troubles shall
have been settled such pottery will be
more than ever difficult OF procure
ment. Three vases, each ten inches
high. brought S1,155, and a pair Of
long-necked bottles sold Tor si,05O.
A late issue of London Punch con-
tanned a cartoon with a sting Of truth
in Il that will be felt in Europe and
appreciated in Japan. The powers,
perpleNed, are huddled in a corner,
wondering what ought 20 be done
against the colossal dragon Of China
appearing over the brow Of hill.
They appeal 10 little Japan for help.
Japan replies: Delighted 20 join you,
gentlemen. but permit me 20 remark
that If some Of you hadn't interfercd
when I had him down il would have
saved all this trouble
