LONDON. December 24.-Lord
Kitchencr's dispatches, breathing a
confidence hardly justified by their
contents, are almost the only available
news from the seat Of hostilities in
South Africa, but kilograms from Cape
Town depict the situation in anything
but roseate hues.
Without believing the assertion of
the Tran5vaal agency in Brussels, that
six thousand Beers have invaded Cape
Colony, it is quite evident that the in
vasion was a serious and well planned
affair. In connection with this, a cor
respondent sends an extremely inter-
esting letter, dated Bethulie, December
LIST, describing Gen. De Wet and his
doings.
A Great General.
"De Wet has never been taken ser
iously enough" says the correspondent.
at is of little use to pursue him, as
he fights a real guard action and
gains twenty miles while he is being
fought.
HE is a born military genius whose
wonderful powers have kept up this
phex omenal resistance.
'Dnce he fails the whole thing could
be crushed in a fortnight. He has ev-
cry single commando under his super
vision. All his patrols and columns
march and counter-march on his or
der. The forces under his command
have been reduced by his strength of
will to a properly organized army,
moving 1T his word. The sooner the
British rid themselves of the idea that
De Vets forces are a mere rabble
wandering aimlessly, the sooner they
will grasp the need of the determined
effort which is necessary to capture
him"
A Bridge Destroyed.
The Cape Colony Cabinet had a sit
ting yesterday Sunday. 1t appears
that the Beers had destroyed a railway
bridge ninety feet long, about twelve
miles south of De Aaar, and that no
Cape mails have arrived at BloemfOn-
tein for three days.
Further anxiety has been caused in
Cape Town by the discovery that, dur
ing the last two months, public bodies
in out of the way places have requisi-
toned supplies of dynamite. The col
onial government is now ~endeavoring
to recover possession of these exp!o-
sives and is removing all stores of
arms and ammunition from suspected
depots.
The Dutch EIntcd. .
Other advices from Cape Town rep
resent the Dutch element in Cape Col
ony as greatly elated over the south
ward progress of the Beers, and as
boasting that the whole district of Vic
toria West will join the raiders. 1t IS
suspected in Cape Town that the force
travelling from Zoutpan's Drift is not
a body of Beers, but of Colonials hast
ening to join the invaders.
The Pietermaritzburg correspondent
of the Daily Mail says:
THE Beers are active between Jo-
hannesburg and Pretoria. exchanging
shots with the British outposts; and
it is reported that parties Of Beers are
lowering around Johannesburg."

Ant Shareholders.

Many Of the large red ants are slave
holders, and, oddly enough, their slaves
are invariably black, much as is the
case with the human race. When
slaves are desired by colony of ants,
n regular army OF invasion is formed,
and skirmisherS and scouts are sent on
ahead to discover nest Of black ants.
This having been found, the warrior
ants-insects quite different from the
ordinary workers, with powerful jaws
set out to invade their neighbours ter
ritory and carry away the eggs and
pupe TO their own nests. A fierce bat
tie ensues, but the invading ants are
always victorious.
On returning to their own colony the
young Of their defeated foe are taken
into their nests and carefully treated
until they arrive at maturity, when
they become the willing bondsmen Of
the conquerors of their parents, doing
all the hardest work of the community,
even to the length of feeding their cap
tors. The latter, however, Is not en-
tirely a needless humiliation to subject
them to, as some species of slavehOld-
ing ants are incapable of feeding them
selves and would die of starvation In
the midst of plenty were 1t not for
their slaves.-Kansas City 1ndepend-

The admiral commanding the British
Mediterranean squadron some 20 years
ago. writes a correspondent, gave a
dinner to the captains of the fleet at
Malta. BY 6:45 most Of the captains
had reached the flagship, been received
on the deck by the admiral and usher
ed below. Next the Duke of Edin-
burgh arrived The admiral received
him. and, keeping him in conversation,
continued to pace the deck. All subse-
quent arrivals were duly ushered be-
low to the saloon, but still the admiral
kept the duke on deck. At last 1t oc-
CURED to the duke that the dinner hour
had been passed, and he ventured to
inquire If his host was waiting for
anybody.
"Yes," replied the admiral, 81 am
waiting for the captain of the -"
Instantly the duke took the hint, call
ed for boat and made posthaste for
his own ship. He alone among the
CAPTAINS Of the fleet had turned up In
multi, forgetting or not knowing, that
the dinner was official. On his return
to the flagship in the quickest time on
record and in full uniform the gallant
but inhexible admiral was still pacing
the deck, and deprecating his royal
highness' profuse apologies conducted
him to dinner. l believe, concludes my
correspondent, the admiral was Sir
Michael Culme Seymour.-M. A. p.

The BiSness of the Ocean.


Some people gratefully reflect that
we owe the clouds and the tides and
the winds to the Mother and Maker
of men," but these are less numerous
than the folks who "would like 10
know" what we should do for soles
and cod and mackerel If there were no
ocean. Yet think only how big II Is!
If you divide the whole globes area
into II parts, the sea covers eight OF
those, with an average depth of 1000
fathoms. Try to imagine 1900 feet OK
solid, perpendicular sea water lying
upon eight-elevenths of the entro
planetl
patient mathematician has been at
the pains To inform us that this bulk
of brine would weigh one and a half
million million millions of tons. For
the most part this vast body of water
thus set down in figures as 100000,
OO.OOO,0 100000 tons-is Of the same
composition everywhere, and as every
body knows, carries great quantities Of
ocean salt.
But that same salt is itself singularly
complex. Not only are there In 1t
chlorldes and sulphates Of sodium,
potash, magnesium and lime, which
are familiar to many, but it contains
also silica, boron, bromide, iodine, flu
oric acid and the oxides Of nickel, CO.
bait, manganese, zinc, silver, lead, cop
per. aluminium, barium and stron-
tium. Arsenic and gold are also found
in 1t, along with those rare metals lithi-
UNI, rubidium and c9sium.-LondoD
