We know of no higher trial to the
nerves than to ride alone toward some
kopje which may possibly be held by
the enemy, yet such is the daily and
hourly task of scores of our young

for although MLuser bullet can be
intensely disagreeable at 1000 yards,
a single mounted man can usually APP
proach to within half that dis
tance without much risk. But as
you near the hill you cannot help
feeling that, likely enough, sharp eyes
are carefully Watching your approach
and that their owners are only wait
ing until they can be reasonably GER
tain of scoring a good hit--you being
the target. Nearer and nearer you
draw, either to find that your anxiety
had been groundless aud that the
kopie is not held-or to be suddenly
greeted with cloud of dust and small

all round-let us hope without harm

The Balloon in War.

The position that balloon must oc.
Jupy to insure the complete safety of
its staff has been quite accurately de-
termined by experiments. 1t is evil
dent that there are two factors-eleva.
tion and distance. In round numbers
it may be said that balloon Is abso.
lutely safe at distance of four miles
aud at a height of 1000 feet. With
every mile that the balloon is brought
nearer to the enemy's batteries it is
necessary to materially increase the
height of the balloon. English artil.
lerists fired without effect twelve
rounds OF shrapnel at balloon dis
tant about 5000 yards and at height
constantly varying from 1900 to 1900
feet. Under wind conditions favor
BILE to the gun, it required sixteen
rounds of shrapnel to hit a balloon
distant $500 yards and at an elevation
of 100 feet. The Germans practised
with shrapnel at Cummensdorf on two
balloons distant three miles; the first,
at an elevation of 800 feet, fell pierced
in some twenty-hv places after ten
shots, but the second balloon, at an
elevation of 500 feet was disabled
only after twenty discharges. French
experiments at Poitiers prove that
neither artillery nor mitralleuse fire
can affect balloon at a moderate ee-
vation and distant more than $500
metres (three aud one-third miles,.
Even at distances of one or two miles
it requires considerable time and
effort to get the range Of balloon,
which should be frequently raised and
lowered and changed from place to

From the study OF clouds Professor
F. H. Bigelow, of the United States
Weather Bureau, concludes tat the
ordinary cyclones which traverse our
country from west to east are not
more than two or three miles in
depth, although their diameter is
many hundreds of miles. In other
words, their motion does not affect
the upper regions of the atmosphere.
In the case OF hurricanes Professor
Bigelow finds that the depth is greater,
amounting to as much as five or six
miles. But the higher currents blow
directly across the cyclonic and anti
cyconic areas which produce storms
and fair weather at the surface of the
earth. Some of Professor Bigelow's
conclusions upset former ideas con-
cerning the circulation of the atmos-
phere.

Professor Holsti, of Helsingfors Uni
versity, Finland, has been gathering
statistics of tuberculosis for eight
years. The belief used to be that this
disease exhibited itself most fatally
between the ages of fifteen and thirty
years. The figures show, however,
that the mortality rate IS much the
greater in infancy, during tho first two
years of life. It is then 2.5 per cent. /;
from that age it rapidly falls till at
fifteen it hardly exists; and it then
gradually rises again. Males are more
susceptible than females. The fact
that the disease is several times more
fatal during the first two years of life,
or the time when children are fed ex'
clusively on mllk is taken to suggest
that che cows milk may be the chief
source of infection. The history of
Japan, which is a cowless country,
favors this view in measure.

DIR. Grassi, an Austrian physiol-

contains a "name centre" cell, the Of
fee of which is to retain names. He
mentions curious confirmation of
his theory. The guard of au Austrian
train was shot in a quarrel, and when
he became conscious was entirely un-
able TO remember the names of per-
sons or things. The surgeon probed
for the bullet, and found it at the
exact spot on the brains surface
which DIR. Grassi identifies with the
name cell. When the pressure on the
brain had been relieved the patient
remembered names rs we'll as he had
