excellence of work. One of the illus
trations shows ono of these towers
after it has reached height of 110
feet. It will be seen that the OBJ
servation posts afford every facility
for accommodating the movements of
the Boer army. The results of the
observations made by balloon or tower
will be communicated to the general
staff headquarters by means of tele-
phone and telegraph lines, to be
erected by the telegraph battalion of
the Royal Engineers. This battalion
has seen long and honorable service.
In the erection of temporary lines it
has made record for speed, stability
and efficiency. Galloping across a
plain, horsemen may be seen, i'm
paling their specially constructed
posts at regular distances. With
speed that is almost incredible, other
horsemen follow, unreeling the coils
of wire; others, with an agility and
skill hitherto confined to circuses,
pursue them, standing on saddle to
adjust wire to the insulator, drop
ping into their seat, only to repeat
the operation few yards further on.
The illustrations show that this line
is not as primitive in construction as
one might suppose.

Midway Between Pole and Equator,

A big shaft of granite will soon be
erected by the Government of the
United States at North Perry. Me-.
The purpose of the erection is to mark
the geographical spot which is mid
way between the North Pole and the
Equator. On the stone is the inscrip-
ton: "This stone marks latitude 40
degrees north. half way from the
Equator to the North Pole" The
shaft will rise near North Perry's sol-
itary church, and will be the most
curious sight in the vicinity. The
people of the village-500 in all-are
so taken by surprise that they can dis
cuss little else than the oddity of the
Governments proceeding in so dis
tinguishing their settlement. The
North Perryans are not precisely men
of science. Most of their time is de-
voted to working in lumber camps and
guiding parties of hunters, and per-
haps not one of them has ever dreamed
he has been living in town built
upon such site. On the day of the
