officers OF the regiment to one OF the
little Festivities which are often I'M
proyised on tho march or In camp,
A certain feeling of anxiety per-
vaded the group, Lieutenant Roland,
though expected every minute, had not
yet arrived. The colonel had no rea-
son to conceal the fact that he had
given the young Office u leave OF abb
sence or Its purpose. True, dangers
and risks were everyday occurrences
in this war; people regarded them as
matters Of course and wasted few
words over them, but Roland was, as
his friend expressed It, "the darling
OF the regiment"
II ought to have refused the leave"
said Colonel Burney, anglly, II fear
the matter will end badly, He ought
to have been here long ago, had the
adventure proved successful"

A new method Of lighting tunnels Is
about to be adopted in one constructed
in Paris for an electric road. Electric
lamps will be turned on automatically
as the train enters the tunnel and cut
off automatically as it energies. The
lights are arranged on each side on u
level with the windows of the cars, so
that during daytime 1t will not be nee
essarry to turn on the light in the
cars. This mode has been devised by
a French inventor, and doubtless will
be found of great utility.
