fort. The head of Lord Roberts COL
umns has thus advanced thirty-two
miles from Karee Siding in two days,
or fifty-three miles north of Bloemfon-

British work was hard marching, the
Beers retiring out of the reach of the
British shells. The correspondents
supplement Lord Roberts plain state
ments with few details.
As General Hutton, with the First
mounted infantry brigade drew near
Brandfort he saw a khaki-clad body
Of troops ahead of him. He was sur.
prised, but thought they must be the
British. Soon, however, they opened
fire upon the British, who replied heav.
lily. They were the Irish-American
brigade from Lourenzo Marquee, and ii
is reported that they lost severely.
The Boer flag was flying over Brand.
fort as the British entered the town.
Lord Kitchner arrived at Brandfort at
noon and Lord Roberts at dusk. Gen
eral French's cavalry are sweeping the
country northward.

RAIL AND TIE.

A New England company has turned
out an electric car capable of making
65 miles an hour.
The new trans-Siberian railway,
when complete, is to be the safest,
cheapest and most comfortable in the
world. The safety of the Manchu-
rian line will be due to the fatness
of the regions traversed, not single
tunnel being necessary between the
Ural and the Amour-that is to say,
from one end of Siberia to the other.
In the yards of the Atchison, To
peka g. Santa Fe railway, at Fort
Madison, Ia, electricity is used TO
light the signals. The ordinary switch
lamp is used with an eight-eandle
power incandescent lamp inside fitted
to a socket The current is brought
to the signal post or switch stand IN
underground conduits, and is arranged
so as to enter the lamp at the top.
The experiment is said to be highly
satisfactory, and il does away with
lamp tenders. The electric lights are
very safe from extinguishment by
wind OF the jar of passing train.

WAR NOTES.

The war in South Africa has doomed
the highland kilt as fighting dress
and II win now survive as parade
uniform only.
Cordite, the British service smoke
less powder, is composed of IS parts
of nitroglycerin, 81 parts of gun cot
ton and five parts of yaseline.
The amount of powder required to
propel a cannon projectile generally
equals about half the weight of the
missile. A projeetile measuring four
inches in diameter would require 1917
pounds of powder; five inches, rs
pounds; six inches. so pounds; eight
inches, l25 pounds; ten inches, ESQ
pounds, and ~ inches, 425 pounds.
1t is a peculiar fact that Lord
Kitchener gained his first experience
as a soldier under the French flag.
