CRONJE IN DEATHTRAP.
Hidden In Bed of Modder River-H His
Force Cut In Two Di-
visions.

PAARDEBERG DRIFT, Orange Free
State Feb 23.-General Cronje's mag
nifcent night march from Magersfon-
tein now appears likely to end in disas-
ter. The main body of the Beers is en-
closed in a terrible death trap. The
enemy are hiding in the bed of the Mod
der, commanded by the British artillery
and enclosed, on the east and west, by
the British infantry. Sunday witnessed
a gallant stand ON the part of the re-
treating foe Tired, harrassed, they
still maintained a bold front. 1t is
somewhat difficult to explain the Sun
day action, i'll which all the British
force was engaged, in which General
Cronje, under difficult conditions, man
aged to hold his own. On Saturday
night the British mounted infantry
came into touch with Cronje's rear
guard, driving them back upon the main
body. On Sunday morning the action
was renewed, but the Beers, who had
entrenched the river during the night,
prevented a further advance of the
mounted infantry in this direction.
Meanwhile the Highland brigade, con-
sisting of the Seaforths, the Black
Watch and the Argylls, advanced from
the south bank, and the Essex, Welsh
and Yorkshires formeda long line on the

AN ARMISTICE
REFUSED GRONJE.
Refused to Surrender, and Said He
Would Fight to the
Death.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The Daily News
had dispatch from Modder river, which
contained the following:
"The Boer forces under General
Cronje are estimated at 5000 men. He
asked an armistice Of "a hours, which
was refused. Later he sent a messenger
to say that he would surrender
'.The British general sent reply, tell
ing him to come into camp. Cronje re-
fused, saying there had been a misun-
derstanding and that he would fight to
the death.
1.-The bombardment was reopened and
our lyddite shells set fire to the Boer
wagons. We continued Smelling the
lager through the night and in the
morning we resumed with Maxims and
rifles, principally from the north side.
''On Sunday there was much waste of
life in attacking and the same result
will be achieved without it. During
Monday night the Beers made an at
tempt to break through our lines, but
they were captured and their leader
was killed. -Four We're carrying letters.
1t is believed that there was one other,
who got through.
"Other prisoners say that General
Cronje marched from Magersfontein
here without outspanning, a distance of
33 miles Had he succeeded in escap-
ing, it would have been one of the finest
performances in the annals of war. The
Canadians made q gallant charge at the
lager, but We're driven back with loss.

An Old Roman Legend That Treats
of the Topaz.
The topaz is called the stone of graf
itude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside it on certain
days, hearing and putting to rights the
grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres.
ence of Caesar was obtained.
One day great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils. and Theodosius gave or.
ders that no one should molest the
wish. The snake bent her crest lowly
in homage and straightaway told the
following tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate
way tower. and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood strange
beast covered with sharp needles had
invaded her home. killed the nestlings
and now held possession of the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her jus
tice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
cupine to be slain and the mother to be
restored to her desolate nest Night

SCIENCE OF DREAMS.
Results OF Series of Experiments
by n German Professors.

hCbuAtS OF SGEACA Oh ExVeEAmGmWo
by n German Professors.
Sleep is not ''the brother Of DEATH"
as the poets have said from Homer
to Shelley; but, on the contrary, sleep
Is the brother of life." So Professor
Baschide asserts, who in an article
in the Uaturwissenschaftlich Runds.
chau, gives an account of his expert
ments upon SO dreamers." His sub
| jects were of various ages, from year
to so years.
In some cases his observations were
| continued during the whole night and
in others for great part of the night.
He watched and recorded every
change of physiognomy. every move
ment of the limbs and every speech or
sound uttered by the unconscious
| dreamers. The depth of the sleep was
also carefully measured, while from
time to time the dreamers were awak
ened, but without their own percep-
ton that the awakening was inten-
| tional
The professor obtained, as he writes
at length, the following results ~
| We dream throughout the whole of our
sleep. even in that deepest sleep which
| we imagine to be "dreamless." (2)
There is an intimate connection be
tween the depth of our sleep and the
| character of our dreams. The deeper
the sleep the further back travels the
retrospect into the past experiences of
life and also the more remote are the
contents of the dream from reality. In
light sleep. on the contrary, the sub
ject of the dream relates to the expe-
riences and excitements of the day
and has character Of probability (3l
In a comatose sleep the professor
thinks there may perhaps be no dream
