IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Tn. British advance guard is now within
short distance OF the Zand River, beyond which
the Beers are believed to be in force The de-
struc,ion OF the railway bridges will cause the
British some delay owing to the difficulty OF get
ting up supplies. but II does not appear that the
operations Of the cavalry and mounted infantry
will he seriously impeded The Boer forces on
Lord Robertss right will apparently have to be
dslodged before a general attack north OF the
Zand River can be safely vantured on, and by
all accounts considerable caution will have to be
exercised in the operations involved The
British front Is necessarily a wide one and IL
liable to have its lateral communications inter-
ripted should any Of the units composing il
meet a serious check as II spproa ches the main
line OF the Boer resistance, therefore the sup
porting units and patrols will have TO be in
close touch with the advance to be ready to
close a break Ia rhe line through which the
Boers might be tempted TO pass behind the
British rear, Particular interest consequently
attaches to the operations 10 the eastward of
the railway line whence there should he definite

The Monkey Back Defended.

Another chapter has been added 10 the
literature Of the wheel, and it cannot fail to
be Of interest to the great pedalling fra
ternity. In paper on Respiratory Exer-
cises in the Treatment Of Diseases" DR.. II.
CAMPBELL. an eminent English physician,
explains NJ some length, and in language
less formidable than that Of many OF
his contemporaries. that the cramped or
doubled-up posture Of the scorcher is per-
mssible and even deserving of imitation.
The learned doctor tells, first, why wheel
ing is more beneficial as an exercise than
walking. and his reasons are these In
cycling the legs do not have to support the
body, and the vascular column is shortened.
Instead OF having TO eNpend large part OF
his energy in supporting and balancing his
body, ms when walking. the wheelman is
enabled 10 employ rs much as he likes Of
the strength thus economical in propellng
his machine. Even the mere act Of stand
ing, observes DR.. CAMPBELL, involves a
considerable expenditure Of energy both by
the leg and trunk muscles, " while in cycling.
If the proper sitting attitude Is maintained.
those muscles are very largely relieved He
continues:

completed for line from East Liver

relieve the G. 4 NJ branch of the

business originating in the vicinity Of
East Liverpool. Some one has started
the story that this line is being insti-

surveyed between East Liverpool and
Canton, and the possibilities are that
