King of Bastion-British Landmark

The history of England has at times
crystallized round Portsmouth, as 1t Ia
apt to crystalline round great naval
and military center. For centue lol
this town was the very center OF all
military enterprise in England, and
noteworthy events seem to have
crowded themselves in this little spot
where the Kings Bastion" stands.
For the military historian no place is
so redolent of great deeds, no place so
glitters with clear and definite mem
ories. The very names OF the great
men OF action who have stood on this
spot would fill the page; the account
OF their efforts. their victories and
their failures would fill a volume. It
Is, therefore, no mere local interest
which demands the preservation of
these ancient works. but a natural in
terest. A stroke of the pen may save
them; stroke Of the pen may sweep
them away.--London Mail.

Kansas mills. A committee was APP
pointed to discuss and make a report
