African republic. During the campaign
of 1881, when her husband inflicted the
defeat at Majuba Hill upon Sir George
Colley, she was by his side and it is
claimed that 1t was by her advice that
the Beers scaled the mountain height
and won the victory which gave them
independence. In the numerous Kaffir
wars she was present in camp with her
husband, sharing all the dangers and
privations of active campaigning and
soothing with her tender care the
wounded and the sick. Her advice is
said to have been on many occasions a
distinct advantage to the Beers. With
the present campaign, up to the time of
her husbands death, she was prom
inently connected.
Mrs. Joubert is resolute woman and
devoutly religious. Next to Mrs. Kruger
she is the most popular and respected
woman in the Transvaal.

princeps," but against one who does
not it is distinctly at disadvantage.
Case shot are simply fiat-headed CYL
inders of thin iron, filed with bullets.
and this missile is never used save in
the direct emergencies. The horses of
the battery are all down, and the per-
sonnel, with orders to delay the enemy
at all costs, see that they must die
where they stand. They load with case,
and at few hundred yards range dis
charge their stream of bullets into the
midst of the advancing savages. <The
against modern troops armed with the
small-bore even this resort is not prac-
ticable-as witness the artillery loss at
the Tugela battle.
In heaps of shell it will be noticed
that their bases have ropes twisted
round them. This is for the purpose
of protecting the safe copper gas-check
from any risk Of injury during transit,
and is removed when the shells arrive
at the magazine. Filling she'll, although
reason of the precaution taken, safe
one; for the interior CT the projectile is
laequered to prevent friction, while in
the larger ones the charge is inserted
in bags.
1t is impossible for the British Gov
ernment to turn out sufficient shell for
all purposes; hence the trade is largely
| laid under contribution. No less than
5000 shell of all sizes reach Woolwich
every week from these sources in peace
time alone, and every one Of these has
to be examined, weighed, gagged, and
carefully scrutinized from within by
electric lamps before it is passed.
The United States Department used
dynamite for filling shell with, and, al
though it might be thought liable to
explode in the bore of the gun, this is
not so. One point must be steadily
borne in mind when artillery fire is
being discussed, and that is that its
effect is far more moral than ply
slcal one The noise, and the sudden
collapse of twenty, or even more, men,
cause more disturbance of the soldier
mind than double the loss by rifle fire.
Wounds from shells form a very small
total in modern warfare, but, none the
less, the presence or absence of an
overwhelming strength in guns decides
the fortune of battle to-day.
