THE CHOPPERS"
One of the Most Extraordinary SUPER
stItiOns In the World Enter
tnined by Beers.

The Boer is deeply religious, and,
moreover, so Supremacy egotistical that
he really believes that his people are
superior to any other in the world, says
the London Mail. The "doppers" some
40 years ago somehow conceived the
idea that they were the descendants of
the lost tribes of Israel.
This was surely daring proposition
to advance, and as the heads of the
households declared that they were
temporarily sojourning in the wilder
ness and that during their stay they
would be smitten for their iniquities the
young Beers naturally came to regard
the English as instruments of ven
geance.
Even now there are Beers who on the
strength of the holy words 80 God, the
heathern are come into mine inner
itance," refuse to obey the orders of the
field comets to fight the English, not
because they are afraid, but because
they believe that the English being the
chosen instruments of vengeance it
would be an act of impiety to OPP
pose them.
The land of promise is thought by
some Beers to be in the neighborhood
Of the Limpopo river. This is no doubt
one of the most extraordinary super
stitions that ever took into captivity the
human mind, but there it is, and if the
Beers at the end of the campaign should
be willing to adopt this land as their fu-
ture home Great Britain, it is thought,
would not refuse them the privilege.

The campaign in South Africa is the
first in which bicycles have been used
by regular troops. Bicycle riders have
already done good service there, espe-
cially in conveying dispatches from be-
sieged towns like Mafeking. Sir Red

the British forces, has given depart
mental officers at bases of operation the
option of using their bicycles instead

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Experiments on Communication be-
tween Balloons Six Miles Apart
and One Mile High.

Experiments were lately made at vi
emma on the possibility of communica-
ton between balloons and wireless
telegraphy, and they met with some
success. A captive balloon takes the
place of the tall mast as used in the
Marconi system. copper wire is
stretched between it and the earth,
where the transmitting apparatus is
placed, the second balloon, which as
cends freely carries the receiving in
strument and is furnished with a wire
60 feet long hanging downward from
the basket. The balloons received and
transmitted messages up to a distance
OF six miles and at an elevation Of about
a mile. Of course, the great difficulty
will be to establish a transmitting sta
ton in a free balloon, both on account
of the weight Of the necessary apparatus
and also because there is danger OF
discharges from the powerful con
denser so near the infldmmable gas of
the balloon. Future experiments will
be looked for with interest by all who
are engaged in making study of wire
less telegraphy.

may be shown by placing some flowers
supposed to be of the purest white, like
