clerk, settled in a nearby chair with a
grunt of contentment alcohol, eh?"

NEW WAY TO FIGHT oERs
Block Houses Third Of Mile Apart
Connected by Wire.
Only Effective Method OF Dealing with
Guerilias, 1t Ia Asserted, and MANY
More Troops Are Needed.

Iondon.-A correspondent OF the
Times, wiring from Pretoria, says
much remains to be done In the way
of partitionine the country by means
of lines OF block houses before the
British can hope effectually to clear
the Beers away from the large districts
of the Eastern Transvaal. 1t is found
that block houses d mile or more apart
arc useless in preventing the passage
of Beers at night when they are de.
termined to cross. Nothing short OF
block houses six or seven hundred
wards apart rid connected by means
of formidable wire ehtanglements VIII
prove effective.
To h 1ead the country In this way,
COWS tne correspondent, requires time
and men. but in the opinion of the
mF.itory authorities 1t is the only
method of dealing with an enemy VINO
refuses to fight and adopts guerlia
| tactics. The British public must there
fore be patient.
North Of the Delagoa Railway lne'
the dispatch goes on to say, the Beers
| are momentarily free from the pres
ence Of the British columns Inc
mountain ranges afford endless hidihg
| places for the enemy, supplies are pien-
tiful. and wheat, which finds its way
all over the country, is carefully con
cealed for future use. 1t Is Impossible
to avoid this unless the Beers are KEEP
moving. and to effect this many more
troops are required. =,

cenfration under De Wet, south e

Cheap Railway rarss.

India seems to be the land of cheap.
railway travelling. The returns of the
East Indian Railway show that in
twelve months 1s,500,000 passengers
used the line, and that of these 17,0O0,-
boo travelled third or lowest class. The
cost Of carrying was one-eighteenth Of
a penny per mile. and the charge to
the passenger was a little more than
one farthing. Great as Is the differ

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the ascent

not withstand the rarified air of these

such prolonged sufferings as those due
to lack Of health" His W expert
