Who Are the Experts I'm Warf
Jean de Bloch in the National Review.


The truth is that military men in Eng
land did not show themselves one whit
more competent to estimate the military
problems of the Boer war than civilians
They relied, like civilians on tradition, and
laughed at the idea that any such changes
had taken place in the art of war as were
predicted by theorists, who declared, among
other things, that offensive warfare was
much more difficult than formerly. The
cause of this military blindness is in no
way obscure Military training is itself an
taSonistic to original thought. II is no
wonder, therefore, that NOWADAYS when
rifles and artillery are hundred times
more powerful than before when armies
are fVe to ten times larger and when rail-
ways have changed the whole art of war
that We find the system of instruction dif-
ferfng very little from that employed in the
days of Napoleon. or for the matter Of
that, in the days of Gustavus Adolphus
Yet even among military men themselves
the more enlightened feel as many doubts
as Marshal SAKE. That the methods TO be
adopted in the future wars are a matter of
grave doubt has been declared by writer's
as eminent as Won Rohne, Janson Muller
Pellet-Narbonne and Skugarewsky IL Is
expressed eXcellently in the words of Gen
LuzeuN: Let the Instructors first agree

right to dictate to civilians Nine out of

Australia's Capital.


Nobody yet knows where the future capt.
tai of federated Australia is to be located.
1t is agreed that Melbourne must be the
temporary metropolis for five years at the
very least. Everything possible is being
done by the Melbourne local authorities
to make the commonwealth government
and parliament comfortable in their city
and reluctant to depart. Their presence
not only confers prestige but circulates a
considerable quantity of cash. II is Sir
William Lyme who. home secretary. has
control of all the preliminaries incidental
to the selection of the site of the Ottawa
Of the Antipodes. Some predict a pro-
longed controversy over this matter,
Sydney Is still swayed to a large extent
by local considerations, one of which is
that the new federal capital must on no
account be located where IL might inter-
fere with Sydney's commercial supremacy
or paramount Importance as the parent
British settlement in the southern seas
Sir William Lyme is himself strong sgd
neyite in this sense.

Piazza Life in Summer.
ON the Woman's Home Companion.

We in America are coming to understand
the Importance Of outdoor life The real
poetry of summer is well-nigh lost unless
one can come in contact with trees, grass
and flowers. True country life bars none
from this delight. but In villages and sub
urban towns it's limit is fixed by the space
devoted to the piazza.
The importance Of this portion Of the
house should be duly recognized before the
plans are out Of the architects hands, and
the three essentials for the correct location
exposure privacy and outlook-should be
as carefully considered as its construction
and relation to the main building In some
instances even the conventional rule for at
taching the piazza to that portion of the
house that faces the street should not be
followed, the interior plans being reversed
in order to bring the living rooms and
porch at the rear.
There is one opportunity afforded by a
broad piazza Of which we are slow to take
advantage. We might take more of our
meals al fresco. One of the most fasciuat-
ing things about living abroad is that In
summer one may often dine out of doors.
We should import the custom into this coun-
try, for 1t is good one, and then to the
delights of long evenings on our piazzas
we should have added that greater pleas

with nature herself

Where Do Old Books Go.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
1T is certainly extraordinary" said a
New Orleans collector, how an entire edi-
ton of book, running up into the hun
dt eds or even the thousands of copies will
disappear in toto from the face of the earth
but the ways and chances by which odd
volumes are occasionally preserved from
destruction are equally remarkable. Some
years ago, to give an illustration, attend
ed the sale of private library that L felt
certain concealed some good things 1t

end the auctioneer put up what he de-
scribed as a package Of old maritime re-
ports" The bundle was enclosed in heavy
wrapping paper, tied with stout manila

it's owner, whoever he may have been, tied
1t up with the nautical pamphlets and then
forgot what he had done with it. The

anybody ever undertook to investigate it's
contents one glance at those ponderous

Pens and Pen Making.
From the Kansas City Star.


The manufacture of pens in the United
States is confined to only four companies
although one might suppose there were
many more said a Connecticut man who
is engaged in that line of work, the other
day That does not include the making of
gold pens, which is separate industry,
but pens of steel, brass and German silver
The steel for these pens is brought chiefly
from Sheffield, England. as Is the best
blade steel Many experiments have been
made with steel manufactured over here
but it never has sufficiently stood the test
The imported product comes in sheets
about three or four inches wide and from
sixteen to twenty feet long.
The impression would be that such little
articles 50 universally used as pens would
be entirely machine made. Not so. From
the moment the sheet steel is started on it's
way into pens till the finished goods are
boxed and labeled it Is handled by employees

England Lacks Sailors.
From the LONDON Chronicle.

Here are some more cogent facts con-
corning the dearth of men for the navy,
The Cressy is shortly to be commissioned
at Portsmouth. and as she is a special
ship, great efforts have been made to keep
a crew for her. That is to say, it is re-
garded impossible to supply a crack ship
with more than half her proper compile
ment of trained officers and men. Besides
the Cressy. Portsmouth has to find a new
crew for the Eclipse. It cannot be DONE
and drafts are being asked for from other
ports. These, however, are short handed
also, and In consequence the Eclipse can
only be supplied with the sweepings of the
depot. and the mass of her crew will all
too probably be "ullage"-to use the naval
term for preponderance of undesirables
Despite this condition of affairs, there are
few. If any, signs that the admiralty are
bothering themselves to any extent over
the problem. The shortage is accepted as
necessary evil, and laissez-faire is the
order of the day.

Dogs on Outpost Duty.
rom the London Chronicle.

The employment of dogs on outpost duty
in South Africa will be watched with much
interest. Among the ancients dogs were
trained in considerable numbers for the
purposes of war, and mention is made of
them by Plutarch, Pliny and other writer's
The Romans kept dogs in towers on forth
fications in order that no enemy should
approach unobserved. while the knights
of st. John employed them on picket duty
and patrols were always accompanied by
them. The maStiffs of the knights OF
Rhodes knew Turk from a Christian by
the smell. Then there is the spaniel which
saved the Dutch republic by waking
tack on Mons Many nations are training
dogs especially Germany, which has de-
voted nearly twenty years to training and
experimenting, and employs them as sem
tries and to search for the wounded.

VfctOr1a's dogs

Queen Victoria was great lover of dogs.
In the royal kennels at Frogmore are some
sixty or seventy collies, terriers, dachs-
hunds and pomeranians which belonged to
the late queen. Many Of the favorite dogs
have been claimed by the princesses. but
the smooth-coated collies are now being
distributed to people in Windsor, as the
King and queen have decided preference
for pugs and terriers
