MANY BOERS ARE DYING
PREACHER FROM PRETORIA TELLS
OF HORRORS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Says Men, Women and Children Are
Fast succumbins to Disease I'm
the RecOnccntradO Camps.

CHICAGO, July 29.-"The horror OF the
situation IN the Boer reconcentrado camps
of South Africa is appalling. Men, women
and children are dying at a rate that would
mean the determination Of the Boer race
in nine years. People are cooped up in UNI
sanitary quarters where they are unable
10 secure sufficient food or clothing, with
disease making terrible ravages among
them"
Thus was the situation in the Transvaal

Herman ID. B~rockhuisen. late pastor of the
leading Dutch Reformed Church at Pre-
toria. He has come TO the United States

of his countrymen who are huddled to-
gether in refugee camps. 1t is the inten-
ton OF Rev. Mr.. Brockhuisen to travel
through the country. speaking in churches
of various denominations and describing
the real situation throughout South Africa.
The funds he is able to secure will be sent
direct 10 Pretoria.
Regarding the outcome of the struggle
Rev. Brockhuisen is still optimistic. He
believes that the Beers Will continue fight
ing until they eventually Gust Great
Britain. 1T is quite impossible to stimate
the number of burghers now in the field"
he said. but the force is undoubtedly much
larger than when Pretoria was taken"
A few days before leaving Europe Mr..
Brockhuisen visited President Kruger. and
when he asked what message he would send
10 the American people Mr.. Kruger replied:
Tell them they are helping the English
10 slaughter our people by supplying them
with horses, mules and the munitions of
war

ODD THINGS IN PENCILS.
for Use on Glass and Some for
Use on the Human Skin.

New York Sun.
BLACK lead pencils" said the s~tationer.
ARE, of course, the kind most commonly
used, but colored lead pencils are. in the
aggregate, sold in large numbers. and they
are made in very great variety.
Artists lead pencils are made in more
than nifty, in perhaps as many as a hun
dred, c0lorS. In these pencils with the lead
in wood. the wood is finished of "A color APP
proXimating as nearly as may be that OF
the lead. A tray of samples OF such pencils
thus presents a very striking appearance,
making more than a rainbow of color.
There are made, also, colored leads, for
use In pencils for movable leads. These
artists pencils of one sort and another are
used not alone by artists, but by architects,
engineers, designers, craftsmen and others
having occasion to use fine colored pencils.
Then there is a great variety of colored
pencils Tor general use, for checking and
marking and so on, in office, and store, and
library, and factory, some OF these being
sometimes used on textile fabrics, as well
as on paper and wood.
There are colored pencils, these also be-
ing made in various colors, that are espe-
cially designed for the use of lumbermen,
as there are also pencils with leads OF
various colors made especially for the car
penter's use.
y doubt the common idea of a lead pen
Gil Is of something with which We mark on
paper, though the use of pencils for mark
ing on wood is familiar enough, as, in
a more limited way, is their use for mark
ing on fabrics, and so on; but there are
various uses to which pencils are put that
must be less familiar. If not, indeed, quite
nknow to many.
There are. for example, pencils. espe-
cially made for marking on glass. porce-
lain. polished metals, oil cloth, patent leath-
er ana other things upon which an ordinary
pencil would not mark at all. The lead
Of these pencils are, of course. made OF
"A material especially prepared for the pur-
pose. With such pencils marking is done
easily on any of these hard, polished sur
faces, and the marks may be as easily
rubbed off.
These pencils are in use in drug stores
and hardware, glass and crockery stores,
and so on. They are mad with white and
with black leads and with leads in "A va
riety of colors, the colored pencils being
the more generally used. and the colors
most commonly used being red and blue
and yellow.
Another odd sort of pencil is one made
for the use of surgeons for marking on the
skin in surgical operations and for ana
tOmical purposes. These. also, are colored
pencils, and they are made in a variety OF
COlOrS.
In fact. simple a thing as the lead pen
ell might seem to be, IL IS really something
that is made in almost endless variety; but
for all that, the pencil manufacturer gets
every now and then from somebody a de-
mand for new pencils for some special
use
