Vortex motion in the. atmosphere,

summer and autumn are evidences Of
the existence of such upward currents.
But the aeronaut can detect them on
larger scale, and pene trating sonnet times

view, is only what might be expected
from statistics relating to such phe-
nomena where they occur in greater
earnest in other parts Of the globe.
It is classical history how dust

Of Africa and descended again on yes

ENGLAND'S HARD LESSON.
observations OF zone of the Most
Celebrated and Experienced OBJ.
servers of War"

The characteristic weakness in the
present campaign is the old, vicious evil
OF lnsular arrogance and habitual con-
tempt of others, of which it sometimes
seems that Englishnen will never be
cured until they have received per-
manently SOLDERING lesson at the hands
OF some European adversary. We have
been demoralized by victories over COL
ored races, forgetting that war is like
music, where bad practice is worse than
none. Which of those who are attack
ing; the war Office and giving generals
the benefit Of all the obvious ideas of
the armchair, were in favor of the gov
eminent sending out more than 10000
men to South. Africa six months ago {?
The Beers had to be dealt with, but they
were; not for that reason to be despised.
I have hardly ever known an English
man: from South Africa who was not
confident that the Beers we're "stink-
ing. cowards," and the rest of it, who
would never stand up against British
troops inthe field.
Z. We had exactly the same opinion 81
the American colonists, and when
George III. thought that a few regi-
ments. would. be enough to bring them
to subsection he only showed that he
was a most typical Briton. Before the
Boer way nothing would induce British
officers to believe that these unkempt,
frowsy farmers could fight trained
troops in uniform, and that loose shirts
and patched breeches might have a
good account of pipe-clay. The most
formidable British forces ever put into
the field, blocked or surrounded in
every direction by rough colonial
militia-there has never been anything
like it in history! It is nearly certain
that the forces with which the enemy is
holding US in check are far smaller than
we have recently tried to believe.
This is a situation that ought to cure
us of the complaint of blind national
egoism. But I fear that even yet. the
tendency of public opinion is to believe
thaS everything would have been easy

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
A Cornell Student Who Found Use
for Mechanical Information Ac-
quired at school.

One never knows where q. piece OF
practical informant ton will come into
play. The safe rule is never to neglect
an opportunity to learn an art or a sci
ence, lest at some time or other we
should find ourselves greatly in need
of it. An interesting story from Good
Cheer emphasizes this lesson. * "A
AT Cornell university all the students
OF mechanical engineering are Obliged
to learn seven trades. One of these, that
of the blacksmith, is very distasteful
to some young men, but it has to be
learned, nevertheless. One young fell.
low,.who was averse to soiling his hands,
begged to be exempted from wearing
the leather: apron, but the professor
took special care that nothing was
lacking in the thoroughness Of his train
ing at the forge. XII,
& Last fall the student went to the
professor and thanked him for COM
polling him to learn the blacksmith
trade, n s|=,
v s555 You see," he. said, II am now super
intendent Of a mine way back in Colo
RADIO. Last summer our main shaft
broke, and there was no one in the mine;
except myself who could weld it. .zs
T didn't like the job, but I took off
my coat and welded that shaft. 1t
wasn't a pretty job, but she's running
now. IT I couldn't have done it / should
have been obliged to pack that shaft
over the aims, and the mine would:
have had to shut down till it got back.
My ability to mend that shaftraised me
in the eyes Of every man in the mine.
and the manager raised my salary. :"

Unenviable Experience of O. Gordon
Highlander in a Fight
with BoeRs.

4 A private soldier in; the Second bat
talon, Gordon Highlanders, .recounts
an experience in the following letter,
indicating that the Workmanship of
some of the Beers at least is better
than has been alleged:
1--WE, the Devons, Imperial Light
Horse and others, had a fight at Eland-
slaagte with the Beers, and I-never en-
Joyed myself SO much before. You
first have to get christened to fire, and
then you think nothing of the shells
bursting about you, and the bullets
which go whistling past like bees.
I'VE went forward by so yard rushes,
and at every rush you could hear a
groan, and down would go one of our
comrades, either killed or wounded,
POOR chap! ,,.&s:. 49,.
when we were mikes from the enc
my they opened fire on us with shell,
and as we We're going along in mass
one of the shells burst on the left of
the company: and one of our men of
my section - Bobby Hall - got shot
dead with a piece of the she'll going
straight through his head. That was
what made more than one wish to
turn andsrun. But what would Britain
do if hefssoldiers ran from the. enemy?
AT last we got to where. we could
get shot at the Beers with our RI fies,
and you may bat. we gave them more
than one, as, perhaps, the papers have
told you. -
Il got through the rifle fire down
to the bayonet charge on the hillside,
when, [ felt sting in the left arm,
and looking down found I was shot
in the wrist. In changing my posi-
ton I got shot in the center of the
forehead. The bullet did not 90
straight through. It glanced off my
nose bone and came out above
my right temple. On looking
round [ was. just in time to see the
blood squirt from the first wound.
II shifted my position in quick time,
for [ did not want another from the
same rifle. I lay still after doing this
for awhile, when the thought came to
me to get my wrist bandaged and try
to shoot again. On changing my posi-
ton 1 got bullet right in the nap
per- I was out of action then, for all
was dark. I heard the officer I was
going to get the bandages from say:
Poor chap, he's gone But no, am
still kicking."-N. Y. Herald.
