he writes, who on receipt of informa- ton of the enemy's position and strength would leave their transport, take every available man, with rations for forty-eight hours, and make bee line in the hope of in any case secur- ing good number of prisoners, or perhaps 'bagging' the whole com mando." But he describes three other types of column leader. One would take elaborate precautions for the safe- ty of his transport, condemn his cav airy to the crawl of the bullocks, move by road instead of across the veldt," and of course arrive too late. to curse the guide for not bringing him a shorter way. ITO him separa- ton from his transport for even few hours was an unthinkable thought, though his force was classified as fly ing column" Another type was of the undecided turn of mind, who could form no clear plan. Though he gener- ally dashed into action promptly enough, he almost invariably failed to score, and threw away his advan- tages.'' A fourth type was popular, because of his persistence, but he was unsuccessful, too, because there went with his reckless pluck" "a supreme contempt for the powers of the enemy, which remained unshaken to the end, in spite of various regrettable incl dents" All in turn were hampered by inefficient Intelligence officers, who were frequently ignorant of the dis trict and the ways of the people. and, moreover, unable to understand native languages" In addition. such were usually casual supremely self-confi- dent and welded to week-old tele- grams"

BIG FORK BY SMALL THINGS.

Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth, and behold how much lit- tie insects eat. Professor Skinner of the National Academy of Sciences makes the following estimate of the damage done to crops in this country by insects: One-tenth of the total agricul- tural product, or $500, O,0O0,OO0 worth, Is eaten up or lost every year through in- sects. One half of this is lost to the staple crops. Credit is given to various insects about as follows: Hessian f1y's damage to wheat, rye and barley, one tenth, or s40,0OO,OoO; chinch bug. $7,OOO,- 900; corn root worm. 10 to 20 per cent. in many States. certainly averaging 5 per cent, or $37.OO0,00O of the corn crop: total to growing cereals. $S4,000.- 900. In seven Gulf States damage to corn has been estimated at 20 per cent, and at per cent. sor the whole coun- try, making the total $40.000.000. All other stored grain is estimated at 3 per cent, or $2000O,000, making a total approximate damage to stored grain amounting to $6O,OOo,OoO. Grass and hay, $2O, ,OOO,OOO. Cotton, by the cotton worm, boil worm. and boil weevil. S30.0OO.OOO in 1880. Since then this loss has de- creased, but Texas in 1894 lost SS,000 ,000 by the boil weeyil, and $15,oO0,0OO is con- sidered a low annual estimate of it's work on cotton. Tobacco gave up s per cent, or $2,0oOO00, to a horde of in- sects; potatoes, 6 per cent, or $1O,0Oo,OO0, to the Colorado potato beetle. No fig ures are given for fruits, truck, domes- tic animals and timber

This country has many of the biggest things in the world. After two years spent in construction the biggest Hume in the world has recently been opened at Madeira, California, in the heart of the redwood forests, about 1855 miles from San Francisco. Practically the thing is nothing but V-shaped wood en trough, the remarkable fact being that it is fifty-three and three-eighths miles long, or, including the numerous "feeders'' which branch off at inter- vals, seventy-one miles. The trough is of wood, double two-inch planking, and ? is forty-six inches across the top. This trough is carried on scaffolding over gorges and valleys, and passes through rock cuts in the mountains keeping as closely as possible to regular even descent like that of an aqueduct. Wa ter from the mountain streams is col lected at the upper end of the Hume and furnishes the steady current on which logs two feet in diameter are to be car- ried down in endless procession. The

There were recently on sale in Edin- burgh an old eight-day clock which has an Interesting history. About century ago there lived in Bannockburn Betty Wilcox, the widow of an English soldier who had fought at Culloden. Her son, sailor. lay In Russian prison, the crew of his ship having been captured by cruiser Of Czar Alexander I. She knitted three pairs of fine stockings and sent them as present to the czar along with a letter praying for her sons re- lease. The parcel was intrusted to the captain of a ship sailing from Alba to the Baltic, and the captain succeeded in getting it presented to the czar through a Scottish physician. Sir James Wylie, favorite at court. The czar was great Iy moved at the mothers petition, and at once set the sailor free, dispatching to the widow a handsome sum of money. With part of the money she bought the clock and had painted on it scenes illus trating her sons captivity.

The Emperor Menelik has had a cu- rinus experience in his efforts to replace barter by a metallic currency in Abys- sinia. The Maria Theresa thaler has for generations been current, but for want of smaller coinage salt blocks became the standard of exchange, and resisted all efforts, even of the emperor, to replace them by new currency coined in Paris some years ago. The salt blocks have given way, but not to the new coinage, which the people will not touch. The new standard of values is the rifle cartridge.
