On the Landslide of Gibraltar are the
famous cliff-galleries, begun during the
great siege (1779-83); there are two
ranges of these, which have been cut
out of the solid rock. At various IA
vorable points batteries have been
erected, and the front Of the town Is
protected by sea wall and breakwa-
ter. The improvements now in pro-
gress are very extensive, extending
and completing the existing mole and
building detached mole; formation
of a deep harbor of 200 acres; new
dockyard; a torpedo-boat Gambler.
making the harbor secure against tor
pedo attack.
The ancients looked upon Gibraltar
as has the moderns, naming it Calpe.
one of the pillars of Hercules. In TO
a Moorish force, afterwards to conquer
Spain, landed on the rock and laid the
foundation Of the Moorish castle that
to-day Is still remaining. The name of
the commander was Tarik, and In his
honor the place was called GebeI
Tarik, Tarik's Hill-which "Gebel
Tarik," in the course of time, has been
corrupted into Gibraltar.

NOT So PREGNABLE
Gibraltar Is Not the Ideal Fortress
the World Had Supposed.
Modern Methods of Warfare Have
Rendered 1t Less Valuable to Eng
1and-Present Day Cannon
Would AnnihiIate 1t. ~

Sir Charles Dixie has stirred Brit
ishers by declaring that if Spain could
be induced to exchange Ceuta. on the
African coast, for Gibraltar, 1t would
be a good bargain for Great Britain
Whereat arises the question-is not
Gibraltar as impregnable as the world
has been led to belieye, after all not a
fortress ideal in Strength and posi-
ton?
1t has been so looked upon for 200
years, and the authorities say really
was impregnable in the days of sail
Ing vessels and prior to the methods
of modern warfare, prior to the many
death-and-ruin-deal inventions OF
the day. Gibraltar dominated the en-
trance to the Mediterranean back In
the days of sailing craft, for the set
of the ocean currents made it neces-
sary for vessels to come close to the
Rock" but now vessels propelled by
steam can go through the strait out
of range Of the guns from the fort, the
distance from Gibraltar to Ceuta being

sufficient depth to allow the passage

on Spanish soil anywhere along the
whole stretch of the bay of Algesiras
at distances varying from 5000 to TO-
900 yards"
(Which may cause Great Britain to
regret progressing improvements, the
cost Of which Eas been estimated at
$22, 000,0 00.)
Gibraltar is Great Britain's second
smallest dependency, this famous
crown colony possessing an area OF
scarce two square miles. The promon-
tory separating Gibraltar bay from the
Mediterranean is about 2A miles long

OF mile. It's highest point is 1,4o0
feet; the northern and eastern sides
are very nearly ineccessi Bile, the south
ern side decidedly precipitous, and
only on the west is the slope at all
gradual. The town lies on the west
ern slope along the bay. A sandy
isthmus connects Gibraltar with the
mainland, and here are to be found
the recreation grounds of the English
residents and the wells which supply
the fortress with water. Beyond, ~

ing the garrison of over 5000 men,
numbers $4,000. Most of the inhabi-
tants are of Spanish ancestry. The
climate is sub-tropical, but owing to
the fact that the town Is SO shut-in the
climate does not compare very favor
ably with that of some other sub
tropical region. In the past the NOR
tally was very considerable, owing to
overcrowding as well as to climatic
conditions, but there has been a de-
crease of epidernics since the adoption
Of stringent sanitary measures In or
der to limit the population of this
small place aliens were not allowed to
enter the town or remain in it with
out special permit. The military
character of Gibraltar is vigorously
maintained.

How to- stop Crnmp In the Legs.
People who are subject to cramp In
the legs should always be provided
with good strong piece OF cord, espe-
cially In their bedroom. When the
cramp comes on take the cord, wind it
round the leg over the place where it
is cramped, take an end in each hand
and give 1t sharp pull, one that will
hurt a little, and the cramp will cease
Instantly. People much subject to
cramp in bed have found great relief
from wearing ON each leg garter Of
wide tape, which has several thin slices
Of cork (cut off wine bottle cork)
stitched on 10 it.
