Writing on the subject OF Invisible

Haywood w. Seton Carr, the we'll
known African traveller, points out
the desirability of soldiers being cloth

that of the country in which they may

in India or in the deserts of Egypt and

Mr.. Seton Carr would have the British
troops in Somaliland clothed partly in
the color of theSomali desert and part
Iy in that of the mimosa trees, with
which the country is sparsely covered
Another suggestion is to vary the
shades of the same uniform-to make
the coat darker than the trousers. Mr..
Carr thinks that by experimenting on
these lines complete invisibility might
be achieved ultimately.

travelling companion who was willing
for a small sum to take charge of the
box and forward it to destinations as
directed. Terkal packed himself in the
box, and at convenient place on the
way left it.. He then marched to the
railway Office, proved that his box was
90 pounds lighter than it was when
shipped, and demanded damages. This
scheme was worked from place to
place, the railroad and steamboat COM
panies in most cases being only too
glad to settle quietly.
Terkal left Odessa with 10 kopeks
(about II cents and returned with
1000 rubles (about 81 10000. Just as he
was about to leave his box for the last
time the railway police observed his
movements and Terkal was arrested.

OWNS EIGHTY-THREE ESTATES
Emperor William Has n Big Landed
Interest to Look After, and 53
Castles to Shelter Him.

Emperor William owns SO estates.
besides SO castles. These estates foot
up 100000 acres, and the income from
them is about 100000.
But several of the great landed pro.
prietors, the prince of Pless and the
duke of Ratibor among them, have fan
more extensive landed possessions
than their imperial master.
However, the emperor's property is
big enough to require an ever-increas-
ing army of agents to look after it and
is constantly increasing. 1t is not an
uncommon thing for German prince
or wealthy owner of landed estates
to leave a house or land to the en-
peror. This was the case of the castle
and the estate of Cadinen, where the
empress spends her happiest days.
Enormous sums GO to the support
of the SO castles. The emperor has
only visited 30 of the SO, yet he is build
ing another castle on huge scale in
the town of Posen to be Prussian
royal residence among the Poles.

esque crags on the ravine are three Oh
