has ceased to be true. It did so in the days of sailing vessels. because owing to The SCI of the ocean currents such vessels were compelled to come close to the rock in order to get through the straits. Things are different now. From Gibraltar to ceuta. on the African coast, is fourteen miles. and as tnere is plenty of deep water of Ceuta. vessels pro- pelled by steam can traverse the mar rows beyond the effective range of the British guns. The domination of the Mediterranean by the fortress is at an end. But that is not all or the worst. The experts have discovered that the port, the town. the new harbor. the bar racks. everything. would be within range of heavy artillery on Spanish soil anywhere along the whole stretch of the bay of Algeciras at distances varying from 5000 to 10000 yards
 It is unnecessary to demonstrate the gravity Of that circumstance. Its effect upon the military value of Gibraltar is obvious. In view of it so good an authority as Sir Charles Dilke is argu- ing that if Spain could be induced to ex- change Ceuta for Gibraltar it would be good bargain for Great Britain.-Phil- adelphia Inquirer.

GIBRALTAR PASSING.

Not the Rock, but Importance as a Fortress
 For nearly two hundred years, or since its capture in 1704 by British Admiral Rooke. down to a very recent period, the rock of Gibraltar has been the synonyme for impregnability, and it's possession has been thought to invest Great Britain with an absolute control over the entrance to the Mediterranean lit dominates one of the most frequent quarter of the wide horizon which is visible from it's summit the steamship tracks converge. Those coming from the East, from the ports of the Mediter- ranean, from China, India, Australia land the far Pacific, cross those which arrive there from England and the United States. from France and Ger many, from South America and Vest Iern Africa, and every day throughout the year nearly two hundred vessels de- | file between the columns of Hercules and pass in sight of the gigantic for tress which stands there on guard.
 Such being the case, it is no wonder that Great Britain, with it's vast com merce to protect and its distant colonies and dependencies to guard, should these two centuries past have held on to the
 place with such tenacious grasp. or that it should have spared nothing in its effort to improve to the uttermost Ithe natural advantages of the position, and to make Gibraltar, in very fact. the key to the inland sea at whose entrance lit is situated. The control of the Medi- |terranean was never so important to Great Britain as it is to-day, when the
 road to India and the East, which used
 to lie around the Canal and the Red Sea
 and to make sure of that control against
 whatever opposition may be encounter
 ed has been and is the constant solici-
 tude of the British government.
 Everything that is possible has been
 done, not only to render Giberalter im-
 pregnable, but to develop it's full utility
 as naval base. The rock has been
 honeycombed with galleries and stocked
 to the limit with provisions and muni-
 tious of war. Immense cisterns have
 been built to hold the water of which
 the place by nature is devoid. There is
 standing coal pile of 10000 tons, and
 the regular strength of the garrison is
 10000 men. On the summit of the hill
 200 guns of heavy calibre and modern
 pattern have been installed, and as the
 harbor was insufficient for the present
 need, the British government lately un-
 dertook it's extension, and is now en-
 gagged in the execution of plans at an estimated cost of $22, ,0O0,OOO, which it ex- poets to complete in about year or eighteen months from date.
 Yet a grave doubt has been raised as to the wisdom of this expenditure, and there are those who declare that the trust which is placed in Gibraltar as a naval base might, if put to the test, be disappointed. That the position domin- ates the entrance to the Mediterranean

ENGLISH SOLDIERS AND THEIR
 UNIFORMS.


 But. for some inscrutable reason, our soldiers appear to think their uniform is a badge of shame. or. at least of serv{- tude. Any self-respecting officer, so far as I can see, would rather die at the head of a forlorn hope than go to a theatre or restaurant or private ball in full regimentals. A non-commission- ed officer who sees a brother warrior privileged to walk down the street in plain clothes turns sick with envy. No soldier of any rank seems to consider that uniform can enhance his attractions to the female eye. and the only way in which have ever heard of it's being used for this purpose is by the humble, but impecunious private, who charges a female admirer so much an hour-2 pence is, I believe, the usual fee-for walking out in company with him.
 What makes this the more strange is that it is entirely peculiar to the British Army. Iii every foreign country soldiers-and officers most of all-seem to be extremely proud of their uniforms, and lose no opportunity of displaying themselves therein. The effect of smart military uniforms in brightening up a crowd, whether out of door or at any evening assenblage. is undeniable. As a mere matter of aesthetics most peo- pie will agree that it would be a decided improvement if uniforms were worn in England as they are on the Continent. And from the merely professional point
