and determined struggle. They Were
finally reinforced by reserves that had
been ordered up from Oudja and Ne
mours, and then began a vigorous as

The French loss was eleven killed
and fifteen wounded. The Moorish loss

France to the fact that the vexing No

rocco is now confined to native strife
! between Abd-el-Aziz. the sultan of rec
ord and Mulai Hahd. the sultan Of the
south, the powerful Benis Nassen tribe
has suddenly broken out In the north

tits very deceptive to judge OF the
size or capacity OF an object which Is
hfty feet or more In the air" said an
architect to the writer as we were
passing the royal courts Of justice q
few days ago. "Now, look at that
clock" pointing 70 the law courts
clock, which hangs about seventy feet
above the pavement. ut looks very
small, doesn't 1t? Hardly big enough
to hold n man. Yet a party OF us
breakfasted In the case before the
works were put In" Everybody
knows how deceptive Is the appear
ance OF the Westminster clock. Look
ing at the dial from the embankment
or from Great George street, 1t seems
as If man OF medium size could cas-
lily stretch across the dial with both
arms. Yet ii would take four pairs OF
outstretched arms to cross it. The
minute hand, which looks Ike an or
binary walking stick, is longer than
the two talIest soldiers in the life
guards. The figures on the dial are
bigger than a three year-old child, and
the second dots are as big as a dinner
plate.-Lonoon Graphic.
