pally due to the hide-bound and con servative nature of the examinations which have to be passed by officers seek ing promotion. A captain who wishes nowadays to get promotion is compelled to pass in subjects which are of no pos sible use to an army officer and which would not in any way fit him to be a leader of men, or good strategist. If he fEils in any one of the obstruse subjects set before him he is out of the running. The result is that officers are resigning in large numbers and swelling the ranks of men no longer very young, who want to enter commercial life
 The army council. in ther agitation, are trying to attract cadets by making the entrance examinations in the military academies at Sandhurst and Woolwich. almost nominal-there, examinations are degenerating into a farce. At Eton col lege there is a special class for boys who are desirous of entering Sandhurst, and last week 20 Eton boys passed their ex- aminations for Sandhurst before they were r years of age. As they are not allowed to enter Sandhurst before the age of IS this means that they will spend whole year at Eton idling away their time, unless their parents are wise enough to send their sons abroad in the interval to learn the languages
 In regard to the horse question, the army council Is being inundated with the opinions of experts from all over the country. More than 100000 horses were used up in the South African war, and most of the animals were very inferior and very high priced. The omnibus horses which proved to be the best, are fast dying out, owing to the advent of the motor omnibus, and meanwhile agents from Germany, France and Italy are buy ing all the best English horses in the market.

Cold Air squeezss the Moisture Out Of
Warm Air.
Warm air is capable Of holding more
moisture In suspension than Is cold air
When by any means a layer or current
Of warm air which Is saturated with
moisture is suddenly cooled a portion
Of the vapor must fall as rain. Cold
shrinks the heated air as pressure does
wet sponge and with precisely the
same results. In mountainous coun-
tries this cooling down of the warm
and damp air is most commonly pro
duced by the air being brought into
the nelghborhood Of mountain tops,
which are cold.
1t is for this reason that I'm such
countries the showers mostly originate
among the mountains and come
through the valleys out upon the
plains.
II will be easily understood that the
higher the mountain the more striking
will be the effects produced If II be
snow capped peak In a tropical re-
gion a cloud will be formed such as
to conceal the summit all the time.
This cloud viii be constantly growing
on the side OF the mountain toward
which the currents Of warm and moist
air are set, for ON that side the air is
being cooled down, but after It has
been driven over the peak It will waste
away as rapidly, for It is then coming
In contact with warmer air again.
From such high peaks the cloud rare
ly breaks away as shower All the
surplus moisture Of the air is depos-
tied IN the form Of rain or snow upon
the peaks over which the air passes.

HOW TO STOP DRINKING

1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse
that followed his debauches, and then
Break it.
But now it is gradually dawning
on the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. The nervous system of
the habitual drinker is diseased and
he must have treatment that will
cure this condition Orrine is sold
