A longitudinal base esta blished
when this city was a military reserva-
ton formerly existed here. Another
was established in 1892, but Of late
years no base for government use has
existed here. LOngitudes from one es-

stars. Tuesday night cOmmunicati ton
and an exchange Of signals was held
between Mr.. HOdgsOn at the local base
and Mr. Smith at Orogrande, 40 miles

~NE HUNDRED AND SEVEN years
aEo-October 3. ABoulogne.
~, France, was the scene Of an extra
ordinary martial array Napoleon had
assembled there 100 600 Of his fines sol
,ciers and 10000 horses, and flOtilla of
1900 vessels and 1000 sailors for the
purpose Of invading England AT least,
that was what he had given out and
that was what the people Of England
were looking for,
The excitement across the Channel
was intense The coasts OF Sussex were
lined with martellO towers and lines Of
defence and pretty nearly half the
adult male population Of Britain was
at moments notice to meet the on
coming Of the Man Of Destiny.
But the Man Of Destiny did not come.
The 5th Of October. the day set for the
crossing, came and passed away, and
the mighty armament was stiu in the
harbOr Of BOulOgne- The whole thing,
tremendous as were its proportions,
was but a flash in the pan.
Was it intended for that2 Was the
mighty preparation nothing more than a
great, big bluff on the part of Napo-
leon2
To this day the question is still be-
ing debated BOurrienne, in his Me-
molrs, tells Us that Napoleon never re-
ally intended to invade England, says
that Napoleon told him so in plain
words; while. on the other hand, Las
Casas assures US that the emperor was
in dead earnest regarding the invasion
According to Las Casas, he was enthu-
siastic on the subject, speaking with
great animation Of the one pitched bat
tie which would have decided the whole
thing and made him master Of ENGLAND
In as complete a sense as William the
ConQuerOr was after the battle Of Hast
ings.
Tt VIII probably always be impossible
to say with certainty whether Napoleon
really intended to attempt the LANDING
OF an army upon the shores of ENGLAND.
Eourrlenue was a notorious prera rica-
tor, and the chances are that Las Casas
was right AT any rate, the prepare
tons were eEtraOrd inarily complete
end it would look as though they were
meant for more than an empty threat
The imagination loves to dwell upon
the question: What would have hap
pened had the French. commanded by
Napoleon, succeeded IN landing UPON
the soil Of EnEland2 Would they have
succeeded2 Would the COrsican adven-
turer have been as lucky as the Nor
man soldier Of fortune had been seven
centuries before2
We can only guess-but the chances
are that had NAPOLEON invaded England
bis star would have gone down several
years before 1915. His flOtilla would
have been destroyed, and despite some
probable initial successes his 10000
soldiers would have been aunihIlated
90 man by the enraged people Of Eng
land.
