Only Decoration That the British Sol
dIers Value Highly Is the
Victoria Cross"

The fact that there are no fewer
than 10000 medals stored at Wool
~ich awaiting claimants causes one
to wonder whether the soldier puts so
high value on medals as Is usually
supposed.
Nearly all of these medals are for
tho Boer war. and there is special
government department with staff
OF clerks endcavoring TO trace the
owners. Besides these Boer war
medals, there are t.C00 medals for the
Zulu war which have never been
claimed, ard even to this day belatcd
claims are still put in for medals for
the Crimea and Indian mutiny.
A short time ago, for example. a
veteran named James Crystal applied
FOR and received medal for Afghan.

GiEANlNG OF AT HALF MAST
At First Universal Symbol Was
Taken Of Submission and Respect
Fer Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies,
especially if he is connected with the
government, the flags on public BALD
ings are hoisted only part Of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and
Express. This is called half mast.
Did you ever stop to think what con-
nection there could be between flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flages were used in war
has been the custom to have the
flag Of the superior or conquering ma
tion above that Of the inferior or van
pushed. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten it hauled its flag
down far enough for the flag of the
victors to be placed above it on the
same pole. This was token not
only of submission. but of respect.
In those days when famous sol
der died flags were lowered out OF
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man as worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag OF the great
conqueror CT all-the angel of death

But just as soon as darkness set in
and the captain began to suspect
that icebergs or other dangerous OBJ
iects were close at hand. it would be-
come useful. OF its operation under
such circumstances Sir Hiram says:
1T should be used constantly send
ing out the blasts in every direction.
If the sea were perfectly clear, tho
blasts sent out would be recorded at
the very instant of their production,
but no echo would be returned other
than that due to the waves of the sea,
which would provide a zigzag line OF
small amplitude; but IL there should
happen TO be an object OF any con-
siderable size at distance no greater
than two or three miles, the zigzag
line on the paper would be changed,
the amplitude of the waves would be
greater and would be very noticeable.
ITO make sure, the blasts could be
repeated several times; and then, IL
the result should be always the same.
II would indicate the presence OF some
object, and the length OF paper be-
tween the primary blast and the echo
would indicate the distance that the
object was from the ship. 1t might
be so arranged that one inch OF paper
represented mile.
THE receiving instruments can be
placed anywhere on the ship where
they can be turned in the same d.
rection that the siren Is turned, and
there may be as many of them as
desirable"
SIR Hiram points out that there are
vastly more accidents to ships caused
by running ashore than by collision.
and that coast does not need TO pre-
sent n very bold sea front to produce
very strong echo" on his appara
tus. II a ship provided with his ap
pafatus was approaching the coast Of
ireland, he says, the echo would be
sufficiently strong TO show Itself ovs'
distance OF at least zen miles.
