SUBLIME SIMPLICITY
The Epitaph Over Sir Henry Lawrence,
the Lucknow Hero

There is a simple' tomb in Lucknow,
In India, that cost no more than many
plain farmers gravestone in our ru,
raj burying places, but Clarence Poe
declares that it impressed him more
than anything else he saw in India ex-
cept the Himalayas, the Tai Mahal
and the view of Benares from the
river.
1t is the tomb of the heroic Sir Hen
ry Lawrence, who died so glorious a
death in the great mutiny of 1857. No
commander in all India had planned
more wisely for the defense of the
men and women under his care. but
the siege had only begun when he was
mortally wounded. He called his sue.
cessor and his associates to him. and
at last, having omitted no detail of
counsel or information that might en-.
able them to carry out his farseeing
plans. he reused himself to dictate his
own immortal epitaph:
Here Lies
Henry Lawrence,
Who Tried to Do His Duty.
May the Lord Have Mercy on His Soul.
And so to-day these lines, sublime in
their simplicity, mark his last resting
place, and you feel that not even the

Cruisers Coal on the Run.

The British cruisers which, are guard
ing the steamship lanes against Ger
man raiders do not dare to relax their
vigilance for an instant. 1t is danger
Gus for them to stop to take on the
necessary coal. and so an ingenious
method has been devised to enable
them to take coal on the run. The
collier that is to supply a cruiser with
coal gets into touch with her by wire
less and meets her at the appointed
spot. The collie pulls up behind the
cruiser and when about four hundred
feet astern two hawsers are passed
from the warship and one fastened on
either side to be used as tow lines. An
other cable is stretched from the mast
head Of the collier to the deck Of the
warship. The warship steams ahead
at the rate of 10 or l. knots an hour.
followed by the collier Great bags
holding a ton of coal are hoisted to the
masthead of the collier and attached
to d carrier that allows them to run
ra piCly down to the deck of the cruiser,
where the load is automatically re-
leased. The carrier is then drawn back
to the collier. BY this means coal is
loaded onto moving warship at the
rate of SO tons an hour. The American
