BATTLE FIELD TACTICS.
Operations Involved In consolidatIng a
Position.

Operations Involved In Consolidating a
Position.
In military reports and accounts OF
battles one often comes across the
phrase consolidating position With
out knowing just what it means.
Consolidating a position means to
so prepare 1t that it will offer the
maximum resistance to an attack on
the part of the enemy and tho maxi
mum protection to the troops hold
ing 1t.
Where trenches have been captured
the first thing to be done Is to make
them face the opposite way from that
in which they have faced. This is
done by building loopholes and over
head covers on the side exposed to the
enemy, which, Of course, prior to the
capture was the rear of the trench.
When trenches have been partially
destroyed by shell fire or mine explo-
sions and then captured they have to
be rebuilt facing the enemy. As no
communicating trenches exist leading
from the captured trench to the one
the attackers came from, they have
to be built connecting with this main
position in such a way as to prevent
the enemy from taking 1t in the flank.
al this work and any other which
may be done to strengthen the cap
tors hold is meant when report
speaks Of consolidating position

WInnipu a Reputation.

An amusing story Of how he won the
title of being the champion cocoanut
shier among the clergy is told by the
bishop of Chelmsford.
He informed a gathering Of clergy
men, says the London Globe, that
when vicar Of Bethnal Green he took a
party of workingmen to Epping forest
and was there challenged to have a
shy at the cocoanuts.
He accepted and. paying his sixpence.
was given seven balls. Then some
thing happened which would not hap
pen again were he to live to be as old
as Methuselah. With those seven balls
he knocked OF seven cocoanuts. He
has lived on the reputation Of that feat
ever since. and when any one asked
him to have a cocoanut shy he said,
you go and knock seven off with
seven balls and then I VIII speak to

The Zadruaa Of ssrxla.

Those who know Servia well declare
that the economic system known as
the za6ruga has saved the Serbs from
the Ills of poverty and all that flows
from 1t. 1t is gloriied family. From
one house others grow, as the family
grows by marriage, until little COM
munity is established on something like
Socialistic principles. The stareshina
neadmaD and his wife live In the big
gest house and direct the industries Of
the satellite houses. Anxiety as to
bread and butter being eliminated, the
Servian has become one Of the gayest
Of the races of mankind.-London

ANIMAL SWIMMERS.
fhs Best Of All, Though Not tho Swift
est, is the Polar Bear.

1he Best OF All, Ihougn moi Sno oWtIt.
est, is the Polar Bear.
Nearly all animals are better swim
mers than man and take to the, water
naturally, while he has to learn to pro-
pei himself. The rhinoceros and hip
popotamus are wonderful swimmers
and divers, while the Indian elephant
crosses great rivers with heavy loads.
The elk and the reindeer are first class
swimmers. The elk keeps his head
above water and crosses directly from
bank to bank to avoid turning. The
reindeer, on the other hand, turns as
often as he likes, keeping his head
only little above the surface.
But of all swimmers of all climes the
best, though not the swiftest, is the
polar bear, who passes half his time
in the water swimming and diving.
His swimming power is nothing short
Of miraculous If it be remembered that
the water in the regions he frequents
is invariably cold and that cold is nor
mally prohibitive to good swimming.
There are bears that can swim from
forty to fifty kilometers without great
effort.
One of the swiftest swimming ami.
mails is the squirrel A sportsman on
one occasion. having at hand a squirrel
born in captivity. which had never
seen water. wanted to see II 1t could
swim and took It with him in a row.

squirrel turned toward the bank, head
and paws above the water, back and
tail underneath It, and began to swim
SO rapidly that It was with the great.
