Bonfires as Warming SiunaI.

A little over hundred years ago
bonfires on Scottish hilltops were the
recognized warning signal for the
threatened invasion of the French.
There was no more enthusiastic vol
unteer than Sir Walter Scott. The
great novelist writes that "the neces-
sity of the present occasion (1SO3)
has kept almost every individual,
however insignificant, at his post. God
has left us entirely to our own means
of defense, for we have not above
one regiment of the line in all our an
cient kingdom. In the meanwhile, we
are doing the best we can to prepare
ourselves for contest which is not
far distant. beacon light communi.
eating with that of Edinburgh castle,
is just erected in front of our sliet
cottage. My field equipage is re..Ay,
and I want nothing but a pipe -,.s
scnur bartchen to convert me into
complete hussar."
While Sir Walter and his lady were
on a short excursion to the lake dis
trict. in 1905, the beacon fires were
needlessly lighted. He rode fully 100
miles within "a hours to the place of
rendezvous, only to find that. the alarm
had blown over.
