The same remark applies to the arm-| ing of the men of Deyon and Somer- | set at the Battle of Sedgemoor, the last real battle fought on English ground. But even in these days of arms of precision there have been many cases where these scientific tools have been discarded in favor of | something much more primitive, For instance, at the Battle of Ink- erman, which was a soldiers' battle, fought in a mist almost without lead- ership, many of the British soldiers, finding their fire useless and their bayonets untrustworthy and bent, went In with their fists in true Brit- | ish style. Bluejackets have more! than once followed this example when a primitive force has been landed to punish natives. The Tarts have! gone for them with fists and beldy- ing pins, possibly feeling that any- thing more deadly would be more than the occasion required. The band has on many occasions Joined in the fray. It is reported to have occu.red in the late war in the Balkans, during the later fight- ing which took place between the late. allies, Bulgarians and Servians, The former were greatly outaumber- ed, and sfeing them getting the worst of It, the band went into+the melee with their instruments, and many a Servian was laid low by a blow fre the butt-end of cornet, opheecleid and trombobe, not to mention wel formidable baskoon.

In one of the fierce actions in the Peninsular War ammunition 'ran short, and many shifts were resorfed to in order to make up for the lack of bullets. The chief means were but- tons. There were not many left on the soldiers' uniforms when the fight was over. To-day, of course, la sol- dier could not do this, for/&ll'the ri- files are breeth-loaders. But in those days it 'was different. Thus in this very same battle it is reported that a soldier took a razor from his haver- pack, rammed it down, and fired it after the flying French 'cavalry.

During the twenty-four hours mo fewer than 2,139 trains pass through the Loudon Embankment Station, and each one stops there. That is absolutely a world's record. Oa the District Rallway section alone as many as forty-four trains an hour are run on a single set of rails. When it is borne in mind that every train slows down to enter the station, stops a brief period, and takes a few seconds to get up speed again, repeating the same process less than half a mile farther on, it will be realized not only that the service must be run with clockwork regular- ity, but that sueh a volume of trafic could mot be handled at all if the elimination of seconds had not been elevated into an ert.

The reports o Sir E. Goschen take the form of a British White Paper, copies of which were received by Sir Cecil Spring- Rice, the British ambassodor, and were made public by the embassy. Ambassador Goschen made an ex: tensive report on February 270i, 1914, on what he described as a "powerful secret organization for the purpose of influencing the for- eign press in the interest of the Ger- man export teade and the spread of German influence generally."

The consumption of spirits, per | head of population, was 1.061 gal- lons as against 1.112 gallons in | 1913; beer, 7.200 gallons as com- pared with 7.005 gallons; of wine, .124 gallons as against .131 gallons, and of tobacco 3.711 pounds com- pared with 3.818.

Old Time Punishments, Among the weird and horrible pun- i{shments inflicted in Quebec under both the French and British regimes were the burning of women at the | stake for petily treason, burning of the hand, branding on the forehead, and breaking on the wheel, Papua Island, Papua Island was so named by the Malays, and the word means "friz- zled," in reference to the hair of the inhabitants. It is generally supposed that Papua or New Guinea was orig- inally part of the mainland of Aus- tralia. It was discovered by the Por- tuguese in 1526, though it was prob ably sighted by A. Dabreu during his voyage fifteen years earlier. The Australian Government, reslising the danger that would arise if an enemy seized land so near their coasts, fre- quently urged Great Britain to annex the eastern portion of the island, and after two or three unauthorized an. nexations a British p ate was established there in 1884.
