The victor of Waterloo died on Sep: Jd.ord Roberts has done, and Queen Victoria wrote in her diary: "We were startled this morning at seven o'clock by a letter from Colonel Phipps, enclosing a. telagraphic. des- patel with the report from the sixth edition of. the 'Sun,' of the Duke of Wellington's death the day before yesterday, which report, however, we did not at all believe." Wellington's funeral was even more impressive than that of Lord Roberts. . For four days the remains of the Iron Duke lay in state at Chel: sei Hospital, whence the body was removed to the Horse Guards, and at eight o'cloek on the day of the fun- eral the procession started along the route to St. Paul's, the streets being lined with millions of people. In- deed, it han been said that the fun- eral of Wellington was the most im- pressive of all time. St. Paul's is second only to West- minster Abbey inn the number of its monuments to the mighty dead. The sarcophagus of Wellington consists of a great block of rock resting on a granite base, while at the extreme end of the crypt, where lle the re- mains of most of the eminent meén buried in the Cathedral, stand the funeral car (cast from captured can- non) on which the duke's remains were brought to the Cathedral. Ineldentally it might be mentioned that the coffin in which Nelson was buried beneath the great dome of St. Paul's was made from the main nist of the French flagship at the Battle of Aboukir, 1'Orient, Lord Heathfield, who defended Gibraltar for four years, 1779-83, agailst the Spaniards and French; Sir Isaac Brock, who captured Gen. eral Hull's army ut Datroit in 1812; and Sir Ralph Abercromby, whoge end came in Egypt, are other mili tary heroes interred at St. Paal's.

While wagons are provided for spare kits, in ihe field (he soldier has to earry pearly all his wardrobe, Although the men may "'grouch" at the weight of their aris and equip- ment, it is nothing compared te the lands carried by Coniinental troops, The French, Belgian, and Russian soldiers are not only burdened with heavy knapsacks, but they also have to fight in their.greatcoats. rery member of the British Ex- peditionary Force wears an "identi fiegtion dise."" This is « small elveus lar piece of aluminum, suspended "round the heck by a cord. Other items of active service kit which the soldier always has on his pérson are a fleld dressing packet and an emergency ration. The field dressing packet consists of a cotton bandage; « pad of gauzé, and a safe- ty-pift; and the emergency ration containg a small quantity of come pressed meat and vegetables, War equipment is officially divid- ed ifto two clnsges--"'parsonal" and "regimental." Under the former heading come the bells, arms, am- munition, and accoutrements that the soldier carries with him in the field. Regimental equipment means additional clothing, blankets, tents, saddlery; rations; forage, ete, and the netessary transport wagons to convey such stores. Until actually wanted, regimental equipment js kept in eamp. Tents, blankets, and spare kits are also carried in baggage wagons. An officer's field-service kit is a good deal larger than a private sol: dier's, The principal items are the following: = Service jacket, trousers, breeches, greatcoat, drab shirt, put- tees, "Sam Browhe' belt, hdversack, | Witer-hottle, lanyard and whistle. Mait officers who know what cam- palgning means will add certdin ex- tras. Among such are a knitted jer S8y or sweater, a money belt, spare shirts, socks, and handkerchiefs, na tid of dubhbin,d sleeping cap, a small medicine ecdse, and a housewife" This last item is very necessary, as socks and ghirts wear out very quick- ly on the march and bave to be con stantly repaired. An officer also wanis a certain amount of eamp equipment in the field. These various items are divid- ed into "war-kit" and "field-kit." The former consists of a sleeping-bag, cork mattress, blanket-bag, pillow, and bucket; and costs about $32.50. A flask, aluminum cup, brush and comb and shaving tackle, ete., are other desirable adjuncts. The "war- kit" is rather more elaborate, as It includes such articles as a mirror, | basin, bath, bedstedd; sheets, lan- tern, canteen, hold-all, and small tent. The ry kits together cost from $00 to $95. | Aen Operatitig on a Tiger. 'A well tiger if usually not a pleas. ant individual to dle.

I Row Tt Feels Traveling Beneath the Surface of the Sea. What does it fea] like to take a trip in a submaring bout--to be cartied far below the surface of the ocean in one of these silent, invisible destroy. era of the deep? The following is the secount given by an Ehglish official after an ingpec- tion trip on one of the submarines of the British navy: » "The captain was peering through a port, specially constructed so as to keop clear of spray. Suddenly he bent forward. : He pulled one of the brass levers. There came a quick hissing roar as the water rushed into the bal- last tanks. An indicator marked the quantity taken in, apd them -- and then we could feel a strange, heavy, water-logged motion coming over the bout, Now the surface of the ses was on a level with our eyes. The boat gave a little lurch forward, The rush- ing noise ceased. There came abso' lute, mysterious silence. There came a downward gliding sensation. The interior-of the boat was plunged into darkness, a blackness to be felt. We could feel rather than hear the throb- blug of the great, steady electric moter. | "As the room was flooded with electric light the captain said in & voloe which: echoed throughont the steel hall, 'l' am now going to give you an {dea of what submarine war- | tare would. be like.' . © "In w moment we could feel that | the vessel was traveling at a slight] upward angle. Then in a flash the | whole surface came into view, thi sun shining on the waves, and in| the distance the dark hull of a ship | outlined against the sky, "Down agaln to fifteen feet, | gradually creeping closer to our | imaginary foe, king over a small | white table, on which the picture of | the surfice was cast by the optic | tube, the minutes seemed to pass like | hours. Then thé hand of the com- | mander, which liad been resting nerv- | ously on one of the imdicators, was | sharply drawn forward. An instants! uspense--and nothing but an omin- | ous 'click aa the torpedo sped from | ita tube. ' "The atmosphere grew hotter and | hottér as we once more sank to lower | dépths. The alr became more aud | more vitiated, and at last we were | gasping for breath. The captain! quietly snilled across at us and ad- vised us not to take long breaths, but to breathe quickly. - At once we felt relief and began to get accustomed to what we had at first thought was bad air, but which was air artifieial- 1y made and poured into the room for our consumption, "Then at last came the signal, and the quick rush upward ore, the changing color of, ter as we gazed at it through he port hales, the flash of the sur- ce line @fross our eyes. The man- le was thrown open, and a wave -fréesh air rushed in upon us" : Home Industries Thrive, Scottish bothe industries are like ly to benefit to some extent this wins ter by the demand for comforts for the wounded soldiers and sailors in the war, Queen Mary, who from the first has shown & warn interest in this movement for the welfare o poor working women in the High- lands and islands, has recently pur ¢hased 'a considerable quantity of woollen sweaters and socks from the Orkney and Shetland home indua- tries, This enterprise has been car: ried on for the last five years in London by a lady who has long resid- ed in Standsting, Shetland, where she gives employment to about fifty young women in knitting gloves and other articles for winter wear.
