Dress Distinetions of Some British legiments, . There are various novelties, in the way of curious badges, stripes, and ribbons decorating the ordinary regi- mental uniforms of the various branches of the service to which in. teresting stories are attached. The custom observed by the sergeants of the Somerset Light Infantry, of wear- ing their sashes over the left should- er instead of over the right, is said to commemorate the Battle of Cullo- den Moor, when, according to tradi- tion, all the officers having been put out of action, the sergeants took com- mand, and to distinguish themselves from their men reversed the position of the sashes usually worn by non- commissioned officers from right to left, Somewhat similar is the custom of the 8th (King's Royal Irish) Hussars, sometimes known as the "Crossbelts," who wear the sword belt over the right shoulder instead of round the waist. This dates Back to the Battle of Saragossa, wliere the belts of the Spanish cavalry fell a prey to the troopers of the 8th Hussars. Officers, warrant officers, and ser- geants of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers are authorized to wear the "flash," a bow of broad black silk ribbon with long ends, fastenel® to the middle of the back of the collar. The origin of this peculiarity 18 obscure, but a re- port of 1768 notes that "the officers of this regiment wear their hair turn- ed up behind," in what was then known as the "Grenadier fashion," and the "flash" was probably intend- ©d to prevent the hair greasing the tunie. THE SOLDIER'S TEST. Most Terrifying Position Is Silence Under Fire, Every one of us must have won- dered how he would feel in battle for the first time. We may get some idea of how the average man feels in such gircumstances from a study of the psychology of battle, just pub- lished in Italy. Lieutenant-Colonel Mangiarottt, of the 77th Infantry ' carefully examined more than 2,000 soldiers who first faeed fire in the recent war between Italy and Turkey, | and he summarizes their statements | in the Rivista Militare. He questions ed them one by one. Out of 2,000 men 1,700 confessed that their most trying moment in | the whole campaign was when 'they | first heard hoctile bullets whistle about their ears. But almest ll of them said they were much less fright. ened than they had expécted to be, and that the scare diminished with each battle. The average soldier finds the most ! terrifying position to be that of | standing motionless in the from: | rank, exposed to the enemy's fire without being able to reply. ' The order to advance or to ¢harge with | fixed bayonets is then received as 3 release from agony. Movement, even | into greater petil, distracts the mind and greatly reduces the mental an- guish! Soldiers are seriously affected by | the trembling of their superiors. Av officer who shakes in his shoes is coward in the eyes of the rank and file, although the men know that many military heroes--Henry IV., Turenne, and Frederick thé Great, | for instance--trembled on going inte a fight, ing great havoc to the nets of fisher- men. This species sometimes reaches a length of fifteen feet, a fourth of which measures the "saw" FORCES OF NATURE. What They Do In Providing Power For Machinery, In several ingenious ways the forces of rature are now exploited in order to provide power for machin. ery' necessary for various humap activities. Such apparatus is especl- ally favored by engineers, for not only éan enormous power be obtain- ed, but the running expenses are ex- tremely low." One of the most jn- genious 'of these inventions is that which obtains power from the rays of the sun." The apparatus is at work in Egypt, where it pumps up water onto high levels In thousands of gallons, 5 § This novel device consists of a numbers of reflecting mirrors which concenitrate the rays' of the sun onto a glabs-covered "trough containing water. In a short space of {ime this water becomes sufficiently heated by the reflection from the mirrors to give off steam, which passes into a pipe to an engine of the usual steamy 'variety. = When 'some 30 -or 46 of these heating boxes are boiling watey by means of 'the sun's heat sufficient | steam is obtained to keep & powerful pumping engine at work with a min- imum of expense! / 'Some idea of the enormous power which the sun machine eonveys to the engine éan be ganged by the faét that' 2,000 gallons of water can be lifted 40 feet in dne minute.

Th: Remarkable Secret Will of Petes the Great, Russia's proclamation of the an- nexation of Galicia the other week serves lo recall a most remarkable historical document----the seeret will of Peter the Great-- which, it is sald, is read to every Czar of Russia on his: accession td the thrope. In that will Peter laid out an amazing program of aggression for future Czars to follow, which had as its consummation the commercial or political subjugation of the entire | world. * Nearly two centuries have passed since Peter died. The proportion of his prophecies that have come true Poland has disappear ed; Sweden has been humbled sand isolated;" the Turk has been driven from thie' Black séa; the road to I's: Has spread over northern Asis (6 the Pacific ocean: ' "The guiding hands of the dead Czar may be seen as clearly in the past.

It has already lost the latter to Servia, the two former wh! bedome: Russian territory if the . allies win the present war and Ser- vian arms are now ap "dine 'Bosnia. The Welsh Fusiliers, too, observe the custom of having a goat, decked with garlands, led at the head of the drums. On St. David's Day, March 1, the goat, bestridden by a drummer boy, used to be papaded round the mess table with the drums, 'during the ceremony of distributing the sym- bolic leek. The goat of the Welsh Fusiliers was killed during a recent action, but the King has just pre-| sented the regiment with another. The only regiment in the British army which wears a badge on both the back and front of the helmet is the Gloucesters, and it does so to commemorate the Battle of Alexan- dria (March 21st, 1801), in which the 1st Battalion of the regiment, then the 28th Foot, being hard press- 'ed, fought back to back. The 'cavalry regiments having the most individual uniforms are the 11th Hussars and the 16th Lancers. The former wear, in place of the regula- tion blue trousers, cherry-colored overalis, hence the familiar title of 'The Cherubims," while the bands- men wear greyish busbies in 'place of the usual black. This latter pecu- liarity, although it has existed for years, was only recognized by the War Office as recently as 1913. There are other minér variations in the uniform of this regiment, most of which introduces touches of the dis- tinctive cherry color, a shade not worn by any other regiment in the service, the world was completed in prepara- tion for the present war a few months ago, al Atakpame, about [110 miles from Lome.

These people were originally a con- quering tribe, lke the Masal and the Zulus, and they swept down from the north, somewhere. about a hundred years ago, devastating the country as they advanced. They came riding on horses, and as these animals had never before been seen in Togoland, the terror they inspired almost suf. ficed hy itself to ensure the defeat of the aboriginal owners of the soil. When the Germans came up from the south, a metley but brave and determined rabble, led by a certain free-lance adventurer named Kerst- { ing, they endured their first real check at the hands" of these wild liorsemen. Impressed by their fighting quali- ties, Kersting, following in a small way the example set by Cortez in Mexico, anid by Clive in India, allied himself 'with the uro--or king--of the Techaudjo, and, aided by him, he eventually subdued the whole coun- try and placed it under the German . The present. uro, an 'old but dignified and amiable savage named Djabo, is the son of the man who fought under Kersting's banner. He resides at Bafilo, near Sokode, in a "palace" provided for him by the Ger- man Government, who also grant him WAS MISERABLE COULDN'T STAND 25 Sia et Testifies She Was Although the bulk of the Togo na- ] 0, J tives are; usihus been said, in a con- AR ; E. dition but little removed from bars Vébme of the tribes, neverthe- less, show considerable skill in handi- crafts.
