How large General Wallace's army is fs not known in Australia, but the character of the fighting it is doing Is indicated by the letters referred to above, Lance - Corporal Clifford Brown says in a letter to his father at In- vereéll, under date of Dec. 14: "We are fighting the Arab and Dervish tribes on the western fron- tier of Egypt armed with swords, and the first time we charge we will have the honor of being in the first cavalry charge by Australians, (The Aus- tralian cavalrymen who went to the Gallipoli Peninsula, it will be remem- bred, were obliged to go as infan- rymen, it being too rough a country for the employment of mounted troops.) We are picked men, and hope to give a good account of our- Selves, The Arabs are great scouts, dressed like the sands, and their horses are wonderfully trained. I am taken off despatch riding, and have done well scouting. It is terribly risky work. "A Scout has to see and not be seen, and with these Arabs out here you have to be mighty careful, be- cause perhaps a regiment or squad- ron is depending on your work. My horse, as well as several others, has been trained to lie down, and it's a great help, but all Australian horses have a bad fault for this game--that Is, they whinny at the sound or smell of horses, and, of course,. that is a 'put-away." But to get over that we tie a strip tightly around their noses. If you are 'put away' or seen it's a case of go for your life, but never in the direction of the main body. You have to play the game of bluff and slip away in another direction. Scout- ing is wonderfully interesting and exciting, but the strain is terrible. "I wish you could organize some fund to send us scouts' field glasses. (This fund had been started in Syd- acy and other cities in the Common- wealth before young Brown wrote, and many racing enthusiasts had contributed field glasses in answer to & general appeal.) They would be a great help against such an enemy. This country is all sand, no timber, and very hilly. It is quite cold at night and a bit warm in the day." Brown says in an addendum this, evidently at a later date: "We have retreated now back to Matruh to take up a better position. We were afraid the Arabs would cut us off on the retreat. We expected them to shell our camp all night, but they did not, I think they are afraid to come out of the hills. It was lively yesterday, heavy shells from our warships screaming over our | heads on their way to the enemy. Their shrapnel was bursting pretty close to us, but did not reach us. It is the first time they have used it on us, and they must have got it the night before with reinforcements. "The enemy are treacherous brutes. Any of our wounded they get they kill. Some of our chaps have been found with heads all bash- ed in and all cut*about." Trooper Norman "Berry, of North Sydney, writes to his home from Ma- trub, obviously about the mfddle of December, relating what he calls "a bit of a scrap" with the Senussi. He says: "It was very pleasant to hear the warship guns speak. The balls went whistling over our heads and we could see them bursting among the enemy a mile away, One of our ar- tillery guns helped us well. We have & good many big guns here, and some cruisers. The enemy appear to be very poorly equipped, and they have only one big gun, which 'they don't seem able to work, properly, as it has done no damage yet. They dp- pear very frightened of us and keep well in the hills in caves and dug- outs. We have aeroplanes which do great work reconnoitring every day. At present it seems as if we are sur- rounded, but we are well prepared for anything, and the sooner they come the sooner we will finish them, as this place is like a huge fortress." Matruh, described by Berry as a "huge fortress," is doubtless the same base as mentioned by a West Australian soldier in a letter to a friend in Perth under date of Dec. 22. He says: "This is a veritable Ladysmith on a small scale, with the sea as a sane- tuary in case of need. The place is well fortified with wire entangle- ments, 80 we are in & position to give a good aceount of ourselves if neces- sary." The want of water is referred to by several of the letter writers. One says: "Water here is to THE DAILY GRAVE YERCONE, 3 Objects Dropped Deviate Toward the North, Along the southern edge of the Himalaya Mountains a curfous nat- ural plenomenon has been noticed by engineers. The plumb line which they use, instead of falling vertically and forming two right-angies with the surface of the ground, is deflect ed nearly five degrees (0 {he north, The explanation which has bees advanced for this queer freak of gra- Vity is that the deflection is due to the influence of the mountains. The amoust of attraction masses exert for each other is in direct proportion te the relative weights of equally sized portions of each body, and in this case the weight of a cubic foot of Lhe earth below the plumb line is much less than the weight of a cubic foot of rock from the mountains, It is probable that at one time all of Nor- thern Hindustan south of the Hima- layas was an immense depression, a@nd that through the ages It has been filled up by alluvial silt washed down from the mountains. This Joose slit, being under no such pres- sure as the billions of tons cf solid rock in the mountain ranges, bas much smaller density, and accord- ingly a much lighter gravity "pull" than exercised by the huge mass of the Himalaya range. "It Is conceivable that in this place if a person stands "erect" he really leans a little towards the south to make up for the "pull" of tha north- ern range, while, theoretically, it is really harder for him to walk away from the mountains than towards them. Objects, of course, do not tall directly to earth, te a little to the north.---John P. Caldwell, in Technical World. Dried Flowers. Florists are anxious to obtain DBrit- ish dried flowers to take the place of the German products. An enormous. trade has been done for many seasons past in beech branches and oak-leaves, which are tought largely by the florists to help them through the winter months when flowers are scarce. 'Speaking just for my.own firm," said a°well-known Court florist, "J am open to place a fairly big order for dyed beech branches if any are to be had at anything like the old Ger- man prices." These beech branches, sterilized, bleached, and dyed in brilliant au- tumnal colors in the German flower factories, are, he explained a favorite winter foliage in great demand with chrysanthemums and other late- flowering plants. Although the in dustry, so far as the supplies used in this country are concerned, has beep entirely a Continental onc, fully three-quarters of the total supplies coming from Germany and Austria, there is no reason why British enter prise should not take it in hand. The capital required is small, and the work could be done well by women. The industry is a profitable one The British demands alone were suf- ficient before the war to justify tire presence of gix or eight German tra velers, who put up at the big hotels and succeeded in selling hundreds of tons of dried products. Riled the Scots. At a rest camp 'somewhere in France" the men of a certain famous Scoteh regiment were having an im promptu concert. Presently there drifted into the tent, lured there by the sound of rev elry, a sturdy cockney camp cook For some time he listened apprecia tively to the music; then he suggest ed that he could oblige with a Scot tish song. He was conducted prompt ly 'to the paltform. Great was the applause when the pianist, after a whispered consulta tion, commenced to play a well known tune. Advancing to the. edge of the "stage," the camp' cook, with an inimitable cockney accent, sang: 'Scots wha hae on porridge fed, Scots wha's hair is awfu' red, Scots wha suffer frae swelled head--- Gang and wash yer knees!" He made his escape in good time, and so far has not been caught. But a whole regiment of kilties, mad with rage, are still on his trail.-- London Answers, Giant and Dwarf Honey Bees. In some of the East Indian Islands and on the rhainland of Hindustan are to be found the smallest species of honey bees in the world. These dwarf honey collectors are known to entomologists as Apis florea. Their honeycombs are no longer than a child's hand and the cells are about the size of a small pin head. This honey is excellent, as is the wax. The little creatures build the comb on the branch of a low tree, and as they have not to provide for winter they work all the year through, raising broods like themselves. In the'same land there is a species of giant bees, Apis dorsata, as large as a field cricket. These monsters of the bee world build honeyeconibs that are from six to seven feet in length, four or more in width, and weigh from 300 to 400 pounds each. Ancient Portent Solved.

Kingston, May 12.-- (To the Edi- tor): Some days since, the Whig published the opinion of a citizen suggesting the using of the new causeway across Cataraqui river for foot passengers, and 'thus relieving the temporary bridge traffic conges- tion. The suggestion is a good one, but the erection of a high level bridge across the span to be occupied by the swing bridge seems to me to be more feasible than filling the space with a pontoon or scow First, the traffic of the low level would interfere with the workmen building the buttresses, Secondly, it would be keeping a tug with steam up ready to remove and replace the pontoon or scow every time a boat had to be let through, Thirdly, it would be a great incon- venience to pedestrians who happen- ed along while boats were being let through. A high level bridge would admit of an interrupted traffic while boats were passing and work progressing, expensive | ji TABLE DAMASK inches wide--a regular $2.00 value To-morrow NAPKINS The bridge with long, easy inclines would be much less expensive, as the! timber and lumber could be disposed of after it had served its purpose. Traffic on the present temporary bridge should certainly he relieved, and this seems to be a solution of the problem. | R. E. SPARKS. | Defence of Denbigh's Enlistment. Denbigh, May }1.--(To the Edi-| tor): In your issue of the 8th inst.,| under "Many Military Matters," you mention Denbigh as "'a little village of 200 inhabitants, that, given one man to the cause of the ountry, dae, it is said, to the pro i German feelings of the natives." In! justification of our village I submit! he following statistics: ! At present the population of our| village is exactly 49 souls; nineteen | of this number are females. Of the! male population of 30, only three are >f military age (18 to 35). These| we the minister, the school teacher | and the gristmiller. Within a ra-| lius of two miles of the village there ire 173 persons, 84 being females. ! ){ the male population of 89, only 17 ire of military age (18 to 35), eight f these being unmarried So much for the size of our village. Now as to pro-German sympathies: Five young men, some born here in! he village, all brought up here, and! iine others from the municipality of Denbigh, have enlisted and are at the ront or in training; two of these are f German descent. One of these wo, Oswald Kellner, has, according! to recent report, given his life on the battlefield for his adopted country.| One other young German enlisted last spring, and after three months' | raining, was discharged. As most | of our young men leave home, their | :nlistment has taken place else- | where, but seven have enlisted from | their homes and were stationed at! Plevna, | That, I think, corrects your infor- | mation as to what has been done by| his village and community for the | 'ause of the country, and I trust that! your sense of justice to the citizens of this community will impel you to rint this letter and correct false im- pressions.
