KRUGER'S GOLD SEIZED. CABLE FROM ROBERTS. GUERILLA WARFARE. THE KHEDIVE IN LONDON. ’ Mr. James Simpson. Newcomb Mills, ‘ Northumbofland County. 0nt..wtitu: The wheels. for ordmary road. have rivited to them stripe of tees. about 5 inches across and 2 inches high. form- ing regular teeth. giving an excellent bit on the ground; for very soft ground special spuds are provided. which section at T iron. about 5 inches deep. flanged to hook over the edge of the wheel rim, and so arranged as to be put on or taken off quickly and readily. For still softer ground. e. rope is provided. by means of which. when fastened to any fixed object ahead. the'engine CAN PULL ITSELF ALONG. The boiler. engine and gears are 111-- closed in one quarter inch nickel-steel plates. capable of resisting the small- arm bullet at 20 feet, stopping shrapd nel or shell fragments. For these reasons England had six such traction trains constructed. each consisting of one armored engine and 4 bullet-proot cars. 2 of which were recently completed and tested. In the test the care were loaded with pig iron to represent the load to be car- ried oneervice. and two 6-inch howâ€" itzers were hooked on at the end of the train. making the load behind the engine thirty-three tons. With this load the engine found no difficulty in ascending a hill as steep as 1 to 13. The engineer has only two narrow slits on each side of the tire box as peep-holes for observation in steer- ing. nevertheless, he took part 0! the train. one car and a howitzer drag- ging behind it. over a newly ploughed field and through a gate only ten- inches wider than the engine. The cars are designed to take a 6- inch breechvloading howitzer and its limber inside. or a 4.7-inch gun. It the guns are dragged along behind. the cars are used to carry ammuni- tion. 100 rounds {or howitzer or 125 for 4.7-inch gun. each. The cars are promoted by 14-inch vertical armor. and 3â€"16-inch side armor. inclined at 30 degrees. For loading and unload- ing each ear is provided with two in- clined ramps of heavy steel. The SUBJECT TO CAPTURE. even by the enemy‘s raiding parties. that they require a convoy 0t tr00ps to protect them. If. however. they were armored. the gun detachment: of the guns transported. or in case other material is transported. of guns specially mounted. could protect them- selves. and artillery would be requir- ed for their capture. But a train protected against rifle tire is still of great service in ‘war; therefore England decided last fall to have a number of armored traction trains constructed for service. As they go across country they are not confined to the railroad lines. and so they cannot be so easily awaited or taken when seen. Armored Traction Train l’velved Fro-ti Armored Railroad halls. i It has been found. in the war in“ South Africa. that the armoured trains run on the permanent railroad tracks have not proved so efficient as was expected. This is due mainly t0“ the fact that the Boers were able to locate them so readily. since they were, of course, confined to the rail- roads. After destroying the road- way at any point, they could at once locate their guns to cover the. points where the armored train would be stopped, and prepare to destroy it on its arrival; for armored trains are protected only against small-arm fire. it having been found impracticable as yet to protect them against artillery fire. the Germans moving their seige guns around Meiz by their aid. In the war in South Africa they have had more extended application. but when un- protected by armor they ere so easily Here are reported three cases in which Dr. Chase's family remedies proved a blessing v1 incalculable worth.

Your nervw will be quieted. and when you are tired you can drop at once into a comfortable chair." In the interval of time since then the railway has been carried down to the north side of the mountains, and the French posts have been pushed south along the natural route to 1310. and the oasis of That without regard to the artificial paper frontier. The process has brought them into contact with tribes who acknowledge only s shadowy allegiance to the Sultan OI Morocco, but are at the same time willing to accept his help in tRESlSTING TEE INVADEBS. Whether the matter becomes a mat. ter 0! international interest depends on whether the French Government chooses to treat Moorish peo- ples as a casus belli, or re. lying on its power to put down their opposition, deals with them ex- clusively. In the latter case. the French will probably profit by the cir- cumstances to push their posts as far to the westward as is prudent, avoidv ing treSpassing on the Moorish tore ritory proper. How far westward this policy would carry them is uncertain, as there are varying shades of allegiv anoe to the Moorish Sultan acknow- [edged by the eastern tribes. The French aim is undoubtedly to carry the eastern frontier of Algeria forward to the Moulouye River; the 0013' question is whether there may not be some other European power having views on that part of the coast oi Morocco also. Germany certainly has been credited with desiring zeta. tion at the mouth of the Mouiouye :0 long as fifteen years ago. Should, however, the French be snot- ing a quarrel with the Sultan at Mor- occo, the question becomes one of inâ€" ternational importance, and one in which the British Government would almost perforce be involved, owing to its own pretensions to the right of re-entry into the Province of Tungieu, based upon the treaty of retrocession to the Sultan of Morocco in the reign of King Charles 11. A war against Morocco on the part of France could therefore, hardly fail to bring Engâ€" land into the field. One woman who. after a serious illness which terminated in nervous prostrulion, found herselt 'the pos- sessor of forty pounds of flesh in addition to her usual weight. asked the physician how she could safuly dispose of them. She was not strong enough to ride a wheel or take long walks, and day by day she gained flesh in her enforced laziness. How far It is the desire of the French Government tu provoke Eng- lish intervention in Morocco, or to take advantage of the situation in South Africa in the belief that the British Government’s hands are al- read‘y too full, will be determined by the way in which it treats the dispute with the tribes, whether as a question solely between it and them, or as one in which the Moorish Sultan as their euzemiu is involved. An eminent physician says that some of his patients huvo; rid them- selves of many pounds of superfluous flesh by the use of the skipping-rope. PL 1'} A SA NT PR ESC R 1 PTION FRANCE AND MOROCCO.
