(Rel'ated by ai, bombardier of the Royal Horse Artillery who has late- ly returned from Flanders.) We were able to do soma great work. There is no finer sight in the world than to see a battery of Horse Artillery going into action ata gallop. We are thought Slays if we take more than 30 seconds in getting to ;work after the signal to unlimber. On one occasion we were firing continuously for. several hours, and used 800 shells. We were "dead on" that time, and must have ac- counted for hundreds. One of our guns was dropping shells near a gap in a hedge which the Germans were trying to rush. It was exeit- ing to watch a score of their in- fantry time after time make a dash for the gap, but never succeed in reaching it. I saw through glasses a troop of our cavalry wiped out when trying to rush a treneh on foot. It was a plu ky charge, but quite hopeless. Two men only reached the top of the ridge. One was shot down, and the single •survit•or, after bending over his comrade to see if he were dead, turned and commenced to walk down the slope. He had nob gone. far' before he also fell. It is wonderful how indifferent our men become to fire and the seen- stant.death around them. It,is a little terrifying at first, but that does not last. It is when we are cub of action, trot still under fire,. that we feel it most. There is time then to think of things, and we do not have the comfort of hitting aback: I saw a good deal of the Indian troops out there. The Pethens and the Sikhs are fearful ,fellows to look at, and they are terrible fight- ers. They are 'll'mvfully proud of themselves, and particularly of their ,arms, which they keep as clean as new pins. It is funny to see them squatting in 'the maid dust- ing specks of dirt off their rifles. 'They are great at close fighting, where they have the advantage over our own men, who sometimes get too close for bayonet work and have to use their fists. But the Ghurkas just puss. the German +bayonets aside, and then leap in with their knives. Their night work is terribly de- moralizing to the enemy.

The French War Office, through its civilian administration, must as- semble, transport and distribute food for nearly 4,000,000 men.

It was necessary, therefore, for Gideon to be sure of his men. He could only use those who would appreciate their danger. Strength and bravery were not the only qualities Which Gideon needed in his men at this time, It was not a question of mass -movement, of simply pouring men into the ranks of the enemy; tt was, primarily, a question of individual initiative, of aoting'upon ;the moment with judg- ment and clear-sightedness. Hence a small army, even a very small army of men, of men who could be left to their own judgment was a better force g fink in. f r for Gideon „ t o than 'a large army, the individual members of which were not able to do their own thinking, but needed to rely upon Gideon to think for them. The men who stood the test which Gideon pttt to them were thinkers, as well as fighters.

GUNS DON'T PRODUCE RAIN. English Scientists Ridicule and Dis- prove the Theory. English scientists have again been compelled to assure the public that neither the smell of powder nor the concussion of the gunfire has the slightest connection with rain- fall, From several sources it had been assea;t-ed that the heavy and persistent rains recently experi- enced in southern England and northern France were attributed to atmospherie disturbances pro duped by artillery fire at the seat of war. "Like the supposed influence of the moon upon weather, the popu- lar belief that powder brings rain is baseless," writes a scientist in the Tinges. "About four years ago the First Lord of the Admiralty was gravely asked in the House of commons whether lie would in- struct the fleet to carry .out its heavy gun practice at some other period of the year than in the mid- dle of harvest time, 'when the re- sultant heavy rains may ealt1e seri- ous loss to the farming community.' The idea is absolutely without foun- dation. Experiments made in lmerica'and on the Continent ehow that in dry weather no amount. of concussion has the slightest effect in the production of ram. "At time present time there is one fact which should at once dispose of the cherished theory. There is no reason for thinking. that gun -firing at the front is more violent than ft was in the earlier stages of the war. The rain should, therefore, have commenced :'hortly after the out- break pf the war, As matter of fact, nothing of the ]rind took place. In August and September the rainfall was mach below the average, "At Shoeburyness, where big guns are being tested almost daily, year in and year out; the average annual rainfall is smaller than In any other part of the United I€ing- dom,'e Perhaps some brides blush be- cause of the kind of husbands they have run .to :comet,.

About Size. of Ontario. Excluding the provinces rearm - gamed in the Soudan, Egypt has an area of 400,000 square milea, just about equal to the area of.the Pro Vince of Ontario; but only fourteen thousand square miles of Egyptian territory are settled. Ana yet on that comparatively small area there is a population of twelve millions. The settled population of Egypt is only one half the extent of New Brunswick, but its popu'latiun is about one-third greater than the population of all Canada. • British Mile. For- almost the third of a century Egypt has practically enjoyed Brit- ish rule, the fruits of which are now being enjuyed by the people of the Ancient Land, Taxation has been reduced. law and order maintained, justice administered, industries fos- tered, great public works eon- strueted, and a general tilrlife of the people brought about. Since the blighting effects of Turkish oppres- sion and corruption have been re- moved, the people of Egypt have enjoyed in peace the fruits of their labor, The ,greater part of those fruits are agricultural, fur fully two-t.h:rdc of the .-opulati•,n are On the land--t!re felin lison, ter .:mall i cultivators, A cleverly devised scheme of financial assistance line enabled thewcultivator's to im- prove then c nsliti ot.
