'w•h no other shies were nearby and e gaged izi an extraordinary duel, whi has been 'called the Battle of the Ha stacks. Never have two ships wi emit towering upper works stood and tried to butter each other pieces with gunfire. The first news we bad of the e moment, says the captain of t ,British cruiser Cornwall, was a wir less that Capt. G--•-- sent out sayi that he had sunk the Cap Trafalga but that as his bridge was burned, steering gear shot away and all h navigating instruments destroyed, would be glad to have some one coin and tell him where be was and lea him to ae place where he could, so speak, lie down and lick his wouh for a while. It took a jolly bit 'searching to find a ship that could tell any more about itself than tha but we finally sighted her ragged si houette and led her to such a have as our rendezvous afforded. Poor 0-- had lost a good de more than his steering gear, for t fire that had consumed his bridge h, also gutted his cabin and reduc everything in it to Cinders except a old Norfolk jacket. As G--- was about three times the girth of an other British officer in those water et the time, the wardrobe we tried t get together for him was a grotesqu combination. He cut a weird figs on the battered old Campania, bu there wasn't ops of us who wouldn have changed places with him—Nor folk and all—if we could have ha half his luck. A Fight to a Finish. Both ships, according to G---' account, began firing as •soon as the came in range. In the midst of th fight a German shell struck the cap tain's Cabin and started the fire tha spread to the. bridge, destroying th n.-\ i sting instruments and ultimate ly made it impossible for the com mender to remain there. To redue the tremendous draft that was faun s,, the flames, G----dtea led the Car nvuiia "down the wind." Nothing else \. ould have staved her. Except for ono thing, that would have enabled the now tliat•oeeitly worsted (aI- t' to h 0— thin"t know it) Cap ' tt d ,•ar to withdraw fh•on1 the ac - (ten, The German ship hersc f was en f i e and had to tar, , the same c: •-e wlily-nilly.

"If. I wanted to open the range a bit," he said, "1 had to nip for'ard, wait till there was an interval in both gunfire and shield -burst, and yell down a hatchway to the engine room to "`Slow port!" Or if I suddenly :found at imperative to open the distance, I had to make the same journey and glass word down to 'Stop starboard!' X etas racking my brain for some plan of action to follow when our failing supply of shells became exhausted; suddenly the Clap Trafalgar began to heel sharply and started to sink, It Was our second or third salvo,. which had holed her badly at the water line, that did the business." Down in the surgical roonh the sur- geon had just finished amputating and s.ndagihig a gunner's hand when someone shouted ;into the door of the <dressing station that the German ship 'Was going down. The wounded sailor crowded to port just in time to see one of the last salvo's from the Car-. hepenis go crashing into the side of the eling enefny. "Humor, boys!" he Shouted, "If I 'ad as many 'ands as an oktypuss, I'd 'l' giv'n 'am all far the joy of puttin' that blinkin' pyrit 4OWn to Davy Jones."

One of the interesting passengers by the Princess Juliana, who arrived at Ottawa recently, was Sergt. F, Web- ster of Ottawa, who enlisted in the first few days of the war, and wont to Prance with the 2nd Battalion. He was gassed and taken prisoner at the second battle of Ypres, and interned in Giessen Camp. Of this camp it is. said that it was ono of the worst in Germany, and the hardest to get out of. There were eight barbed wire electrified entanglements around it, and the only chance of eseape was to burrow rabbit -fashion under the wires, "But on more than one occasion some 1 poor chap basy burrowing was dis- covered by the guards, and invariably the opening was closed and sealed; the was buried alive and left to die." Sergt. Webster says: "I have seen one Englishman knocked down by five Germans, and his face smashed in by live rifle -butts crashing upon it alingst at o'te time." The socr,nd time Sorgt. Webster at- tempted to escape he managed to get about 1.30 kilometres toward the Dutch frontier, when he was taken prisoner by a game -keeper.

This year the farm garden will b an important factor in reducing th cost of living. Aceordingiy, ever precaution should be taken to pre vent a failure of garden crops. 1 those areas where natural rainfall i not dependable, ecnte simple method of irrigation should be prhvicded. The farm windmiil will servo faith fully and well in lifting water for irrigation if given an opportunity This faithful source of power will not nava the garden unless the owner ro- operate.s in conserving the water pumped. The average windmill lifts water intermittently end at a slow rate, Consequently;, if the water pumped is :Allowed to flew directly onto o tlz e warm, dry soil, a .mall area only can be satisfactorily covered. A small trickling flow does not spread laterally over the surface, but perm - laths deeply into the soil and beyond the roots of the shallow -rooted veege- tabies, If the water lifted, on the other hand, is stored in tanks, barrels, or reservoirs, a volume sufficiently large can be seeured in a surprisingly prisingly short time to irrigate effectively a much larger area. A barrel -of water (un- taining 311 gallons will cover a garden bed six feet wide by eight feet long, one inch deep. A quantity of water even as as this, small if pro-, perry applied, will greatly help the lettuce bed or the shallow -rooted rad- ishes. It iri advisable, therefore, to use even an ordinary barrel for story age if nothing Inger is available. A reservoir sufficiently large to hold all of the water the average windmill can pump in three or four days is much more drrsirable. The ordinary stock tank made of wood, steel, or concrete would serve well A tank five feet tdt op holds enough water to cover an area fifteen feet Wide by forty feet long and two Inches deep. In a day of average wind the farm windmill will more than fill a tank of this size with water. SuroI,v try a "Daucprice I1 cleanse" if 3'ou wish to immediate double the beauty of your hair.
