"A dog's life." That is tho way
the naval officer of years and ex-
perience describes existence in a
torpedo boat destroyer.
Tho work is hard; tho food often
atrocious when the vessel is at sea,
for the simple reason that in any-
thing like rough weather it is im-
possible to cook or oat a meal in
any comfort; the [notion is harass-
ing and violent -so harassing and
violent that it used some years ago
to be a favorite pastime in torpedo
vessels whenever they put to sea
to arrango a sweepstake in the lit-
tle wardroom, the prize going to
the officer who drew the name of
the last victim to succumb.
The space below dock is cramped
and confined, intensely hot in sum-
mer, bitterly cold in winter, for
the plates of the vessel aro of the

One Thousand British Soldiers Taken in

A despatch from London says:
An interesting experiment was
made by the War Office on Wed-
nesday to demonstrate the utility
of the automobile as a means of
rapid military transport to supple-
ment the resources of the railroads.
Acting on the assumption that a
hostile army had landed at Hast-
ings, and that the railroad was
blocked with troop trains, a reliev-
ing force of 1,000 men with full war
kit and guns was proved to the
scene by automobiles. Some 500
machines, loaned by members of
the automobile club, picked up the
sten and their accoutrements at
the various barracks and conveyed
them to the Crystal Palace, whence
the start was made. The machines
travelled at, tho rate of twenty
miles an hour over the hard frozen
roods towards Hastings. The light-
er cars with .the men took the lead,
leaving the heavier vehicles with
the guns and stores to bring up the
rear. Great crowds gathered along
the route of the run to watch the
column, which was over a mile
long., At Ilastings the cars wore
drawn up on the sea front.

Fifth Victim of Windsor Depot
Wreck at Montreal.
A despatch from Montreal says:
Mark Cunningham, tho engineer of
the Boston train, which on Wed-
nesday crashed through the wall of
the ladies' waiting room of the
C. P.R. Windsor street depot, and
tore its way into the general wait-
ing room, wrecking a large portion
of the station, died at the General
Hospital on Thursday morning at
7.45, making the fifth victim of the
accident. The fireman, Louis Craig,
and the other victims, were report-
ed to be making good progress,
with tho exception of John Kozhar,
u Russian immigrant, who is suf-
fering from a fracture of the skull,
and who is still in a critical condi-
tion.
Tho work of elea-ing up the de-
bris in the Windsor station is pro
ceoding but slowly. The greater
part of the fallen masonry had been
removed, but the wreck of the en-
gine is lying just as it was. It is
the intention of tho engineers in
charge of the work to lay temporary
tracks on which to run tho wreck-
ed locomotive out after shoving up
the girders from below. This will
take three or four days. It is a

"There aro less than 1,000 big and

about 2,000 dogs. The dog sleds
and toboggans are the only thing
they have to move with; never a
horse or ox.
"They never have vegetables un-
less eating with a white man.
Every tribe could raise vegetables
at their summer camps if they
would. They have good soil and
every chance to raise radishes,
lettuce, cabbage, turnips and
spuds, as white men are raising all
of these here for market and their
own use.
"The tribes are small, from
twelve to fifteen families; they aro
found in places from 100 to 200
miles twilit. They live near a
stream or lake when at home; but
when winter comes they go for fur
and meat. They travel all winter
with the whole family outfit of kids,
dogs, squaws and some old people,
going from 200 to 500 miles on these
winter trips, generally in a great
circle.
"They stay a few days in a place,
build new camps and make new
trails and find new game. They
live on meat they kill and fish they
catch with nets. When good luck
comes with meat or fish in plenty
they dry and smoke a large quan-
tity and put it in log pens where
noth ng can get to it. This pen is
called a cache.

times of the year, except directly
after selling their winter catch in
March; after that they have plenty
to eat, so what is the use of trap-
