One often finds the most unexpec- ted things when on patrol in No Man's Land, says a British soldier. In May of this year 1 was in a part of the line opposite a pretty little vil- lage. Midway between our line and the village was a trench. We know the Bache occupied the village, but it was unknown whether he came forward and occupied this trench at night- time. My patrol order was to recon- noitre the trench and report if there were any signs of occupation. I did ;snot find any Huns, but what I did find were three almost new push- ing is the employment of electric welding to replace riveting for a large portion of the ship's structure and the fact that Lloyd's Register of Shipping, after a good dual of experi- mental work on the subject, has pro- mulgated tentative regulations for the use of electric welding in ships built under their survey gives proof that this process is not, if due pre- cautions are observed, at variance with sound technical practice. Electric welding is not of course any novelty in the shipyard. It has been employed in ship repair work for many years past, but its use has been mainly confined to parts of a ship, such as the stern post and rudder, which are not likely to be exposed to important structural stresses, and it is only during the war period that bicycles, which I and the lance-cor- such developments have taken place poral and man who accompanied me in electric welding as would appear pushed proudly back to our line, to to justify the extension of such a me - the pleasure _ and amazement of our thod to replace riveting in - heavy structeral work. ' comrades. A little further along the line a Y.M.C.A. hut stood between our line • ncl the Boche. It had evidently been left in a hurry, for though there was no money in the till—when I got there —tons of fruit and fish and note paper and soap, etc., were still piled behind the counter. Every patrol that went out visited that hut, and if there was no enemy patrol about—or if there was, it was always driven back—brought back to the line either some tinned stuff to supplement the next days rations, or a writing pad to write home on, or something useful. Tlie battalion ori our right found a lebor regiment's quartermaster's stores in No Man's Land. That, too, had been left fully stocked. The con- sequence was a large patrol was sent out, bundles of khakitunics to and slacks, also caps, boots, etc., were brought back, and everyone in that battalion was issued with a new suit the next time they came out of the line. When trench warfare ceases for the moment, and a war of movement follows, there is quite a hunt—the hidden treasure excitement in patrol- ling. Stray horses are sometimes found, which will earn you the trans- port officer's undying gratitude; enemy maps and log -books, which will rlease the calorie]; and I did hear that when the Boche went back on Lent. in 1917 a little two-seater mo- tor car waa found in one of the vil- lages we captured.

New Brunswick has adopted a vol- untary rationing scheme for the homes of her people. This plan was prepared in conference of representa- tives of local food committees, wo- men's institutes and domestic science teachers. It was revised and ap- proved by the Canada Food Board. Similar plans are being formulated in the other provinces, revised i» certain minor details to fit local con- diticns. analyses were also made to determine if a sound junction could be effected between the original and added met- als. As already indicated, the tensile strength of the welded material was found to be quite satisfactory, and although the tests indicated that riveted material is superior under some of the other stresses, the figure at which the welded material would fail is believed to be well within the range of the strains actually experi- enced. Labor Difficulties. It has been stated that electric welding will probably make demands on a new source of labor, and it will be necessary to pay special attention to the training of these men, as it has been shown that where failures have occurred in welded work they have been the result rather of want of experience on the part of the work- man than any defect in the system itself. It is this consideration which has led to somewhat stringent regu- lations by Lloyd's Register to govern the application of electric arc weld- ing to ship construction. The system of welding must com- ply -with the regulations and tests laid down by the committee, who must also be satisfied that the operators engaged have been specially trained, while efficient supervisors must be provided. A point is made of the fact that the result of the experiments which have been made represent skil- led practice, and that such perform- to use a crutch for 14 months.

An interesting incident of the first Canadian railway, which ran from Lapralrle on the St. Lawrence River to St. Johns on the Richelieu, under the name of the Champlain & St. Lawrence Railway, is related hi Prout's Railways of Canada. Tho fleet locomotive used on the line came from Europe, accompanied by an engineer who, for some unex- plained reason, had it caged and se- creted from public view. The trial trip was made by moonlight in the presence of a few interested persons, and it is not described as a 'success. Later, the imported engineer made several attempts to set the Kitten— for such was the nickname applied to this pioneer locomotive—in motion toward St. Johns, but in vain, the engine proved refractory, and horses were temporarily substituted for it. Meanwhile, the railway officials called in a practical engineer, who an- nounced that the engine, which was thought to be hopelessly unmanage- able, was in goad order and required only plenty of wood and water. His a correct, for after opinion proved little practice the engine attained the extraordinary speed of twenty milee an hour! Drtnard's xdnidnont Cares Distemper.
