THE TRAIN,
Egilipped by the Central Branch of Rat -
alb, Red, cams Committee,
In wer times it is sometimes necessary
to transfer sale and wounded readiere
from one point to another, and cars are
often converted. into improvised hose
vitals for this purpose.
Ordinary •coachee and even box cars
have been transformed into rolling hos-
pitals for the reception, care and inecle
eat treettneut of the sick and wounded,
but these methods are fax front ideal,
and, have never proved riatisfactory.
To Obviate these untoward conditions
&wing the Boer war the Central Britisle
Red Cross committee decided to raise
sufficient funds for building, and equip-
ping n complete hospital train. This un -
derailing Was made all ale more difficult
since the railways in South Africa, are
narrow gauge, with heavy grades and
single tracks, and where it was desirable
to llama a train of at lest ten cars the
number was limited by these conditions
to seven.
The cites were designed by Sb John
lairley, of the Central British Red Cross
coinmittee, and the Neared for their
construction was given to the Military
Equipment Company of London, and the
ears were built by the leirminghein
Rail-
rond Wagon Company; under ordinary
ciraunstance,s the work of building and
equipping the complete trainevould have
remered eight or ten months, but the
enthusiasm ran so high, not only among
the• officers of the wagon convene', but
the employes as well, that the seven
cars were finished complete in every de-
tail in just ten week.
The train completed was made up of,
seven bogie, corridor cars -that is to say,
cars which were of the vestibule type, as
we call them in this country,were mount.
ed, on trucks having four or more wheels,
by which the rounding of curves is fa-
cilitated. Each car measured thirty-six
feet long and. eight feet wide. The first
car contained three compartments, the
.first being used fax lifien and stores, the
second for two hospital officers, and thee
third. for two nurses.
The second car contained the same
number of similarly arranged rooms, one
for two medical officers, the middle sera
ing as a dining room,. and the third as a
dispensary. The next feur.cars were ar-
ranged for the invalid soldiers, and each
car had a capacity for eighteen men and
one hospital orderly. The last car was
arranged fax the trainmen, and contain-
ed a neatly appointed kitchen, a pantry T
and berths for the cooks. Every car had
a closet, a lavatory, lockers fax stores.
and a cistern for water.
The lifting and. moving of the invalids
is not an easy matter, and. as an aid to
this difficult operation and. delicate task
an arrangement comprising a series of
sliding pulleys is placed in the roof so
that an assistent may easily raise the
bed with the patient on it to the proper
height and swing it in or out of the car
or move it about lit pleasure.
Portable steps arid an awning are pro-
vided so that invalids may be sheltered
weile being transferred from stretchers
or beds to the train. These cars are
fully equipped. with every essential for
the maintenance of the full complement
of ninety-seven persons for two or three
weeks,,
The cars are handsomely finished in-
side and out. In the centre panel on
either side of every car there is an em-
bellished Red Cross on a white back -
ground encircled by the words "Princese
Christian Hospital Train" in royal blue
and gold; thearain was named in honor
of her Royal Highness, who had. evinc-
ed a keen and active interest hi all that
appertained to the work of providing
succor to the sick and wounded soldiers

Two Large African Lakes Have Recently
Disappeared.
It is reported through scientific jour-
nals that Lake Sitirwa, southeest of
Lake Nyassa, in Central Africa, has en-
tirely disappeared. Desiccation has been
going on for many years, but the last
stages in the process were very rapid.
This lake used to be sbown'on the leapt

miles long and 10 to 15 miles wide. It

Lage Ngaini, also discovered by Living-

changes, scientists conclude, seem to be

which is going on in Centarl Africa, and
it is important that they should. be more
carefullyetudied before any definite con-
clusions are drawn.

DREARY LIFE OF POOR IN RUSSIA.
As e rule, a Russian village is a for-
lorn looking place, where the huts of the
peer are made of birch logs, with upright
oak or pine supports, ceiling of strips
of the same bircit and walls lime with
crude branches, In these huts there are
only two rooms, one of which is not fax
everyday use, but is kept for best occa-
sions. This room houses those sacred
images So dear to the heart of every
member of the Greek Church, to which
belong the great mass of the Russian
people.
The other room serves the purpose of
both kitchen and sleeping room, at one
of the principal ideas of comfort to these
people, ice raid snowbound fax so many
months of the year, is warmth. In many
of the peasant huts, no beds are used,
and the top of a» great stove, reaching
nearly to the roof, is a much sought
place. Although the conditions make
dirt and accompanying results inseparte
ble ill the life of these peasants, ahoy
are devotedly fond of bathing. The
