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 in South Africa. -New York Times.

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 as an oval-shaped body of water 30 miles long and 10 to 15 miles wide. It Lake lagarni, also discovered byLiving- ingstone discoveredi the lake n 1859.

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.
