Each ship has a displacement of 12,950 tons, a speed of about eighteen knots, is protected by a six-inch belt, and has its gun positions and deck amply pio- tected. The armament consists ni four 12-in. guns, in barbettes of ten inches of the newest type of armour, and twelve f-in, quick-sijērs, | besides twelve a pounders and six 3-pounders. MR. W. Luker, jus, the artist who selected a tree in St. James's Park as a private stand whence to observe the arrival of Lord Roberts, draws our attention to the painful sequel, says a home paper-mamely, that he was fined 73. with costs, 93, at Bow-street. Dat that is a cheap price to pay for an hour of glo rious popularity. Next to Lord Roberts, Mr. W. Luker, jan, was unmistakably the hero of the occasion; and if Mr. W. Luker, sen,,,was i there, tears of pride must have bedewed his ed eyes. The enterprising artist wishes it also to be known that his drawing appeared in Black and White on January 5. The vulgar expression, "to be up a irce," has evidently a meaning of its own for the seniors and juniors Lof the Luker family.. But they must not do it
too often.

A FIRE took place at about 5.20 this morning at No. 3, East Street. One, cubicle used as a medicine drying room caught fire, but the dames did an extend further. Damage was done to the value of alumi $50. The Fire Brigade extinguished the blaze before it had time to sprend. The inmates clented out as soon as the first signs of fire became evident. A HOME paper of the 24th ulto, says At Birmingham grief and loyalty have found ex. pression in scores of handsome wreaths placed around the Queen's statue. The most touching tribute was a lovely wreath of lilies and fresh violets given by the flower girls of Birmingham. Another striking, manifestation was that of the Italian organ-grinders. Hearing on Monday the grave news of the Queen's illness, they. decided at once to withdraw their organs from
the streets, and they propose to rest also on the day of the funeral.
A BOEK gun has been brought to Woolwich Arsenal from South Africa.

Doxford & Sons, Sunderland, have pasted an interesting diagram on a wall in their shipyard, says Hairplay, showing the amnunt of time lost by the men in the yard during the different months of last year. In the first week of January the wages paid aminanted to £hon, rising to £1,600 in the last week in that month; the other months all showed great variations-Easter, Mafeking. Whitsuntide, Bank Holiday, all showing great decreases in the amount of wages earned. The tollowing note is appended to the diagmm
Your first week's pay for this year is only £620. The yard was only closed for one day, and there was no bad weather: therefore you could have earned £1,500. So you have ab- solutely wasted your time last week to the value of £880.

and the very natural verdict of the jury, blan ing almost everybody concerned except the in- nocent retail beerseller, will intensify concern about the matter. It is very pleasant in a way no doubt, to find a firm's chemist taking another firm's acid on trust "as a gentleman," but scarce- ly so pleasant for the unfortunate persons who suffered from these gentlemanly relations bet ween other people. Altogether, the case makes. it more urgent than ever that the Commission should get to the bottom of this arsenic matter,

He did a good deal of damage in the rooms, and smashed chairs, tables mirrors, and windows in his fearful fit of insanity, He barricaded himself, but the police official of the district managed by clever diplomatic means to get the lunatic to go with him to the infirmary at the depot. The official first knocked at the door leading to the lunatic's rooms and asked for permission to enter. The madman shouted out a stentorian "No!" and said that he was defending the French Legation at Peking. "We are the Allied troops," said the official, and he was at once admitted.

Favier, Bishop of Peking, who wanted to marry the Empress of China, HERE is a new story of the most famous of the Beresfords, told me the other day by an old gentleman whose memory goes back to the beginning of the reign. He remembers asking a servant one morning, sixty years ago, the reason for her delay on an errand, Titte is the explanation he was given: She was walk. ing along the Bayswater Road, when a post. chaise with two post-boys galloped up behind her and suddenly stopped. The boy in front leapt off and opened the door and out jumped: the Marquis of Waterford. "Can you fight?" | he said to the lad. "Yes, my lord,” was the reply and they set to.

OUR readers will probably remember the paragraph we printed some little time ago, describing the escape of the convicts Star and King from Borstal Prison, and the fruitless. efforts of the police to capture them, The Pall Mall Gazette of the 23rd ulto, saysThe capture of the escaped convict King has had nothing dramatic about it in the end. Instead
of a desperate struggle for liberty in the Kentish woods, it has been simply a quiet tapping on the back as he emerged from the public-house at the comer of the Eusion and Hampstead. roads. The most interesting thing is the dis closure now made of the convicts' side of the famous hunt. They reached London on the very first night, as many of us suspected, and while the police were boating the bush and pursuing wild geese, the real men were laugh ing in London as they listened to discussions of their certain miseries in the woods. How far will De Wet's story resemble this when he reveals it at last?
