Pending this examination Habibullah Khan did a little detective reasoning. Going on a theory advanced by Anna Catherine Green. Sherlock Holmes, and M.

The Sultana Halina wants her son, Mohammed Omar Jan, to reign as Ameer instead of Habibullah, as the latter's mother was but a slave girl and not of royal birth. According to strict Oriental etiquette, this was ressun enough for Habibullah to bow string Halims when he secured the throne, but, being a 'wild matnered man, he permitted her to live, and even gave her luxurious palace to dwell in.

ed; in this country the Vickers Company have consistently worked to establish its enperiority. From these considerations it results that a 12-in. gun-which in 1901, under certain conditions of range and obliquity of impact, might be considered as fairly matched by 12-in. plate--can now deal with 15-in, or 16-fo, plates on much the same terms as its prototypes did with the thinner armour. Making allowance for the effect of protective sloping deck and of the coal behind the armour in the region of the machinery space, it is shown that the total resistance in the King Edward class is equal to 19 in. of Krupp stool. This, however, can be pierced with the greatest case by an old type 12-in. shot at over 6000 yards range, while the 9.2-in., or the German 9.4-in., would, if it hit exactly normal, sond a capped shell into the engine-room or barbette at between 3000 and 4000 yards range. Thus the King Edward class, it is. said, will barely keep out capped shot from the 9,2-in. gun at moderate range.
An examination of the situation shows that the range of piercing

Hay, 4 ft. above the water-level to the top. This tapering under the water-line is al ready applied in the French and American ships. It is not approved, however, by Sir William White, because, as pointed out in Engineering, a ship which rolls through & deg, to 10 deg. is apt to expose the bull under the armour; while as Sir William further points out, wave formation at high speeds may bring about similar exposure. Some authorities on armour, on the other hand, prefer to take the chance of a blow under the normal water line, as this part cannot be hit unless the shot has traversed some water. In nearly all the battleships the broadside is now tapered in thickness from Home distance above the water-line to the upper duck; but it is contended that in the British ships the maximum thickness need not be carried quite so far above the water. lino. In order to increase the thickness of the helt and the armoured sloping deck behind the belt where necessary, weight might be taken, in the case of the King Edward class, at all events, from the arm- our forward, from the upper protective deck, or from the main deck before the foro barbutte, which is some 12 ft, above water and 2 in. to 1 in. thick; even then he admits that an increase in displacement would be necessary.
Belgian Progress.
The industrial story of Belgium, as outlined by Sir Brooke Boothby, Secretary to the British Legation at Brussels, is of remarkable interest to Englishmen ; for, as he points out, there are certain resembl Ances between the two countries, both, for instance, being commonly densely populat- ed and largely dependent on foreign food supplies. The Belgian works for longer bours and for lower wages than the Briton, but he is paid by the hour, so that the cost of labour on the finished article in each country is difficult to compare, evidently depending somewhat on pace. The average daily wages for men is given as from 28. 6d. to 29. Old.; the highest rates in the metal, glass, and other industries being from 38.

The convoys were more numerous, the oxen and mules strain- ing heavily, for it was heavy work with the roads so boggy. Soldiers dragged long linus, miles long, of small military wagons, through the fields, laden with ammunition and food ; ·long convoys of the little carts were returning on the other side of the road, together with lines of broken horses, their backs cut with deep, raw, sores and their logs lamed. In the slight shade of a deserted rail-side barracks, the walls broken and the stockades of railway ties that breasted the thrown-up earth and and all riddled by rifle fire, with abandon od pigeons some Russians had fed fluttering aimlessly about the eaves, a commissariat corps was camped.
