On the other hand there was a large decrease in the exports to the United Kingdom of over 5 millions, with increases of over half a million to Colonies and of nearly 2 millions to foreign countries.

A plan tation of palagnium gutta was made in the Northern Forest Reserve on the Island. Seeds were obtained from trees growing clout the Waterfall valley, from which some 3,000 plants were grown. Thousands of young stamps have been obtained and kept in nursery for future planting. The Waterfall Gardens have been maintained in their former condition, a new plant-house added, and an addition made to the herbarium,

Much curiosity has been expressed at various times as to whether the young voluntaar wit nessed any actual fighting Not long ago an Athenaeum reviewer pointed out in the popular biographies left this question in abson. rity. The present writer thinks it unlikely that Kitchener took part in any engagement; for he served in a reserve battalion and west, we are told, no farther from Dinan than Lavel or its immediate vicinity. Now, on January 13. 1871, after a three days battle, in a saccersion of Snowstorms, the Deuxieme Armée, badly defeated, retreated from Le Mans, hanzy's desire was to march on Alençon, but by Gambetta's orders ho withdrew towards Lavala Pursued by Von Schmidt, the French fought at various point of their parallel lines of retreat, bat the parait was carrried no further than Taiges, distant about nineteen miles from Laval, where Kitchener's battalion and other forces were stationed.
