No modification of the peace terms being sought for, General Botha would have us believe that the sole object of the thres Generals in visiting Enghud was to obtain immediate help for the distressed burghers. They were oppressed by the misery of their people. The farms and agriculture, which made the two South African countries all that they were sud had, no longer exist. Cattle and implements, without which work cannot be resumed., are gene. The woeinl desolation which the war has brought in its trala is intense and widespread.” Therefore, relying upon the generosity of the people whose warm sympathies, assuming the shape of material help. go out spontaneously," they come to Bugland to plead for funds, They were fold that the financial question was not to be reopened; or in other words, thera were limits to the generosity of the British Government in spending Imperial funds for the repair of losses caused by General Bolba's own criminal prolongation of a bopoless resistanco Apparently this loudly professed confidence in [3405 the warin sympathy" of the British people immediately evanesced. No appeal was made in the United Kingdom, although General Botha avers his belief that if the bulk of Englishmen realised the pitiable state of our men, women and children we should leave no nead to put our appeal in words."

MARCONI SYSTEM EXTENDING.

The first experiment was made in October on a siecial train' bearing delegates to the forty- enth annual convention of the American Association of General Passeurer and Ticket Agents held in Portland St. Dominique was selected as the transmitting station and the train was kept in complete touch with the station for ten miles. The officials of the Grand Trunk who were on the frain expressed the opinion that the experiment want for faward demonstrating the practicability of establish- ing constant communication between moving trains and the telegraph stations ahead of them aaralan in the rear.

The possibilities of such communication with respect to the safety of train aperation are gl most boundless. It would practically munka wrecks from collisions impossible and pornit of informing engineers on moving trains of any damage to the track ahead of them. The con- seat saving in the cost of damages would in grast, to say nothine of the saving of life and the prevention of injury.

The experiment was made in the presence of several scientifle men. One of there was H. T. Birses of the McGill University, who, with- others, expressed himself as convinced that; communication between moving trains and stations could be maintained successfully,

Train service is not the only important Can- adian innovation with wireless telegraph. C. C. Greenshield, solicitor of the Marconi Wire- leas Telegraph Company, ennounces that the company is about to establish a system of wireless telegraphy sereas the Dominion of Canada, connecting Victoris with Cape Breton. He said that not only would the Company operate a system of wireless telegraph over the to Victoria. ocean, but also a land line from Cape Breton
