of deaths from excessive temperature on the steamier route of the Red Sen, will have their effect, no doubt, upon the minds of those people who may be engaged just now in debating the question of two routes from China to Europe To those a numerous company-who have a désire to sea the American continent and who may have had a taste of the weather and temperature between this and Suez, doubtless the trip. by Yokohama, and the Pacific will commend itself; but as a ret-off against this, the Red Sea voyageurs have the delightful opportunity of passing through southern Europe, and there seeing, gratis or nearly so, the wanders of Pompeii and Herculaneum, of coursing over the Simplon, of ascending (at the cost of ten cents) the world-renowned linn of Vesuvius, and finally, of visiting Vienna, Milan, Florence, Rome and Paris. Of the two continents, the American and European, in the scale of summer temperature honours are about equally divided, but we think there can be no question as to which is the most interesting, Take the journey, for example, from San Francisco tu, New York; after passing the "divide" of the Sierra Nevadas, and the towering precipices of Cape Horn, there is little of engrossing interest till Niagara is reached, for as Dickens very truly remarked, the great American continent is very much, even to this day, of a great primeval wilderness, and as for its cities, they are, in too many cases, but
Indifferent copies of Liverpool and London, However, a long residence in Hongkong, and it may be an enervated condition of the system, will doubtless turn the scale dead against all ideas of the Red Sea voyage, whatever luxuries
uay be immediately behind it.
As to the number of deaths from heat apoplexy in India, and also in the passage of the Red Sea, there are many strong reasons for believing that they occur not so much from the direct causes of excessive temperature, as from others over which the unfortunate victimis frequently have an un- doubted control. Riotous living, or a neglect of those observances as to what a man shall properly eat and drink, have assuredly had more to do in those numerous cases of heat apoplexy than the ordinary superficial thinker would suppose. In the very worst and hottest parts of India, Englishmen have lived for twenty-fire to thirty years, and have returned to their native-land at last, not only in perfect health but actually with a ruddy complexion and a robustness of physique with which they had never before been endowed As to suh strokes, the person who subjects his body to the fierce ness of the sun's rays will assuredly fall a victim, and from an attack on the back as readily as from one on the head, for the enclosures of the vertebral column are possibly nothing more than the spinal continuation of the brain. Through ignorance of this fact, hundred of Europeans In India, and of seamen in the Red Sea, have lost their lives. But man can live in higher tem- peratures than were ever experienced on the ocean route between Aden and Suez. On the shores of the Persian Gulf the ordinary summer shade temperature is 106 degrees (Farenheit) and in Bushire, the thermometer at the British consulate has been known to register as high as ris at midnight. By the observance of care and by the exercise of oldinary sagacity, man can exist in extremes of heat and cold which quickly terminate life in all other animals. We have convincing proofs of this in the scientific works of Sir David Brewster, particularly in "Letters on Natural Magic, inthe experiments of M. Tillet, in France, and also in the anecdotes of Sir Charles Blagden wo find that men have frequently existed in a temperature of 340 degrees. Sir Charles Blagden sives an account of going himself into a room, the heat of which exceeded 160 degrees, when the only bodily change experienced was a rising of the pulse to 144 beats a minute In order to prove that the thermometer was making no mistake, our experimenter had steaks cooked and eggs roasted upon an iron plate, laid on the floor of the rooms At Rou chefoucault, in France, it was found that girls who were accustomed to attend to the ovena of a great public bakery were capable of endur ing, for ten or twenty minutes, a temperature of 270, which is 58 degrees higher than that of boiling water. The model room of Sir Francis Chantrey, or the furnace in which he dried his moulds, was an apartment 14 feet by 12, and when this place was raised to its highest temperature of 350 degrees, the iron floor soon became red hot. Into this room the sculptor and his workmen frequently had to enter in carrying models in, and bringing them out; yet although their wooden clogs, shod with icon, frequently caught fire, the men themselves suffered no serious injury after being engaged in such business for years. There are, in fact, so many evidences of this kind that we may safely infer that many of the deaths from sunstroke which occur in China or in India, are due to an influence other than of the simple passage through, or over the body, of caloric,
These and many other analogous facts are sufficient to demonstrate our main assertion that travelling, like living, in a warm temperature, is not injurious to robust health, provided due atten- 'ilon is paid to diet, hygiene and general comfort,

Drury-Lowe took put, Lord Wolseley con. gratulated. Sir Archibald Alison ind connected with it on, the success of the Aldershet, Military Society, an institution from which both offices and non-commissioned officers would gain valuable technical know- ledge. In the lecture which Colonel Bracken-kin hury had delivered he was very pleased to observe the lecturer did not assume that the
working and tactics of artillery were beyond the His experience, had ordinary understanding taught him that the details of artillery discipline were as easy to acquire as those of
any othe branch of the service. Mention had been made that too much attention was given to the polish- ing of the guns and harscis, With reference to that he would tell them of an impression of Aldershot which came upon him on his visiting. the camp alter an absence for about 12 ms. After leaving the railway station he was makingg his way to the Adjutant-General's effice, and passed the artillery barracks, and there at the door stood a man in his shirt-sk eves, hukling in his bands a cloth containing those ever bright collar chains. His, impression was that althe, same door 12 months back stord a man-he' would not say the same man-but he was doing exactly the same thing. In his opinion a great deal of valuable time was wasted in the way he had described, and he could not help thinking that if the time spent in burnishing and pipe claying was devoted to teaching the men the practical uses of their weapons, they would be of far greater value on the battlefield. It had been, said that the battery that was smart in appear. ance and other detail would be smart in the field. He would sooner put matters the other way about, and say that the battery that was smart in shooting would be smart in other ways, Officers of all branches of the service had spoken, and each expressed confidence in his particular branch in combat with artillery. He was pleased to bear it. It was a feeling that was only proper for commanders to have, and should be imbued in the men. His idea was that the moral effect of artillery are was greater than the positive, and the figures brought forward by the lecturer should bring home to the soldier that the practical result of the fire was not, afterall, to be so much dreaded. A point that he was sorry no mention had been made of was the probable influence of machine and quick-firing guns on operations in the future. With what is known of them at present, onc cannot but conclude that they will play an important part in battles of the future, What will perhaps, affect the use of field artillery is onc that has been invented capable of a range of 4,000 yards, which cannot but cause some startling changes not only in artillery tactics, but in those of other arms. Lord Wolseley concluded by thanking Colonel Brackenbury for his interesting lecture-The proceeding ter- minated by Sir A. Alison proposing a vote of thanks, to Lord, Wolseley: for his presence and remarks, which was accorded unanimously.— News of the World.
