UNDER CANVAS,
THE VOLUSTRIRI IN CAMP.
As reported on Saturday night the Hongkong Volunteers went into camp at Stonecutter' Talaud on Saturday for the annuziscourse of las. fraction. A number of the men and the guns and camp gear had been taken down previously. As before stated the band played the Corps down to the "trooper," and going ́down the fifers and drummers unlivened the trip, but Big Dermmer Woolf had to slow down owing to the broɔkaga of one of his sticks. The old familiar "British
Grenadiers," (by the way, never heard better than when played by a file and drum band) was played when the coups marched into camp. The boys had nothing to grumble at; thele tents were floored, they had not the old-time “donkey's breakfvat" hat goad comfortsbis mattressta and pillows, and, lnstand 'ol each teat orderly having io rush off with a tin dish for bla camrades' racfone, there was a big marquee to dine lo and |" boys" to walt upon yan.

TN the Raisin workly Neďzijka, a pastor of the onthedux cherch describes a terrible industry cated on by professional beggars in South Russia. From his article it appears that these beggars practice a wholesale malation of children in order to be able to exhibit them maimed and that excite the plly of passers by. The following is one of the typical cases fustanced by the waiter:"A little girl, eight years of age, was stolen from her home by beggart, gigged, and carried into a cellar, || Here she heard them discussing whether they should make ter bilad or cut off her hands and fest. Finally they decided to make her blod, w ich they accomplished by putting pitch on her face and setilog Be to it.

The camp looked very him and rest yes'er- day and those who bid guard and sentry duly on the night before seemed to have weathered the elements in goed style. There was come pary drill on Saturday night at 5 o'clock, and the rala was a very discomforting alement.

THE ROYAL Institution lectura on "Diamonds," ❘ by Sir William Crookes, F.R.5., was recently pabl'shed in the Chemical News, and, though written in a pular style, is perhaps the best seteatific treatise on the diamond ever written. According to Crookes, the gem was formed by carbon c.ystallising out to molten iron below the surface of the earth under great pressure. Į Water, finding lis way down to the hot iron, steam was generated and burat a vent hole or pipe to the surface, in which rocks, petrolcm, diamonds, &c., were 'churned a
