New flying machino..
A young Russian named Feodoroff and a young Frenchman named Dupont claim to love invented a flying machine capable of travelling at the rate of 100 miles an hour. It is made of metal and is driven by gas generated from liquids. It can carry one person, and is 50 easily guided that the inventors propose to give an exhibition, when it is to perform evolutions in the air in time to music.
Consible Fronohmen. The group of French residents in London have sent to the morning papers a strongly wonded protest against, the insults levelled by The Libre Parole against the Queen. These insults and the animosity dat gives rise to them they trace to the comments of English papers on the Dreyfus affair.

ing proudly along with a large ham. I got into conversation with one of the Gordons, and he told me that when they commenced-the charge with fixed bayonets, they came across a barbed wire fence that the Boers had throws across their front, and which they (tie, Gordons) did not see until they were on. Unfortunately they had no wire cutters, and the posts had to be pulled up, during which execution they lost very heavily. But, he added, with a smile, when we got well down to it the devils ran like

A Relio from the Sea, The barque Silicon has arrived at New York from the Arctic regions. Her commander, Captain Jansen, reports finding a deserted Russi ship of old-fashioned dosting aimlessly about. He and some of the members of the crew of the Silicen boarded the ship and found the hatches battened down and the doors fastened. They forced an entry and discovered that the vessel had a cargo of furs in fine condition, while the log and letters on board stated that the vessel had been abandoned in 1848. The supposition is that the vessel had reached high latitudes, and having been frozen in by the icebega ever since, had only just thawed out. Captain Jansen possesses many interesting relies brought from the vessel.

Accident to the Bishop of
Manchestor.
A telegram has been, received from Botzen, in Southern Tyrol, announcing that the Bishop. of Manchester, while descending from Peaegal Peak Hotel by the new mountain path to Botzen, met with a bul accident, breaking his collar-bons and sustaining severe injuries to. the head. Dr. Moorhouse, who is eighty-seven years of age, was brought in an unconscions state to fries, near lotzen,
Warlike Preparations. The Admiralty is displaying a marvellous anxiety to have all available" cinisers got ready for the pennant in the sliguest possible space of time. Everything is being hurried on, but, at the same time, nothing is being undertaken in the way of relit that is not absolutely neces sary. Meantime, the depats are well provided with atings, and there is a doubt that an exceedingly formidable group of cruisers could be commissioned at shit notice if the necessity
arose.
A new telephone.
A telephone of a novel character has just been exhibited at the Paris Academy of Science, The inventor, a M. Dussaud, has constructed an apparatus(a Paris.correspondent telegraphis) which receives and registers messages in the absences of the user. Political speeches, busi ness communications, and music-hall songs can therefore, be stored and tapped at will. Ex periments between Paris and Marseilles arc said to augur wide success for the new tele phone.
The Emperor William.
The German Emperor, a Windsor correspon dent telegraphs, who was greatly picased with the arrangements which had been made for his shooting parties in Windsor Great Park, has presented Captain Walter Campbell, Deputy Ranger of the Royal demesne, with a handsome silver cigar case in acknowledginent of the attention which his Majesty had received during his visits to the Park. The Emperor has also presented medals to the park-keepers etuployed during the Imperial shooting panties in the Forest.
Eccentric Club's contribution to the War Fund. The Eccentric Club has made a remarkable contribution to the War Fund. The annual dinner was held an 26th Nov. at the Hotel Cecil. M Charles Wyndham made an interesting speech, in which he touched on the subject so near to every one's heart-the care of the women and the children the Tommy bas left behind him. The first response yielded £450. The fund was restarted on several occasions during the evening by various patriotic gentlemner, and finally the magnificent total of £1,250 was reached,
Serve him right! Hitherto the Government has passed over the efusioris of the extreme section in Ireland with
contempt, but it is obvious that the expression of unpatriotic sentiments are, at any rate, wholly inconsistent with the holding of any public office. On 28th Novrs the Government took action. Mr. Kendal O'Brien, the Nation alist chairman of the Tipperary Council, was removed from tlie magistracy by the Lord Chancellor for recently moving a resolution congratulating the Boers on a "victory" at Glencoe.
French confectionang tabooed. There are indications that Frate will have to pay dear for the ebullitions of disrespect to- wards this country indulged in by the French Press. In the various branches of Pendry's confectionery stores-three at Kensington, three at Hammersmith, and others in the City, Chiswick-the following placard Fulham, and is now exhibited:"England France

The Military Steam Plough. The steam plough invented by Colonel Tem- pler, Director of Military Ballooning and Steum Transport, Royal Engineers, has been given a trial on the Long Valley, near Aldershot, and fully achieved the objects for which it was in- tended. It threw up a four-feet entrenchment at the rate of three miles an hour over very rocky ground. Two of these machines have been sent out for service with the South African Field Force. The machine is so arranged that it will erect works to the right or left, and the picks in front of the ploughshares are so power ful that rocks anil stones are split to pieces and thrown up.
The devils ran like hares." The following appears in a private letter from One of the volunteers at Ladysmith, andis pub. lished by a Natal paper of Octoberz7"I was down the town on Sunday. There was great" excitement over the return of the troops from the fight with the prisoners and loot. Some of the men were carrying three or four Mausers, while nearly every man had secured a highly coloured blanket. I noticed one Gordon march-
A New Battalion.
The Secretary for War has authorised a 3rd battalion of the Scots Guards, whose creation was sanctioned two years ago, to be formed from Friday, Dec. 1. The mucleus of the new bat
alion will be the four surplus companies of the regiment now attached to the 2nd battalion at Chelsea Barracks, and the full strength for the present will be about 450 officers and men, Until the establishment is increased, the bat talion will be under a major in command, with two other majors, two captains, four lieutenants, four second lieutenants, one adjutant, and one quartermaster. By this decision the determina tion to increase the Gitards from seven to nine
battalions will be practically completed, the 3rd battalion of the Coldstream Guards having been perfected some une ago, and the three regiments haying now each three battalions,
The Widening of the Strand. The Improvements Committee of the London County Council report that nearly all the property frosting the Strand between St. Clement Danes church and St.Miry-le-Strand church; and needed for the widening of the Strand, has now been acquired, and they have arranged for the immediate acquisition of the remaining property. They point out that it may not be possible or expedient for some time hence to remove entirely the whole block of buildings lying to the south of Holywell-street, but they can at once arrange for the widening of the Strand to 79 ft.
A Claim Against the Hooley Estate.
Mr. Justice Wright (sitting in bankruptcy) gave judgment upon the application of Sir Henry Isaacs and others to prove for £75,000 against the estate of E. T. Hooley. The claim was far commission in respect of the negotia tion of a loan of four millions which Mr. Hooley was proposing to make to the Spanish Govern meal. The loan was not carried out, but Sir Henry Isaacs contended, nevertheless, he and his associates were entitled to the commission as agreed with Mr. Hooley. The claim was admitted for £200 only, and Sir Henry appealed.
Mr. Justice Wright held that the claim had not been established, nor had Sir Henry isaacs or his associates shown that they were entitled to a quantum meruit in the shape of damages. He was satisfied upon the evidence and the facts, as disclosed, that there was a mere nominal possibility of the loan going through, and the claim, therefore, failed. The appeal would be dismissed.
Upon the application of Mr. Rufus Isaacs, Q.C., his lordship granted a stay of ten days, with the view to an appeal.
Russian Aid for Boer Wounded.
St. Petersburg. The relief funds for the Boers organized by the Dutch Colony, here already amounts to 55,000 rubles. More than seventy doctors, assistant surgeons, medical students, and sisters of charity have offered their services to the sanitary detachment which it is proposed to send to the Transvaal. Some manufacturers of surgical instruments have sent to the Committee instruments, appliances, and bandaging material. Performances will be given in various threatres for the benefit of the victims of the war.
The sanitary detachment of the Dutch colony in St. Petersburg, which will act apart from the Red Cress organization, will despose of forty beds.

Retter:
Russia and Japan. Jadge Baba, Mr. K. Kosaka, Chief Procurator of the Japan Imperial Court, and Mr. Nakashoje are at present in London, inquiring on behalf of Japan into the administration of the English law. Talking to a Central News representative, Mr. Kosaka said that he thought there was no serious danger of a conflict between Russia and Japan. Russia, he thought, was obviously in the wrong in the latest Korean difficulty The Korean Emperor was asked by Russia to cede certain land belonging to private Japanese, The Emperor pointed out that the land was sold to these Japanese. The matter ends there for the present. Mr. Kosaka says Japan will ut stand meekly by if Russia attempts to take the land By force..
ter, under the auspices of the Chow Chow and Schipperke Clubs. Owing to the fact that there are but few foreign dogs in England, the number of entries is small, there being about hundred, which number, however, exceeds that of last year. The quality of the exhibits gener. ally may be said to be excellent. Over two thirds of the total exhibits are: Chow Chows, In this class the championship for dogs is taken by Mrs. J. B. Faber's Chow VIII, while that for bitches is awarded to Miss E. Casella's Champion Tien. These two animals also take the Chows Chow Club Challenge Cups for the best dog and best bitch respectively in the open classes. The Japanese 'spaniels are also a popular lot.
Telegraphists for the Front.
There was an enthusiastic scene at Waterloo Station on 25th November when a dozen tele- graphists from the Central Telegraph, Office, who had volunteered for active service, left Landon on their way to the seat of war. The men belong to the Post Office Volunteers, and are going to South Africa attached to the Royal Engineers, to lay the wires and work the field instruments. The streets of Manchester pre- sented on 25th November a scene of great military enthusiasm. Over 300 Reservists of the Manchester Regiment have been called sg, and have been in Barracks at Hülue, and Bo of them have been selected for active service in South Africa. The remainder are to accompany the 2nd Battalion to Dublin. In compliance with the eagerly-expressed desire of the people of Manchester at large, the whole body of Reservists, led by Colonel Reay, and in full marching order, parade some of the principal streets, Dense crowds of applauding spectators lined the way undeterred by wet, dullisenther.
Greetings From Portsmouth. At Portsmouth Town Council meeting on 28th November the Mayor, Councillior Harold Pink, asked permission to send, in the name of the town, greetings to the officers and men of the Naval Brigade in South Africa, many of whom hailed from l'artmouth le espressed sympathy with the Brigade in the less they had sustained, and said that should any townsmen desire to send them a Christmas present, he would be glad to receive and forward the sante. Though gifts in kind would not now reach them in time, le proposed in send cut a banker's draft to the paymaster for distribution of the money amongst the men, who would thus be enabled to purchase lule luxuries for Christmas from the canteens. The suggestion cordially endorsed, and a resolution giving the Mayor the permission be asked was nanimous- ly carried.
WAY
The Sea Serpent Again. Woolwich was slatted on 27th Nov. by a report that the sea serpent had entered the Thames and was wriggling its way towards the Arsenal, as if it were a traitorous emissary of the Transvaal. Many people went down to the riverside to gaze on the name phenomenon, and, sure enough, they were able to witness a huge monster foundering about in the river. It was a bottle-nosed 'whale, about forty feet long, and after gallivanting about in the water for some time it got stranded off Canton Cartridge Buildings, at the Arsenal. strange visitor came up with the tide, and when it found itself in dificulties on the reed bed, "blew" furiously, and attempted half-a-dozen semi-somersaults, injuring itself on the stones, and colouring the river with its blood. About two o'clock the crew of the scam tug Empress fastened a rape to it, dragged it off the beach, and took it in tow, with the intention of consult- ing the Thames Conservancy respecting its fale as a prisoner of war and 1 trespasser. It weighs. abour eight tons, and is supposed to be worth about £100.

The policy of building_battleships and large cruisers in preference to torped-lats for the French Navy continues to evoke a chorus of criticism from malcontents of the type of M Camille Pelletan. French naval theorists are at present divided into two camps: those in favour of constructing huge war-vessels- mastadons they are called-and those who trust to a numerous and efficient fleet of torpedo-boats, supplemented by a limited number of large vessels. The latter, school despairs of keeping pace with England in the shipbuilding race, and believes that the inter ests of France will be better served by covering the sea with a crowd of small craft capable of harassing an enemy's commerce and isolated ships. M. Teiletan cosiders that M. de Lancs- san and the present school in office arc sapping | 3 the efficiency of the navy, and that the two battleships and mammoth cruiser which figure in this year's Budget are a waste of the nation's money. He complains, also, that not a single ocean torpedo-boat, nor a single second-class vessel of the same kind, is on the stocks at the present moment, and that there is a similar neglect of submarine torpedo-boats for the coming financial year.
Admiral Dewey "Cut to the Quick."
There has been a great outcry in the United States because Admin! Dewey has transferred to his bride the house in Washington which was recently presented to him by popular sub- scription. The New York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says the simple-minded victor of Manila unagined that the house presented to him was bis to do what he chose with, and be made it over to his wife for reasons in which there is nothing dishonourable. This was a private transaction, with which the public might Dewey he considered to have no concen finds, however, that certain subscribers to the purchase fund consider that they have the right to control the disposal of the house.
The result is an exhibition of bad taste on the part of a section of the Republic for which it is hard to find an excuse. Abusive shd scurrilous letters are written to and about the Adiniral, who is cut to the quick, as he himself expresses it, and responds by a heated inter view. If I had kitown how much trouble and abuse was to come upon me as the result-Of accepting the house would never have
it at the hands of the American people If I should feel to-now, as feel to-night I would cut it all-throw up every thing, go on the retired list, and go-abroad. 1 hardly feel like living in a country where I cas. be attacked in so outrageous a manner without being defended by anyone."
