THE PRINCESS CHRISTIAN HOS-. PITAL TRAIN FOR SOUTH AFRICA.

The military hospital train, which was re- cently built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company," Limited, of Birmingham, England, was in many ways a remarkable piece of engineering, and interesting not only on account of the fact that it is the first really efficient hospital train ever built. in England, but because of its superior finish and the quick time in which it was built...

The train itself consists of seven coaches or, carriages each 36 feet in length. They run on ordinary bogies and are fitted throughout with the vacuum brake. *******

The first two coaches are each sub-divided | in three compartments. The first compartment | in the former coach has been ingeniously fitted with cupboards for storing linen, bandages, and the necessary paraphernalia essential to a fully-equipped travelling hospital. At the ex- treme end of the compartment is a large chest for soiled linen which is lined with zinc and. well ventilated. The second compartment contains beds for two wounded or invalided officers, and is nicely furnished. These beds, however, are so designed that they act the double purpose of seats by day and beds by night. The third compartment is similarly fitted for two lady nurses.

The second coach is probably the most interesting, the three compartments into which it is divided comprising a doctor's room, dins ing room, and surgery. The last is equipped with shelves and racks for holding bottles and glasses, and so arranged that there is no fear of

their

being broken through the mowing of the train. Along one side of this compartment runs a wide bench for dispensing purposes, while sufficient space is left for an operating

table.

Lockers, drawers,Crawford, J. shelves, and racks have been constructed in in the most wonderful fashion in every con- ceivable nook and corner. Even the roof of some of the conches has been utilized and turned into natty little cupboards. Every coach can boast of a lavatory and chest, as well as a small stove for heating a kettle of water when required. The interior of the coaches is mos beautifully, finished in white enamel, which gives it a cheerful appearance and the impres sion of plenty of room. The train is built on the comidor principle, and one can walk right through its whole length, passing from ward to. ward, for a distance of over two hundred feet... It may interest many to know that the cost of this unique hospital on wheel was only £7,000 or about $70,000.

The whole seven coaches were ready for shipment within ten weeks after contract was signed.

The obstructions referred to Blendee, L fe to the northwest of Alcatraz Island dividing Humphry, R.

The completion of the telegraph from the Indian Ocean to Victoria Nyanza puts the world in communication with the sources of the Nile. The telegraph line has been com- pleted as far as Ripon Falla, which is the point where the White Nile leaves the lake. The people of Lower Egypt will now be able to tell what the water conditions of the Lower Nile will be for months in advance, so that they can regulate quantities to be taken from the Nile for Irrigation purposes.
