Gibraltar, the mammoth enigms and disillu ziosment, knowa no more to the perambulat ing day tourist than to the puzzled P. add O passenger surveying it from the Bay, has bo comie, superficially, more enigmatical still. Once au arrogantly bustling hive of military activity and suzerainty, it seems to have degenerated into a huge naval workshop. Within the past few years the "New Mole".

huge enough to accommodate a brigade, and presided over by as admim!, has sprung up mushroomlike; new naval babitations are con spicuous; and an enclosed harbour, with three graving docks, capable of accommodating the largest battleships in the British Navy, the works including a commercial and coaling mole, has been built at an estimated cost of four millions. Signs of work but not of power prevail; fatigue parties predominate over armed guards; offices are more evident than armaments, and prosperous tradesmen than officers; dismantled (because obsolete) forts, to longer masked, lend point to the perennial query: Where are the guns?

The far-famed galleries, 30 far as defensive utility is concerned (that portion im; mediately overlooking the North Front alone excepted), threaten to pass into the realm of mere engineering curiosities, the great majority of the guns being obsolete, and modern batter ies having dullified their raison d'etra.
