An important experiment, may lia‘ve inr~reachin£ results ing made by the telegraph ment of the British Genera office in half a. dozen villages About four o'clock in the morning the li\‘eâ€"year-old boy was awakened ‘by n crackling noise. He found that the bed on which he and his brother lay was in flames, and he was so frightened that he jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. He had no sooner reached the yard than he heard the screams of his younger Brother. Without a moment's hesi- tation the brave little fellow rushed up the stairs. The fire had gained a hold on the other furniture in the room, and smoke was pouring out, on the staircase. I Fighting his way through the smoke. the boy again reached the bell, and seizing his brother in his arms, carried him out, into the yard. He was only just in time in efiecting the rescue, for the baby was already badly burned, and a few minutes’ dc» lay would have been fatal. The alarm was promptly raised, and the fire brigade appeared, but, despite their eiTorts, the house and its contents were destroyed.

His name is James Neild, and with his younger brother, aged two, he was left alone in the house.

His parents, on hearing of this, came to the conclusion that it was .useless to restrain him, and Secured for him a commission and an apâ€" pointment on 1110 staff of General Sir John French, which he found awaitâ€" ing him on landing. He served throughout the South African cam- paign, was mentioned in tho des- p-atches, and was transferred after Lord Brooke, eldest son and heir of Lord. and Lady Warwick, is re. ported to have been taken prisoner by the Japanese at the battle of Liao Yang. while attached to Gen.

His parents having declined to permit him to volunteer for service in the South African War, he ran away from school, sold his jewelry, fur coat, etc., bought a ticket for Durban with the money thus obtained and sailed Heir of Lord and Lady Warwick Captured by the Japs. After a dog has been shot at two or three times, and has got away, he becomes extremely wary, and will wait until the officer is at the farthâ€" est end of his “beat,” and will then endeavor to pass the spring gates with as little effort as possible, so as not to set the bell ringing. l He immediately makes for the from- tier 'to reach his home on the Italian side, and When he catches sight of an Italian customs officer he remembers 'his beatings, and does his best to avoid coming near him. The dog wanders up and down the wire fence ‘until he comes to one of the spring gates, which he pushes open. A bell tinklos, and the customs oflicer imâ€" mediately fires at the dog, but if he misses the animal the smuggled goods cannot afterwards he impoundâ€" ed, for all goods that have once got over the frontier are considered as having paid duty. free The animal is first taken to an Italian village near the frontier, Where he is potted and well fed. After Some weeks of this the dog is taken 'to the nearest Swiss village, where he is half-starved, and where a. man in the uniform of an Italian customs ‘ofiicer gives him an occasional beatâ€" ing.

In Upogoro, a. tract of land in German East Africa, the leopard has been domesticated and is now used for the purpose of pulling light mountain guns up the steep hillâ€" sides. They seem to have no dimâ€" culty in performing the work. These beasts in their wild state are a menace to the natives, whose huts they burst into without fear, and whom they attack and devour with- out hesitation. Curiously enough, a leopard will never touch a Euro- pean, and the ferocity of the aniâ€" mals seems to entirer disappear when the leopard is caught, young enough, and the natives find the domesticated animal a very useful addition to their stock.

In the selected villages it is now possible for any member of the pubâ€" lic to ring up a subscriber and use these post-office telephones in the ordinary manner at the ordinary rates. Should the person Witli whom communication is desired not be on the telephone the sender can teleâ€" ‘plione his message to the nearest postâ€"office and have it sent on by express messenger.
