When a cargo of more valuable merchandise has to be transported to a distant city in the country away from railways, and involving some more or less desert route, the services of the ship of the desert are brought into requisition. This is a portion of such camel-laden caravan starting from the town, and accompanied with their attendant bournoused Arabs. The camel is not now very much used in Algiers. The railways, which are gradually being extended over Algeria and the adjacent provinces in every direction, and good military and other roads, are gradually causing the services of this useful animal to be scarcely indispensable around Algiers and other large cities ; so that probably, at no very distant future, it will be entirely supplanted by other means of transit; and so far as Algiers itself is concerned, it is likely, before long, to become as extinct as the lion now is, but which once used to roam and commit its depredations not so very far frohi the town itself.

The Beauties of Venice . Canal Scene, instantaneous. There are no fewer than 150 canals intercepting Venice in various directions; these canals being connected by 378 bridges of more or less artistic design, and generally built of stone or marble. Most of the houses rise immediately from the canals, sometimes they are separated from them by a narrow street, or ' calle,'' such as we see in the view before us, these streets being paved with broad slabs of stone, sometimes with brick or asphalte [B] The view being instantaneous gives us a good idea of the life pervading the city, which is now becoming one of the greatest seaports of the Adriatic.

Slide from S.P.G., the society for the propogation of the gospels to foreign parts. The rice is then taken to the neighbouring village or homestead and is stored in pits dug out of the hard, red clay soil, or sometimes in a huge basket made from a rush mat and kept in the house. In preparing it for household use there comes in another part of the Malagasy women's work, chiefly, but not exclusively, done by them, that of pounding the rice required for the family every day. Placed in a deep wooden mortar, the rice is pounded with a long wooden pestle to clear it of the husk, and often, if fine white rice is desired, of the inner red skin also. This is a fatiguing task, but is often lightened by three or even four taking part in the work, the various pestles descending in rapid and alternate strokes.

Very few people ever visit Nice, or any town in the locality, without also going to see Monte Carlo?a portion of the principality of Monaco?one of the fairest spots on earth, but which is, like many other fair things, smirched with a foul blot?and this blot is the licensed gambling den in its midst.

With this view we come upon the full life of Nice herself, as we see before us the conclusion of tlie Promenade des Anglais and the celebrated Jardin Anglais itself, where people congregate to gossip, in the mornings and afternoons, over the events of the past evening, to narrate what happened at such and such a ball, which of their friends were successful or unsuccessful at Monte Carlo last night, what new flirtations have sprung up, and to tell each other about their different maladies and disorders. The day life in Nice is so essentially an out-of- door one that the Jardin Anglais forms one of the most important factors in that life and, without it to resort to, Nice would lose half her charms;

He goes about, not in a carriage and horses, of which there are very few in China, as the streets are so narrow they will not permit of any ordinary traffic, but he is carried about in a little shut-up box, very much like the old-fashioned Sedan chairs used in England many years ago. He simply alights from his carriage or box, makes his bow to the gentleman of the house, who is waiting to receive him, and then gets into his box and makes his way to his next calling place.

Gibraltar itself is a town and fortress situated at the most southern part of Spain, and in the province of Andalusia; and the celebrated rock which rises above was termed by the ancients Galpe, and formed , with a somewhat similar one on the African coast opposite, known as Abyla, the Pillars of Hercules.

Just at this point we appear to be quite shut in with the road and river, and cannot help feeling awed at the grandeur which extends above and on either side of us ; so much so, that our friend, seated on the wall there, is evidently at a loss what to do, whether to go on and lose himself in further admira¬tion, or to go back and forfeit the pleasure.

If we choose the former we have a pleasant ride along the peculiar little narrow-gauge railway, with its fine views, and the picture before us may be seen from the carriage windows as we pass along. This is a charming spot, and has long been a favourite haunt of the artist. Although the old Mill is gone, there remains still such a picture of exquisite beauty, that one cannot help a feeling of intense pleasure at the sight.

Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle (in the U.S.) or dazzle painting, was a family of ship camouflage used extensively in World War I, and to a lesser extent in World War II and afterwards. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson, though with a rejected prior claim by the zoologist John Graham Kerr, it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other. Unlike other forms of camouflage, the intention of dazzle is not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed, and heading. Norman Wilkinson explained in 1919 that he had intended dazzle primarily to mislead the enemy about a ship's course and so to take up a poor firing position.[a]

Built by the Joh. C. Tecklenborg yard at Geestemünde, she was launched as the freighter Pungo in 1914 and operated by the Afrikanische Fruchtkompanie for F. Laeisz of Hamburg. After an uneventful career carrying cargoes of bananas from the German colony of Kamerun to Germany she was requisitioned by the Imperial German Navy for use as a minelayer. Her conversion took place at Imperial shipyard at Wilhelmshaven in the autumn of 1915, and under the command of Nikolaus zu Dohna-Schlodien, she entered service on 1 November that year.
