Were it not for the Mosque, which forms such a prominent feature in the view before us, we might almost imagine this square to belong to any continental town. Here we see the ordinary French fiacre, or cab, rows of gas lamps, and seats, such as we might find in any European city. This part of Algiers is, however, the most European. Around here, and along the boulevards adjoining, are the principal cafes, restaurants, hotels, and stores for the sale more especially of English commodities. This, moreover, is the busiest part of the city during the day-time, and it is here, during the pleasant summer evenings, that the military band plays for the amusement of visitors, principally English, amongst whom this winter resort is becoming so fashionable. This fine old mosque, with its rectangular minaret, is called Djamaa El-Djidid?a rather uncanny word. It dates from the seventeenth' century [B]. It is a fine mosque, though not possessing so much interest as our next.

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. Scala dei Giganti, or Giant's staircase. This is a noble marble staircase leading to the Palace of the Doges, deriving its name from the colossal statues of Mars and Neptune at the top. It was on the top of these steps, and between those statues, that the doges used to be crowned in the olden times; and then, having heard mass in the cathedral close by, and made the tour of the Piazza, the new Doge retired to his future abode within. It was at the top of these steps, also, that the aged Doge Foscari fainted with anguish when forced to abandon a palace which for more than thirty years had been his home [B] Passing through the archway we enter the courtyard, and get a more general view of it, and the cupolas of St. Mark's.

Formerly fresh water used to be obtained at great expense and bad quality from the mainland, and kept in cisterns ; it is now obtained by a large number of the inhabitants from Artesian:-wells, a number of which, scattered about the city, were sunk in 1847 at the expense of the municipality. These wells are opened by the authorities twice each day, and then there is quite a rush of those who wish to draw the water, especially women and girls, who, after awaiting, their turn, quickly lower a small copper pail by means of a piece of rope they bring with them, haul it up, and hasten away to their home. The reservoirs are not very deep, being only about twenty feet, or thereabouts; and it is somewhat remarkable to find springs of clear limpid water thus rising, as it were, from the midst of the sea.

This is one of the larger canals, and the houses or palaces are inhabited by some of the well-to-do of the city. On our left we notice a high post standing straight up out of the water. These posts-for there are many in front of each palace-are painted with the heraldic colours of the family, and were formerly the distinguishing marks of the nobility [B] They are used as moorings for their own and also for their visitors' gondolas.

In Venice there is not a single horse, or any other beast of burden ; the canals are the water-streets, by means of which passengers and merchandize may be conveyed to any part of the city. The canal is the street and the gondola is the cab or carriage. Except in the Public Gardens there are not many trees to be found in Venice, though every here and there we meet with such an oasis in the barren desert of masonry as we see in the picture before us [B] Although there are such a number of canals in Venice, yet access to all and every part of the town

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.

They are substantially built, and for the most part when Venice was enjoying more fortunate times. ·' Those days are gone, but beauty still is here' [B] In the distance we see the other side of the Bridge of Sighs,and the open lagune beyond.

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.

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.

This is a charming spot, and has long been a favourite haunt of the artist.

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.
