902_05_12516060highres Magic lantern slide circa 1900.Victorian/Edwardian.Social History.No. 20.? Camels. 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 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.

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]
