It is proverbial that necessity is the mother of invention, and certain it is that our Canadian cousins are not wanting in the latter capacity. In no direction is this fact more strongly in evidence than in their method of mounting tneir field batteries for win ter use, says the London Mail. During the winter months, when the whole country is frequently covered to the depth of several feet with a bed of treacherous snow, it is, of course, impossible to move wheeled artillery and ammunition wagons. As, however, intending insaders are by no means given to confining their efforts to summer campaigns, it became nec essary to devise some means of get ting over the difficulty. Happily. Can ada had in the person of Artillery Maj. R. W. Rutherford a soldier of no little resource. By a most ingenious design he has made it possible to mount the guns, gun-limbers, wagons and wagon-lim bers upon a species of “bobsleigh,” the whole arrangement being joined up by traces in the ordinary way bv an operation occupying at the outside under five minutes. The change from summer to winter guise can thus be made immediately a fall of snow' has rendered the roads impassable for wheeled traffic, while the advantage in superior mobility over an unprepared enemy would be I enormous, as the practically noiseless motion of the sleighs would bring the guns well into range without betray Serious Fires and Loss of Life. ing the slightest hint of their ap P aterson , N.J, Feb. 9.—A great fire proach. swept through Paterson today and in Banana Pie. its desolate wake are the embers and Line a pie pan with a crust and bake ashes of property valued at $10,900,000. in a hot oven.

L ondon , Feb. 10.—A report received today from Lord Kitchener st Pretoria shows last week to have been the liveliest week, with the heaviest losses on both aides, for several months past. Lord Kitchener gives the Boer casualties a total of 69 killed, 57 surrendered and 574 taken prisoners. The British captured 480 rifles, one pom pom and the usual grist of munitions and livestock. The most serious British loss during the week whs the capture of 60 donkey wagons, convoyed by 160 troops. At a point 30 miles fioiu Beaufort West, (’ape Colony, the enemy swept down on the donkey wagons and cut up the convoy before assistance arrive«I. They were able to remove only 12 of the wagons, and burned the rest. In this engage ment the British lost two «»fficers and 11 killed and one officer and 47 men wounded, while the Boers lost 24 killed and 45 wounded. The Boers also rushed a detachment of 100 men of Colonel Doran’s column, the night of February 3. when the British lost three officers and seven men killed and 17 men wounded Von Donepsurprised Potgieter’s laager near Wolmarstadt, Transvaal Colony, on February 7, killing three Boers and cap turing 36. as well as 25 wagons and live stock.
