The manufacture of a large part of machinery to replace anything broken is almost Impossible In the limited space of the battleship's machine shops. Bat wondrous feats are per formed la the repair ships that ac company fleets on stations remote from dock facilities, state« a British war correspondent. The repair ship la a huge floating smithy and machine shop packed with everything that the wit of man ona concentrate Into the space for treat ing wounded battleships. These ships employ some of the best artificers from our naval dockyards and are scattered In every quarter in which the British fleet Is stationed remote from dock facilities. The Boohe has nothing like them and it has been stated that no Inquisitive Boohe has ever been allowed to intrude his nose aboard one to Investigate Its mysteries and take the Information to his em ployers of how the strange feats per formed by the repair ship are effected.

Jockeys, no matter what their age, are generally referred to by those no$ closely In touch with racing as "the boy on So-and-So,” but a stable "lad” still going well at ninety-five is cer tainly hard to beat. There Is one, as shown by the following clipping from the London Sportsman of recent date: "One of the brightest and most alert of the lads’ riding horses around the paddock at Windsor prior to their rices was old Faulkner, fhe grandfa ther of the steeplechase Jockey of that name. He is ninety-live years old. His memory Is of the best and so Is his hearing. He has been connected with horeea all his life and many a tale of the turf he can tell." P. W. Rohrbeck, Manger.

One of the boys aboard our navy'* fleet has Invented a Are esaape which la similar to the rope ladders used aboard ships. His principal object was to provide a collapsible Are es cape which could be compactly and conveniently arranged at the window of a dwelling. It consists of a con tainer hinged to the sill In such a manner that by opening th e window and folding th e container on Ita hinge tbo metnl la d d er may be unfolded and dropped. When this operation Is gone through, a means Is automat ically provided whereby the ladder Is held at a distance from the walla of the bnildlng. The advantage of anefc precaution la obvious. THEIR FINAL REST TOGETHER L . L . M u n d le Soldier's Intensely Pathetic Descrip. tion of the Burial of Youthful Scot tish Officer With His Men. Parm a, I stood one night on a certain hltl that commands the firing line in an almost soundless panorama. Beside me was an officer of the Second Ca nadian division, who hud Just come out. There that night, by Its white trail of Iridescent light, we could trace the course of the firing line for many miles through- France and Flanders. Just to our left the line of light Jutted far out, like a lone cape Into the sea. “What Is that Jutting-«oBt place?” my friend Inquired. “That," I answered, “Is the Ypres salient, the Bloody Angle of the Brit ish line.” To mention the name of Ypres Is to have one’s memory awakened with a veritable kaleidoscope of pictures. That trail of light that Jutted out Into the night looked like a cape, and an Iron cape It has been through months and years of war. But the holding of that cape has been at an awful cost, and there was not an Inch along that trailing line of light that had not cost Its trailing line of blood. Just after the first gas attack P a April, 1915, the whole countryside w In a panic. The roads were filled * civilians In alarm, fleeing dowa C0lln. try, and with limbers and nvt rchIn_ troops hastening up.
