It was about eight years ago that I took my longest journey alone. Mo- ther had gome to South Africa for her health about a year betore and now she had sent for me, My Aunt Allie was to take me to Southampton, so we took the early morning train from Bristol. (I can re- member I was very afraid of missing tbe train) and arrived in Southamp- ton a few hours before it was time to board the boat. So we took a tram- car, or street car and went for a ride through its<paved, narrow streets. I was very much impressed with their crockedness, We stopped at a confecs tioner's and bought a box of South- ampton Rock, By this time it was time to go to the docks. After seeing about the luggage and such things we went on board, The boat was the Galoway Castle (since gone down.) After I was acqua.nted with the lady who was to take care of me, my aun- tie left me. On board there was another little boy and girl going to join their par- ents in Rhodesia, so, we soon became great friends. I don't suppose we saw the lady very much. for all that I can remember was that she used to say "It's time to go wo bed," and I believe that was the only thing she ever said to us. I had a little toy pia- no on which I could play "Home Sweet Home." It used to be a great favorite with one young man, for he would play on it every time 1 brought it out. I had a very enjoyable time on board. One of the sailors put up a swing for us and we 'would play for hours on fit, When we got to Madeira the boat stopped for passengers to go ashore for a while. The natives came swarm- ing in boats to the side of the ship, to sell their goods. Some were allow- ed to come on board and such bar- gaining went on. The natives would put a tenrible price on the 'things, and you would need to be pretty ex- perienced in their ways or else you would have to pay for the things you bought, very dearly. Many of the peo- ple went ashore and brought back things. I hadtwo strings of beads gi- ven me. One made out of coffee beans One old lady on board was making bags out of the porpoise skins. don't know how she caught them, but one little corner of the deck was full of skins. I can remember her saying that you must not touch them when they've have just come out of the water, or else they will poison you. It was getting rather dark when we cleared out again. We could only see the land in the distance, and our journey began again. We anchored off the Canary Islande and at the Is- land of St. Helena. Here they sold pictures of the island. But the excite- ment when we saw the Cape come into view, such rushing for glasses, and such shouting and noise. It was evening, just as the sup was going down that we anchored just outside Cape Town. It was a pretty sight to see the dying sun gléaming across the water and falling in rays, and Table Mountain at the back, with the: distant outlines of the city in view. At five am. we steamed off again and at six a.m. we arrived in the docks. After a great deal of bustle and confusion we landed on the docks and I was very glad to be on land again, We thought we should have to stay in Cape Town for the day and 20 on in the evening. We found out that the train would not leave for BRITISH. FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1920, WHIG three days, owing to the nailroad be- il® derailed by the recent floods. So there we were delayed ghree days The first thing we did was to go the Y. W. C. A. and see if they could put us up. They couldn't so they told us to go to another place where we could stay. One thing that struck me was to see the natives. I thought they were very funny, especially to see them walking on the pavement with the white people. At last our long journey to Joh- annesburg was begun, The trains were fitted out very nicely just like the English trains, but with two en- gines as it is all uphill to Jo'burg, being 6,500 feet above sea level. As we were sitting up one night in the carriage and we were alone, the train stopped just in a gulch, and we want ed to know what was the matter. The little girl told me it was "'rob- bers". That was enough for me, for I started to scream as'if I was going to get murdered. All the passengers came to see what was the matter, but for a long time after I was ter- ribly afraid that I was going to be robbed (though I didn't have much to be robbed of.) It was a beautiful journey for its changes of scenes were numerous. For a while we would pass nothing but a long stretch of sandy plain. Then again we would go into a big gulch with high rocks on either side. We passed many Ostrick farms where the ostriches were in great numbers. At one place we passed 'the train stopped for a while, and on a bank were some beautiful white 1il- ies. The passéngers were told not to get off the train, but two or three venturesome ones did so. One young man was #0 interested in picking them that the train started off with- out him, but he caught it at last. It took us three days to get to Jo'burg. When we got to Johannesburg it was winter, but I was determined I would put on a new white dress I had, so the first thing mother saw was me, arrayed in white. I was eo excited I couldn't wait to go along the corri- dor but was lifted out of the window. We then went into the waiting room and had hot milk and buns. Then we saw about the luggage and not being' tired we walked home. In the house we lived I could see the house where I was born, being Just across the veldt. I didn't go school for a long time and had a ro gular holiday. We would go io the Yc0o0, a beautiul done. The fluwers where wera lovely, and for long walk: 1 thought it was very funny to see the little cars running up and down the hills to the gold mines. They looked like toy trolleys. The natives are not allowed to walk on the pave- ment with the white people like they are in Cape Town.--W. Secker, Sen- for IV, | Cataraqui School. The Farmer's Little Boy.

Dr. Fred McKelvey Bell, M.D. Dr, Fred McKelvey Bell, one of, Kingston's brilliant young men, has a reputation which is not confined to any narrow centre. He is a man of international reputation, and his in parts of the United States and in Great Britain. 5 Dr. Bell first saw the light of day in Kingston on April 10th, 1878, so that at present he is only 41 years fame is well known all over Canada, | versity, that training ground for fa- mous citizens of Canada. In 1903, at the age of 25, he graduated in medicine, and was in the same year licensed to practice by the State Board of New York, he spent the winter of 1903-1904 taking a post- graduate course in various New York hospitals, and in September;-1904, he entered the practice of inedicine and surgery in Ottawa, Ontario. suilding up a splendid practice in the Capital, and gaining a fine reputation After of the hardest period of the war he labored with the hospital. This was strenuous work, and his capabilities as a surgeon were tested to the full. Some of his experiences are vividly told in his book, "The First Canad fans in France." He remained in France until May, 1916, when he was called home to Canada to fill the position of Acting Deputy Director of Medical Services Department of Militia and Defence, with the mank of Lieut.-Colonel. In May, 1917, he was appointed Assist- ant Director of Medical Services fo- Military Districts Nos. 6 and 1: which position 'he held for nearly a year. In 1918 the Department of Sol- diers' Civil Re-Establishment sent out a call for his services, and he | was appointed Director of Medical Services for. this department, which was at this time in a state of infancy, On taking up the work of this position, he found many things which were unsatisfactory, and he immedi- ately set to work to remedy them. was appointed as | surgeon, Sarfeon in the St. Luke's Hospital, He made many recommendations and suggestions as to how the medical end of this department should be handled, and tried to improve mat- ters. But he met with a very unsym- pathetic response from the political officials in charge of this department, and rather than carry on the work in a manner contrary to his own bet- ter judgment, he resigned in June, 1919, His resignation caused a stir at the time, and the department was strongly condemned for not carrying out his plans. In August, 1919, he received a call from the United States Government. The problem of rehabilitation was a new one for our southern neighbors, and the American ment felt that his long experience valuable man' to assist in this work. ~devsed a revolver hicles which acts Automatic Pistol's Ancestors ¥ + BY GRANT WM, HYDE "Why do they call a pistol automat: le, Daddy?" "Only one kind is called 'automatic' ~the land, used in the Great War, that gets its name from the fact that it reloads and cocks itself, "Perhaps if I tell you abort this pistols ancestors, some of th you will see why it is called automatic." It came after a series of inventions, like the devising of the cartridge to save loading and ramming a gun through the muzzle, as I told you not long ago. "After the cartridge made possible quick loading and easy firing by a hammer hitting a percussion cap, the first pistols were like our modern sin- gle-shot target pistols that must be reloaded for each shot, But inventors wished to devise a pistol that could be loaded with several cartridges to save time. "One of their first attempts was a Pl with several barrels in a bunch. f there were five barrels, each was loaded separately and turned around, 'one at a time, in front of the hammer to be fired. It was like a double-bar- Jeied shotgun Aion that De lattes as a separate hammer and trigger for each barrel. "But to have so many barrels was awkward. To simplify it, inventors of one barrel with a revolving chamber holding six or seven cartridges. Only the chamber needed to be turned and one barrel was sufficient. The 'double-action' re- volver is 80 named because the trigger does all the work of turning the cham- ber, lling the hammer, and lang 4 against the firing pin. "In automatic, the seven or ten cartridges are held in a removable chamber which slides into the pistols handle. The pistol is cocked slid- ing back the top section and thus Dumping' 2 cartridge into firing sition. e other cartridges can then be fired rapidly without recocking be- cause the recoil, or 'back-kick,' of each shot slides back the top section, throws out the empty shell, and pumps up an- other cartridge is pistol is con- sidered the highest development at present because it works so rapidly and requires little pressure on the trigger. .
