Take tba^ of the .famous Gordon Hinhlaaders. The cross, of course, is llie cross of St, Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. The pprfnx was gained in recognition of valiant sir- vice done By the Second naitalion In Kgypt. the royal tiger on account of nineteen years' hard lighting in In- dia by the Pir.st Battalion, "The stag of ten" rising from a coronet is the crest of the Marquis of Kuntly, for the Second Ituttalion was raised by Oorge Marguis of Huntl.\. afterward the flftb and last Duke of Gordon, while iTie ivy is the floral t-inbleni of the clan Gordon. The this- tle wreath which appears on the bat- lalion badge of course represent Scot- i lanJ. The motto ot the reglemnt is * the motto of c'an Gordon, viz., "By- dand," ineaninR "Watchful." The badge of the Gurkhas is mere- ly two crossed kukris, the kukri be- ing a sharp, heavy, curved knife, which is never out of a Gurkh&'s hand when in his own country, and is primarily used for cutting tracks through th(> dense forest of Nepal, but is also an extremely handy wea- pon for chopping off the head of a bullock, a goat, or even a man. The badge ot the Connaugbt Rang- ers is a more simple one. The barp, of course, is the harp of Ireland, while the motto. "Qui."' Separabit," alludes to the union. It will be no- ticed that from the scroll of the ba,dge a tprig of shamrock Issues from each end, being the national floral badge of Ireland. The collar badge of the regiment i.i an elephant, an honor gained for service in India. The famous Guards' regiments are distinguished from uU other regi- ments by each campany having a badge of its own ..i adJitlon ;6 that of the reglii.ent. Thus the first com- pany of the roldstream.i has a white lion passant, a badge of Kdward IV.: the second coinpa y ha.s the Prince of Wules' feathers, a badge of the black prince; the ihirl company a opottcd panther, the badge of Henry VI. and I so on, but the actual regimental > badge of one of the C'oldslreamers Is .-imply the Star of the Garter. As one would suppose, the badge of the Welsh regiiaeat deals with Wales, and consists of the Prince of Wales' feathers surmounting IMk luot- to, "Ich Dien." while the regiinental motto Is 'Gweli angau na Chywl- lydd," meaning "Death rather than dishonor." On tlit> belt buckle is the Welsh dragon in gilt metal. Princpss Patricia's Hugioient has adopted (op beautiful marguerite iig a fitting H badge for the rorpa.

The work of protecting the historic build- ing against lire has occupied between two and three years, and has cost upwards of )2.'>.00U. The scheme is twofold in charac- ter.

Famous fockncys Hnve Responded »< the Call to Arms. In reviewing recently, and joining â€" for he. hopes t# be one of the firsf to appear in the new uniform of the corps, the City Volunteers, which form a unit of the National Guard- Sir Charles Johnston, Lord Mayor ol London, was following a very ancieui precedent. In the days of Henry VIlI., when Britain':', shore.? were threatened by the French, the Lord Mayor and Ald- ermen took a census of the number of men in the city between the age? of twenty-one and tixty who were capable of Iwarine- arms, and It is rather amusing to read, in the quaint phraseology of the time, that the Corporation decided that "only ablf person.s who had white htrness with white coats, bows and arrows, hal- berds, bills, or pole axes, and none ' o'Jiers, should appear, except such as bear .Mooris;i pikcj ot hand sonnes, and white' coats and caps with feath- ers, and white hose, cleanly shod With fifers and minstrels." Apparently, however, the old Lon- don Volunteers made a brave show, for we read that it was a grand thing to behold them marching through the streets of London with pikes, archers, and billraen, thirteen pieces of light ordnance, carried on carts, with powder and sttftie, leading the way to Westminster, where they were ultimately reviewed by "Bluff King Hal." This was in 1539. and was the first royal review of the City of Lon- •Won Volunteers, although Edward III., in the fourteenth century, in- sisted that every luan in the city should spend his spare time practic- ing with bow and arrow and learn to shoot. Furthermore, Edward III. In- sisted that capable men should thus employ their time Instead of playing .tames, and issued his famous pro- clamation forbidding, on pain of Im- prisoument. any man applying him- self "to the throwing of stones, wood, iron, handball, football, bandy-ball, cock-fighting, or other suchlike vain plays which had no profit in them." â- It is a curious fact tliat Henry VIII.. wlio.-^tli^tever his faults, was a capable soldier, -<a>d. founded the Artillery Company, whfl-t.. from It£ earliest days; was of Invaluable ser- vice lo the kingdom as an officers;^ training corjis, compelled his subjects' to keep bows and arrows, and. per- haps because he himself was a fine tennis player and knew well the fas- cination of the courts, included tennl? and bowls among the "unlawful games which only lead to murders and robberies." Queen Klizabeih was as enthusias- tic as her father in regard to tho training of London's volunteers, says The Ladies' Field. It was she who regulated the price of bows, caused practice butts to be erected, and. when Spain threatened an invasion, caused 4.000 volunteers lo be picked from the companies under training for the defence of f.,ondon. And although the volunteers then, as now. were apt to be scoffed at. more or less, by the professional sol- dier, the records go to show that they could give a magnificent account of themselves. Historians tell us that at the Battle of .N'ewbury the London trained hands quitted themselves like men of undaunted spirit, and were able to withstand the most furious charges of Prince Rupert and his bril- liant cavalry. JVaituIeon and .SubuiarineK. Robert Pulton was the most Inter- esting InvenioV of the early sub- marine. He constructed a boat in France, and managed to interest the French flovernment in it. He gave trial trips In the Seine, at Kouen, and at Brest. Compressed air was used, and Fulton remained at the depth of 25 feet for four hours, steering his submarine in every dlre<^tioB. He also attached a torpedo charg- ed with gun-powdor and blew up an old vessel lying in Brest Harbor. This created a tremendous sensation, and marked a wonderful achievement. Fulton took his submarine to the French Government in the year 1803. just at the lime Napoleon was con- templating an invasion of England. Moreover, Fulton personally laid the plans of bis submarine before Napo- leon, who, it Is said, was attracted by them, but later ridiculed them as new fangled impossibilities, just as he did the steamboat offered to hiui at the same time. What would N'apoleon say could he know the part the submarines was destined to play lit war? Who InviMilfkl Khaki? The answer lo the <;ue8tion, "Who invented khaki?" is iiol easy, al- though we all know that the adop- tion oC khaki by the British army cates back to the South African war. Ir. will surprise most people, says Thtj M\erpool Mercury, lo be told that nearly fifty years ago a Liverpool celtbrlty advocated something akin to Ishaki as the most serviceablt color for the uniform of our troops. W. G. Herdman, the artist, and author Of "Ancient Liverpool,' writ- ing in 1869, condemned the red uni- forms ot the British and tho white uniforms of the Au.<9lrian armlis •» ) the worst possible colors, having re- ! gard to their visibility at long dis- tances. He added. "If armies went Into action clothed In a grey-green all over, head or cap and all, they could not be distinguished till close to." Oriersou's Medals.
