A Fortunate Find of Rifles and

Way to Africa.

SmMaLLpEEN, May 8.—The

burg and Smalldeen was part ofa great general movement extendinz from General Hunter on the west to Genera! Rundle on the east.

Lord Roberts’ admirable etrategy re-

sulted in placing everywhere five British to one Boer. The British are now able to wait- the | front and strong positions are safe—in the | knowledge that their flanking column will advance and cutflank the Boers.

Yesterday the Boers really held strong positions from which, earlier in the cam- psign they could only have been forced by hard fighting.

Genera] Hamilton’e arzival at Winburg, although not directly outflanking the Boers made their position extremely un~ comfortable. General Hutton’s move- ‘ment on the left was even more successful , than at firet imagined, there being forty } Boers killed,

i The march teday was short, but Pole. Carew’s division marched &8 miles in four days.

General Tucker’s division is marching on our left today and General Maxwell’s brigade will be able to cross the river before night.

Lord Roberts has been very strict in his examination of farms, with the result of

c disclosing the fact that nearly every house as

is @ miviature arsenal, rifles and abundant ammunition being found. If these had not been discovered the army would be leaving in its rear material in men and arms fora dangerous movement among the inhabi- tants all along the railway.

Culverts, wherever these were of any size, bave been utterly destroyed. Three of the

four spans of the Vet River bridge have been destroyed, and it witl be necessary to make a temporary line down the river bed as at the Modder.

Reports have been Leard, this after - noon, showing tha: more culverts and bridges are being destroyed northward.

IN THE TRANSVAAL.

Warrenton, Cape Colony, May 7.~— The Boers have been driven out of Four~ teen Streams, and the British are now en- camped on the north bank of the Vaal

River. OUR BOYS.

Lexypon, May 8.—The Bloemfontein correspondent of The News, describing Greater Britain at the front says:

To Canada we take off our hats,

She has sent us, besides other worthy representatives, a regiment of infantry that bears admiration from every soldier for marching, endurance or fighting.

It can challenge comparison with any battalion in Lord Roberts’ army, and that is saying a good dea).

GENERAL REVIEW, =-“ONDON, May 8, 4.30 a. m.—Tne Boers ze everywhere retiring before the British, except on ic Natal frontier and at Mafeking, to the inner circle of their de- fences.

They anpear determined not to fight un- dt hills are reached.

Lord kt ris is expecting to do another forty Or mity miles and then to wait for a time in order to bring up supplies and to repair the railway.

There ar2 one or two hints in the dis» patches from the front that he may rest for « few days at Small leen.

General French’s 10,000 cavalry have not been meationed in official or unofficial despatches for four days.

It is by no means likely that he is idle, and the conjecture is that he is either detouring toward Kroonstadt or raiding the Ladybrand district.

Fifteen thousand British troops are now Operating on the western frontier of the Free State. Asthe deadlock at Warren- ton has been broken and the Boers are res treating there is nothing formidable ex- cept the distance between Warrrenton and Mafeking.

The most hopeful advices from Mafes king on April 22nd were that the garrison would be barely able to hold out fora month. At that time the fever was spread- juz. Lord Roberts and Kitchener pereon- ally directed the artillery ia the Vet River engagement.

Queen Victoria wili send a signed photograph to Colonel Kekewich, the hero of Kimberley.

Six thousand troopsare now on the sea on the way to South Africa. No others‘ are under orders to, go except as recruits to fill up losses of regiments at the front.

NOTES OF A LESSON

The Conifers or Cone Bearing Trees of P. E. Island.

BY JOHN MACSWAIN.

The coniferous or cone bearing trees | are found in various parts of the world, | both in cold and warm climates. They | are most aburdant in temperate regione. | In the Northern Temperate Zone, they ;Occur in the form of pines, cedars, |epruces, larches and junipers. In the ! South Temperate Zone, there are found species of the genera Aracaria,Eutassa and ; dammara, the most famous of which are j the Cowdie pine of New Zealand aad the . Norfoik Island Pine.

| The conifers supply valuable timber, and yield resin, oil, pitch and curpentine | of various kinds. The fruit is a cone, whence the name coniferous or cone-bear-

}

ing trees. The leaves are awl-shaped or needle~shaped. Of pines twospecies grow here.

1. Red Pine.—Leaves in clusters of two with small scales at the base of the clusters.

2. White Pine.— Leaves in fives.

There are three spruces. Their four- sided, needle~shaped leaves point in every direction, and come off singly.

3. Black Spruce— Cones small and pers istent,edges of the scales often eroded. The leaves of this spruce supply, by boil~ ing the extract aeed in making spruce beer.

4. White Spruce - Cones large, decidu- ous or falling off in autumn. Leaves have a glaucous or whitish tinge; twigs stout and rigid.

5. Red Spruce—Cones same size as white spruce from One io two inches, bovate, seldom persist longer than second sum- mer. Leaves without the whitish tinge of the leaves of white spruce.

6 Bemlock — Leaves _ short, flat, whitened beneath, pointing in two direc- tions ; cones small, persistent.

A large tree, valuable for its timber and its bark which 18 much used in the manufacture of leather. Grows abun- dantly in the southern part of King’s county.

7. Balsam fir ; leaves two ranked roint ing in two directions, violet cones, erect. Tbe bark has vesicles or blisters from which Canada baleam is drawn. Like the blacx, red and white spruces, it grows in all sections of the Island. Its timber is ac- counted of little value. Itis a short lived tree.

5. American larch. The needle shaped leaves are arranged many tegether, in fascicles or buadles.[t is not an evergreen. The leaves fall on the approach of w:nter. The larch is very muca esteemed*for its durable timber. About forty-five years ago, an extensive trade was carried on between Canada and the United States in what was called janiper knees. These knees were the lower part of the trunks of the larch with a large root attached. They were used in ship-building.

This tree is in P. E. Ieland popularly but erroneously called the juniper.

9. American Arborvitae or Cedar has leaves of two kinds. Some are awl- Shaped ; others are scaleclike and are imbricated ur overlap oae another on the flat branches. The fruit is asmall, loose cone. The wood is light and very durable. It is found here in Prince’county only, an extensive tract of which is coy- ered with cedar.

:0. Common Juniper.—Leaves all in waorls of three, linearawl shaped and prickly pointed stems,short aud prostrate; grows On the sand dunes of the North coast.

21. Procumbent Savin—Scale-shaped and awl-shapes leaves, Opposite. Stems procumbeat or prostrate. Both junipers are low shrubs. The savin is found in I: yBame situation as the other juniper.

“2. American Yew or Ground Hem- lock ,—The evergreen leaves are flat and ‘wo-ranked on the braucies, linear and green on both sides. A low, straggling, prostrate bush, growing on moist banks bear streams or in the shade of ever. greens,
