The Boer Rifleniairs Song.
An Unknown poet. or at least one who is known only by the initials
~l,. J.(l. B." has written what may be called justly the best poem that
the war in South Africa his inspired yet. lt is remarkable that this
r willy excellent piece of work has not been circulated widely before
iris. especially since the Brit‘sh nation is hungry for good war poetry,
of which it is not getting niuch, if any. This poem was priitid in the
'l‘. lenhonc, :i weekly paper published in Cspitiwu, Africa.0ti Septem-
ber 3.3 The word °°rooi-b:t‘js" us<d by the poet refers to the red-
ccatcd British soldiers:

The under body of the Motheral host

lr. Motheril claims that the battle-
ship Indiana, if built according to his
system, would easily steam 150 miles
an hour. The air pressure, he says,
maintains and even oeam, making sea-
sickness impossible.
'l'he air cushion is similar in sotion
to the oil on the axle of a wheel, the

sou why it conduces to speed may be]

to any _size vessel irrespective of tou-
nge. The application of air pressure is
ligured at one cubic foot to the rquare
inch ftr every two feet of water drawn
by a vessel, proportionate allowance be-
ing made, say two inches in a two foot
drop. for power to expel air from the,
