Why the Soldiers 1n the English Arm:
Arc Arrayed In Scarlet.
The scarlet uniform of the British in-
faniry has been meatly criticised in re-
cent years, chiifly on the ground that
it exposes the men tonccdlcss danger by
disclosing their whereabouts to the eu-
eniy. The objuttion taken to the scarlet,
however, is groundless, and scientific
reasons are given why the prevailing
ruler is for all purposes the ‘most suit-
able that could be selected,

The Cause of Rainfall.
Rain is, as We all know, the moisture
of NW atmosphere condensed into drops
large enough to fall with perceptible
velocity to the earth. The variation in
tho lillM'il of the drops is dependent upon
the difference in the height from which
they have fallen and to the amount of
utrnospherio disturbance present at the
time. If they fall from great heights,
the drops sailor gradual division into
nnitiller and smaller partsnntil they are
at last converted into mists. In calm

writers the drops are apt to be large
and heavy. The formation of rain is in
grncral a continuation or an enlarge-
ment of the pnwcsscs by which clouds
and logs are formed. The deposition of
moisture depends upon the .cmling ol

TWO, factors in English holiday travel
are obvious from these great piles of
passengers' baggage. One is that there
is no check system at the railways, and
the other that it it cost or much to hire
a cab in Liverpool or Manchester as in
New York there wculd soon be a dimi-
nution in the number of packages, if not
in the weight of the baggage, which
English families take with them on
their holiday travels. Few big Saratoga
trunk! are to been.» no the platform at .
lrewe Here and there may be seen‘a
trunk which it talus two men to lift,
but the address on it will almost? cer-
tainly show it to belong toan American
visitor. English people will not take
the trouble to pack all their belongings
into one or two large sized trunks.
Neither is there any need why they
should so long as the railway companies
will accept without demur 12 or 15
small trunks, hampers, bundles and
other miscellaneous packages as the
baggage entitled to go with one set of
railway tickets, and so long as an Eng.
lish cubdrivcr will pile all this stall!
on the top or box seat of his cab and
' carry it and the family attached to it
from their home to the railway station
for half a crown.
Every now and again an Englishman
who has been in America writes to The
Times concerning the advantages of the
check system as it is worked on the
American railways, but all these letters
go nnheedcd. English railway managers
have a (head of innovations, especially
if the innovation mines from America,
and the English people, who are accus-
tomed to the scramble for baggage at
the railway stations, are quite satisfied
with the existing: system, or rather lack
of system. On the whole, they save a
little numcy by it. English railway
companies allow a third class passenger
56 pounds of personal baggage, and a
first class passenger double that amount.
Any excess is supposed to be paid for,
but a tip of thmgpencc to n porter will
usually see the whole traveling impedi—
ments of a family carried straight from
the cab to the main and insure that no
questions as to weight are asked. It is
usually the lack of. a tip or a hostile
hint from a cnbyuan who is not satisfied
with his fare that leads to a call at the
weighing machine on the way from the
cab to the baggage van. Under the ex-
isting system ffiixglish people have al-
ways to watch .ver their own baggage
at every charge, and sometimes to
scramble and struggle for it at the end
of the. journey, and to tumble over other
people’s baggzlyy art-they fight‘cncir way
into a crowdfl train. But then, as I
have shown, it is a system under which
the passenger :nu nearly always get the
best of the railway company in the mat-‘
tor of excess of baggage. and nobody
gives any heed to the frequent snggcs-
lions that the American system of checks
should be ode; it‘d.
In one or two directions the English
companies are now following the exam-
ple of the Agncricnn railway companies.
After years Li! urging from the board of
trade and the govcrmm-nt department
which has the oversight of railways
sevi ml of (lac lines are gradually intro-
ducing low cars for long distance travel.
They have 1.1": boldly adopted the Amer-
ican var. ’l‘liu pattrm of car now being
brought into use is a compromise be—
twccn the American car and the Eng-
lish complrtnn'nt carriage. The com-
partment in rclaincd. but each compart—
ment is connected with a corridor which
was not down the middle, but along
one. side of the car. This has given the
name of corridor train to the train made
up of carriages built after this fashion.
011 some of the trains all the car.
X'lilgl‘fi are connected with vestibules
like those on American railways. On
other trains thorn are two or three cor.
rider (nu-1:, \‘r'lllltl tlwrmtof the earrings
are of tho ulsl fashioned style. It is
characteristic of the English people that
there is seldom any scramble for placvs
in the new cars: l’i uplu seem to like
the old compartments better, a fact
upon which the railway companies do
not fail to lay stn‘ss when, after some
outrage in a train, the compatriots are
pressed by the board of trade to make
the use of corridor cars more general.
Thu corridor trains are principally in
use between London and Scotland. On
scores of the long distance runs in Eng~
land all the carriages are still of the
old fashioned hind.
Another fact concerning the corridor
trains in typical of the English char-
acter. Newsboys are not carried on
them. The English railway nowsboy is
still kept solely to the platforms at the
railway stations. And he is likely to be
kept there, for English people would
rule it a nuisance too great to be borne
to be pcstercd to buy bthlltfl and confcm
tionery they do not want. The uowsboy
who travels with the train has few
friends among Englishmen who have
been in America. People grumble at
the prices charged by the monopolist»
who control all the railway news and
bookstalls in this country. But it is
often put to the credit of the monopo-
lists that their newsboys am always at
hand. but never make themselves a
nuisance, nor worry passengers who do
not want the books they are vending.
One of the nowast innovations from
Amm‘ica in the English railway service
concerns mileage books. These are now
in use on the Northeastern railway.
They are being tried in a tentative
fashion. and so far are issued only to
first class travelers. The reductions in
tare are quite considerable, and the con—
ditions prescribed by the company are
easy. if the. experiment works satisfac-
torily, it will soon be extended to third
class passengers on the Northeastern,
and. once well established on one large
trunk “lit. the: system will m We
