Captain .Millpiv of tlio Woolgar, vouches for tho truth of tlio statement that there are temperatures met with' i in tho East Indies where it is even irksomo to wear a suit of white, duck, and he has himself found it convenient to follow the custom of tho natives of those parts, and wear nothing but a sarang (a sort of light silk shirt reaching to the feet) and a singlet. Talking on tho: subject of tropical heat at sea, Captain Miller said that he noticed the other day a master reporting a hole having 1 been burnt in. a man's hat by the heat of the. sun. He recollects having a rather moro painful experience than that off Borneo. His shirt was open at tho neck, and tho heat of the sun streaming through the aperture ournt his flesh—so much so indeed that it' took some days to heal under jreatmeut. ■ Writing from Sling Camp, Salisbury Plain, England, a member of tho FourJeenth'Reinforcements says:—"Wo get ap in tho morning at 5.30 and go out jt physical drill at half-past six until f.30, an hour for breakfast and out again at 8.30, and drill until 12.30; havo an hour for dinner and out again at 1.30 until 5.30, and three times a a week we havo ono hour for tea and either go out for a route march or pise trench digging, so that in the way that they harden us for the front.
