HUMOURS OF CAMPAIGNING.

GIRAFFE WRECKS TELEGRAPH LINE. BATHERS DISTURBED BY RHINOCEROS. ("Times" and "Sydney Sun" Seivices.l LONDON, January 9. An East African mounted rifleman says that there is plenty of fun in field telegraph work. Forty-eight miles of bamboo lino were erected, but during the night' a giraffe wound the wiro round its neck and started off at top speed. A rhinoceros joined a bathing ■squad, and every man was naked and every tree had thorns. The rhinoceros marched majestically into the middle of tho pool and wallowed happily, whilo tho bathers in their bare skins wero blistering in the sun.
