CHICAGO. July 23. "The horrcr of the situation In the Boer reconcentrado camps of South Africa is appalling. Men, women and children are dying at a rate that woulel mean the extermination of the Roer race in nine years. People are cooped up in unsanitary quarters where ther are unable to secure sufficient food or clothlns, with disease making- terrible ravages among them." Thus was the situation In the Transvaal and Orange Free State depicted to-night at the Christian Reformed Church by Rev. Herman D. Rrockhulsen, late pastor of the leading Dutch Reformed Church at Pretoria. He has come to the I'nited States to raise money to alleviate the sufferings of his countrymen who are huddled together In refugee cam??. It Is the intention of Rev. Mr. Rrockhulsen to travel through the country, speaking in churches of various denominations anel describing the real situation throughout South Africa. The fund? he is able to secure will be fent direct to Pretoria. Regarding the outcome of the struggle Rev. Rrockhulsen is still optimistic. He believes that the Roers will continue fighting until they eventually oust Great Rrltain. "It is ejultc impossible to estimate tli number of burgher now in the fiel!." he said, "but the force Is undoubtedly much larger than when Pretoria was taken." A few elays before leaving L'urope Mr. Rrockhulsen visited President Kruger, ami when he asked what message he would send to the American people Mr. Krtinrer replied: "Tell thm they are helping the Fnglish to slaughter our people by supplying them with horses, mules and the munitions of war."

Some for l'e ou (;Ihmn nnd Some for lue on the Human Sklu. New York Sun. "Black lead pencils," ald the stationer, "are, of course, the kind most commonly used, but colored lead pencils are, In theaggregate, sold in large numbers, and they are made in very great variety. "Artists' lead pencils are made in more ; than tlity, in perhaps as many as a hundred, colors. In the se pencils with the leael in woexl. the wood is linished of a color approximating as nearly as may be that ef the lead. A tray of samples of such pencils thus presents a very striking appearance, making more than a rainbow of color. "There are made, also, colored leads, for use in pencils for movable leads. These artists' pencils of one seert and another are used not alone by artists, but by architects, engineers, designers, draftsmen and others having occasion to use line colore-d pencils. "Then there is a great variety of colored pencils for general use. fer checking and marking anel se on, in oiflce, and store, ami library, and factory, some of these being sometimes used on textile fabrics, as well as on paper anel wooei. "There are c)lorel pencils, these also being made in various eedors, that are especially designed for the use of lumbermen, as there are also incils with leals of various colors made especially for the carpenter's use. "No doubt the common Idea of a lead pencil is of something with which we mark on paper, though the use ef pencils for marking on wood is familiar enough, as, in a more limited way, is their use for marking on fabrics, and so on; but there are various uses t which pencils are put that must be less familiar, if not, indeed, eiuite unknown to many. "There are, for example, pencils, especially maele for marking on glass, pore-'-lain, polished metals, oil cloth, patent leather ami other things upon which an ordinary pencil would not mark at all. The lead cf thes pencils are, of course, made of a material espee ially prepares! for the purpose. With i-ue-h pencils marking is doneeasily on any f these hard, polishe-d surfaces, and the marks may be as easily rubbed off. "These pencils are in use In elrug stores and harelware, glass anel crockery stores, and so on. They are male with white and with black If ails anel with leads in a variety eif colors, the cedoreel pencils being the more generally used, and the cedors most commonly use-el being red and blue and yellow. "Another edd sort of pe-neil is one made for the use of surgeons for marking ein the skin in surgical operations and for anatomical purposes. These, also, are colored pencils, and they are maele in a variety ot ccdors. "In fact, simple a thing as the load pencil might se'in to be, it is really something that is made in almost endless variety; hut for all that, the pencil manufacturer ge-ts every now and then from somebody a elemand for new pencils for some special Use."
