General Viljoen rose during the late war, from the position of commandant of the Witwatersrand goldfields, to the position of assistant commandant-general of the Transval forces, second in command to General Botha. He played a prominent part in the battles of Colenso, Spion Kop and Vaalkrantz, besides being on active campaigning duty at other times. On January 25, 1902, he was captured by the British and sent to St. Helena, where he was imprisoned until the end of the war. He was also a member from Johannesberg in the Transvaal Volksraad...

...Engineering Journal begins its second year with the November number, which has recently been issued. A number of excellent cuts make the magazine attractive, and at times lend to the articles and interest which of themselves they might not command. "The Engineering Camp at Squam Lake," by H. H.
