There was a great bonfire display in Scotland. For a fortnight ten Highland ponies had been carrying materials up Ben Nevis. The brush-wood came chiefly from the neighbouring deer forest in Glen Nevis, and many loads of peat from the Distillery mosses. A shower of "May" rockets gave the signal to the bonfires on the neighbouring hills to make ready, and a few seconds before 10.30 Mrs. Cameron Campbell of Monzie touched the wire at the foot of the hill, and on the stroke of time the huge beacon burst into a brilliant sheet of flame, and was answered from hill after hill throughout Scotland. At the same time the following telegrams were despatched:-- "To Big Ben, Westminster:--'Our Highland hills in blazing bonfires join with London's illuminations in honour of our Queen.'" "To the Lord Mayor, London:--'O'er loch and glen our bonfires shine to greet with you our Queen.'" [Illustration: _From a Photograph_} {_by Lafayette._ THE RIGHT HON. CHAS. C.

It is characteristic of our nation and our times that at this, the most northerly outpost of civilized man--the head-quarters of the Jackson-Harmsworth Polar Expedition--the Jubilee was celebrated "with all the ardour of Big Englanders."]
