Washington to the Herald Office says {:
Colonel j. B. Tomlinson, editor OF the
Omaha Democrat, has kept Governor
David B. Hill's name at the head Of his

Some Arrangements that are now
Being Made for the Great
Event in August.
Msjor Teele. who is the best posted
man of all in regard to the approaching
Confederate Soldiers reunion and en-.
campment in this city next August.
says the San Pedro park has been found
number Of ex-soldiers who will be here.
The park only contains, by actual sur
vey, some 30 acres, and treble that much
space will be needed. About A coo souls
will be here from all parts of the south
to participate and other arrangements
will have to be made. Rations for this
number of ex-sOldiers have been or
dered.
The company which has the River
side Park in charge, which is known as
the Mauermann pasture below the city,
offer their grounds. which have been
accepted. The grounds contain @-3
acres, and 43 men are now at work
clearing them up and arranging for the
reunion. 1t is contemplated to erect y
large two-stOry pavilion, with seating
capacity for 5000, and In which the de-
alterations and the dancing may occr
The question of cheap and rap,
transit, has. too, apparently been
overcome, as the Arkansas Pass railway
authorities have offered to charge the
visitors and partakers in the encamp-
meat the same fare to take them TO the
grounds as the street railway does to
take them to the depot, i. Q. tickets
will be sold in the city good for street
railway and the Arkansas Pass for but
five cents. Trains will stop for passen-
gers at West Commerce street crossing,
at South Laredo street crossing and at
the South Flores street depot, with the
regularity of the street cars. The
Street Car company, will, it is
also learned, soon begin the building of
an extension of their line down Garden
street and out past the first mission to
the park. 1t is but little over q mile and
IL this is done, it will be agreat con-
venience on other occasions than the re-
union, as visitors can take in one mis-
sion at least for five cents fare.

immigration Note.

Capt. E. U. Cook, of Muscatine,
Iowa, who is down here to visit the Key
stone ranch, has been asked to write an
immigration document, in favor of
Texas, and has dashed of the following
on behalf of his friend, DR.. Trexler:
Say, dear Doctor, can you tell
What can make a sick man well?
One who's sick of snow and frost,
Who'd be cured at any cost?
One who loves the balmy air,
And hates blizzard any where?
Who in sunshine pleasure takes,
And breads cold weather worse than snakes?
One who spends his summers through
Trying to make enough to do
Him till the cold and wintry blast
Is numbered with the things that's past?
Tell me what ought to take.
And what changes l should make;
My religions almost lost,
I'm so bitten with the FROST
That even HI do not dread
But think | much prefer instead,
Not enough to do me harm,
But just enough to keep me warm.
This prescription he did give:
If in sunshine you would live,
Not a word have to say
Pack your grip and come this way.
There is enough of HI down here
To make it pleasant all the year.
We can make 1t pretty hot
When we give you all we've got.

Summer Camp for Invaiids.

But perhaps the most curious, and GER
tainly the most pathetic, Of our summer
colonies out Of doors is that which is re-
cruited from the hospitals. Whenever
hospital has a garden attached to it you
will find tents pitched on the grass. In
some cases they will be large army tents,
and through their open flaps you may
see rigid figures stretched on mattresses
on the floor, while neat and noiseless
nurses pass to and fro among them. In
other instances they viii be roofs of can
vas, under whose shelter feeble, white
faced men and women swing in cots or
hammocks. The New York hospital has
one Of its spacious roofs covered with
canvas awnings, beneath which patients
who are beginning 10 mend are quar-
tered, in order to have nature assist in
the cure. 1t is a very recent institution,
this summer epcamprnent Of the sick,
but il is, am told, already established
as valuable part Of the process of cure.
The trouble is that few of the hospitals
have spare ground enough to carry out
the plan properly. Some, too, which
have the space, are SO hedged in BY
other buildings that the sanitary value Of
their open air is seriously impaired

A MlDSUMM Err SONG.

o! fathers gone to marktt town, he was up b.
fore the day;
And .jarnie's after robins, ind the man is making
hay,
And whistling down the hollow goes the boy that
minds the mill,
While mother from the kitchen door is calling
with will:
"Pollyl Polly! The COWS are in the cornl Oh,
where's Poly."
From all the misty morning there comes a sum-
ner sound,
murmur Us Of waters from skies and trees AID
ground.
The birds they sing upon the wing, the pigeons
bin and COO,
And over bill and hollow rings again the loud
halloo:
''Polly, Pcllyl The COWS are in the cornl Oh.
where's Poly?"
Above the trees the honey bees swarm by with
buzz and boom,
And in the field and garden thousand blossoms
bloom.
Within the farmers meadow brown eyed daisy
blows,
And down at the edge of the hollow red and
thorny rose.
But Polly, Polly! The COWS are in the corn.
Oh, where's Pollys
How strange at such time Of day the mill
should stop its clatter!
Tbs farmers vile is listening now, and wonders
what's the matter.
o. wild the birds are singing in the wood and on
the hill,
While whstling up the hollow goes the boy that
minds the mill.
But Pollyl Polly The COWS are in the corn!
Oh. where's Polly?

Steam an Invisible Vapor.

When water once begins to boil it is
impossible to raise its temperature any
higher; all excess of heat is absorbed by
the escaping, as SO called, latent heat,
and is given out again when it con-
denses. We often speak Of seeing the
steam escaping from the mouth of a
kettle, but this is incorrec5--steam is an
invisible vapor, and we can no more see
it than we can air. What we do see are
the minute drops of water into which the
steam condenses on coming into the cool
air. If we boil water in glass flask,
we shall notice that nothing can be seen
in the interior, and by observing the
steam escaping from kettle we shall
notice that there is quite q distance be-
tween the end of the spout and the point
where the cloud becomes visible. This
cloud of steam is of exactly the same ma
ture as the clouds which float in the sky,
and which are formed by the condensa-
ton in cool upper regions of aqueous
vapor in the air.-Safety Valve.

Tho CANALS" of Mara.

At a recent meeting of The Paris Acad-
envy Of Sciences there was presented a
series Of drawings Of the planet Mars
made by II. Perrotin, director OF the OBJ
servatory at Nice. In the discussion
which followed, NJ Fizeau offered an ex-
planatior Of the singular canals observed
on the surface Of Mars, which resemble
slightly canals used for irrigation. The
explanation which he gives is, that on
the surface of Mars there must be largo
glaciers similar TO those which exist on
the earth, but Of an extent far greater,
and that the movements and crevasses
are much more pronounced. This hy-
pothesis. as u. Fizeau claims, accords
perfectly with our present knowledge Of
the planet. We know, first, that the
seasons are twice as long as on the earth;
second, that the force Of gravity is feeble;
third, that TIE temperature Is probably
much lower than that Of the earth; and,
fourth, tina. the atmosphere is less de-
veloped than that Of the earth, less e1-
tended, and consequently less able TO al,
serb and preserve the solar heat.-Sci-

The Making of the Violin.

belly. or sounding board. should he Of
soft red fir, a kind only growing on the
Tyrolese mountains. 1t is light and
strong. and being of loose grain gives
free passage 10 the waves of sound. Tho
trees are cut in the winter after the SAP
has ceased 10 flow, and the wood is thor.
oughly seasoned before called fit for use.
The older the wood the better. For the
neck, back and sides Swiss sycamore is
regarded the only proper wood. 1t an
swers to a different note than the FIR,
fact that has been found necessary 10 the
highest harmony. The violins are shaped
by exact rule, but the slightest variation
in any of the curves gives a difference of
tone, so that no two instruments sound
exactly alike.
Several violins of the same make and
in all respects apparently alike were
tested 10 demonstrate this. They were
all tuned in fifths, the lowest giving what
is technically known as middle G., tins
being the correct way TO tune violin,
but under the bow there was marked
difference in the quality of tone.
