imaginary enemy hiding in the bushes
which line their parade grounds Many Of the
horses are not aware of the sense or beauty of
a carbine shot In fact they have decided
objections to staying anywhere in the neigh
borhood. and today when the rafting volleys
were fired the way a number of those horses
filed themselves together was caution. The
animals were soon Quilted, however, and will
soon become used to tho firing. During this

near. while detail from the corps hungrily
watched the mounted men, as If sizing up
which one would be their victim and Just what
bones would be broken.

REcREATIoSs IN CAMP.

Not few Of the men amused themselves by
playing cards in a comparatively quiet and
harmless manner, and 30 far no one seems to
have lost any considerable amount Of money.
Those whom nature has deprived of the ability
to vocalize and who had neither probably
money nor inclination TO play cards contented
themselves by relating marvellous experiences
to friends, punctuated occasionally with loud
yell thrown out for the benefit OF some vocalis,
in their immediate neighborhood. The air
was alive with these harmless noises until
taps" and then things Quoted down to n very
considerable extent. They were not as quiet
however. as they might have been. In three
or four places there was a good deal of noise
and in one place especially the COMPENSATION
was so loud and the candles were SO burned
that the general had to call the attention Of the
guard on duty in that vicinity to the fact thai
TAPS" had been blown.

FISH TAIL RUDDFR.

The inventor says he got the idea by seeing
some peasants raising stones out of the bot
tom of river by means of log set upright
in the water and grooved with spirals, in
which rope wound and unwound. He saw
that the spiral motion increased the force
enormously. He built an experimental boat
of tin and made a splendid trip in the Volga,
easily outrunning the swftest steamers. All
the difficulties the most fertile fancy could
suggest he claims to have overcome, and
thinks he will revoutionize ocean travel and
naval warfare. Such is the brilliant promise
made to the world by NJ. Leonide Apostoloff,
engineer and Russian.
