STORES TO THE FRONT.
How Each Fraction of the Army Is o
ganized in Time Of War.

How Each Fraction of the Army Is Or
ganized in Time Of War.
Each fraction of the army is so organized
in war that wherever ii goes it bears with it
rations for three days, so that if the worst
comes 10 the worst it can subsst Tor that
time without help. Each man carries on
his person food for one day, a timed ration,
with instructions to use it on emergency
only and never without an order. Food for
two more days is carried with him in wagons
detailed for this duty only, each regi-
ment or unit having its own wagons,
driven by its own men, which III arch and
encamp with the troops; these wagons we
will call the Teglmental transport, though it
Is part only of all that is known by that
name.
All being ready the army leaves its
" base " and marches. say, fifteen miles
toward the enemy. The base" is the port
where all 1t wants is stored. The next day
it marches another fifteen miles, and so on !:
and it becomes apparent that further
means are needful to send on the food, for Of
what use would be 100000 tons of food
at the base unless the soldier could get his
dinner served him at the front? 1t is easy
enough to land the food it is very difficult
to distribute it. Let US see the process.
The troops have done their march,
and have reached the spot selected
for their camp; fatigue parties are told off
some t. cut wood, some to dig kitchens, to
carry water, to make shelters, to draw
ratOns, etc. The Quartermaster has taken
this last party 10 the regmental wagons
and drawn thence the ratiUns for the day.
conveyed them to the Kitchens, parceled
them out to company cooks, who cut them
into squad mesSes, and each man gets his
dinner. The emptied wagons, however,
must replenish from somewhere, or a repe-
titiOn Of the process would see the end of
the rations.
In the meanwhile the Army Service Corps
column attached to each brigade has been
moving up some distance in rear. These
wagOns-called the supply cOumn-have
brought mp one more days supply, by which
are refilIed the emptied regimentdl wagons.
This emptes the supply column, which, in
turn, must TepleniSh from somewhere.
How? To realize it best let us imagine the
army is some sixty miles from its base. and
picture to ourselves the work that is being
done upon the road in rear. Along this road
are two long streams of traffic one to the

Captain John gave himself up completely
to the work of getting his ship under way.
The anchor had nearly reached the hawse-
hole and the Dreadnaught, freed from every
drag, caught the wind in her sails, the folds
of which were Tapping violently. The lIb
had been set, and caused the vessel to huff
a little. This maneuver gave the Dead
naught . little more swing, so as to steer
clear of several vessels anchored at the
mouth OF the harbor Captain Allaire then
ordered the main and fore sail to be hoisted,
which was done with an ease and rapidIty
that did credit to the crew. The Dread
naught now caught the wind on the star
board quarter, and took the direction OF the
Offing in such a way as not TO be oDnged 10
change her tack.
An admiring crowd still fingered on the
wharf intentIY watching the ship, which
seemed almost coquettishly to display her
graceful outlines 80 she careened gently
under the increasing pressure OF canvas.
During these maneuveTs she passed within
half a cables length of the wharf where Mr..
HOLSTER and Molly and Lew Barker and
his wife were standing. In this way the
young captain was enabled 20 see his wife,
her relatives and his friends once more and
to shout last adieu to them. Every voice
answered the greeting, every hand was
waved in response to Allaire's salutation.
Good by. gO0d-bY!' he cried.
Cheer after cheer went up from the as
sembled multitude, while countless hand
kerchiefs like one vast white cloud hung
trembling over their heads.
The fact is, Captain John Allaire was
universal favorite and his native city was
proud OF the eminence he had attained, and
few were there in the vast crowd who did
not secretly resolve to be on the wharf TO wei
come him home again when the Dread
naught should make her appearance outside
the bay

the harbor She was obliged TO huff to avoid

AMBER.

The Masses Thrown Up Every Storm on
the Strands of Jutland and seanfa.
The masses of amber thrown by every
storm on the strands of Jutland and Scania,
although neglected by the first settlers upon
them, attracted the eager attention Of their
sepulcher- building successors. Tie sub
marine product cast at their feet by the
waves served not only for the adornment of
their persons, living and dead, but for their
protection against supposed malehe inhu-
ences, and gradually becoming known to
distant peoples was bartered, in the growing
trade centers of the south, for objects
fraught with the significance of a new era.
The traffic assumed large proportions.
To the diffusion of the fossil gum of Jut-
land from Lguria to Thraee corresponds an
equally surprising plenty Of bronze and
gold in Scandinavia, where, too, finds OF
wrought amber and of the objects pur-
chased with it suggest a reciprocal relation,
scarcity of the first attending on plentiful
ness of the second. Not even in those re-
mote times was it possible at once to have
a cake and TO eat it. About the sixth CEN
fury, B. c., the Etruscans entered the mar
ket. Amber occurs III the oldest tOmbS at
Cervetri, and its exchange for bronze wares

North to have been of home manufacture
Their remarkable beauty and elaboration
tell of an advance in taste ensuing upon the
development OF commerce they sprang from,

them betrays an Oriental origin. Its ele-

John Alaire, Andrew Hollister nor any one

OF Bankers matters. In industrial and
commercial circles there was no inklng that
this adventurer-and would 20 heaven he de-
served no harsher name--was Fastening tn
his ruin. And even when the crash should
come, possibly they would be inclined
to look upon him simply as an unlucky
business man and not man utterly devoid
of moral sense, to whom all methods are
permissible, provided they lead to for
tune. And John Allaire himself, although
he had never been specially attracted by
the man, was at this moment not in the
least inclined to distrust him, and therefore
was it that during his absence he would
count upon his wife's being the recipient
of Lewis and Kate's kind Offices. Should
the emergency arise. should Molly stand IN
need of their outStretched hand, she would
not call out to them in vain. Their house
would be open to her and she would ind
welcome there-Dot only the one due to
friend. but to a sister
Besides. how could there possibly be any
suspicion of Kate Barker's sincerity Of af-
lection. Her love for Molly was as great
as it was unselfsh, and far from striving TO
set bound to it, Lew Barker had encouraged
it, no doubt with some sinister motive, some
shadowy vision of future gain, which he
hoped he might be able 10 draw from it. He
was perfectly sure, too, that Kate would
not say duRHG WHICH WOulu De l6IL uQSdIu,
that she would be discretion itself as re-
CARDS his present condition, giving no sign
or hint as to the disreputable schemes in
which he had become involved, or as to the
sea IF difficulties in which he was now

hold her tongue, not even a word
Of blame would escape her. The domination
Of her husband was absolute; no power Of
resistance was left her, although she knew
him to be man utterly without conscience,
destitute of moral sense, who would not
hesitate to commit criminal act And,
now that this man stood before her in his
true cOlOrs how was it possible for her to
preserve the slightest regard for him? The
fact is, and it should not be lost sight Of,

have had a suspicion of them, but that's
ALL
The relations of John and Molly Allaire
on the one side and OF Lew and Kate
Barker on the other are now sharply enough
outlined to render Ineligible the facts

why That Vessel Is Rated as Dynamite

On the roster of the United States Navy
the fourth-rate unarmored cruiser Vesuvius
is put down as dynamite cruiser" Inter-
est in this vessel has just been rekindled By
the experiments at target-shooting in the
Chesapeake Bay. 1t is true that this peeu-
liar vessel may be classified properly as
fouTth-rate uparmOred cruiser, being of less
than 1000 tons burden, but it is also true that
this Government never officially proclaimed
a greater inaccuraey than to denOminate and
tn keep on denOminating this graceful and
dangerous craft as dynamite cruiser. She
has never thrown dynamite, never was in
tended to throw dynamite and probably
never will throw dynamite, unless sudden
war should occur, and no more desirable ex-
ploSive than dynamite can be procured at
once. The truth is that she is capable of
throwing dynamite and hence her rating
as q dynamite cruiser. She could huTl 500
pounds of it from each one of her guns at
single charge, and it would cover the dis
lance of more than a mile in the same time
that a first-class Sprinter would speed over
100 yardS-10M seconds. And IL an Italian
irOn-clad, or any other naval monster, great
or small, should happen TO be within 200
feet of the spot where the loaded cigar (as
the cartridge has been called should chance
to strike, there wouldn't be any fron-clad or
vessel of any sort there in ten, FIVE or two
seconds, according as the time had been ar
ranged for the cartridge TO explode after
contact. The more correct designation of
this uniqus vessel would be to classify her
as an air-torpedo boat-the only one Of the
