For year military men have been
specializing on why in the new drill
regulations the soldiers do not stand
elbow to elbow, as they always have in
accordance with the tactics previously
in use. met Colonel Camp. of the
Twenty-second regiment. and in the
course Of conversation on the subject
he said:
Ny idea Of the object Of the intervals
which have been adopted in the new
regulations is'to make each man feel has
individuality more. Under this new sys-
tenn each soldier has 10 depend entirely

squeezed up by his comrades on each
side. IL there was anything tho matter
with him. il he didn't know what TO do.

would almost carry him along and quite
likely get hin through all right. A line
OF soldiers might have been really very
weak and still appear strong. II was de-

itself. The rather prevalent idea that
the interval was adopted so as 10 give
bullets a chance 20 pass between the men

OF the subject seriously. The interval is

The astronomers of the naval observa-
tory have looked all over the world for
spiders webs. Such gossamer filaments
spun by industrious arachnids ara util-
lied in telescopes for cross lines extended
at right angles with each other across
the field Of view, so as to divide the lat
ter into mathematical spaces. Threads
Of cobweb are employed for the purpose
because they are wonderfully strong for
their exceeding fineness, and also for the
reason that they are not affected by
moisture or temperature, neither ex-
banding nor contracting under any con-
ditions.
Specimens were obtained from China
because it was imagined that the large
spiders Of that country would perhaps
produce a particularly excellent quality
Of web. However, it was found that the
best web is spun by spiders of the United
States, such as are plentiful in the neigh
borhood OF Washington. Accordingly
