MILITARY SERVICE IN ITALY
Enrolment Of the Army According to tn
Law of COuscriptioa.

Enrolment Of the Army According to the
Law of Conscriptioa.
The law of conscription makes every
ablebodied Italian liable to military
service from the age of twenty to thirty
nine. The men on the conscription lists
found fit for service are enrolled, and
divided by lot into three distinct
categories, first, second, third. The
category contingent is determined an
nually by law. The men in excess Of
the first category contingent are as
signed to the second category; those
who find themselves in such family cir
cumstances as are stated by the law Of
conscription are passed into the third.
In determining these circumstances the
legislator has conciliated the needs of
the military defense of the state
with the other interests of civil
society and the principles of hu-
conscription of all the great states Of
Europe, the Italian is the most liberal
The former, in fact, extend the period
OF liability to military service to twen-
ty-fve years, and restrict the cases Of
exemption within the narrowest limits.
Another feature of the Italian law is
this: 1t allows all conscripts wishing TO
finish their studies to postpone military
service till the age of twenty-five, and
grants clergymen the right to serve in
the sanitary department.
This period of active service in the
army is of three years for the first cate
CORY men. if they are in the infantry,
artillery, or engineer corps, and OF
four if they are in the cavalry. Sub
Geutenants must serve five years.
After three years spent with the col
ors, the great mass of the first category
are sent home on unlimited furlough,
remaining, however, liable to service
for six years, at the expiration of which
they pass for term of four years to
the active militia, and then for six
years to the local militia.
The second category are, in peace
time, liable to service in one of the sew
eral arms during a period of nine
years in the permanent army, another
of four years in the active militia, and
third one of six years in the local
militia; but they are considered as on
furlough, and only subjected to some
months military training.
The furlough classes of the first cate
CORY being sufficient to put the perma-
nent army on the war footing, and the
four classes of the active militia being
sufficient to complete the cadres of the
same militia, the second ca tegories are
really complementary troops serving to
replace casualties in the field army.
The men of the third category are not
in peace time called to service, except
for a few weeks training. All the
third category classes concur with the
six older classes of the first and the
second categories to form the local
militia. This is very numerous, and
although its technical worth is of very
little importance except in that portion
of it which is formed of first category
men, it can, nevertheless, in case of
protracted war, be used for garrison
service and the maintenance of public
peace, thereby affording means Of re-
sistance to the last extremity.-CoLG G..

The Mystery of an Ottawa, Kas., Win
dow Cannot be Explained.
OTTAWA, Kas. Feb. 12.-Conslderable
excitement has been caused during the
last few days by the shadow of hand
on pane of glass in a bay window of
the house occupied by Isaac 0. John
son, shoemaker, at No. 80 Cypress
Street. The hand was first noticed two
weeks ago by daughter of johnson,
and has appeared distinctly ever since.
1t is most visible in the morning when
the sun shines upon the glass, at which
time it may be seen from the middle of
the street. In the afternoon it may be
seen from the inside by holding dark
cloth before the glass. 1t has the APP
'pearance, at times, of a masculine hand
with yarn glove on, but sometimes
appears without a glove. Mrs. John
son has failed in all attempts to wash it
off. Her theory is. that there is some
one in distress calling for help. Strange
to say, on the very day that the hand
appeared her sister started from Piqua,
o., for a weeks visit in Chicago, and
has not returned nor been heard from
since. Large numbers of persons have
viewed It, and one and all confess that
they arc unable to explain it.

ENDANGERED BY ICE GORGES.
A Pennsylvania Town Likely to be In
nndated

A Pennsylvania Town Likely to be In
undated.
PIT1sBURG. Pa, Feb. 15.-Parker City,
the old oil town on the Allegheny Riv-
er, 100 miles north of Pittsbure, is
threatened with inundation from an
ice gorge. There are miles Of
gorged ice above the city, and the
recent SHOWS and rains have swelled
small streams into rivers. The ground
being frozen, the water all rushes into
the rivers, and the stage OF water IS
alarmlngly high. Yesterday the river
rose over five feet. The gorge extends
from Brady's Bend aud Elmerton for
long distance up the Clarion
River. The heaviest part of
the gorge is below Parker. Bust
ness men and the residents upon the
landing view the rising of the river and
the growing of the gorges of ice with
much apprehension. Unless the gorge
at Brady gives way. one of the most de-
structiye floods ever known in the town
is inevitable. The mayor of Parker
telegraphed Capt. Martin, who is
in charge of the Davis ISL
and dam, that unless the gorge
was broken at once there would be Sc
rious damage. Capt. Martin is arrang-
ing with Capt. Arris, the United States
engineer in charge of the Allegheny
River, to blow up the gorge with dyna-
mite. Nine years ago Parker was inun-
dated, and several houses carried down

GOOSE AND GosLlNGs.
An Old Sailor Submits Novel Designs to
Navy Department.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. ia naval
cruiser in the form of goose is one of
the latest novelties in naval architect
ure. This suggestion comes to the
Navy Department from w. r. Flick, an
old sailor residing at San Diego, Cal.
In crude pencil sketch he en-
deavors to show the naval authorities
how a vessel might be designed
after goose and make formidable,
fast, and safe fighting ship. The sketch
represents goose and number of
goslings. The formeris called a cruiser,
the latter torpedo boats. In the center
of the interior of the goose is some
crudely drawn machinery connecting
with the feet. which are to be the pro-
pellers. The head of the goose is the
pilot-house, a man with spy-gIass in
hand is peering through the eye. In
the after-quarter are number of Cos
lings ready to be launched. The tail is
to be used as the launching apparatus.
The writer thus describes his design:
The goose should be at least 200 feet
long. IS feet wide, and only or feet out
of water. 1t should carry "a goslings.
Each gosling should carry & men. They
should be feet under water and the head
4 feet above water They should be pro-
vldcG with floating torpedoes carried under
and attached to the bow, and arranged so
thst they can be detached at the will of the
nan at the head. They should each have
s propellers. They should have power
enough to run rs miles an hour. They
should be made of the best steel. bent to
the shape of goose. The propellers
should be where the goose has its feet and
the rudder further aft.
The writer considers his design not
only desirable for naval vessels, but for
life-saving boats. The shape, he argues,
wonld make it impossible to capslze
them

MEETING OF THE WHEELMEN.
Annual Convention Of the l.. A. w. at
Columbus, ..

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. i5.-The annual
meeting of the National Assembly of
the League of American Wheelmen
opened here this afternoon. Among
the important matters to be considered
is the proposition for an immense
meet at Chicago in October next
upon the occasion of the dedi-
cation of the Worlds Fair buildings.
1t is also proposed to appoint commit
tee to make arrangements for the hold
ing of the meet of 1898 during the prog
ress of the exposition, the exerc ises to
include grand parade OF 10000 wheel
men mounted on their wheels. Such a
parade, it is claimed, would be unpar-
alleled in the worlds history. The re-
that position has already created
an active campaign for the next
ticket. Talks with the delegates indi-
cate this morning that Mai. Charles
Burdette, of Connecticut, the present
first vice-president, will be elected
president without opposition. The
ticket which seems to have the support
of large majority Of the delegates in
cludes Thomas +. Sheridan, of Illinois,
for first vice-president, and q. Carleton
Brown, of New Jersey, as second vice
president. w. M. Brewster of Hi
nois, will be reelected treasurer. If
Burdette is elected president he will APP
point a new racing board, in which
event Atwater, of Washington, who
made the ridiculous ruling in the Tim
norman case, will be retired. The del
egates favor the adoption of rule di-
vesting the president of arbitrary pow
ers, and making the board as whole
responsible.
Ninety-one delegates and eighty:.six
proxies asked admission to the meeting.
In contest from Michigan the contest
ing officers were seated, and the con-
vention then took up the matter OF
seating delegates from that state, The
decision makes Joseph M. Bressler, OF
