Luxury in War.

Every fresh warlike appliance rather more costly than the last. The United States has been making expert ments with nickel steel, which may end in causing all the ironclads of the world to be clothed in that expensive mate rial In Germany the authorities have been experimenting with aluminium, and are seriously thinking of construct ing the heavy equipment of the soldiers - sword-scabbards, cartridge boxes, buckles and the like-of this metal There is talk, too, of corselet or breastplate of aluminium strong enough to turn bullet at long ranges. Per haps somebody will suggest silver hel- mets and diamond-pointed lances soon. The one consoling reflection Is that with all these improvements and appur- tenances the soldier will become so ex- pensive that no government will ven- ture to throw him away over business so destructive to garments" to use an Eschylean phrase, as fighting.

A DOUBLE COMMAND.

General Ruger VIII Have Charge of the
Department of the Columbia.
Upon the recent promotion of Colonel
Frank Wheaton. Second Infantry. to the
brigadiershp made vacant by the retire
ment on January 5, 1892, of General A. V.
Kautz. commanding the Department of the
Columbia, the quidnuncs resolved that
General Wheaton naturally enough would
be placed in command of that department.,
because it was the only one without
general officer.
Brigaiier- General David S. Stanley, CON-
manding the Department of Texas, will be
retired for age on the 1st proX., aud SO it is
that change OF programme has been de-
termined upon. General Wheaton will be
assigned to that command, and the Depart
ment OF the Columbia. whose administrative
affairs were for years controlled from head
quarters In this city and when it was part
of the Division of the Pacific under major
general. Will be under orders from the head
quarters Ia this city Of the Department of
California.
Brigadier- General Ruger commanded the
Department OF the Columbia, when he was
transferred here after the assignment of
Major-General Miles to Chicago. aDd will
issue orders this week assuming command Of
the northern department. The latter, since
the retirement OF General KautZ. has, for
administrative purposes, been under the
direct orders of Major-General Scho6eld.
commanding the army. This arrangement
has not been found to be very convenient
one, while on the other hand the proposed
change seems 10 be the most natural one
and will not appreciably increase the labors
of General Ruger.
This arrangement has also given rise to
the comment that there will probably be as
much of Delay in the appointment Of a
successor to General Stanley as there was
to General KautZ. No other general officer
of the line will be retired this year, though
the 21st prox. will mark an important retire
ment-that Of Brigader- General j. G. Kel-

His plunge was seen by several boatmen,
who lost no time in dragging him out. In
