Whistles In Sword Hilts.

The new tactics adopted for the army
contemplate the giving of commands 0y
whistle under certain circumstances,
instead of W word of mouth. Conse-
quently infantry officers have received
a intimatiOn from the acting chief of
ordnance that they are expected to pro-
vide themselves with whistles at their
own cost. The order says:
The major general commanding the
army, having approved the introduc-
ton of a whistle in the cross piece of
the guard of the sword for infantry of
icers, desries to inform you that the
commanding officers of Springfield
armory and Rock Island arsenal have
been instructed to make this alteration
as promptly as possible upon the receipt
of the arms. The cost, which will be
paid by the owner of the sword, will
be about S3.75 each for lots of so or
more. but the expense will necessarily
be greater where work is conducted on
but few swords at time. Washing

Automatic Iron Soldiers That Can Shoot
Forty Times Minute.
A fighting machine or automaton SOL
dier is the last work up to now of civ
ilization. Nobody in future need risk
his life in battle-that is, if a newspa-
per of Barcelona is not misinformed as
to the merits of a new invention. Ac-
cording to that journal, the inventor
has offered it to the Spanish government
for use against the Moors in Melilla.
He is ready, for a sum of e200, 600
sterling. to proceed TO the seat of opera
tions at the head of 100 of the new
combatants.
The machine soldier is made of iron,
and he is set going by clockwork.
When wound up, he can fire 40 rounds
minute, and he carries in his interior
a large supply of ammunition. Should
he be captured by the enemy, he can be
blown to pieces by means of an electric
discharge acting upon a quantity of
dynamite stored in his head.
The paper seriously declares that the
capabilities of the new warrior have
been successfully tested before COM

An Exception to Natures Laws.

According to the general laws of ma
ture, when body is cooled it becomes
heavier than when it is hot. There is
at least one exception to this rule. and
that is in the case of water. Now, be-
fore you read further, shut your eyes
and see if you can figure out just exact
ly how important this exception is TO
humanity. Cool a can or other vessel
of water from. say, 20 degrees down TO
40 degrees and then pour it into a tub
Of water the temperature of which is
any place between 80 and so degrees
You Will notice that the cold water
will Immediately sink TO the bottom,
and right here is an explanation of the
mystery of river and lake circulation.
But when your cooling process goes be-
low 80 degrees. strange as ii may seem,
the water becomes lighter than it was
when it was only one or two degrees
warmer, and If poured into tub heated
as directed above will stay on top or i'm
mediately rise TO that position. Now,
let us suppose that water continued TO
get heavier as it got colder. as other
bodies do; what would happen? Ice as
soon as it formed would sink to the
bottom. layer upon layer, and in this
way seas, lakes and rivers would be
frozen solid. But one freezing would
do for all time, rs the rays of the sun
would not penetrate the thin skim of
cold summer water TO a sufficient depth
to thaw the rigid mass. For us it is
fortunate that there are exceptions to
all rules. st. Louis Republic.

The trouble with this island is that it
has been growing. When the, govern

500 acres, and that was the amount en-
tered in the records. When two Leav-

land the amount OF land put in the pat
ents was 500 acres. But the island has
been growing through all of these years

fashion of doing. There are now 400
acres in the island. 4 coalbed, it has
been discovered, runs under the island,

Treatment For Wounds.

DR.. Eichler, in the "AerZt, Prakt, I"
advocates Peru balsam as dressing
which causes lacerated wounds to heal
quickly, its points of adaptation being
that ii adheres we'll and covers the en-
tire surface of the wounds: it has a
drying effect, but stimulates granula-
tiOns, and following application scab
is formed under which healing goes on.
DR.. Eichler states that its use is especial
ly indicated in the treatment of wounds
having a tendency to marked suppura-
tion or partial gangrene. and In in
jurieS of the hands and fingers the re-
suits are excellent. In practice. after
coaptition of the margins of the wound,
the Peru balsam is poured over the en-
tire surface, which is then covered with
thin layers of gauze moistened with
balsam and an ordinary dressing. The
latter may be left in place for several
days, though it is an advantage to re-
move the outer dressing daily and
moisten the gauze with the balsam
without removing it from the wound.
