girl at the hop that night. Perhaps
in some unaccountable way that self.
same girl will discover that both of the
cadets hands are bll-tcrcd by the pick
and shovel with which he has beer
digging a siege parallel or throwing
up carthworks. In his after life as an
officer the cadet may never have t.
labor thus with his hands. but he will
have to command soldiers who do. and
he must know how 1t is himself.
Camp Life for Cadets.
AS soon as the cadets march into
camp in June a guard is mounted, and
until the tents are struck. at the
end Of August, is the camp without
sentinels. Night and day. rain or shine,
they keep their silent watch. About
once a week each cadet has. in como
capacity on other, a tour of guard duty
which lasts for twenty-four hours. In
his best uniform he prepares for the
rigid inspection at guard mounting,
and hal ceremony over, he goes on
duty. Thelo are three ~reliefs. each
sentinel walking two hours and resting
four. 1t can hardly be called resting,
for the member of the guard stays or
sleeps at the guard tent with all his
clothes and belts on, and his rifle at his
side, ready to spring up at a moments
notice to repcl tho real or imaginary
attack of an enemy that may happen
along. The enemy is usually the In
specting officer, who comes around
once or twice during the night and
turns the guard out, to the great dis
gust of all concerned.
During the camp three hops are held
during each week. They last only two
hours, but make up in hearty. enthusi-
astic enjoyment what they lack in
length. The girls are relatives of the
officers and cadets or visitors at the
post, and come from all parts of the
country. In spite of the guard and
other duty the cadet in camp finds con-
siderable time for happy strolls around
filtration walk" with somc girl friend,
and adds, mayhap, his romance to the
many secrets which. the historic old
rocks keep for those who have gone
before. He is usually able to attend
a couple of hops every week, but
sometimes when he is most anxious to
90. he will b. unexpectedly detailed
for guard in place of a man who has
been taken sick. Or the department
of philosophy will decide that it is q
beautiful night for part of the class to
have practical astronomy. AS a sol
der he can only obey, and with a tel
escope for a partner and the crickets
for an orchestra he goes to his task,
trying, like -IIneas of old, to read in
the stars what career the future has in
store for him.

WHY Men Die Young.

1t appears, according to the regis
tration report Of Massachusetts, that
nearly twice as many women as men
in that State live to be over 80 years
of age. This is accounted for by the
great exposure OF men to accidents,
to weather agencies, to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety
Of providing for the family, all Of
which tend to shorten the life of men.
The dc1thS 10y accident among men
are more than thrcefold greater than
among women, and men commit sui
eide in about a thrcofold ratio as COM
pared with women.

Utilizing the Moths,

Few persons suspect that the com.
mon moth may be utilized as a deco.
rative artist, but he may be, if one
only be watchful, patient and &C.
Quainted with the creatures habits.
The larva Of the moth has a habit of
spinning about itself a sort Of sac
from the material upon which it
feeds. AS the worm grows it en-.
larges this sac by the process of Slit
ting it and inserting new material.
Now, if a mOth-worm that has en-
closed itself in red flannel be after
ward transferred, sac and all, to
white flannel the growing insect will
slit its red flannel covering and en-
large it with u covering Of white fam
mel.
If, then. the worm and the sac be
transferred to blue bannel, the creat-
ure will in course Of time enlarge the
sac with blue flannel, and thus clOthe
itself periodically in red, white and
blue. Entomologist Southwick, of
the Park Department, says that it is
no great trouble to put 4 moth
through this performance. New

Those who have been hoping to

New York City and State Will be dis
appointed in the result of eXper,-
mentS in that line which have been
going on recently in switzerland,
and which are reported to the State
Department in Washington by Con-
sui Monaghan, who writes from
Chemnitz under Il recent date stating
that tie experiments in aitcm nting
to utilize the waterfalls of Switzcr-
land 70. generating electricity for
manufacturing purposes have not
been successful thus far.
1t had been urged, he says. that
SwitAerland'S water supply if properly
utilized for obtaining electricity
would reduce greatly her cost of pro-
ductiOn. The fall from great hi9 htS
of her rivers led to the belief that
millions Of horse power were going to
waste in that country. and every effort
that science could suggest, ingenuity
AtNiSC vi MECHANICS diidtSt was
made in different parts Of Switzerland
to utilize water power in the gener.
alton of electricity. Yet statements
just published show that power costs
more in Switzerland than in England,
Germany or Bohemia. Fifty horse
power in switzerland under the use
of electricity generated by water
power costs SIG, against $24 in Eng
land and 800 in Germony. Three
land s29, against $l2 in England and
SlJ in Germany. Five hundred horse
power in Switzerland costs SO,
against SO in England, $13 in Ger
many and $l3 in Bohemia. When
the cost Of transmission of electricity
from the waterfall to the point
where it is to be used is added the
cost Of water-generated electricity is
even greater in proportion.
Up to this time the experiments
have not given the success Or en-.
coulagemcnt that had been hoped.
Consul Monaghan suggests that pos
sibly very large plants which will
generate great quantities may re-
duce the prOrortionatc price, but
when the cost of transmission great
distances is added the expense per
horse power is greatly increased. He
suggests, however, that where the
generating machinery is used to sup
ply electricity for light at night and
power in the daytim" the proportion
ate cost will be reduced, and that
with the constant Improvements
going on in the held Of invention it
may be possible in the United States
so utilize the power of Niagara, Mis-
slssippi, Merrimac and other steams
for supplying electricity to the mills
and shops of this country. 1t will be
necessary, however, to improve upon
the work thus far accomplished in
Switzerland, and that which has
been done there has been under the
direction Of the most Skillful cleo
tricians and scientists of that part Of
the world.

PrecautiOn Against Cold.

Mrs. Inchbald had a child-like di.
rectness and simplicity Of manner,
which, combined with her personal
loneliness and hating, broken utter
ance, gave to her conversation, which
was both humorous and witty, a most
comical charm. Once, after travel
ing all day in a pouring rain, the
dripping coachman offered her his
arm to help her out. when she eX-
claimed, to the amusement OF her
fellow-travelers: sob, no, no. wy
you will give me my death Of cold!
Do bring me a-a-a-a dry man."
