WHERE HEROES sLuMeER.
Beautiful Arlington. on the Virginia Ban

Beautiful Arlington. on the Virginia Bank
of the Potomac.
The most beautiful of all the national
cemeteries and the greatest as regards the
number of identified dead is that on Ar
lington heights, near Washington. 1t con-
tains Is, 565 PIC known and
4,349 unknown. Its location, overlooking
the Potomac and directly facing the CAPT
tai, is perhaps the finest in the world. In
terments of soldiers were first made in it
on May Is, 1854, and the first soldier placed
beneath its sod was confederate. Before
that time most of the interments in and
about Washington were made in the Sol
diers' Home cemetery, northeast of the
city. Eight thousand soldiers who had
died in the innumerable hospitals around
the capital had been buried there. Further
room was becoming scarce, and Quarter
master General Meigs, glancing over the
magnificent Arlington estate one evening
IN company with President Lincoln, sud-
denly conceived the idea of devoting it to
the needs of the hour, and the order was
soon thereafter given by Secretary Stanton.
Mr.. Edward Clarke, the present archi
tect of the capitol, personally surveyed the
lines anu ldIu OuI GlO pIOGo III WAlCu GllO
first interments were made.
The property was owned by General
Robert E. Lee and his wife, the latter hav-
ing inherited it from her father, George
Washington Parke Curtis, the protege of
George Washington. The popular impress
sion is that the government violently took
and confiscated it as an act of Tetributive
justice, but that notion is misleading, 1t
had, in fact, been seized by federal troops
soon after the departure of General and
Mrs. Lee for the confederate capital, and
its gently slOping acres were utilized as a
field hospital, but in January, 1864, the
government bought in the property at a
tax sale for $4,000 and subsequently,, after
prolonged Notwithstanding from 1877,
when George Washington Curtis Lee, the
son to whom Mrs. Lee willed it at her
death, began suit for Its recovery,
down to 1852, when the government ap-
pealed to the supreme court from the YER
dict of the federal court in Virginia
secured valid title to it upon the payment
of $4,000 to the younger Lee
From the first interment down to the
close of the war Arlington became the CEN
trail resting place of the dead from all the
Washington hospitals, and as soon as the
war was ended the recovered bodies from
all the battlefields in the vicinity and north
of the Eappahandock, notably Bull Run
and Chantilly, were also gathered into it.

Origin of Death valley.

The Indian legend regarding the origin
of Death valley, in Mayo county, Gala, is
an interesting one.
From the outer edge of this vast furnace
it is 300 miles square and 100 feet below sea
level-one may see far off, tremulouS
through the shimmering waves of heat,
sort of butte that has the form of a ruined
castle. The story goes that in the old days
before the AmargOsa river ceased to water
the valleys, the place was the site Of a
powerful city ruled by princess as beau
ti1ul as Cleopatra and as imperious as Eliza
beth. An ambassador to the reigning Aztec
monarch described to her on his return the
glories of the kings palace in the city of
Mexico.
Resolving to equal the magnifcence of
her neighbor she began theverection of a
vast building. All the Iaborers and artisans
of the city were employed and the work
was pushed night and day, for within II
months the Aztec ruler was to be her guest.
and she wished to welcome him to a palace
as splendid as his own. She exhausted the
resources of her realm, men went mad
with toll and hunger, and at last the high
priest protested. He was ordered to execu-
ton, and, dying, cursed the city for the
princess sake. That night the earth shook
and sank, the river dried up and the morn
ing sun poured down a flood of heat. Ali
persisted, and now the ruined walls of the
palace alone remain.
The Amargosa, by the way, is most
cratic stream. 1t flows south 80 miles
from its fountain head in the western
Sierras, vanishes at Resting Spring noun
tain, is in evidence again for 80 miles, dis
appears for space, then hobs up and runs
along turbulently for 100 miles. All trace
of it is lost at Death valley,

The Uniforms of the Regular Army

The Uniforms of the Regular Army.
The uniform worn by the United States
army at the breaking out of the war had
undergone but little change for many years
past, and that little mostly in the style of
headgear. The color of the uniform dress
coat was the same for all grades and all
branches of the service-viz, daIk blue
cloth-the different arms being distin-
guished by the color of the facings worn on
the coat and the stripes that decorated the
trousers. These facings as prescribed by
the army regulations at the beginning of
the war were yellow for the cavalry and
engineers, scarlet for the artillery, sky
blue for the infantry and crimson for the
ordnance.
All officers were to wear a frock coat of
dark blue cloth, single breasted for cap
tains and lieutenantS, double brested for
all other grades. The coat for all enlisted
fo0tmen W as a single breasted frock coat
with nine buttons placed at equal intervals,
brass scales being worn on Che shoulders,
while for the enlisted men of the cavalry
and light artillery dark blue jacket was
to be worn in lieu of frOck coat.

siEnaling Between Trains in Motion.

Signaling Between Trains in Motion.
The frequency of railway accidents dur
ing last year would appear to have acted
as stimulus to inventors in the field of
railway signaling, for an unprecedented
numberof warning devices have been pat
cnted during the last few months. One of
these, which is specially worthy of atten-
ton, has been successfully tested by some
of the military lines in Germany. The
system is automatic, and is actuated by cleo
tricity. The circuits are so contrived that
two trains travelling on the same metals,
whether in the same or opposite directions,
are warned of each others position by the
ringing Of bell on each locomotive, while,
at the same time, the two drivers are
brought into telephone communication.
The same thing occurs if one of the trains
be stationary, so that. if there is any break
down on the line in front, the driver re-
ceives notice. The breaking away of a car
or cars from the rear of a train is also no
titled both to the driver and to the station
which the train has last passed through;
and the distance at which all these warn
ings are given and received can be varied
in such manner as to provide either long
or short "blocks, according to the require
ments of the traffic. In fact the system
seems to have provided effectively against
all ordinary contingencies, and its employ
ment should greatly reduce the risks OF
railway travel. The German government

white horse. They think it's bad luck, and
no matter how big hurry they are in
they'll always wait for car that isn't
drawn by white horses.''
I said something about superstition and
the foolishness of persons who stopped to
think about the color of car horse when
the driver interrupted me.
"Pm not so sure about that" he ex-
claimed. ''Ive been running car more
than 10 years and never had many acct
dents, but whatever bad luck have had
has been when was driving white horses.

get behind such team as this, and every

His Awful Snnrs.


Congressman Curtis of Topeka, began
life as a jockey and rode horses from 1869
to 1876. Then his relatives, who were rich,
persuaded him to go to school and he gave
up the turf.
''One of the fastest quarter-mile horses
in the west was Bob Ridley and nobody
but me could ride him. said the congress
man to Washington Post correspondent.
''While h; could easily pass anything on
the track, he had an ugly habit of throwing
back his ears and baking. carefully
studied all his habits, and in a big race
that was to be run one day fixed things
so that Bob would win, whether he wanted
to or not. [ got me a pair of spurs with
roWelS an inch long and sharp as a needle.
TO this formidable equipment I added a
whalebone whip that would cut through
the skin, and SO armed swung myself into
the saddle and took my position. Well,
the word was given, and away we went
like cyclone, Bob Ridley and I in the
lead, as 1 knew we would be. l was sure
of the heat if l could hold Bob level, but
just at that critical moment [ saw him
throw back his ears, AID 1 knew that the
next thing he would do would be to come
down stiff on his two front feet and stop. l
didn't wait for him to do it this time. 1
just buried the rays of the rowels in his
heaving side, fetched him a cut with the
Whalebone that made the blood squirt and
Bob and shot under the wire easy win
ners. He never tried that trick on me
again, but 1 heard afterward that he had
gone back to his old habits.''

Cadi and Council.

Justice is the end of government, and
every nation has its own peculiar method
by which this end is achieved. In "Our
Future Highway to India" an interesting
trial is described. There had been riot
and one man had been hurt. The ring
leaders in the riot were now put ON trial,
and a curious sight it was.
The cadi and council were seated round
a table. An officer called the 'kaimacan"
had conducted us to the place where the
trial was going on, and the party was ac-
commodated on a divan. The prisoners
were brought in under strong guard, the
wounded man and the doctor being at the
other end of our divan. The whole place
was crowded with witnesses and specta-
tors.
A more peculiar trial was never seen,
every one gesticulating, shouting and yell
ing. The prisoners abused kaimacan, cadi,
court and everything else, and were abused
in turn. The noise went on increasing till
it seemed as if the roof was about to fly off.
Suddenly there would come a lull and
every one, prisoners, guards and all, would
commence smoking cigarettes. The ring
leader in the riot cody took light from
one of the members OF the court After
pause, and with their lungs refreshed by
the soothing fumes of tobacco. they would
all again burst forth in chorus, and the
noise would be worse than before.
/ know not how the clerk to the court
managed to keep his notes of the evidence,
but perhaps he was accustomed to such
scenes, and managed to take down fair
descriDtiOn of what had occurred
Though there was fresh blood on their
clothes, and some long hairs were sticking
to the sword of the one who had actually
struck tie blow, the prisoners swore they
were innocent. Luckily the case did not
rest on. fraiI testimony, as an officer had
been present and seen the man cut down.
So far everything went to convict the cul-
prits, but the question of provocation given
and received had to be debated before the
punishment could be awarded.
