General John Bankhead Magruder

dashing soldier and a polished society

Jefferson Davis while Davis was Secre-

Il had been IN Washington nearly all
winter, and was anxious to be assigned
to duty here, when down came an order
for me to report at some outlandish,
one-cOmpany post in the West.
Il went to the War Department and
sent in my card to the Secretary, and
was Immediately ushered into his
room. Mr.. Davis was sitting bolt up

said he.
Il thought that before requesting a
change in my orders / would try and
thaw him out bit, and so, after
few general remarks, began thus:

spise the French Then he began to
look over some papers.
II saw it was no good trying to work

again:

tied, and began to fear il was no use;
that internal order would stick. Now,
Davis and ! had been at West Point
together and in the Mexican war, so |
thought | would make one more effort
in the way of polite conversation.
When we were cadets at West
Point Mr.. Secretary
You have received your orders
from this department, have you not,
Captain Magruder?'
Yes, Mr.. Secretary: but, by the
way, do you remember the day in Mex
leo, just before Buena Vista, when my
battery was passing your regiment, you
called out to me
Good morning, Captain Magruder.
Upon your arrival at your post please
report the fact at once to this depart
ment.'
Then | got UP. We exchanged
bows, and went out of that room route
step. Davis never did like me, and no
amount of savoir faire on my part
could ever make him unbend for a
moment. He was like that from cadet
to the end of his Presidency of the Con-
federacy."

Slang of the Barracks.

The British soldier uses a yernacuiar
of his own, which must appear strange
to outsiders. For instance, he calls his
bed cot tho doss, and when he retires TO
it he goes bed-filling. His food has cur
ious names. Bread is rooty, and pud-
ding with raisins is known as spotted
dog. When he is only supplied with
bread and tea for breakfast, he says he
has singers. The gray-back is his
shirt, presumably from it's color, jack
boots are John shoes, and helmet is a
war hat. Kit inspection once a month
he calls rag fair. The sergeant major
is the bloke. the quartermaster sc.

smith is shoey, the tailor stitchy, or

MILITARY service
Balloons for warfare are feature of
up to date modern improvements. The
big European armies have a well-or-
ganiZed balloon, corps, and it is inter-
esting to know that Uncle Sam is doing
something in the same line. That this
government is interested in the air
fights of science is shown by the expert
ments, not only at the Weather Blu
reau, but i'll the Signal Service. Out
West, at fort near Denver, the gov
eminent has balloon in the course OF
construction which is to be used as an
aid in war The shape is that of an
ordinary balloon, but a drag-rope will
connect it with the ground. 1t will
carry several officers, whose work will
be to watch the enemy's movements,
study the disposition and strength OF
his forces, to make photographs of the
field and get all information possible.
An instrument called the telephone
telegraph, will be taken in this balloon,
and by means Of the wire, a CONVERSE
ton can be carried on between the oc-
cupauts of the basket and the general
on the field below. Telegraphing can
also be done by the same instrument.
which has recently been perfected by
an officer of this branch of the govern
ment service. Bicycles are used by the
Signal Service men and on a coil of the
wheel the wire is run and paid out rs
the machine progresses. Thus, when
the balloon has started up, the officer
on the wheel rushes to the tent of the
General and the telephone wire is car
ried along and let out till the tent is
reached. This work makes direct COM
munication between the officers on the
field and the man in the air, who from
his station has complete view of the
enemy and can thus give important in
formation to his superiors. The Gen
eral commanding thus gives his orders
from absolute knowledge of the enemy's
strength, and the disposition OF his
men. This will be of incalcuiable value
to the mode of fighting in the future.
The balloon, of course, is not designed
TO fight, but to be Watchdog and keep
a sharp eye on the enemy. In the event

be so high up as TO make its effect nm
certain. But even If it were struck
there is attached to the top parachute,
which would enable the officers to de-
scend safely into their own camp. This
parachute is part of the silken web of
the balloon-woven into the top so that
it is always spread and ready for action.
Should shot pierce the bag the silk
would collapse, but the upper frame
which is already parachute, would
simply let the car slowly down to tie
earth. The French Government is said
to have fine balloon built for use in
war. 1t is kept in large garden. aud
no one is allowed to see it, nor has any
drawing been made or photograph
taken. 1t is steered as readily as a ship.
1t Is expected that it will be on exhibit
ton in the coming Worlds Fair in
Paris. The French balloon is said to be
a cigar shaped envelope, within which
is the gas and small bag, which is to
be pumped full of air. An electric
motor drives in the rear a screw pro-
peller 1t is said that the ship will be
able to make speed of at least twenty
five miles an hour.

THE wAIANAE EXTENSION.
Only Nine Miles More to Build
A Contractors Push.

The 1:45 train from the o. r. &
L. Co. station Saturday afternoon
carried with it Mr.. B. F. Dilling-
ham and party of gentlemen on a
tour of inspection of the Waianae
extension of the roilroad.
The new line is complete up to
the six mile post beyond Eva mill,
and at the present rate of progress
should be completed to Waianae
plantation before the end of June.
The track, so far as laid, presents
a delightful improvement over that
between Honolulu and Manana-
the roadbed is especially solid and
without the says and hollows no
ticeable in many new pieces of
track. The roadbed is of lime
stone and the ties are of ohia wood,
the material for both being obtain
able along the line of the road and
at very much less expense than
if the ties had been brought from
the Coast. The rails are heavy
enough to stand any amount of
traffic that they may be called
upon to support.
Mr.. Bickall, the contractor placed
in charge of the work. after Mr..
Feek left for the Coast, is pushing
the work with phenomenal ardor.
He is now accomplishing nearly a
half mile a day, and at this rate
the road will be completed in a
very short time, and if nothing UNI
foreseen should happen it is the
intention of Mr.. Dillingham; to
make the day on which the last
spike is driven a memorable one in
the history Of the Oahu Railway
Company.
