Brutes and Birds in Future Military Opera
tions-swallows Said to be Surer Than
Pigeons as HIessengers--Ho Elephants
and Dogs are Employed-The Goose No
So Stupid when Performing Guard Duty.
When thenext European war comes 1t
IS more than probable that It will have
novel and picturesque point of mill
itary interest about in the employment
of animals, which will play quite as
Important "a part in the campaigns in
their ways as the general and soldiers.
Ever since the earliest days Of war
from the very beginning of things that
is horses have, Of course, been mill
tary aids of the greatest value. Now it
is planned-indeed several of the Europ-
can powers are actively making ex-
periments-to draft other animals into
| the service, with the, exectation that
| they will be Of great help.
France, during the times Of the
| Franco-German conflict brought the
science Of carrier pigeons up to q high
standard of efficiency. Then it was
thought that no superior to this 1.-THE
| little bird could be found as a carrier
of disna ches. But the French mill
tary authorities are beginning to think
different now. Experiments have been
made with the swallow. and he has
proved to be swifter, surer and alto
gether more satisfactory. There is
| the greatest probability, therefore, that
swallows will be part of the army equip
ment for the next campaign.
A new idea has sprung UP in French
military circles nevertheless that after
all it is rather imprudent for great
army to intrust It's messages, frequent
] ly Of great moment, to such small birds,
so subject to attacks from the great
birds of prey that are continually on
the outlook for such as they. 1t has
been proposed that storks be trained
for dispatch service, the theory being
that the NEST instinct" in these birds,
their swift, certain flight. theia
dous Wing and leg power and their
strength to meet any attack whatsoev-
er in the air would render them ideal
messengers of war.
| The stork certainly could combat sue
cessfully any hawk and almost any
eagle, Besides, his splendid strength
would make it possible for great bun
| die of dispatches, of weight and size
! that a dozen carrier pigeons or swal-
lows would be unable to convey, to be
sent at once under one cover.
In Russia theory a good deal like
this has already been put into practice,
and a number of falcons have been put IN
training for the Russian army dispatch
service and have proved eminently sat
isfactory. The falcon himself is most
warlike bird and ardently resists every
attack made upon him. Warsaw and
Brest-Litewski, on the western frontier,
have been the seats of these expert
ments.
As to animals pure and simple, the
elephant cannon drawers in use in the
British army in India are very familiar
and, from the days Of the earliest Brit
ish possession there, have done mag

The Board Of Public Works has re-
sponded 10 the demand that the elms
be protected, and the work Of protec-
ton will be begun at once. 1t will cost
$500, and while 1t is going on some
other work win have to be discon-
tinued. But there is no public work
so important just now as saving the
noble and graceful trees that are New
Haven's chief pride and ornament.
There has been much whispering among
the elms during the last few nights,
and they have wondered why their
old friends have been so long in COM
ing to their rescue. All the red tape
has now been cut and there is to be
no further delay. 1t is shameful that
there has been such neglect. The elms
have done great things for New Ha-
ven. They should be promptly and ef-
fectively helped whenever they need
help.

1.-THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS"

Carrollton told him. But Jefferson in
sisted on calling in the janitor, and hav-
ing it invented while they waited.
'Posterity can never read my handwri-
ting said Jefferson. Besides, my
fountain-pen won't work to-day; you
know how 1t Is with these fountain-pens
some days ink will shoot out of them
like water out Of garden hose, and
other times you can't get it out with a
corkscrew.'
"Why didn't Charles Carroll Of Car
rollton tell Jefferson that fountain-pens
weren't invented either?" asked Tom
my.
IT don't think he knew 1t. A great
many people then thought that foun-
tain-pens were invented. And then
they talked a long time, and Thomas
Jefferson tried to get Benjamin Frank
lin to set 1T up in type and print it, but
he said he had to go fishing with his
kite that afternoon for electricity and
so couldn't; and then the others sided
in with Charles Carroll of Carrollt6p,
and Jefferson had to write it after MI
with a quill pen, and with sand to dry
the ink with instead of blotting- paper,
because the man who had promised to
invent blotting- paper had Joined the
army and gone off to fight the British.
So you see, Tommy, the men that wrote
and signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence had their troubles. But you
ought to be thankful that they did it in
July instead Of January"
Tommy thought a moment and then
said, Yes, am; but if they'd done it
about six weeks earlier 1t would have
given us a holiday while there was
school. and think that's pretty good
time for HOLIDAYS"

There are two kinds of picture hats.
One, to be worn with hair very loose
about the brow and ears, has a very
large crown and sets we'll down on the
head, the brim taking an inverted sau-
Ger curve. This shape Is carried out in
null hats that are mounted with enor-
nous soft bows and great sprays of
bloom. In these the hair and face are
deeply recessed, and the effect is de-
lightfully picturesque. The other, sort
has very little crown, sets right on the
top of the head and the very wide brim
stands out either stitfly level or jaunti-
ny uptilted. The hair with this sort of
hat is drawn smoothly away from the
sides of the head and forehead. The
face and shape of the head are thus en-
phasized. The hat is distinctly modern
in its picturesque effect and only a very
handsome woman with the air of fault
less grooming can risk 1t. Its trimming
is conventional, stiff loops, a valiant up
standing bunch Of plumes, an erratic
spur of flowers and a great self-pos-
sessed bow. FLORETTE.

 It is reported that Parisian physi. clan, Marmorek by name. has discov. cred new serum for the cure of erysip- elas, puerperal fever and bronchial pneumonia. This recently discovered remedy has been given the peculiar and lengthy name of antistreptoeooccique It has been seen at the Pasteur insti- ute in Paris and is a thin, colorless liq- nid, resembling water in almost every detail. No word has como so far as to its success or whether any really def mite cures have been made
 AS q matter of fact, there is only a very small quantity of it as yet in ex- istence, little more than tiny vialful indeed, but this is sufficient to have aroused pretty nearly all Paris-that section of it at least which takes an in terest in medical affairs--into making frequent inquiries and regarding the discovery as of. great practical impor- tance Dr. Marmorek says that he is be- set on every hand with requests for a small quantity of the serum on the part of both physicians and sufferers In q month and half Marmorek claims that he will have an ample supply and will meet all demands that may be made up- on him.
