NEW MEXICO'S MILITIA.
Annual Report of the Adjutant Gen.
eral Revealing Some Timely and
Readable Figures.

The report of Col. George W. Knaebel,
adjutant general to the governor and
commander in chief of the militia, is
very full and complete and shows that his
Office has been run during the year on
strictly military lines. The reports for
1894 showed 40 officers and enlisted men
as the effective militia Of the territory,
and for 1896 the strength is given as 4SS
officers and men including band of
nineteen pieces.
He says further: Your returns of ord
nance and ordnance stores, clothing ard
camp equi page, belonging to the United
States aud in the custody of the militia of
New Mexico for the year 1894 were
promptly forwarded to the proper au-
thorities at Washington, found correct
and sent to the second auditor of the
treasury department for final settlement.
The reports and returns for 1895 have
been sent this day to the adjutant gen
eraI, the chief of ordnance and the
quartermaster general with military
promptness.
The general index of the muster rolls,
etc., from 1847 to 1866 shows 1919 separ-
ate entries, which included muster rolls,
discharges, certificates for discharges,
certificates of enlistment transfers and
other valuable papers showing the SER
vices of many brave soldiers who fought
the Indians, and who served during the
war of the rebellion. Of this number 296
entries have been made during the pres
emit year. OF the number above referred
to, 70 officers and 1897 soldiers served in
Indian wars prior to 1860. During the
war of the rebellion the official records
will show that New Mexico sent into the
union army 1851 men.
In my report of last year stated that
I had in my possession 27A discharges Of
old soldiers; to this desire to say that I
have received two additional discharges
and have returned to the proper owners
six.
During the year the records of 228 sol
diers have been asked for. In 176 cases
certificates Of services have been issued
aud in ffty-two cases no record has been
found. My letter book shows SOC pages
of closely written matter connected with
this Office.
In closing his report the adjutant gem
eral recommends that owing to the limit
ed amount of funds at his disposal no
new companies should be organized in
towns or cities where one now exists, but
on tho contrary that the five companies
of infantry and four troops OF cavalry
now upon the rolls should receive all pos
sible support and encouragement

George Wentworth in the city, but
above that address was the name of
John Kenyon. She said:

She gave this letter to her maid to
post, and young Longworth met the
maid in the hall with the letter in her
hand. He somehow suspected, after the
foregoing conversation, to whom the
letter was addressed.

noters ought to have been well pleased

nature, they were not. Wentworth was
the least depressed by the ominous
start, although he admitted that the
letter received from the manager of the
china manufactory asserting that the
spar shown to him was Of no particular
salue, was q serious setback. Kenyon
maintained that Melville and Brand, his
manager of the works, were either ig-
nornnt or fnlsifiers of fact. The mineral.
he insisted, was oil that he claimed II

II hardly see how that helps us. said
Wentworth. They can't be ignorant,
for they know how to make china, while
we don't. On the other hand. why shoulll

they have in not telling the TRUTH"
That was q question that John was

equal to that OF 3, 900, 900 candles in the
channel-equal TO ratio of one to ten
hence, it is added. that, with the excep-
ton of the electric flashing light of
Planter, ear Marseilles, of 100000
candle power, the most powerful min
eral oil lights recently installed on the
French, Corsican, Algerian and Tunis-
ian coasts of the Mediterranean do not
exceed 80, 900 candle power, having a
luminous range Of about 80 miles in av-
erage weather. On the ether hard, in

TO 22, 500, 0c0 and 81, SEQ, 600 candles.
Further, the maximum light of French
lighthouse towers-that is, the height of
the focus above ground-varies from
about 90 TO 20 meters, but some towers
are, of course. on very elevated posi-
tions, SO that, taking the height of the
focus above the sea level, the highest
light, that of Cape Brearn, is 75l feet
above the high water sea level, while
Its luminous power is s, GOO candles and
its luminous range % miles. This light
is an oil light, and the geographical
range, or direct visibility Of such lights
on high elevations, is usually in excess
OF their luminous range, tine reverse of
this, however, being commonly the case
with electric coast lights.

An Initiative Monkey.

One of the drollest instances Of the
monkeys keenness of observation and
power Of mimicry that we have met
with Is the following: A retired admit
raj and his wife living It Cheltenham
had a favorite monkey. One day the
lady, hearing q strange noise in the
dining room, looked in 10 see what it
was. The sight which met her eyes was
a ludicroLs one. Seated in the arm
chair, with the admiral's smoking cap
on his head and the aamiral's specta-
Giles ON his nose, was the monkey, and
in his hand WAS The open newspaper.
which he shook and patted, while he
jabbered and gestieulated with great
emphasis at the cut, which lay blinking
ON the hearth rug. 1t was a clever and
carefully studied imitation of the testy
old admiral's zone and manner when
reading to his wife some passage from
the newspaper which excited his wrath
or Indignation.
II is strange that so little attempt is
made to utilize this strong initiative
faculty in monkeys. They might easily
be trained to perform as athletes and
acrobats. Some 80 years ago an Italian
ccant. who had a villa on the shore of
Lake Albano. kept a monkey which he
had taught both to row aEd sail a small
skiff. The monkey used to navigate this
tiny craft with great skill. bat unfor-
tunately d day, when climbing the
mast, be capsized the boat and was
drowned AS jockeys, monkeys might
surely be made useful and would fulfil
every purpose for which the manikins
who ride on race horses are artificially
