pay rolls. That sort of thing used to be the fashion in all armies. The col onel who had 800 men in the ranks for 1000 on the roll was considered re- markedly abstemious, for of course he had to divide with the general and some inspectors from time to time. The practice is not general now. But 1t prevailed in the French army before 1870, prevails in the Russian army now, in the Chinese army of course, and maybe in the Spanish army.
 To conclude that it does prevail in the Spanish army is much more sen sible way of accounting for the loss of 15,000 men than to conclude that they have been buried It is not beyond the possibilities that the enormous losses of the French in the Madagascar campaign could be similarly explained.

Lii Hung Chang is arranging to make a circuit of the globe. This will give the world a chance ito see the man who ruined China and made Japan the England of the Pacific. What Chang expects to accomplish by his trip it is not easy to guess, unless he has some diplomatic schemes on hand. He is too old to learn, and even if he were not, is too old to hope for time in which to impress his new gained knowledge upon his pig headed coun- trymen at home.

THE SHIP RAILWAY SCHEME.


 The senate has ordered printed for use of the senate late address by the noted engineer, E.. l.. CortheN, before the National Geographic society, on the. advantages of the Tehauntepec ship railway over the Nicaragua canal, an, address which has reawakened in- terest in both financial and scientific circles in it's subject matter
 The ship railway project, if feasible, is of especial interest to southern states for the simple reason that it would furnish a route from 800 to 1000 miles nearer than the Nicaragua canal. This would mean ordinarily that the ship railway would be reached some three days earlier from Calves ton and New Orleans than the canal could be reached. The immense ad- ditional advantage that it would give these gulf ports over eastern ports is at once apparent. The ship railway scheme, it will be remembered, was originally pronounced in every way practicable, and provides for about four parallel tracks with great nov able dock upon trucks on these tracks, in which dock ships of any size will be hauled across the isthmus of Tehaun- tepec.
 MT. Corthell says in favor of his plan that single track railway is all ready in operation between the gulf and. the Pacific, that it can be easily paraIeled and that the entire cost of the ship railway will not exceed $60,- 0O0,OOO, as against s133,OO0,OOO for the Nicaragua canal. The terminal point on. the gulf side would be but 800 miles from the mouth of the Missis- sippi, the passage across by rail would consume only twenty-four hours, as against from three to five days through the canal, while the climatic difficult ties, now dry, now wet, in Nicaragua, would not be met with in Tehauntepec.
 These are but a few of the advan- tages urged in favor of the ship rail way and that have caused the senate to call for the address in the consid- eration of trans-isthmian routes. One feature is at least gratifying-this great question of shortening the water route between the east and west is re- ceiving renewed and earnest attention and. whether canal or ship railway or both, shall result, the southwest must reap immediate and astonishing lY satisfactory results. The represent atives of the south and west in con- gress at this time could address them. selves to no more interesting or i'm portant matter.

THE MISSING 15,0O0.

General Weyler finds that 15,0O0 Spanish troops, who should have been
 turned over to him by Campos, are missing. The conclusion is that these troops have been killed or have died of disease, and the fact of the losses from time to time was suppressed. We don't take such serious view of the case as that. The chances are that the 15,O0O soldiers alleged to be miss ing never entered Cuba at all, and never figured in the war except on the

KITES MOVE THIS BOAT,
Description of a Novel Graft Soon
to Be Launched.


The most novel boat of all IS to be
launched this SUMMERTIME kite boat.
This curious craft is constructed of
light CEDAR 1t will be drawn through
the water by series of flying kites.
ANY man can build one for himself if
he has the ingenuity. Anyone can make
it speed through the water if he has the
time and patience and there is enough
of breeze.
An ordinary canoe or cedar-built row.
best, without sail, center-board or rig
cling, is attached to the kites by means
Of stout fish line. Across the bow of the
boat 20-foot spar, very light in eight,
but strong and springy, is securely
bolted, and on to this the kite tackle is
fixed. Three kites are necessary to
make the boat perfect, one large one
in the middle and smaller one on
either side The line from the middle
kite runs through ring in the very
middle of the boat, and passes through
small pulley to the navigator in the
stern. The lines from the two side kites
| pass through rings on either end OF
| the cross spar, anu Jutll W d SSh,Ni
ring from which point they pass
through small pulleys as the first one.
BY this arrangement, says the New
J York Journal, the man guiding the
boat in the stern has complete control
of his craft, He guides the boat by
means of his tiller and by the kites.
While it is impossible for him to face
the wind with this queer sort of sail, he
can sail up pretty close to it, and work
his way along sideways. By shorten
ing and frightening the strings of his
| side kites he can haul the boat up pref
/ ty close to the wind using, of course,
| his rudder at the same time. The CEN
trial kite, which is the chief propelling
| power, need not be changed during the
journey, and only the side kites when it
is necessary to change the course of the
boat.
The central kite is made of strong
bamboo wood and strong silk. The

framework for an ordinary IS to 18-foot
craft should be ten feet high and
about five feet at it's widest point. The
bamboo sticks are fastened together
with fine picture wire, which gives
iirmness to the structure that no wind
can weaken. The kite otherwise is
bull the same as any boys ordinary
paper kite. The two side or steering
kites are about half the size of the main
one They are never let out more than
half the distance from the boat to the
central kite, and consequently their
framework and guiding line can be
made of lighter material
To make the kites stay in the air even
when a light breeze is blowing and to
prevent them from coming down and
getting a soaking, small balloons are
attached to them. These balloons are
merely large enough to support the
kites, and are not intended to pull the
boat along any. With such attachments
the kites will remain in the air when
only a gentle breeze is blowing, and an
ordinary summers day breeze will watt
the kites and boats along swiftly and
quickly. Without the small balloons the
kites are apt to prove annoying, coming
down at unexpected moments to dip
into the sea. They are also difficult to
handle when the navigator wishes to
haul them down. When close to the
waters edge they are apt to dive I'M
tremendously downward and plunge
into the water. But the balloons keep
them floating until they can be hauled
into the boat.
To make the kite arrangements per-
feet, small automatic reels, similar 70
those on fish poles, are made for the
purpose Of winding and unwinding the
strings. With these reels fastened on
either side of the stern of the boat one
man can quickly control the three
kites, hanling them down, if necessary.

That
Tired Feeling

Makes you seem "all broken up" with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite.
1t is often the forerunner Of serious ILL
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. 1t is positive proof OF thin,
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it inn
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue OF the body. The
necessity of taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling is therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do you
is equally beyond question. Remember
