and were mustered into the Order as n. b.
Abbott Camp, II. The degree work was ex-

shown ky the young men, and they will
receive the hearty support of the GAR
and w re, many of whom were present
during the public installation OF the new
officers.
For the first time in five years the Maine
Division has made gain during the Sep
tember quarter. Although the membership
is only four greater than three months
previous, the "Pine Tree State " brethren
believe the tide has turned, and the Win
ter months will see much recruiting all
along the line. During previous years the
September report has shown loss of from
IL to ia members during that quarter.
This year the suspensions were only third
that of last year. At present there are 90
Camps and I 1892 members in good stand
ing. Encouraging reports have been re-
ceived from outlying Camps, and sys-
tematic canvass is being made for recruits.

In the loftiest tower in the city of
Vienna there is novel instrument,
known as the toposcope constantly at
tended day and night, for the purpose of
locating fires. 1t consists Of a good tele-
scope, which is solidly attached to an
arrangement of levers, while graduated
sections of a circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such way that
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in change of posi-
ton of the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus, the stability Of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the firmness of the fas-
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the same figures on the hori-
zontal and on the vertical sextant, and
since an index of the whole city has
been made it is but matter of few
seconds, when glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-
scope on the side, to read off the num-
bers, to look up the object and to tele-
graph to the central station the details
observed Local conditions are, of
course, necessary for the successful oper-
alton of such an apparatus, but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect.
The tower is over 500 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view of the great area of
the city is thus possible to the watch
man if the atmospheric conditions are
favorable

DINING AND FEEDING.

1t has been conceded that the degree
of civilization a people has reached may
be accurately measured by its dietary
Now, some one has said that ''the
American feeds, the Englishman de-
YOURS, the Frenchman Dimes " In view
of this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries to have advanced SO little. We
do not pretend to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves, we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, in every
sense-ample apology for feeding in
stead of dining.
But, of course, it was Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, of
course, he made it long ago, when, NOR
tifying though it be, honesty compe1s
us to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty. Times, however, and con-
ditions have changed, and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more to dine upon than any other man
in the world. The culture of man in
America will demand all the art in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed, with the added merit of honesty in
his food, the DISCUSSES incident to pow
erty of material not being necessity.

which we have not the advantage, and
