Russia Can Place q Mighty Military
Force In the Field.
The army of the car is composed of
81 corps d'arme divided up into II con-
scriptions. The strength of each corps
is about $4,000 men. The infantry COM
prises about 165 regiments of the line,
20 regiments of chasseurs, 16 regiments
of grenadiers and IL regiments of the
guard. This is a very fine army, we'll
organized, of great resisting power and
prodigious tenacity, says the Detroit
Free Press. It is armed with a repeat
ing rifle very much like the French L.
bel, and which is highly esteemed by the
Russian generals. The artillery is COM
posed of So siege batteries, 1914 field
batteries, Is mountain batteries, 43 bat
teries, cheval and three mortar" regi-
nlents-altogether nearly 5000 light
pieces and 1900 siege guns. j..
Besides this there are brigades of
engineers, military train, railroad cleo
tricians, torpedoists, velocipedists, po-
lice, etc. AS to the imperial cavalry it is
we'll known to be one of the finest and
by far the most considerable in Europe.
1t is composed of regulars and regi-
ments like Cossacl0s, for example, who
enjoy certain degree of independence
and some privileges and who yet submit
to the usual discipline. This cavalry is
divided into GIL squadrons, of which 352
are regular cavalry, cuirassiers,
dragons, uhlans and hussars and 319
Cossacks.

ALUMINIUM CLOCK HANDS.
Substantial Advantages Attending
Their Use On Big Clocks.

Substantial Advantages Attending
Their Use On Big Clocks.
Aluminium is now used in making
clock hands, for which it is an ideal ma-
teriaL. The pointers of great clocks
were formerly made of soft wood, says
and exchange. For these were substi-
tuted pointers made of thin sheets of
copper, pointer being composed of
two strips, which were cupped or hol-
lowed, and then brought together edge
to edge, with the rounded sides out,
thus giving rigidity as well as lightnes&
Aluminium pointers for big clocks are
made in this way, but they are far
lighter and easier to balance.
It is not unusual, on large clocks in
windows and elsewhere, to see pro-
jecting from the baseof the long pointer
and in line with the rod with it q ball at
the end, this rod being perhaps third
as long as the big pointer. This rod
big pointer, which, without counter
weight, would, in its movement around
the dial, bear unevenly upon the arbor
or shaft which carries it. On great
clocks, and often on big clocks indoors,
this counterpoise is placed inside the
dial, out of sight, on the arbor.
The heavier the pointer the greater
the weight required in the counter
poise; the greater the weight the more
friction On the arbor; and the more
friction the greater power required to
drive the clock. BY the use of alumni
ium pointers these drawbacks are re-
duced to minimum.

GARLIC PLANT DOES NOT SMELL
Only When Bulbs Are Broken IL the
Strong OdOf Perceptible,


Strong Odor Perceptible.
About three-quarters of the garlic
used in this country is imported from
Italy. 1t comes in hampers containing
about 10 pounds each. Garlic, says the
New York Sun, is raised in this country
in Connecticut, in Louisiana, in Texas
and in New Mexico. All garlic, both i'm
ported and. American, is put up in
strings or punches, something like the
punches in which onions were once
sold in this country, but much longer.
American garlic is shipped in erates
and barrels; some from the far south
west comes in Long cylindrical baskets.
Garlic is sold by the pound, or by the
single bulb, which is sold for penny.
In its commercial form, whole and dry,
garlic does not yield the strong smell
for which it is famous. In wholesale
produce establishment where garlic
was stacked up in quantities there was
no noticeable odor from it. But If one
of the several smaller bulbs of which
each root are composed and which are
called cloves Of garlic be broken offand
brpken In two the powerful odor be-
comes perceptible,
The aggregate consumption of garlic
in this country is large, and our ex-
ports OF it to South American counr
tries, which include American garlic

gress is apt to tickle the vanity of a
private citizen.
