How Men Njuht Nowudays.

Washington Star: George P. Gross,
the colonel of the Third regiment,
:alked Of war to a reporter this morn
ng-about war as it really is.
There have been changes in war
tactics since the civil war, said he.
For instance, soldiers used to line up
IN battle shoulder, to shoulder and
stand out in the open under n CALLING
fire. That has been changed. In the
Spanish war infantry. will do most of
is fighting in extended order. When
the regiments are in line firing the
men will be three, four, five, or even
Xix feet apart. The extended order line
! similar to the sk~irmishaline. 1t is All
Effective way of fighting and greatly
reduces the loss of men.
10 march men upon the field Shout
aer to shoulder in the fict of rapid
firing artillery means a great slaugh-
,cr. Calling and Hotchkiss guns
would simply NOW them down. Then,
too, she men are allowed to protect
Themselves. They lie down and with
their trench k~niresssor bayonets scoop
up loose earth,seNareihsis great pro.
lection from infantry fire. Loose earth
will stop rifle bullets.
"In Thc last war we used to raise
earth fortiicntions and tramp the
earth down hard. That is just what
ave should not have done. We should
glave thrown up the earth loosely.
Sin an engagement a regiment is
marched out upon the field in three
battalions under the command of ma
.iors, the companies-four to a bat
talion-commanded by the captains.
BY this means the colonel and lieute1i-
mt colonel can direct the mnneuver-
ing Of the regiment. It is much more
effective than the old method of bring
Ing the regiments into action in close
order"

Mathematics. Animals.

Llppnicott's Magazine: Several years
ago there lived In Cincinnati a mule which
was employed by a street railway COM
In hauling cars up a steep incline. This
animal was hitched in front of the regu-
lar team, and unhitched as soon as the
ear arrived at the top of the hill. 1t made
a certain number of trips in the forenoon.
q have forgotten the number but will
say fifty for the sake Of convenience, and
D like number in the afternoon. resting for
an hour at noon. AS 500 as the mule
completed Its fiftieth tript II marched away
to its stable without orders from Its drty-.
er. To show that 1t was not influenced by
the sound of the factory whistles and
pells, the following remarkable ACTION on
;he part of this animal ~is5youched5 for by
he superintendent of the line, who gave

ing a musical festival, this mule was
transferred to the night shift. andtthe very
started for the stables. II took the COM.
pined efforts of several men to make It re-
turn to Its duty. At night there were no
bells or whistles to inform the creature
counted the trips, and. having finished It's
sull quota of fifty, 1t thought that the time
TOR rest and food had arrived.
Some monkeys give unmistakable cyl
acnces of the possession BY them of the
computing faculty. In 1883 I made the ac-
auaintance of a very Intelligent chiSlpan-
gee which counld count as 2high as fhree.
That this was not a trick suggested by
sensual Impulses I had ample opportunity
10 satisfy myself. The owner of this. AMI

Rabbits In Australia.

Mr.. Walter Dalrymple Severn recent.
Iy delivered an illustrated lccturex0 a
large audiepcazatstlu Imperial institute,
london, on aThe Rabbit Plague in
A~ustralia. The lecturer said 1t was at
the period of the highest prosperity OF
Australia and New South Wales that a
patriotic gentleman thought it would
be a good thing to import a few rabbits
into the colony, rs they would serve for
food and for sport.
He accordingly imported three couple
Of rabbits and they were turned loose.
1t was not long before it was found that
the district in question had been trans
formed into a gigantic rabbit warren.
Indeed, 1t was discovered that a single
pair Of rabbits, under favorable clrcum-
stances, would in three years have a
progeny numbering 1878, 900. Sir
Saul Samuel, in moving u vote of thanks
to the lecturer. said the government
of New South Wales had 1900 schemes
sent in when the f25, 900 reward was
offered, but none of them were really OF
a practical nature, and the reward was
withdrawn.

The elder lady looked almost hopelessly at
the younger one. How was SHE to cope with

1t? She felt that she might rs well try to

try to control this wi.lful, undiscipllned dis

What shape will your vengeance take,
Pauline?' she asked, calmly.
II do not know. Fate will shape 1t for
me my opportunity will come in time"
vengeance is n very higll-sounding
word" observed Miss Hastings, .'but the
thing itself generally assumes very prosaic
forms. You would not descend 10 such a
vulgar deed as murder, for instance; nor
would you avail yourself Of anything so COM

the governess extract aught further from

sweetest of smiles awaiting him, Lady Dar-

with a few flowers in her golden hair. She
knew that she was looking her best; it was
the first time that the captain had seen her
In her present position, so she was anxious
to make n favorable impression on him.

she said, holding out one white hand i'll

Continued next week.)
HE WAS AN II" CAR HOG.
hut the Quiet Young MAJ Got Completely
square"

The "L' car hog is he who tries to
occupy, to the exclusion OF anyone else,
one OF the cross seats in the center OF
the car. He utterly ignores the fact
that these seats are "buflt for two" and
is a crustly. crowding neighbor to any
one who has the audacitv to sit beside
him. Regular patrons Of the III" roads
know this hog-thoug. his name is al
most ~legion-and usually give him .
wide berth.
Last Wednesday, Just rs an uptown
train was leaving Twelfth street a
young man entered one of the cars. He
sauntered through and found that the
only vacant place was beside one of
these typical hogs in a cross seat. The
young man paused and looked ut the
other man, but the hog sat squarely in
the center of the eat and looked uncon-
cernedly out of the window. So tho
young man, rather than take the crowd
ing which the hog would be sure to in
ilct, passed through and stood on the
platform.
When the train stopped at Eighteenth
street the only passenger.to get aboard
was a rather rusty-looking mar who
certainly weighed over 800 pounds.
The young man was quick wittcd
enough to see his chance.
"Do you want to earn a half dollarP"
he demanded.
"Sure."
"See that maj in the cross scat-the
only n who is sitting alone?"
u see him."
We'll, take this half-dollar and then
60 and sit in the same seat with him.
Don't be afraid of crowding him."
The rusty-looking individual obcyed.
His more than 300 pounds of tissue
forced the glaring hog to the window.
He was crushed and squeezed by his
bulky neighbor. The hog began to
fume, fuss aud frown, but said never a
word, though he was now able TO oc-
capy but Il quarter of the scat. The
other passengers were quick to note
the discontinue of the hog and grinned
their appreciation. The hog perceived
this and fumcd some more. The only
one who appeared utterly unconscious
was the rusty-looking man who weighed
over 800.
But the 81" car hog never admits de-
feat. This specimen didn't. He stuck
TO his now narrow perch even after
there were other seats empty and so did
the fat man. They rode to Forty-third
street together, and it was a very bad
half hour for the hog.
The young man who had instigated
it all got off at Thirty-ninth street and
a scraphic smile was on his face.-CA;.

Experiments VII. Liquid air.

Chicago Tribune: "a capful OF
wind is IN old sailor phrase, but. it is
likely 500 to be relocated TO the OBJ
solete list by a"buckctful of air'-yes,
air in buckets.
a milkcanful of liquid air was

to Prof. Barltcr's laboratory Mt the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, aud was la
lled out, poured out, boiled and every
thing else done with it that can be done
with any liquid. except to freeze it.
And yet how cold it was! What
would the reader think of 32O degrees
below zero? That was the temperature
of this new fluid. and yet it was not
frozen. 1t would boil when Il chunk OF
ice was thrown into it, because the ice
was so warm that it raised the air to
It's boiling point. Aid what became of
the ice? Why, it was frozen so hard
in this liquid that when hit with !.
hammer its brittleness made it, fly into
small fragments.

He cendenses air by pressure of 1000

means. Then he sends it through II

The size of a fine needle. It. expands

considerably. This cooled air springs
up by another coil, which it cools down

this third coil in a liquid stream as
large as the finger without any press
urc at all, and that without any other
source Of cold but the expansion Of the
air itself.
