Picture Trains and Their Uses.

The Western of France railway runs
an express train in the morning from
Paris to ST. Malo and Parame, the car
riages of which have pictures upon
them. One has an elephant, another
Tyre, another a snake and so forth.
There are anchors, huntsman horns,
balloons, tricolored flags, punches OF
grapes, swallows, a pair of scales,
star, an angler with his fishing rod. IL
is thought that one of these designs Will
be more readily remembered than
number, and, according to all accounts,
passengers are very pleased with the
innovation. Before long the Western OF
France directors hope to have picture
trains on all their lines. The man who
leaves the train for drink and can't
find his carriage again will appreciate
the change, but for overthirsty people
are not snakes just little too suggest

Paine, who was then the secretly of

by the French minister, for $1,000 a
year, "to inspire the people with senti-

the rascal earned his money, but who
the other members were that were thus
inspired we do not know. That such
inspiration, " however, was used to a
greater or less extent there can be no
possible doubt One Of the biographers

UNIFORMS OF SOLDIERS,
Statistics Show That Austrian Gray Is the
Least Fatal Color

hChoO EaoaA COiOTs
''The criticisms of the new summer
uniforms for the. army, and especially
against the canvas uniform designed by
General Miles, Y explained an army Off
Ger to reporter, care nearly all made
in ignorance of facts and requirements
in the case. Nearly everything in CON
nection with the army has been reduced
to cold statistics, and it is these that
govern such matters rather than theo-
ries. The ideal uniform should be slit
able for the season and the place and
circumstances under which it is worn.
The color should be that which mostly
resembles that of dried grass, so that
soldiers wearing it would be as little in
evidence as possible
"The red and glazing uniforms of the
British soldier of years ago has been en-
tirely discarded by that government,
for the reason that it too clearly indi-
Gated the wearer to an enemy. 1t proved
to be the most fatal color that has yet
been devised. On the other hand sta
tistics prove the Austrian gray is the
least fatal. Where II soldiers wearing
the British red fell by the bullets of an
enemy only Z who wore rifle green, 6R
who wore brown and who wore a4the
Austrian blush gray fell. General Rob.
ert E. Lee, who made an investigation
into this matter when he was in charge
of West Point before the war ofNthe
rebellion, made report in favor Of
gray as the color for uniforms, and ev-
er since then the cadets at West Point
have worn uniforms of that color. 1t
was also for this same reason that Gen
eral Lee adopted the gray colored uni
form for the Confederate army The
crack regiments of the country wore
gray uniforms before the war in COnse-
uuence of General Lees report. There
is no doubt that soldiers are hit in bat
tie according to the color of their uni
FORM In the last war the Union cause
lost many thousand men who would
not have been lost had the uniform been
less decided in color. The dark blue
uniforms worn by officers the first two
years of the war were especially fatal,
as they gave sharpshooters an easy way
to distinguish officers. 1t is needless to
say that the dark blue was very gener-
ally discarded by officers before the wal
was over especially for real engage
ment uniform. Any color will do fol
parades, practice and the like, but
when it comes to fighting that which
makes. the, soldier less conspicuous if
7 the least fatal for war. The new canvas
uniform affords less opportunities to al
enemy than any other which has evel
been designed, and from distance al
approaching army can hardly be distin
guished by the naked eye, because thu
color is SO allied to that Of the drieC
grass over which the army is march

Greatest Development of the War.

The above means Dewey. OF all
whom our war with 81 ain has made
prdmihent Admiral George Dewey of
Vermont is pre-eminent.. The three
most prominent figures in the United
States navy today are Dewey, Samp-
son and Schley. There has been
foolish wrangling among the friends
of Sampson and Schley as to which is
the biggest hero, but fortunately both
men were big enough to pay no atten-
ton to this. They have both done
their duty and done it well without
any attempt on the part of either to
calm honors belonging to the other.
Concerning Dewey's position there is
no question. The unanimous voice OF
the American people place him above
all the other heroes of the war. The
following from the lions Herald is a
splendid comparison of the three men:
Dewey is the greatest development OF
the war. He is more than Sampson and
Schley united Sampson is cautious,
wise, safe, maker of navies, but lacking
the nerve and dash which would venture
enough to win the greatest victory.
Schley has thu daring and the dash for
the hour of battle, but lacks the balance,
self control, and judicial qualities that
would make it safe to intrust him with
a great commission. Dewey possesses all
that Schley has i'll courage and venture
SOmeneSs, and more than Sampson in self
pOiSe and comprehensive abilities. Samp-
son and Schley have won distinction in
the navy; Dewey is large enough to win
it anywhere.

Proctor Would Increase the Army,

Senator Redfield Proctor has made
a care I'll study of coast defenCes and
army affairs and is a. near an expert
in these matters as it Is possible for a
public man to be. His opinion on most
anv question is worthy of cOnsidera-
ton and especially is this so on mat
tiers pertaining to the war department.
In long interview in last Sundays
Globe he says that two main results of
the war have been the putting of our
coast defenses in such condition that
no nation would dare to attack our
principal ports and the assurance that
our army will be increased. When he
was secretary of war he made recon-
mendations to congress for the increase
of the army but it was difficult to get
that body to do anything. As soldiers
will now be needed for garrison duty
in our conquered islands there is no
doubt about steps being taken to give
us an adequate army. Now there Is
one soldier to about 2500 of population
and Senator Proctor THINKS that one
to every 1000 would be about right.
He did not believe In maintaining a
very large army at home In time OF
neace and thought that we were never
Sn less danger of war with any OF the
nations than now. In regard to its be-
ing necessary to keep a guard in Cuba
very long Senator Proctor said that
the Cubans are naturally peaceful
people and would no doubt be easily
controlled. He expected that there
would be quite rush of Americans to
Cuba and Porto Rico and this in his
opinion would help to settle the ques-
ton of the prosperity and content
ment of the natives. Wherever our
people go to open up new enterprises
tbeV will take money with them and
the distribution of that will bring pros
neritv. The Senator left for a short
visit to Great Britain and Switzerland
a few days ago and while away will
matters. He is making a careful study
of the subject of army increase with
the object in view of laying before
Congress a fully matured plan for the
reorganization of the army.
