He was accompanied by his own stem

He spoke with some bitterness as to the
| 'embalmed beef" and the canned beef
furnished the army in the field. This
he characterized as an experiment for
which some one in Washing tom was
repcnsible. He said that the landing
facilities of the Santiago expedition
fwere inadequate and that the men were
short of rati6ns and medicines ann
might have been better spr0tecteds FROM
exposure to fever contagion.
Gen. Merritt told the commi salon that
HE regarded the Philippine expediNQn
as a decided success and would condAfefs

over. He spoke in high terms of the

: Indiana Experiment Station: The
direct Ioss from injury due to frost Is
OF considerable importance. We hear
most frequently Of damage to fruit
buds In the spring. and the damage to
the peach crop has become a standard
joke for the funny man. The loss Of
early garden crops receives less at
tention. but II the total were known. 1t
would reach quite . respectable figure.
Both spring and fall frosts often In.
jure the corn corp to the extent Of
many thousand bushels. Water is the
best protection from frost. The air
always contains some water vapOr, and
the warmer the air Is the more water
vap0r It can contain. At so degrees q
cubic foot Of air might contain four
grains Of water vapor. and usually con-
tains about three grains. When the
air cools. a point may be reached at
which It cannot hold up all the water
which 1t contains. II this is above the
freezing point, some of the water
vapor Is deposited In the form OF dew.
But when the water changes from
water vapor to liquid dew, a large
amount of heat Is given of and this
prevents q further fall of temperature.
But II the air contains SO little water
vapor that it can cool below the freez-
ing point before the water begins to
deposit. the water is deposited IN the
form OF icy crystals and we have a
frost. A moist air then is a protec-
tiOn from frost. The frequent shallow
that saves soil moisture.
will at the same time keep the air
above the soil more moist. and will
to some extent serve as . protection
from frost. DR.. Kedzie quotes a cir
where a recently cultivated
corn field was not injured by frost
that cut down the corn on surround
Ing fields. A more dir ect and effective
way Of protecting plants from frost Is
to irrigate the land or to sprinkle the
plants with water at the time the frost
Is expected. In this state few farms
have means of irrigating in the usual
way. But there are many farms on
which fruits are sprayed. and the
spraying machinery may easily be
used to sprinkle plants with water to
protect them from frost. This method
has proved practical and profitable on
q variety of early spring crops. An
other method is to form a cloud over
the field which will protect 1t. This
is usually accomplished by burning
at such points that the wind
will blow the smoke across the field.
The purpose is not to warm the air bu:
to interpose a layer of smoke be-
tween the plants and the sky. and SO
prevent the loss of heat. For this pur-
pose. smudge fires giving much smoke
are best. Special torches made OF
muck and clay have been patented for
this purpose. Those who have ex-
perimented in frost protection. seem

duplicate trains consist of the usual
mail, express. and baggage cars (the
latter furnished with bicycle racks, and
carrying q Westinghouse engine and
dynamo to furnish power for the elec-
trio lighting of the entire train), buf-
fet smoking and library cars. standard
sleepers, compartment sleepers. dining
cars. parlor cars, day coaches. and re-
Ginning chair cars. Entrance to each
car is by way of massive flush" vesti-
bules. finished In San Domingo ma
hosany. the elegance of which is but
hint OF the superb display within. The
bunet smoking cars are composed Of q
main apartment, a card room, and buf-
fet. They are finished in st. Jago ma
hogany. carefully selected for its color
and beauty. richly carved and inlaid
with the most delicate and elaborate
marquetry work. The style used in
the ornamentation throughout the
trains is the Empire, with a suggestion
OF the classic Greek, a combination pe-
culiarly adapted to producing rich ef-
fects. The standard sieepers are mas
sive structures constructed on model
to emphasize lofty ideal. and display
Ing In detail the architectural perfec-
tion prevalent throughout the train.
They contain sixteen sections. commo-
diOus smoking rooms and toilet rooms
at either end. The compartment cars
consist Of seven double comrartments
and two drawing rooms, divided In the
center by a corridor. The compart-
ments. in suites Of two or more rooms
are finished in different woods-pa-
douk. st. Jago mahogany. ana Circas-
sian walnut. and the colOrs OF the drap-
cries used in connection with the diff
ferent woods are in perfect artistic
harmony. The day coaches have some
new features. contributing alike to
comfort and elegance. They are fin
ished in Mexican mahogany, hand
somely decorated with carving and
marquetry: the ceilings done in green,
with effective geometrical designs. The
main room Of the dining car IS a hand

marquetry. The exterior of these
trains is unusually beautiful, all the
cars being painted Geep rich yellow
in different shades. and finished in
gold. The panel decorations and strip
ings are noticeably elegant, including
the Emr:re designs adapted to conven-
tional figures. The actual cost of "The
