WAITING FOR ORDERS.

Washington, March 12.-In anticipa-
Zion of rupture between the United
States and Spain, many officers on the
retired list have notified the secretary
Of the navy of their readiness to perform
any duty in the line of their profession
that he may deem suitable for them.
There seems to be considerable misap-
prehension on the part Of the general
public as to the liability of officers
on the retired list for active duty in
times of war. Section 1862 OF the re-
vised statutes bearing on this subject
provides as follows: mo officer on the
retired list of the navy shall be employed
on active duty except in time of war"
Under this section IL is apparent that IL
war should break out. all officers on the
retired list competent TO serve will be
subject 90 the orders of the secretary of
the navy.
The president has power to assign any
retired officer to duty during the progress
bf war, but can only assign hinf to the
command OF souadrons or ships by and
with the advice and consent of the sem
ate. There are many officers on the re-
tired list in the @ull enjoyment of health
and mental viAcr. d~SpiSe the fact that
they are So years of age. whose ability
and experience would undoubtedly be OF
great advantage to the nation in case
IL proved necessary 10 go TO war. Mo-
table among these is Rear Admiral John
C.. Walker, recently retired for age and
now engaged on special duty as president
Of the Nicaragua canal commission.

TO MAN NEW FoRT1FIcATIoNs.

Washington. March 12.-Orders have
been issued for manning the newly es-
tablished fortifications on the Atlantic
coast from Boston down to Galveston,
including the organization OF the two
new artillery regiments, numbers six
and seven. authorized by recent act
of congress. The Sixth regiment will
have its headquarters at Fort Slocum.
n. Y, and the Seventh regiment its
headquarters at Fort McHenry. In or
ganizing the new regiments six men will
be taken from each of the batteries now
in service, so that each OF the new bat
teries will have at the rate of is expert
enced artillerymen.
Fort Monroe, Va, Is probably the
strongest and best equipped station on
the Atlantic coast, and the garrison there
will be called upon to man other fortifi-
cations, but not TO an extent that would
weaken its own efficiency. One battery
of the First artillery will be transferred
to Fort Morgan. Ala, which. I'm conjunc
tion with Fort Gains. commands the en-
trance to Mobile bay. Another battery
will be sent TO Tybee island, Ga, for the
protection OF the mouth OF the Savan-
nah river. For the better protection Of
the national capitol. one battery of the
Fourth artillery at Fort Monroe has
been ordered to Sheridan Point, Va.
This fort is nearly opposite Fort Wash
ington and, in connection with it, COM
mands the approach to Washington by
water. The batteries of the Fourth ar
tillery stationed at Fort McHenry, near
Baltimore, will be distributed between
Fort Delaware and Fort Mott, N. j.,
thus providing for the protection of
Philadelphia, Trenton, Camden and
other cities in that vicinity.
Arrangements have been made by the
CO eff signal officer OF the army, by au-
tSjrity OF the secretary of war, to es-
tablish immediate telegraphic and tele-
phonic connections between all the new
stations on the coast to which troops
have been assigned. All the movements
are to be made without delay and are
the results of the recent tour Of inspec-
tion of General Merritt. commanding
the department Of the east, in which all
of them are located.

THE NATIVE DAUGHTERS.

The Native Daughters Board of Relief
composed of fifteen past grand presidents
and leading members of the order, has
been organized to supplement the work of
the subordinate parlors in caring for the
sick and destitute who are members of
the order. 1t has now on hand a small
fund with which to inaugurate the work
ii is to engage in, the result of donations
from pubic spirited friends of the Native
Daughters and from contributions from
subordinate parlors. 1t is the ardent de-
sire of the board to establish a Native
Daughters Home in San Francisco, where
the sick can be taken care of in the best
possible manner and at the least possible
cost. Fifteen of the leading physicians
of this city, representing both schools,
have already volunteered their services
free to the home. This home will be
opened by the board as soon as it is as
sured of sufficient funds to maintain ii in
running order for one year. The board
has invited Past President Clara K Wit
tenmeyer. secretary of Mills College,
to raise. the necessary fund. There is
some talk of giving an entertainment for
the purpose. Alta Parlor, at a recent
meeting, at the suggestion of Grand Trus-
tee Miss Eliza d. Keith voted 500 from
its treasury to the board. This may slim
ulate other parlors to make donations
At the last held meeting of Golden

of the work for the benefit of District

but that was known without the *
rays; the small crocodile proved TO be
part of human mummy; one OF the
animals, the lower one, showed tnat IL
was evidently a cat, though 1t had Deen
so badly handled that all its bones are
broken; still it Is recognizable as a cat.
But what is the other animal? 1t
seems to have no tail, and the shape OF
the skull, of the arms and of the bones
of the backbone and pelvis show that
it probably is not a cat. Then what IS
it? That is not so easy to tell, Tor IL
has some resemblances to number OIL
animals The arm, from shoulder to
hand, is longer than is generally the
case in cats, and the upper bone, or the
one called the humeruS, is stra1ghter
than in the cat; there seem to be thirty
three bones in the spine, whereas the
cat has but tWenty-seven; the Skull is
more arched, not so fiat and lacks the
sharp projecting ridge at the back
which is noted characteristic of the
cats skull; there is but little difference
in the length of the arm and the fore
arm, while in the cat the arm is much
shorter than the forearm; the hand,
too, seems to have longer fingers than
are to be found in the forepaw Of the
cat.
1 have carefully examined both the
plate and the prints made
from it, and l can find nothing that
would look at all like tail bones. The
ends of the bones of the arm are seen
to be not united to the shaft of the
bone-what is technically called an I'M
united epiphysis, which would show
that the animal, whatever it is, had
not reached it's full growth. Now 1t
would have measured not less than
seventeen inches, from head to the root
Of the tail if tail there had been, in life,
and this is a good length for cat that
Is not full grown.
In many ways it would seem to be
more like a young monkey than a cat,
though the particular features that
would stamp it a monkey are uncer-
tain. We know that the Egyptians had
at least three kinds of sacred monkeys,
and that at least one of these was
tailless monkey. And the monkey, at
Thebes, was regarded as more sacred
than the cat, so the greater care in the
would be explained if it were
monkey; it is certainly more carefully
wrapped than the other animal, which
Is evidently a cat. I am rather in
3lind to think the animal was a monkey
IF some sort and not a cat. But if it
S cat it is evident that there existed
,ats at that time which differed some
what from the cats we have to-day.
