CAMP THOMAS, LYTLE, Ca,

Saturday. July 2.
There HASN'T been very much excite
ment in camp of late everything seems
to be going on smoothly, and the gen.
eral health of the Co. is fine, there being
only one man in tire hospital and he is
there because of lack of patients they
wanted some one to treat and of course
he did not object, as he would have a
cot and plenty of good care.
We don't want any one to worry
about our not getting enough to eat if
it comes in as good quantities hereafter
as it has of late, for we have plenty and
good at that
There has been another change at the
Mess street, "Jack" and "Hobo" have
decided they have had enough so have
given up their positions and gone into
the ranks. Priv. Ward and Imlah are
the cooks now and from what they say
we will all be fat in few days but
you know new broom always sweeps
clean, nevertheless | think we can stand
the cooking if they can stand the kick
ing.
We are all looking forward to the
first of next week, when we expect to
receive our first pay from Uncle Sam.
The private's pay will amount to
about 1924.
A field desk was presented to each
commanding officer today.

Death md Birth Time.

There are great number Of curious
superstitions as to the time Of day when
q dying person is most likely to draw
his last breath, and the tide, moon and
the wind have all been supposed to have
some share in the matter. According to
The British Medical Journal, Raseri,
who has analysed 25, 474 cases Of death
and 86,5 of birth, where the exact
time of day was noted, finds that the
maximum number Of deaths OCCUR in
the early afternoon (2:07 p. n.y., and
the minimum in the last hours before
midnight, while the maximum number
of births occur in the early hours Of the
morning, and the minimum in the
early hours of the afternoon.
AS regards the cause OF this he points
out the hours of the maximum number
Of deaths are precisely those when the
pulse rate and the temperature are at
their highest in health, and when there

is known ns the "singing WE'LL"
In calm, fine weather sound like
that of an SEolian harp comes upward
between the tangles Of vines below.
At times the sound seems nearer
and clearer. Then again 1t recedes, as
il far away, and reaches the ear very
family. These changes take place every
few minutes, and with great regularity.
With an east wind blowing the wa

mysterious musical sound very faint. A
strong west wind causes the water to
rise aud the sound to increase In volume
and cleArness
But 1t is just before q great norther
that the old well plays its widest
pranks. Then for several hours the wa
ter rises to within few feet Of the top
Of the we'll and emits the weirdest,
widest noises that ever reached human
ears. At such times even the water

The well is about go feet deep. A
few years ago the land on which it is
located was bought by Mr.. Watkins,
who, not liking the sounds that came
from the we'll, employed two men to
fill 1t up. They shoveled dirt into the
we'll two weeks, but 1t did not affect
the depth Of water peroeptibly, and
they threw up the contract. From the
measurements of the excavations they
had made 1t has been calculated that
