WHERE The new
DEFENDER WILL Be Bull I.
It Is to Be Constructed Under Lock and Key in the Famous
Bristol Yards Of the HeTreShOfS.

Bristol, r. l.. October 22.-On No
vember first the keel of the new cup
defender is to be laid in the Herreshoff
yards here, for the final plans have now
been approved, and the work on the
yacht will go on with it's usual care.
The boat will, of course, be built under
lock and key, the usual method of the
procedure that is adopted at the Heres
hoff works, and little beyond the state
ment that she will be of the bulb-fin
type and that her lines generally will
not depart radically from those of the
Defender, could be learned.
While the Herreshoff family is large,
it looks upon MAT" as its genius. At
the age of ten he could sail boat with
consummate skill and judgment. When
seventeen he became a student in the
Institute of Technology, in Boston,
where he still further developed his
taste for physics as particularly applied
to steam engineering and naval archi-
lecture In 1870. when twenty-five
years old, he became connected with the
! well-known Corlis Steam Engine Com
pany, of Providence, r. l., and with the
famous GeorgeCorlis gained great prac-
| tical knowledge in engineering and the
application of steam power. During his
stay at the Corlis works he designed
| the engines and all the naval con-
struction of the Herreshoff's.
When he left the Corlis company he

however, Colonel Bell had said to the
brieadier in the presence of witnesses:

And the brigadier, hot-faced, chag-

had replied:
"Ill make those words cost you your

Foftlons of our regiment were sent this

In the winter camp at Winchester
the officers dubbed together for social
amusement, And there was horse racing,
billiard Faying, glee clubs, and
what not. The programme would not
have BEEN complete without poker
clubs. It wasn't poker-playing for
fun. but for fresh, crisp greenbacks. 1t
was a game tabooed to the rank and
file, though INDUCED in on the sly, but
in every fifth hut occupied by the Off
GERS there was a nightly gathering of
colonies, majors, captains and lieu
tenants, and many an officer got up
from the tables with empty pockets.
There was a general understanding
that every player was AN officer and a
gentleman, but the news came sitting
down through the sergeants and the
cOrporalS that this was not always the
case. Indeed, before the winter was
over half dozen designations were
sent in because the holders of commits
sions had been detected cheating at
cards. Our own colonel, as we got 1t,
was holding aloof from these gather
ings, though being a conspicuous fig

stories of the amount of money lost or
wen by our company's officers. The
men of the company were pretty evenly
divided on the matter. The affirmative
side of the house was represented
by old Bill Hastings, third corporal,
who had spent years and years in the
lumber camps of Michigan, and could

my old clay pipe. It's a mighty en-
tlcin game, and if they wasn't playin'

The negative side was represented
by Joe Brunt, second sergeant, who
had been farmer all his life. When

Among the heaviest winners at any
OF the tables was the brigadier of the
second brigade. That he was a fighter
he had proved over and over again but
We had it early in his career that he
was not popular with his subordinate
ohlcers. 1t was given out that he lack
ed polish and education, and had Sc
cured his place through political infu-
ence. That he held it by being a fighter
was to his credit, but for all that he
was more or less ostracised. The GEN.
eral opinion Of the rank and file was
Atly expressed by Sergeant Lomax when
he said:
"Boys, the General fights like the
devil, and there's no getting over that;
but l wouldn't want to go into part
nership with him after the war is over

From an army corps down to the
weakest company it's all a family at
fair. One officer sizes UP another. and
the private sizes up all and is bound to
have his opinion. One day in the last
month of winter we in the sergeant's
tent heard some news through Sergeant
Frayne. 1t was being whispered about
among the officers that the brieadier
was sly one at cards, and that deft-
ness of hand helped him to win oftener
than luck.
"And look here boys" continued the
sergeant dropping his voice to a whis-
per, "he's getting string on our colo

The fact is that the moisture or dryness
of the air greatly affects the sensible tenn
perature-the temperature, that is, as 1t
seems to be. In the deserts of Arabia,
where the air is at once extremely hot
and extremely dry, the winds are often
unpleasantly hot
Hot, dry air has the quality of absorb
ency in a very high degree. The heated
arid winds from the Sahara are said to
absorb the waters of the Mediterranean
like a sponge, and at the same time the
rapid evaporation cools the surface of the
water.
The air from furnaces and steam pipes,
if unduly dry, absorb moisture from
whatever surface it touches. BY virtue OF
its absorbency. the surface of the body,
and in greater degree the membrane lin
ing the nose. the throat and the bronchial
tubes, suffers from the rapid evaporation
of moisture and loses heat in the process

time than the merest temporary re-
lief. At last l was induced to give

tune in getting rid OF the disease.
l continued using them for several
months and daily found that the
trouble that had made my life miser-
able for 80 many years was disap-

had left me and was cured. 1 say

says: 81 can scarcely tell what my

not agree as TO the nature of it..
One said it was consumption OF the

emphatic in declaring that it was
