BULLETS FIRED AT TIL. SIXTH.
Over a HiIiion Discharged on San
Juan Hill

Have you any idea or the hailstorm
OF bullets we went through on San
Juan hill?" said one of the officers of
the Sixth the other evening while at
supper with several OF his fellow off,
GERS who had been I'm the battle. This
started the discussion. and Capt. Ken
non Inquired out approximately how
many bullets were fired at the Sixth on
that eventful day.
Gathered up on the top of the hill
were 1900 Spaniards, and with their
Mausers they could fire 10 shots per
minute with the greatest ease. and this
makes $1,000 bullets which were rained
down on the Sixth every minute. The
battle lasted for an hour and half,
which is 80 minutes, and there were 80
times $1,000 bullets fired. for the firing
was steady and did not slack up at any
time. This makes 1856, 900 bullets which
were fired at the Sixth during the en-
gagement, and with these figures be-
fore one it is easy to understand why
only some 80 of the brave boys who
marched out of the city last April re-
turned
The estimate Of the number OF bullets
fired given above is conservative, as
the Mausers can easily fire 20 shots per
minute. and 1T is probable that nearly
100000 bullets were i'm .he storm OF
lead which the Sixth weathered.-Cin

THE ATMOSPHERE.
Suspended Moisture Gives il the
Blue Color.

Did ii ever strike you to inquire why
the cloudless depths of the sky above
us are so delicately blue? 1t isn't that
the gas we call air is i'm itself blue So
far as we know, II is quite transparent
and absolutely colorless. No; the blue
comes from the reflected light.
Air is never pure; you couldn't live
in IL If il were. Countless millions of
tiny particles. chiefly OF water, are al
ways suspended in il, and these arrest
the free passage of light. Each par
ticle has a double refiection-one inter-
nal, the other external-and so the re-
fiected rays suffer the usual result OF
what is called interference and show
color.
You will notice that the sky appears
much bluer If you look straight up tnan
If you look across toward the horizon.
The reason is that, in the first instance.
you\ are naturally looking through a
much thinner layer of air than in the
second
IL there were no air, and, consequent
ly, no watery Yapor, and nothing 10 in
terfere with the free passage OF light,
even at midday the sky above would
look perfectly blank. and all the stars
palmer than they do now at midnight

No LaXity in the Supply
Departments.
ZEAL AND INTELLIGENCE
Were Displayed by the Officers in
Charge OF All Of Them.
GEN. BOYNTON ON CAMP THOMAS

Washington. Oct. 6.--In his testimony
before the war investigators Wednesday
General Wheeler said he thought il
probable that many men had developed
typhoid after leaving the camp. While
IL had been considered desirable to send
such sick as could go to city hospitals,
he had cautioned the surgeons against
sending men not able to leave. He ad-
mitted that, before the steam laundry
was put to work, there was scarcity OF
clean bed linen for patients. DR.. Thomp.
son was mistaken In charging that the
chief source OF water supply was IA well
about rod from a pest pond" The well
was 400 yards from the pond. General
wheeler had encouraged the closest in
= spection from visitors, and had asked
newspaper men TO visit the hospitals
and report the complaints OF men. He
had also been glad to have the assist
ance OF visiting physicians in determin-
ing the conditions. He had issued an
order 10 prevent the use of ambulances
by visitors. He had encountered no
obstacles In securing such supplies as
ne had made requisition for In addi-
tion 10 using the money allowed to buy
provisions. he had used IL for other pur-
poses to add TO the comfort OF the men.
buying clothing, blankets, tents, bed
sacks, putting up the laundry, etc. He
thought there were tents enough to make
$4,000 men comfortable, while there were
never more tnan 10000 men al one time.
General Wheeler had heard OF but one
instance In which a surgeon had become
intoxicated. The man was relieved
from duty.
General Dodge asked the witness for a
seIeral expression of his opinion as 10
the conduct OF the various bureaus OF the
war department. Replying, he praised
the work of all the supply departments,
saying they Were actuated by zeal and
characterized by intelligence. He had
found the medical department. from
General Sternberg down, to be efficient |
and snxious to promote the best inter- |
ests of his department. The same was
true OF the ordnance, commissary and |
other departments. General Wheeler |

A boy about 10 years old stood by the

pocket full of pennies and still blub-

most healthful spots In the country.
There has never been a death I'm the park

Out of 2S00 men employed, there were
only seven deaths, and none of them
was due to typhoid. In 1890. in the two
counties i'm which the park was situ-
ated, there had been only II cases of ty-
phoid fever. The park was ESQ to 700
feet above the sea level, and the land
was rolling and well drained, being free
from swamps. The whole park was un-
derlaid by magnetism limestone and il
was from under this that most OF the wa
ter was secured. There were three
sources for the supply. a number of
springs. the river and artesian well.
There were now 36 of these wells, and

selected. The five springs, so far as he
knew. were Inexhaustible, and only one
had been exhausted during the occupan-
~ of the camp by the tropps. The wells
were also apparently inexhaustible In
addition 100000 gallons were pumped
every "a hours from the river. and this
water was distributed through TIE camp
by means of pipes. The river supply was
not designed originally for drinking pur-
Ioses but for cooking. washing and other
uses. However, the water had been

about two per 1000. 1t afterwards in

time. Practically all the sickness was
among volunteers. The regulars were
not sick. Asked IL each regiment had a
sutler, General Boynton replied that they
had something worse than a sutler; each
one had a canteen. He said that 37s
carloads OF beer had been sold in the
camp. Captain Howell asked about
whisky sales. and General Boynton re-
piled that IL had been difficult to cut out
the sharp moonshiners from Captain
Howelfs state. Chattanooga was a
splendid town, but the saloons were open
day and night. He deprecated the fact
that army regulations permitted the
canteen system.
He had never seen such efficiency In
