ST. PAUL, MINI, Sept. 21.-This
incident Of camp life at Chickamauga
is related by member of the 1st Iii
nois regiment in battalion command
ed by Major Joseph b. Sanborn. The
story began when Private Jack Hol-
land was kicked by mule. Two days
later the mule died in camp. That
was Oh Sunday.
Arrangements had been made for
divine service in y grove adjoining the
camp. Major Sanborn assembled the
lst battalion and when ranks were
formed he said:
OF course, attendance on Sunday
service cannot be made compulsory in
the army and all those who do not de-
sire to attend will take one stem to
the rear
Twelve men promptly fell out of the
ranks. The rest of the battalion
marched away to the grove. Then the
major, turning to the squad of twelve
men, said:
l want you men to go ont and bury
that mule this afternoon.
They looked at one another a minute.
This was one Of the soldiers duties
they had not counted on when they
took the oath of allegiance, but there
was no getting away from the order,
and they set out for the spot where
Jack Hollands late aggressor lay in
the sun. 1t was 2 o'clock when they
began work, and the mule was an or
dinary sized animal, but when they
had dug down into the sand for an hour
or so and made grave about six feet
deep, they turned to look at the mule.
and it seemed to have increased in d.
mensions. They returned to their task
and dug still deeper and wider, and
every time they glanced back at the
mule it seemed larger than before.
The sun, with one parting whaok at
the dead mule, disappeared over to-
ward Lookout Mountain before that
grave was large enough, and meanwhile
the rest of the battalion had returned
from service and sat around in the
shade, writing home and extending
encouraging remarks to the grave
diggcrs.
1t is related that on every Sunday
thereafter those twelve men occupied
front seats at the services.

In lGs annual report Just issued. Ma
tionai Commissioner Of Education Ilar-
IT'S makes some encouraging state
mcnts. Among them is the increase. of
over quarter of II million pupils dur
ing the past year in nxr"ss nr .i::. =.
tendance during the previous one.
Other notable features in his rcnort
are that. the total enrolment in rlc-
mcntliy schools amounted to about fir
Teen and 0nchalf million and the
number "i >tudcntsi in colleges, uniyrr-
Sltlcs' academies and high schools wns
ABOUT '''','', more: That. at the rate
observed in ., the total average. of
scho"iinE per individual for the whole
united States amounts 10 very nearly
1ivo years of POO days each; and that n
little over onc-tifth of Tho. entire pop,,
lation attended school at some time
during the ye;lr. Perhaps the most
noteworthy section in Commissioner
Harris report is that in which II.
dwells upon the marked incrcnsc ,lur-
ing tho past few years in the number
OF scientific and technical schools in
the country. In the nix years, he snys.
from 1890 to 1896 the number of stu-
dents in engineering and applied
science increased from l4,86D to e3.-
588. This shows the wide awake prac
tical sense prevalent among American
parents. They arc equipping their
Children to meet the multiplied de-
mands that arc being made daily upon
the activities of our population in the
field of material development Twen-
ty-fivc years ago parents, whenever
able to give their sons the benefit of Il
college training, had them educated to
be preachers, lawyers or doctors. Now
they are opening now avenues of in
structiOn i'll the higher mathematics,
in scientific farming, in engineering
and in tho wide and expanding field of
commerce. Our supply of graduates
In the learned professions and in poll
tics will always be ample. Our nd
vanccmcnt in business and industrial
growth will keep i'll active demand
men X"rsed in the technical and scien-
titic branches.

TAMPA A poor CAMPING GROUND.
Advantages ORered by savannah In
cOmparabIy Superior.

Tampa, Fla, June 1.-The people of Sa-
vannah are sleeping on their rights in not
making a more determined effort to secure
the location of troops there. The first step
taken by the recently appointed alder
manic committee should be to come 10
Tampa. The visit would be an eye-opener
to them. Savannah's advantages would
show forth in comparison as a 2O00-candle-
power arc light to an ordinary gas jet.
The simple truth is that Tampa's only
claim as a point of mobilization is its ac-
cessible to Key West and Cuba. 1t has
absolutely no other advantage. Availa,.
bic space is limited, encampment sites are
poor, suitable drill grounds are scarce and
the water is vile, having a salty, brackish
TASTE which no amount of boiling will de-
stroy. The city and its surroundings are
incomparably dirty, due TO the repeated
burning off, year after year, of the pal
metro underground The cinders have
mixed with the fine sand, and the result Is
a mixture, which makes il Impossible for
either person or clothing to be kept clean
by those who must remain in the open air.
The fact that Tampa's railroad facilities
are inadequate has already been noted by
the Morning News.
If Savannah should be selected as a point
of mobilization it would not mean neces-
sarily that troops would be camped in the
city. The large eXpanse of country be-
tween Estiil avenue and Thunderbolt
would make splendid camping ground for
thousands of troops. The lands would not
only be improved by the clearing up which
the troops would give them, but the gov
eminent pays a handsome rental
The street car lines running out of Sa-
vannan would prove of great advantage.
Any good location in half a mile of a car
line is considered satisfactory.
Another point is that the lands around
Savannah are well drained while it g
stated here that should it ever rain the
ground occupied by the Georgia and Flor
the regiments will be two feet under
water. Savannah offers every facility for
a large encampment. What her people
should wake up to is the fact that Savan.
nah is the only coast point in this section
ar which an army OF $1,000 or more troops
can be conveniently and satisfactorily mo-
bilized. It seems evident that the greater
portion of the American army is to be
kept on the Southern coast during the
summer, and the proba bility is that a large
part of it will never see Cuba

BOILING WATER WITHOUT FIRE.
The Only Trick About 1t Is to Stir
II Long and Hard Enough.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is possible TO make pail of water boil
without putting 1t on the fire and without
applying external heat to it in any way In
fact, you can make a pail of water boil BY
simply stirring IL with wooden paddle
The feat was recently performed In the
physical laboratory Of Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore, Md, and any one
may do il with a little trouble and persev-
erance
All you have 10 do is to place your water
in pail-it may be ice water If necessary
and stir it with d wooden paddle. If you
keep at II long enough it will certainly
boil. Five hours Of constant and rapid stir
ring are sufficient TO perform the feat sue
ccssfully. The water viii, after time,
grow warm, and then IL viii grow hot
so hot, in fact, that you cannot hold your
hand in Il, and finally il will boil. Prof.
Ames OF Johns Hopkins annually illus
trates some Of the phenomena of heat by
having one of his students perform the
trick in front OF his class II IS q tiresome
job, but 1t is perfectly feasible
The point which Prof Ames wishes to
illustrate is what is known as the mechan-
ical equivalent of heat 1t requires Just so
many foot pounds Of work to develop "A
given quantity Of heat. BY turning the pad
ole in the water at a regular speed it Is
possible 70 find out just how much work
is required TO raise the temperature of wa
ter one degree. The best measurement so
far made, and, In fact, the one which Is ac-
cepted as the STANDARD of the world, is that
which was measured in Johns Hopkins
University. r
Heat is developed in almost any sub
stance which is subjected to continuous
or very violent action. II is an old trick
for a blacksmith to forge without fire.
Long continued and violent hammering on
two pieces Of wire viii heat them TO such
an extent that they can be welded together.
A lead bullet. If shot directly at stone
wall will develop heat enough BY the coz
tact TO melt and fall to to the ground a
molten mass. There are many sother occa-
sions wherein this mechanical development
of heat becomes manifest.
