LESSONS FROM SANTIAGO.
Campaign Shows That Coast Defenses
Are More Effective Than
Warships.

The military and naval experts say
that several important lessons in ord
nance and Notifications are furnished
by the campaign against Santiago. 1t
is pointed out that the long conten,
tions between the relative merits of
land Notifications and naval ships as
a means of coast defense have received
much light by recent operations. When
Admiral Sampson was chief of the ord
nance bureau of the navy department
he held that most effective means of
defending coasts was by means of war
ships rather than coast defenses. IT
is said, however, that the Spanish de-
tense Of Santiago harbor has demon
strated that coast defenses are even
more effective than warships. The
batteries of Moro castle, Sacopa and
the others, aided by the mining and
torpedoing of the harbor, was effective
in preventing the American feet from
entering the harbor, and this, despite
the fact that the Spanish guns were in
no sense fortification armament. 1t is
said by some of the experts that if
MORO had possessed the large modern
fortiieation guns, such as those pro-
tecting New York or Boston, it would
have been able not only to have defend
ed Santiago but to have done serious
damage to the attacking feet.

and pulled me out. Just then there
were reenforcements of some COM

in charge. This charge was on what
is called the second blockhouse, and
we had to push our way through the
thickets. Before we. got to it halt

CATTLE DYING IN AUSTRALIA.
Ru1Asus to RanoAers In the
Island Continent

Advices from Australia state that
the tick plague is playing terrible
havoc with cattle. More widespread
and ruinous is the result than will ever
be told to the outside world. Like the
drought last summer, which killed
countless thousands OF sheep by star
vation, the tick plague is spreading
alarmingiy. Scores of inspectors have
been appointed by every colony to
keep travelling through wide districts,
quarantine all affected territory, and
kill diseased cattle. These inspectors
are flooding the government with re.
ports of "ticled up" districts, and the
press Of the country has become much
alarmed and is calling for still more
vigorous efforts to stamp it out. Off
cial reports statesthat the tick fever
is becoming more yirulent and that all
cattle attacked die. A large number
Of districts are now .ticked up," which
means that no meat can be sold from
them. Tits great hardship to ranch
ers, causing much suffering in many
communities.

ENLISTING ARMY COOKS.
1nstion-Must Show Their
Ability to Cook.

A general order has been issued by
the war depart ment governing the en-
listment of army cooks, under. the pro-
visions of the act of congress July z
Candidates for these positions are to
be subjected to the required n1eGica;
examination for enlisted men, and tx.
amined as to their knowledge of meth
DDS and skill in caring for, preparing
and serving food, particularly as tc
the experience they have had in cook,
ing for large bodies of men. Candi-
dates are also to be required to give
practical exhibitions of their ability
to cook, and none will be enlisted un-
less the recruiting officers are satisfied
they are competent to perform the du-
ties inquired OF them. Only one cook is
authorized by law for each company,
troop or battery, and the commanding
officer of each organization will super
wise the cooking and messing of his
men. An enlisted man already in the
service and desiring to serve as cook
may be appointed and rated as such
upon his own application if he is suff-
ciently proficient. - -
Commissary General Eagan-has long
advocated the enlistment Of army
cooks, and is pleased at the prospect
of his views being put into practical
effect.

were hiding near by, would come back
and try to extinguish the flames, thus
giving the French an opportunity to

SPLIT LOGS FOR q LIVING.

oeespst4en5In Inmortalt.e1 BY IAnsoln
Followed by Two Girls.
Splitting logs is the vocation followed
by two women IN the woods back OF
Wallis station, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, Annie and Mary Wilson are
the names of these two women. They
are sisters. They split rails and make
pit posts and caps for the Spring Hill
Coal company, whose works are be-
tween Wilmerding and Wallis. They
do all the work Of telling the trees,
sawing them into proper lengths and
anaMy with their axes splitting them
into pit posts. They are assisted to
some extent by their younger brother.
The girls work together always and
can swing an eight-foot cross-cut saw
through an oak tree with apparently
as much ease az some women run q
typewriter.
When the tree Is sawed through and
ready to split one Of the girls sets an
iron wedge into one end of the log and
with . large maui weighing about 20
pounds drives it in, splitting the log
from end to end. The operation is re-
peated until the Log is split into sizes
for posts. Then the axes are brought
into play and the posts trimmed up and
shaped. The girls came from Indiana.
THE work is not hard when you get
used to it," said one, "and then we can
make more money splitting rails and
making pit posts in one day than we
could in a, week working in kitchen.
What's the difference, SO long as the
work is honest, how one earns living?
Although work hard every day, rain
Or shine, l never get sick. was never
sick in my life. The people around

Scientific Sport with Kittens.

Scientific Sport with Kittens.
AT a recent meeting of the New York
Academy of Sciences Mr.. 'Thorndike, of
Columbia university, described his .ex-
periments on comparative psychology,
in which kittens, dogs, chickens and
monkeys played a part. One object
was to ascertain in what manner and
how rapidly animals learn tricks: "A
box was provided with a door that
could be opened from the inside by
means of latch, or by pulling cord,
or by turning a button. Kittens were
placed inside the box, and toothsome
fish outside. The time taken to get out
became gradually shorter, but Mr..
Thorndike said the trick was always
learned by accident. One lucky hit
would prepare the way for another. He
could see no trace of rational inference
on the animals part. It was not posi-
BILE to. teach the trick by taking the
kittens paw and pushing the latch, and
