ENGINEERS FOR THE ARMY.
Hardships and Peril the Lot of the
Mechanical Branch of
the Militia.

The present quite large United States
army has been found deficient in the i'm
portant matter of engineers, the bat
talon consisting of only 500 men. A
brigade of three regiments of volunteer
engineers IS now being recruited-two
in the west and one in the east. These
are special organizations which the
president has been authorized 10 accept.
These regiments are made up entire
ly of skilled mechanics of all kinds
general utility or handy men-who can
do almost anything of a mechanical ma
ture. Among them are found machin-
lists, electricians, telegraph linemen,
carpenters, timber trainers, tunnel men,
bridge men, erecters, iron men, Triggers,
lum bermen, bo0tmen, railroad men and
so on.
These men are being chosen will
great care, none but first-class workmeI
passing muster. No class of men enter
ing the army make so great sacrifice,
rom pecuniary standpoint, as do these
engineers. They all earn good wages
none less than three dollars, and some
more than four dollars day-at their
trades. They resign this lucrative EN-
ployment to serve their country for
5000 per month as frst-class privates
and $3.50 as second-class privates.
Each company consists of 81 men,
who are graded by the officers. Their
mechanical knowledge and ability as
workers are to be utilized in the con-
struction and destruction of fortifca-
tons, field works, intreuchments,
bridges, roads, railroads, tunnels and
general field engineering work. In adj
dition to their regular service they are
armed and drilled as infantry soldiers,
and are expected to fight when neces-
sary, particularly in their own defense.
Their position is a hazardous one,
since they will often be called upon to
work under the direct fire of the enemy.
They will, as matter of course, be well
supported, but they, rather than the in
fantry that undertakes to protect them,
will draw the Spanish fire.
These regiments will prove invaluable
in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines, where much engineering work
must be done. One company of the reg
ulars has already sailed for Manila

QUEER LIGHT ON VESUVIUS.
An Italian Professor Observes a Mys-
FERROUS Jet of Incan-
descent Gas.

A portion of the southern wall of the
crater of Nesuvius fell in the other day.
The falling debris blocked up the vents
from which issued the gaseous vapors,
and the previous strong explosions al
most ceased. Then the next might Prof.
r. V. Mattenci saw sight which he be-
ieved no one had ever seen before.
The mass of DEBRIS he says, "occu-
pying the bottom of the crater was rem
dered, here more, than less, incandes-
cent by the heat from the lava beneath.
Here and there numerous little flames
about six feet high, varying in color
from blue to green, escaped from amid
the rocks. In the center the bottom of
the crater was more active. From an
aperture in the completely red-hot
debris a colossal column of fame forced
its way with enormous violence and a
roar like that of breakers on a rocky
shore. This gigantic tongue of flame
was of a general yellow tint, with oc-
casional flashes of red and violet color,
and sometimes intense blue. The beau
tifully tinted jet of flame has to my
knowledge never been observed before
in a volcano; it was apparently owing
to the kindling of the large quantity of
combustible gases which had been i'm
prisoned by the falling in of the crater.
People have often thought they saw
flames issuing from the summit OF We
suvius, but the light was always owing
to the reflection from the lava below
in the globes of smoke rising above the
crater. The actual jet in incandescent
gas observed by me is, I believe, the
only one observed on Vesuvius. Lon

AN AVERAGE VERDICT.

in they rendered a verdict for the plaintiff
with damages assessed at $8,687. Of course
the Judge promptly set the verdict aside as
excessive, and had to begin all over again.
Some days later met the foreman of the
jury and asked him how in the world they
arrived at such verdict.
"Well, | don't quite understand it my

A Great Glacier,

The largest glacier in Europe is the
Joslcdalsbroe, in Norway. With its
numerous qualifications it covers an
area of $50 square miles, just half as big
again as the county of MiddleseX. This
enormous field of ice sends its branches
down the valleys in all directions, often
coming into close proximity to the corn
fields. One of the most accessible of its
branches is the Brigsdalbroc. From a
distance its effect is extremely grand,
surrounded as it is with dark, bare
mountains, fringed with birch trees--a
perfect setting for the mighty mass of
snow and ice.--N. Y. Sun.

WAR SCARS ARE HEALED.

Across the battlefield to-day I walk
Where flowers nod and birds harmonious
sing,
Where peaceful leaves in loving whispers
talk,
And butterflies disport on brilliant wing;
The scented breeze is laden deep with
balm,
And smiling skies bend DER me still and
calm.
What stranger, knowing not of warning
Would think this vale was once with can
non rent,
While armed men fiercely trod these grassy
ways
And trees beneath the iron tempests bent;
That thunder born of hate here madly
crashed,
And wars red nghtnings here in fury
flashed?
The sky was canopied with smoke o'erhead
The flowers with redder hues than now
were wet,
Brave men fell meath the hail of hurting
lead
And crimsoned steel in hearts Of brethren
While men by thousands, writing, fought
and fell
Amid the horrors of man-made hell.
Thank God that all those bloody scenes
are q eT,
That bees and birds now here together
play,
That brothers shall STAY brothers thus no
more,
Nor hate reap harvests here of blue and
gray;
Blood brotherhood DEGREES that strife shall
cease,
And love enthroned proclaims the reign of
peace.
Bloom, flowers, and offer incense Ger these
graves;
Wave, starry flag, no more DER ebon

Ruches and Feather BOas.

There is no end of smart little neck
arrangements to be worn with street
gowns, and women are so accustomed
row to muffiing their necks that it will
be some time before the fashion goes
entirely out of style. Many of the col
lars are really small capes. They are
made of ruffies OF lace, chiffon, or nous
seine de sole plated very fine and put
on a fitted lining of silk or satin. Os-
trich-feather boas have for some time
been said to be out of style; but Judging
from the quantities that are for sale, as
well as the numbers that are worn. it
is safe to say the assertion is unfounded
For between seasons, and on a cool day
in summer, there is nothing pleasanter
to wear than one of these same boas
They come in black, in the natural
feathers. in brown, and in light gray.
Light gray is especially effective, and is
very much worn with dark tailor gowns
The long boas that come as far as the
waist are considered the smartest.-

STRANGE TELEPHONE USES.
A Cincinnati Man Pays sos to Hear
the Voices of His FamiIy-Attend-
ing Meetings by Phone.

1t was Cincinnati man who rushed
into a long-distance telephone office,
carrying his grip as if fresh from his
train, and asked to be connected with
his home.
He had nothing in particular TO say.
but it seemed to give him pleasure to
hear the voices of the dear ones in the
home he had left. First the wife ex-
changed a few words; then, one after
another, each of the five children came
to the phone and "helloed," told about
their school trials and triumphs and re-
lated the doings of the pet pony and
the cat and the canary.
Every five minutes, as is the custom
| in costly long-distance work, the man
ager notified the proud papa, but he
always answered: I'll take five min
utes MORE" until, last of all, the baby
had been held up to the transmitter and
had piped: Hello, papa!"
Then the Cincinnati man paid $1Os
and went away happy.
1t only cost Chicago man about ten
dollars to telephone from somewhere in
Michigan to his dog. He was called
away from home suddenly on business.
| The animal was missing him terribly,
l,the family wrote, refused to take his
meals and might die. OF course, let
tiers and kilograms didn't reassure the
pining dog, though his friends tried
hard to explain things.
So the dog was taken to a telephone
receiver, and at the other end of the
| wire the Chicago man began series of
cheerful, if slightly. inane remarks:
"Wha' re matter, old boy?" he began,
and the dog commenced to prick up its
ears. brace up, old fellow. Was its
precious dogums lonesome, hey? Too
badl Shouldn't leave him, so he
shouldn't. Coming back soon, dogums.
There now. Be good dog and dontee
ky"
When the conversation ceased the dog
barked as much as to say: Cant make
me believe he's dead after that
There have been many cases of court
ship by long-distance telephone; little
| ingenuity and a few round, white dol
| lars often enable an absent one to keep
himself not forgotten, even in null
tiplicity of suitors buzzing about the
girl he left behind him.
| And, of course, cases are accumulate
| ing until they are no longer a novelty of
bank and corporation directors attend
ling meetings by phone, or even presid-
ing over meetings 1000 miles or so away.
The long-distance telephone enables
men in distant cities to discuss and close
great business deals as comfortably as
if they were in the same otfice.-N. Y.
