and warriors. skilled in all the arts Of
destruction. but the ahlest generals
from the days Of Alexander have never
been able to make provision for the
eXi gencies of the sick and wounded.
Women, however. have shown particu-
lar genius in this direction. And thus
we advocate that, subject to authority,
its organization and working should be
left to them. and that they form an
auxiliary though non combatant por-
ton of every fighting force, having
equal rank. pay, and standing, with
the comhatant part, seeing that their
duties rc1''irc equal courage and capac-
ity, and their usefulness is beyond all

place of nature when nature is in a
quiet mood. An emergency pipe pokes
its black proboscis under the waves.
and pump can draw through it 5000
gallons minute, whenever the 5000
gallons are wanted in n minute.
Having made enough tunnels to ad-
nit the water, sandless and tepid, to
the tanks, Mr.. Sutro had to provide
for sending the water to sea again,
that the ocean might not bc drained
Dropping out the water at the place
at which it was taken in would not be
satisfactory. Mr.. Sutro did not want
the baths to be receiving the same
water over and over again. That
plan would be too easy. In it there
were no obstacles to be overcome He
laid an outlet pipe through tunnels
probably several hundred feet long,
and through this the water flows from
the tanks and returns to the sea sew
eral hundred feet from the place
whence it was taken.
The water that comes in through
the tunnels must fill six tanks. The
largest of these, the main swimming
tank, is 2I5 feet long, and at the place
of greatest breadth is $50 feet wide.
The other tanks are smaller. Some
are used for women and children. some
for beginners-each one has its par
ticular use. One tank is filed with
cold salt water for swimmers who
want a shock Then there is a little
tank filled with fresh water supplies
from the Sutro Water Works on the
bluff above. And the dressing rooms,
everyone provided with a fresh-watcr
shower and an electric light, and the
clubrooms for the companies OF bath
ers--they are counted by hundreds
and built tier upon tier, until the visi-
tor is amazed at their number as much
as he wondered at the maze Of tnn-
nels.
The spectacular effect of the baths
was prominent in the purpose of Mr..
Sutro in planning them. The glazed
roof, that great span that is more than
two acres in area, is so high above the
tanks that looking up to the vault
seems like peering to sixty story.
Elevators and grand staircases give
cmmunicatioa from one tier Of the
building to another. About the bath
ing tanks there are seats in tiers; seats
for $500 people in 4 great amphithea-
ire and there is room for $4,000 more
to stand and to promenade. A place
that can accommodate 10000 people
at one time must be of some size At
the ocean end of the tanks there is
great stage, so feet broad, on which
musicians are seated. BY the sides of
the staircases there are planted won-
derful tropical plants, and in great
boxes above the promenades are grow
inc palms. The baths are full of beau
ty and color. Through the glass side
walls is the ocean view. There are
three restaurants, each on different
tier of the building, an aquarium,
carriage entrance and conservatory.

nursing of the sick and wounded in

left to chance. We rely on volunteers,

but who, because they are women, are
supposed to be naturally capable Of
caring for the sick and wounded.

tallow, and then immersing the egg in

rERPARED FOR WAR.

The latest dispatches from Havana
sound ominous. There seems to be no
evidence forthcoming that the destruc-
ton of the Maine was caused by an ac-
cident, and as the facts are brought
to light, the excitement becomes more
intense, Consul General Lee has advised
Americans to leave the island. a meas
ure too serious to be taken without
good ground. Is It possible that the
Cuban authorities deliberately placed
the Maine over submarine NINE In
order to be able to destroy her, should
the slightest sign of hostility appear.

Some of the newspapers of the United

Besides, 1t does not appear to be true
that the United States is nj the mercy
of any European power that may con-
ceive the idea of crusade to the west
