General William NJ. Graham, now in COM
mand at Atlanta, was colonel of the Fifth
artillery with headquarters at the Preside
in San Francisco, until about a year and
a half ago, when he became a brigadier.
Graham is one Of the sturdiest and bcst
hearted soldiers in the army and a stickler
on regulations. The way he brought one of
his young officers to a realization of the
meaning of regulations showed this. This
young officer had recently arrived at the
Preside on his first detail from West Point.
He fell into the habit of disregarding the
salutes of the enlisted men around the post.
The men noticed this and talked about it
among themselves. Perhaps Colonel Ora
ham heard of it. At any rate, one after
noon the colonel was walking from his Office
to his quarters, followed at a distance of
thirty feet or so by his orderly. The young
officer from West Point came down the
gravel path from the opposite direction. He
Saluted his colonel and, of course, the sa-
lutte was returned. But he was apparently
too absent minded to notice the salute of
the trailing orderly and did not return it.
He did not know that the colonel had
wheeled about after he had passed and was
looking after him. He had no sooner passed
the orderly without returning the %latter's
salute than his colonel hailed him.
'LlCutenant, called out GGaDaln, u WOll
with you"
The young lieutenant walked up to the
colonel.
one of the requirements of officers in
this army" said Graham, lis that they shall
return salute for salute, Orderly, salute the
lieutenant. Lieutenant salute the orderly
The young officer turned red, but returned
the salute of the grinning orderly.
Nov, lieutenant continued the colonel,
you and my orderly may pace back and
forth, in opposite directions, for a while,
both of you observing regulations as you
come within saluting distance of each
other"
Then Colonel Graham sat down on a rus.
tic bench alongside the gravel path, pulled
out a cigar, lit it, and smoked comfortably
for ten minutes or so, the while he watched
the officer and man pass in front of him.

lieutenant of artillery has probably not dis
regarded the salute of an enlisted man since
that time.

best guns ever built. There are six Hotch-

gun is forty inches long and, with its car
riage, weighs a little over 800 pounds. In
service, one of these guns, with its carriage,
is carried by two pack mules, the pack
saddles being fitted with sings so that two
mules carry the gun and carriage between
them. 1t takes two minutes to unsling,
mount and load. When mounted the gun
stands thirty inches from the ground. Each

New York, January S.-The doom Of
f1ashlight photographs has been de-
creed by Nikola Tesla, the Servian
wizard, who is about to show to New
York and the world at large another
wonderful triumph of electricity. He
announces to-day that he has perfect
ed vacuum tubes of such high illum
mating power that they may serve
the greatest lighthouses of the future,
piercing even the densest fog, while
night will be made as daylight to the
photographer. The patient work Of
several years, interrupted for time
by the burning Of his laboratory on
West Broadway, in 1895, has been re-
quired to perfect the invention. He ia
not yet ready to describe it in detail,
but the success is beyond mere posi-
bility.
Mr.. Tesla announced the result of
his investigations to-day in the Elec-
trical Review, which also reproduces
two of the photographs obtained Mr.
Tesla's vacuum tubes and oscillator
have united to produce the light by
which the remarkable photographs
now completed we're produced Every
line of the objects photographed
shows out with great dis;inc,ness. A
picture of a man, made under the
light of a single vacuum tube at a
range of five feet, with an exposure,
reveals every fine wrinkle in his face,
