 Them at Montauk.
 The Orizaba, which arrived at Camp Wikoff last week, will be brought to New York for discharge. She was q Ward Line steamer, converted into a transport, and was loaded at Port Tampa at the beginning of the war with those famous siege guns of General Shafter's which never reached m at Santiago.
 an appeal by telephone from Camp Wikoif yesterday, asking for orders for the dis, posing of the shipload of siege guns and ammunition. He referred the matter 10 Washington, and received instructions 10 send the powder to the Dover N. J. pow der works and the guns to the Rock Island Arsenal.
 Can any picture of chaos be more vivid than transports carrying the same loads of provisions forward and back ward for months, carrying pontoons out and back, and last of all carrying these siege guns to the Santiago coast, and finally following General Shafter with them to Montauk?
 General Joseph Wheeler stated, as the keynote of the Shafter campaign the haste following a telegram from Samp- son to the War department, stating that if the army attacked Santiago inn mediately it could take it, but if there was delay the Spaniard would intrench and fortify. If there were no intrench-
 ments field artillery would be substan- tially unnecessary, and on this supposi- tion very little was taken. In fact, the Spaniard was intrenched at San Juan and Fl Clancy, and infantry alone had to do the work, which. by recognized military usage, should be done by in- fantry and artillery.
 To-day's papers print the telegram
 from Sampson, sent before June F stating among other things: Santiago de Cuba well fortified with advanced intrenchments, but he believes position for artillery can be taken, as Miles de sires"
 Other telegrams show that this in | formation about the Spanish intrench- ments was at army headquarters al Tampa before the sailing of Shafter's army.

CONTINUED LOW TEMPERATURE

COANAAN CAID f%NR T4HI ChE
 Whereas, we have been engaged for long time in guarding against sun stroke, dysentery and few other dis eases that rejoice and grow strong in heat, it now behooves us to begin to guard against the diseases which find their best hold in cold. Verify we live at "a poor dying rate" as the hymn hath it, but it seems little better to be alive with the thermometer at "75 above" than it did when the thermom- eter was "95 above" Continued low temperature" saith the Weather Man for to-day, and he might have added, accompanied by higher spirits" We especially congratulate the dear chill dren on the change. It will enable them to pursue their favorite occupa- tion of going to school instead of being obliged to play out in the sun and "get all heated up" They have suffered much from the curtailment of their school privileges during the last few days, and they will be heartily glad to be learning and loving their dear teach CTS all the day long. Continued low temperature" and in the not very dim distance frost and snow. Joyful and wondrous prospect. And let us highly resolve that when it is real cold we will remember when it was real hot and not repine.

 the shade of the blue in the Cuban flag.

He Gets His Siege Guns.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 I have just pointed out to you that Simpsons fleet would not have forced the entrance to Santiago harbor as long as Cervera's fleet was there; that as long as Santiago or the Spanish army was protected by Cervera's fleet neith- CT could have been captured by General Shafter's army; that the plan of Gen. eral Shafter was to use siege guns against Cervera's fleet, and that he took siege guns with him, but it had not been stated what had been done with them.

 Seems fraught with grief and tears; Then laughing, care unheeding, It shouts: No fears! no fears!' And now the winds are signing While loud the waters roar, They wall like a lost spirit
 Strange cries, unheard before. Thus ever faster. faster

Cocaine, which dentists hailed as local anaesthetic few years ago, ap- pears to be losing favor in that profess sion. Much sentiment against it's use was manifested at the recent national gathering of dentists in Omaha, and the opinion was general that the drug, if used at all, should be handled with the greatest caution and moderation
 Chicago dentists cited cases of paraly- sis from it's use, and many instances were related of the formation of the cocaine habit, following it's application by dentist. The doses have been very greatly reduced. Where 10 per cent. solution was thought necessary a few years ago, a 2 per cent. solution is now considered strong enough, and even that is used with great caution. Injec- tions into the tissues of the gums has been abandoned altogether, and, in addition, some dentists recommended that the administration should be with out the knowledge of the patient.

A Non-T Treating club has just been formed in Chicago, and 1t is expected that chapters will soon exist in every large city from Maine to California. Five thousand buttons and cards were issued the first few days, ten thou sand more buttons have been ordered and the demand at present is greater than the supply.

A novel plan for elevating morals in Georgia has been invented by a well known citizen of Atlanta. He pro- poses that each county shall decide by vote on January 1 of each year who the worst man in the county is, and that the man receiving the highest number of votes shall, on the ensuing February 1, be hanged. 1t is claimed for the plan that it would induce bad men to emigrate, and that the ''compl1- mentary vote" received by those who had just begun to be bad, but were not generally recognized as such, would tend to create a desire within them to be enrolled among the well behaved.

Not Funny to Them.

Recently as a young couple stepped
aboard the train to start for their honey
moon a long box of flowers was handed
them. 1t bore the name Of q well known
florist on the cover and was daintily tied
up with white satin ribbons. They looked
askance at the box. The white bows
made 1t too evidently . wedding favor,
and had they not feared to hurt the feel
ings of some tactless friend by refusing tho
gift they would not have taken the box
into the car. However, they did take It.
Presently the bride decided that II would
be better to take tho flowers from the tox
and wear them. Then the pretty little
bride, trying hard not to look conscious,
held tho big box In her lap and united the
silken fastenings. As she undid the last
bow the cover jumped OF with report
loud enough to attract the attention OF the
whole Pullman, and out from bed OK

CONNECTS THE BRAIN.
The Little Organ That Enables the HEM
ispheres to Act In Harmony.


Near the base of every well organized
human brain there Is situated a curious
little spongy body called the corpus cal-
losum. The existence of this peculiar or
gan, II organ it may properly be called, at
the base OF the thought laboratory has
been known 90 the Psychologists, anato-
mists and neurologists for several ceDtu-
ries, but up to period comparatively re-
cent IL has defled the efforts of the scien-
lists In their endcayors 10 ascertain its
uses In the human anatomy. Like the
vermiform appendix, the thyroid gland,
the tonsils and the spleen, this corpus cal
losum was long believed to be an organ
absolutely useless. But nineteenth CEN
tury study and Investigation have let In n
flood of light on many subjects heretofore
considered dark, deep and unfathom-
able, and the mystery OF this little body
In the brain Is only one of the many that
have been cleared up. 1t is now known
that the two so called "hemispheres" OF
the brain, had they no means OF intercom
munication, would each be perfect and
separate brains the one absolutely indie
pendent of the other. But they have a
mode of Accommodation, and that
means Is furnished by the once supposed
to be useless corpus callosum.
This all important little organ consists
Of q double chain OF white nerve fibers and
1t Is through these that the two portions
(heEispheres) of the brain are enabled to
act In harmony by being continually
brought into anatomical and physiological
relations with each other. Several years
ago we'll known Philadelphia physician
and surgeon, DR.. A. Fl. Stevens, made the
announcement that In his belief the corpus
callosum was the seat Of the soul. His
peculiar ideas were given quite an airing
through the press at that time, but the
whole theory fell pretty fat when DR.. A.
II. Sawyer of San Francisco proved that a
certain west coast worthy had survived 20
years after having the entire corpus cal.
