It is announced that Maj General
Fitzhugh Lee will be obliged to decline
the offers of over fourteen hundred col
onels, majors, captains and lieuten-
ants for positions on his staff. His

aides. The remainder of his staff will
be composed Of army officers.
Music is an exclusively Croatian art,
according to Herr Huddow, a Croat,
and all melodies by other than Croatian
composers are merely variations on
Croat national airs. He has discovered
that Haydn, Goldmarck, and Zingarelli
were Croats, as well as Hummel, whose
real name is Bumbarevic, Suppe, who
should be Suppancic, and Tartini, prop
erly Totis.
In his annual charge to his clergy at
the Episcopal Convention Of the Do
cese of New Jersey, Bishop Scarbor-
ough said: "It is a Christian duty, as
well as mark Of citizenship, to up
hold the government Of the United
& States in it's unselfish defence If a
people ready to perish, and in it's eff
forts to right a cruel wrong. While
shrink from the thought of the great
number of lives sacrificed and homes
desolated, yet the sacrifice will not be
in vain if the end sought shall be az
complished. Cuba must be free at any
4 cost from oppression. The Latin race
will be driven from it's last foothold in
North America, and a new day will
dawn for those fair island empires that
have SO long groaned under oppres-
sion"
The United States, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. seems to take as natur-
ally to water as a cat takes to cream.
Six months ago we didn't know a cruis-
er from gunboat, and now we are
nautical to the top notch. We talk
boats, we think boats. We have pic
lures Of boats all over our daily papers;
boats decorate our magazines, boats
cover our billboards. we fight naval
battles with gravy boats and sail
cracker boats in wastes of steamy
soup. The mere pigmies Of the land,
the crawling infantry, are for the mo-
ment set aside. 1t is the sailor lad
with his rolling gait, the bully Of the
afterdeck, the captain in his coming
tower, who hold our hearts affection.
The gorgeous galaxy of generals may
bedizen themselves as they will; it is
the admiral on the bridge who catches
the admiring eye of an adoring pub

reefs a very common supposition in re-
gard to the heating capacity of wood
the most notable fact in the case being
that such a parctica1 and easily dem
onstratable error should so long have
prevailed, namely, that the heating ca.
pacity Of hard wood is greater thar
that of soft wood. The fact, as ascer-
tanned by repeated determinations, is
that the greatest heating power is pos.
sessed by one Of the softest varieties
of such material, viz, the linden. TAX.
ing its heating capacity for a unit, the
second best heater is also a soft wood
fir, with 0.99 heating power; next fol.
low the elm and the pine, with OBS
willow, chestnut, larch, with 097
maple and spruce fir, with 096; blacl
poplar, with OBS; alder and white
birch, with O.94 only; then comes the
hard oak, with 0.92; the locust ant
the white beech, with OIL; and the rec
beech, with 0.90. These examples leav,
no doubt of, the general fact that hare
wood heats the least.
A remarkable verdict in a homicid,
case was recently rendered at the Car
diff assizes in Wales before Mr.. Justic,
Phillimore. The jury found the prison
er guilty of murder, but added to thei
verdict the words under great provo
cation" A question was raised by hi
counsel as to the nature Of the finding
it being contended that the jury ha,
not really pronounced the defendan
guilty of the crime of murder as de
fined by law, but that their verdict wa
