CAMP MERRITT. San Francisco, May &c.
1t is remarkable how quickly men accus-
toned to refined and comfortable surround
ings can adapt themselves to gypsy life in
tents and enjoy it. There is no happier body
of men anywhere than the men of the Thir-
teenth Minnesota volunteers encamped on the
sand lots of San Francisco. They have come
a far journey overland, and are resting pre-
paratory to farther journey over sea. Be-
hind them is home and all it's attachments
before them is war and all Its uncertainties
Yet to all outward appearance they are light
hearted and cheerful, and sem never to have
care beyond the day.
Eat, drink and be merry; tomorrow we
de-" is the soldiers motto, and the boys Of
the Thirteenth are living up to it.
Not that they spend their time In carous-
ing They have more hard work to perform
at Camp Merritt than they ever had at Camp
Ramsey. From reveille until retreat with
the exception of two hours at midday they
drill and work, but after retreat their time
until taps is their own. and they make the
most of 1t.
1t is then that crowds of women gather
along the fence which surrounds the camp
and make the mems acquaintance. No for
NAL introduction is required. A uniform is
a target for hundred feminine relic SEEK
ers, who want every button. So many uni
forms have been stripped Of buttons by the
invaders that Col Reeve has had to issue
strict orders to punish any soldier who gives
| away buttons or permits women to cut them
| off. day in the guard house Is the usual
| penalty inflicted.
AS soon as retreat has sounded the men
gather about the company csmpfres and en-
tertan one another with songs and stories
| Crowds of listeners gather outside the fence

! test between the several companies as te

for the regular patrons Of the Office.
The soldiers mail is handled in the
two mail cars now at Lytle station.
Hundreds Of letters written by the
soldiers on bareback and properly
stamped are sent out from Lyle every
day. OF course. the soldiers do not
use bareback for writing paper from
necessity. They do it solely for the
novelty of the thing, although Col.
Lee may object to this waste Of good
bread.
The sham battle of last week was
productive of an amusing incident that
has now had an equally amusing Sc
quel The Twenty-first Kansas regi-
ment has not yet been furnished with
guns or uniforms, but is doing all it
can in the way Of complying with mil
itary discipline, having it's guard
mount and strict guard duty.
The Twelfth Minnesota invaded the
camp, and, when ordered off the parade
ground by Col. Fitch, disregarded his
orders. The colonel felt that the Min
nesota men took an undue advantage
Of him, but he got his revenge. One
of the Minnesota companies invaded
the quarantine lines which he had
thrown about the regimental hospital
containing several cases Of measles.
Col Fitch notified headquarters Of this
fact, and a guard was ordered out I'M
rediately, and the entire company was
marched off to an isolated camp, where
they will remain under quarantine.
There has been very general dissat-
isfaction over the disregard Of guard
lines in the field maneuvers, and sew
eral clashes have been narrowly
averted.

An odd example Of the caprice Of for

so he offered all the servant girls who

In a ticket he held. If 1t won anything
the prize was to Se equally divided be-
tween himself and the girls who took
a share. Some one hundred of them
paid him their two shillings, and.
strange to relate, that ticket WOE the
second prize of fifty thousand pounds
so that there came q nice little sum of
nearly Eve hundred pounds each tc

Massachusetts claims to have more
different kinds of native trees than any
kingdom in Europe, the number exceed
ing fifty, among them being nine large
oaks.
In order to preserve the cOlors of
plants it is necessary to kill the speci-
mems quickly, and this can be effected
hy plunging them for few seconds in
boiling water. If a plant is allowed to
die slowly, the colors of its leaves and
flowers will gradually fade. A writer
in Meehan's Monthly says that some
succulent plants will live for months
after being placed between the drying
leaves of an herbarlum, and finally dry
up and turn black.
A new form of electric lamp, from
which important practical results are
anticipated, has been devised by Prof.
Nernst, of the University Of Gottingen.
1t has fllament composed of magnesia
mixed with rare earths in place Of the
ordinary carbon f1lament. and no vac
uum is needed as in other incandes-
cent lamps. But the filanent is non
conducting when cold, SO that it must
first be warmed before a current will
pass and cause 1t to glow. The chief
practical difficulty is the original warm
ing of the filament.
In consequence of some experiments
made In England, shopkeepers are
warned Of the danger Of allowing in
famma BILE goods to get into contact
with the bulbs of incandescent electric
lamps. The widespread notion that
such lamps are practically free from
heat Is erroneous. A sixteen candle
power electric lamp immersed in half a
pint Of water will cause the water to
boil within an hour. If buried in cot
wool it will set the latter afame.
Celluloid placed in contact with an cleo
tric lamp bulb was set on fire in less
than five minutes.
In northern Russia the month of Oc-
