NEAT NEW ARMY UNIFORMS
SUITABLE FOR SERVICE IN THE
CUBAN COUNTRY.
TO be Made of Grey-Brown Canvas
VIII be Light, Cool and Durable and
Impervious to Rain.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Gen.
Miles, commanding the army, after
comforting with Secretary Alger has
ordered 100 canvas uniforms, with
a view to their general introduction
as a light and serviceable field uni
form by the United States army.
1t is marked departure i'll uniform
ing the army and one in the inter-
est of preserving the health of the
men while in active service. The
sample uniforms already ordered are
of strong canvass, of a fine texture
but durable material. The color is
a gray brown, said to be particular
ly desirable in the time of hostill-
tiles, as it is difficult to be disting-
uished from the earth, grass, corn
fields or dead leaves. 1t is light
and cool in summer, is very service
able in winter and impervious to
the rain. The canvas suits are al
ready in use among frontiersmen
and do good service in rough out
door work
Gen. Miles idea has been to COM
bine serviceable frontier suit with
enough color and adornment to give
it military aspect. The final de-
signs show the canvass suit and
buckskin leggins with colored cloth
cuffs, collars, chevrons, and nation
al Goa of arms. The c lor Of the
cuffs, ETC., depends upon the arms
of the service, IN navy blue for the
infantry, in red for the artillery,
and yellow for the cavalry. The
hat is of light felt or of canvas,
similar TO that now worn, but turn
ed up on the left side, with a color
ed rosette indicating the arm of the
service and short aigrette or plume
above the rosette. Knee breeches
and leggins complete this service

BALLOON LIFE BOATS.

The big ocean greyhounds will
soon it is thought, be equipped
with life. boats harnessed to bal
looms, so as to be practically I'M
sinkable. Cylioders filled with
compressed gas will be placed in
compartments of the life boats, and
from these the balloon, which will
be harnassed with cords to hollow
mast connecting with the cylinders,
will be inflated. The mast, which
is of iron tubing, is adjustable and
when turned forward the big bal
loon acts as a sail, oars proving
quite unnecessary. The combina-
ton boat will doubtless, prove OF
the greatest service in saving people
far out at sea. In a recent test
made it was shown that even with
the boat filled with water to the
gunwales the lifting power of the
balloon prevented the craft from
either sinking or upsetting.

several of us girls working on it,
but to-day l got to thinking, and

the owner of the gown with tragic
motion. mo, there was no dam
age done, but Miss Smith was very
angry, and said it meant bad luck
to cry over a wedding gown, and
she discharged NE. I am very sorry
and l don't believe such trifling
thing can bring you any harm, and

enough to ask her, Miss Smith
would take me back. l know she

Queer Fish That Walks

The Geological Gardens in London
have acquired no less than seven
walking fish, or mud shippers
The mud skipper is a large fish,
which walks on land frequently. 1t
also climbs trees and does other things
equally curious. A we'll grown speci-
men weighs from forty to fifty
pounds. 1t has a head something like
that OF mastfT. the resemblance he
ing very striking about the lower law.
The scientific name of the mud skip
per is Periopthalmus. ..
The mud skipper walks principally
by means Of its pectoral fms and its
tail. 1t gets along exceedingly we'll.
1t is fairly common along the shores
of the lndo Pacific Ocean--that is to
say, in Southeastern Asia. In Siam
plenty Of mud shippers are to be
found. ..
The most remarkable accomplish
ment of the mud skipper is to climb
trees With its pectorai fins it catches
hold of a tree trunk as firmly as if it
had hands. 1t goes up into the tree
in search of insects, sunshine and
fresh air. ..
The mud skipper has a loud, hoarse

Time Table for Going Round thu
World In 2S Days.

N"''o AH -s'' 1"SS
Ir;nce Khilkof. the Russian Minis
ter OF Communications, is reported to
have stated that. when the Siberian
Railway is opened throughout its en-
tire length, the tour of the world may
be made in thirty-three days The va
rious divisions Of the journey are COW
cred as follows: Bremen TO st. Peters,
burg, one and half days. St. Peters,
burg to Eladvostok, ten days; Vladi-
vostok to San Francisco, ten days;
San Francisco to New York. four and a
half days; New York to- Bremen, seven
days; total. thirty-three. Another au-
thority goes one better than that He
proposes to reduce the length of the
worlds journey to twenty-eight days.
Inc figures given by the Russian Min
lister are evidently based on the actual
running speed OF the various railway
ana steamship lines, an estimated av-
erage speed OF about twenty-five miles
an hour from the Russian capital to
VladivostoS. But 1t is suggested that
II the traveller had the services of the
fastest existing ships on the ocean, and
the trains were run at the highest rate
OF speed consistent with the gradients.
curves and conditions of the permanent
way OF railways in the various dis
tFicis passed over. five days might be
saved. Thus the Kaiser Wilhelm
would be available for the Atlantic pas
sage. with her average speed of 22.34
knots per hour. and a 20-knot speed is
assumed for the Pacific passage. To
maintain the high average of the spe-
clal trains, it is further assumed that
speeds of from sixty to seventy miles
an hour would be maintained on level
stretches of country to make IN for
time lost in crossing mountains. The
probable best time that could he made
by engaging special trains, assuming
the ocean passages to be performed at
the speeds mentioned, would be as fol-
lows: London to Moscow, SO hours.
Moscow to Vladivostok, l49 / hours.
Vladlvostok to San Francisco. 27O
