MAJOR GIFFEN's OPINION.
Says n Better Place Than 'ChicI>n-
mauga Could Not Have Been
Chosen for m Cnmu


/. CHICKAlIAUGA PARK, GA. Sept. H.
In an interview with the Associated Press
to-day Major Remmet Giffen, surgeon in
charge of Sternberg hospital at this place,
said: In my opinion Chickamauga park
is one of the healthiest locations in the
entire country that possibly could have
been chosen for a great military encamp-
ment. I have been here for some time now
and | have come TO the conclusion that no
more desirable place could have been found
anywhere. The drainage here is good. the
lay of the land excellent. the climate mild
and desirable, being just what is needed by
the troops. and there is not the slightest
question in my mind but that Chickamauga
park was originally healthful.
why should it be otherwise? All of the
conditions are conducive to good health and
the troops which have been encamped here
would certainly have enjoyed good health
IL the proper care and precautions had been
taken TO pres erve health.
THE sickness at Chicbamauga park has
been caused by the improper and negligent
manner in which the sanitary regulations
recommended by the army surgeons have
been enforced. That is the situation in a

HOW TO SLEEP.
4 French Scientist Says the Head
Should BE Toward the
West

From What to Eat.
Those persons who do not enjoy good,
sound sleep. as rule. may ind the fol-
lowing suggestions-based on some curl
Ous observations of a French naturalist-of
benefit. and possibly a remedy for sleep
lessness These suggestions may be
summed up: To lie with the head pointing
due west.
The reason for this has nothing to do
with electricity in any way. but is a biz
OF practical advice derived from peculiar
tiles noticed in the vegetable kingdom VI.
Musset. the naturalist in question, has
come TO the conclusion that the rotation
Of the earth on its axis has great infiu-
encc upon all vegetation. and IN less
degree upon animal life.
The force called centrifugal. generated by
the earth's rotation. is considerable, but IS
counteracted by that of srayitation. II
than it does this centrifugal force would
entirely overcome that of gravity and
would pro ject into space all bodies on the
earth. The ma ximum of centrifugal force
! is at the equator, owing TO the fact that
/ the circlein which the earth turns is great
| er there than anywhere else. Consequent!
the. force of gravitation is diminished at
! the equator and a body weighs there about
| twenty-twenty-first OF what 1t would at
| the North pole.
| 1t has been noticed that the water in
| rivers running from north to south. aS
most of them do. inciines slightly to the ne
| centrifugal force. and the same cause ac-
| counts for the fact that the eastern parts
| of the concentric zones of. the trunk of a
| tree are larger than other parts. This has
| recently been proved by observations made
| on thousands OF trees by the French nat
| hralist mentioned. who finds that all trees
| have elliptcal trunks and that the greatest
| axis of the e,Iipse is always toward the
| east. He argues that centrifugal force
| affects the sap in trees. just as it dOes
| water in rivers, making the trees grow
| larger toward the east, and it is natural
| to suppose that this force also affects the
| flow of blood in the human frame TO GER

The conclusion is reached. then, that
| when a person is in a recumbent position
| for some time-nearly one-third of the life
| of 4 person being so spent-centrifugal force
| causes the blood in his body to deviate
| slightly toward the east just as it does
| sap in trees. and If the sleeper lies with
his head toward the west his blood will
| be sent by that force toward his feet. con-
sequently his sleep Will be peaceful and

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The Observer this

was prepared to show by whom and what
circumstances the forgeries were COM
nitted.
PARIS, Sept. T7.-Generar Zurlinden has
sent his written resignation to Premier
Brisson as follows:
Il have the honor to beg you to receive
my resignation as minister for war. An
exhaustive study Of the papers in the Drey-
fus case has convinced me too fully of his
guilt for me TO accept, as the head of the
army, any other solution than that of the
maintenance Of the judgment in its en-
tirety.'
The council met at the Elysee palace at
800 a. m, President Faure presiding. Ac-
cording to a semi-official note, the min
lister of justice said that, after having
examined the papers, he felt unable 10 de-
eide upon the question of the proposed re-
vision OF the Dreyfus case until he had
taken the opinion Of a special commission
of the ministry of justice The cabinet,
therefore, authorized the minister TO sum-
mon a commission for the purpose.
Later in the day another cabinet council
was held, at which General Chanoine, COM
mander of the First division of the First
army CORPS department of the North and
the Pas de Calais, was appointed minister
of war, in succession to Zurlinden. and
Senator Godin, representing French India,
was appointed minister of public works,
succeeding NJ. Tillay. The latter, in trans
mitting his letter OF resignation, is appar-
emily bidding for popular favor. He wrote:
THE council having decided to appoint a
commission to consider the request for a
revision OF the trial of the convict Dreyfus,
i am unable to accept any share in the
responsibility for the step, which, IN my
opinion, involves revision of the case"
The committee summoned by NJ Sarrien
to decide upon the question of the pro-
posed revision will begin TO consider the
matter on Wednesday night.
As he was leaving the EIysee palace, af-
ter the cabinet meeting a large crowd OF
people cheered the premier, NJ. Brisson

A startlIng ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Il never see that fine fellow pass" said
a certain local professional man as he
pointed to a well built youth who was hur-
rying by. without recalling the fact that
he was the unconscious hero of decidedly
funny situation. 1t happened rather more
than twenty years ago. when the youth
was a baby. He was the first of the flock,
and his doting papa and mamma deter
mined to get him as nice baby carriage
as the town afforded. The father had de-
cided opinions on business matters, and
decided that the youngster must be taken
down town and fitted, as 1t were, to the
buggy. So. arrayed In all his infantile
finery, he was escorted down town. He
was a fine child and attracted lots of at
tention, and the doting parents were conse-
duently delighted. A buggy was picked
out. after the little fellow had been fitted
several times and the mother said she
would wheel him home, the father accom-
panying the parade as far as his place of
business.
You'll find that an extra good car
riage,' said the smiling proprietor, be
cause We put it together ourselves. In
fact we label 1t ours, and our guaran-
tee goes with it,
riage started off. and as they passed up
Superior street they attracted good deal
of attention. In fact they attracted so
much attention that the parents were lit
tie startled by it. People would look at
the carriage and the baby, and then glance
at the parents and laugh heartily.
Something queer about this said the
father What do you s'pose they are laugh
ing at?'
. I'm sure don't know said the wor-
ried mother III just slip around in front
and see if everything ISN'T all right
so she walked ahead, crossed over and
came back As she turned around her
husband saw that she looked fairly aghast.
Then she snatched at something on the
carriage and hid it in her hand.
"'Wh-what do you spose was on the
front of the buggy?' she Historically whis-
pered to her husband.
"'What?' he asked.
