RECRUITS WANTED.
Special inducements for Volunteers
to Enlist in the Regular Army.

Washington, Oct 2s.-By direction.
of the secretary of war, Col. Thomas
Ward, acting adjutaDt general, has is
sued general order in regard to the
cases of members of volunteer organ
izations who enlisted therefrom in the
regular army. 1t is explanatory of a
previous general order, issued in Sep
TENDER last, prescribing that such
men should be given credit for their
service in the volunteer army. The
Endorsement required by the regula-
tions on the enlistment papers of the
men who have served in the volunteer
army, and subsequently enlisted in.
the regular army, results in giving
such soldiers credit on the rec
ords OF the department for time
actively served in the volunteer
army, but without intention that
the term of enlistment or re-
enlistment in the regular army
shall be shortened by reason of volun-
teer service. According to the order
just issued, such soldiers begin q.
new enlistment in the regular army
for the full term of three years, and.
their clothing allowance likewise
begins at the first years rates. The
age limitation of S5 years foy original
enlistment in the regular army does
not apply in such cases, The principal
advantages, however, accrue to those
who re-enlist in the regular army
within three months from date
of discharge from the volun-
teer army. In their cases the
time actually served in the vol.
unteers is added to the time served
in the regular army in computing the
soldiers service pay from time to
time"

Washington, Oct 20. Ample rev
enues for the payment of federal ex
penses and the maintenance of gar
risons seem likely to be derived from
the customs duties in Cuba, IL the col
lections thus far afford a test. A dis
patch from Santiago states that 500.

during the month of October. Thi
does not appear to be large item i
itself, but as it is at the rate Of 81, 300

Havana, Dec 12.-The Two Hun
red and Second New York regiment
began to land at o'clock this morn
ing and at 10 o'clock column OF
about One Thousand strong marched
from the San Jose wharf to the Chris
tina railroad station. The route,
which was a mile and half long,did
not pass through the principal streets
There were only the ordinary number
of people in the streets and it was on
ly occasionally that cries of "Vive Els.

Cupa LIBRA" were heard. Some OF
the troops are bound for the city oi

The First North Carolina regiment
which arrived here yesterday morning
Ion the Roumanihm, disembarked this
morning and marched through tht
city with band and colors to camp a
Mar.anao. By the time the regimen
had reached the suburb of Cerro many
hundreds of men, women and child

Forecast!ng the Weather.

To the forecasting officials of the
weather bureau it is a sad commentary
on tie intelligence of the American
public that weather predictions are
still generally regarded as more of a
Joke than anything else. And the
weather men hold the newspapers
largely responsible. For 29 years,
going on thirty" the government has
been attempting to tell the people from
day to day what kind of weather to ex-
pect during the next "a or SO hours,
and still the weather bureau is regard
ed by many people as a sort of asy-
lum in which old weather cranks can
indulge their hobbies at the expense of
the public. The local forecaster is
still called "Old Prob" and the bur
eau is often denounced as a mcnumen-
tai lying institution. The man who
first conceived the idea that weather
representations were a joke, and thus
added new number to the woefully
short list of ''humorist" ideas, is prob
ably responsible for this 30-year-old
misunderstanding The same fellow,
If he is responsible, has been the cause
Of the loss of untold values in prop
erty and life by extemes Of heat and
cold, ~ storms and by food. Every
weather prophet regularly authorized
by the government to tell what wealth
er will prevail tomorrow regards him
self as public benefactor who in pre-
pairing the public for single storm
or flood earns his salary a thousand
times over. From this point of view
and from the point of view of many
who have learned to appreciate the i'm
mense value of the weather bureau
system OF observation and forecast, the
much-abused weather man is more
than amply justified in taking himself
and mis- business seriously.
Wherever there is a weather station,
ana wherever the daily papers publish
ing forecast are circulated, there was
full warning given of the storm and
cold which have prevailed throughout
1he entire country for the past two or
three weeks. The Atlantic coast is
Uttered with the wrecks of many yes-
sells. Staunch boats have gone down
on the Geat Lakes. From the far
Northwest to the ends OF Texas storms
nave deranged communication by wire,
and impeded traffic by rail and by road.
Inc weather of the past two weeks has
been referred to in a thousand news
papers as unprecedented" -l- But
whether it was is doubtful, according
to the weather men. 1t was colder bv
~ degrees at Fort Worth, Texas. yeg-
terday morning than it was in pitts
burg but the weather men foretold
that 1t would be so on Saturday. The
West"er men scout . the .,.-idea
OF "old-fashioned winters" and tho
within the recollection of the oldesr
lnhabttant" stories. They insist that
facts recorded from actual observation
are better things by which to tell of
the past and predict for the future
than the tricks CT the memory of an
oid man. who lives only in the days
when his legs were so short that he
could not make headway in a foot of
snow The weather men say the old
est inhabitants are likely to forget the
length OF their legs, although they
may remember that the snow was
deeper than it has ever been. since >,

EIectrIc Calls N New YOrk.

In general appearance the New York
electric cabs are perhaps somewhat
different from any vehicle heretofore
constructed. The fore body is similar
to an ordinary hansom-cab but rear
wardly projecting from this part of
the vehicle is box in which the bat
teries are housed. These batteries are
composed of "a multitude of lead plates
carried in boxes and immersed in dill
ute acid They are inserted or re-
moved by taking off the rear end of
this so-called battery box. For obvious
reasons the running gear is composed
of four wheels instead of two, as in the
ordinary cab, and their appearance, to
say the least, is striking. Aside from
the small diameter and extremely
massive construction, they are fitted
with immense pneumatis tires five in
ches in diameter, made up Of rubber
stock from five-eights to one inch
thick. These tires are pumped to a
pressure of about eighty pounds. An
other radical departure from ordinary
practice is embodied in the arrange
ment of the front wheels as drivers, the
vehicle being steered by. the rear
wheels. Each cab is fitted with two
horsepower electric motors, one of
which Is geared to each drive wheel.
The motors are entirely encased, and
are attached to the axle adjacent to the
wheels. The steering gear is entirely
different from that of the horse
drawn vehicle. Each steering wheel
revolves ON a short axle pivoted close
to the hub on an axle tree, so that it
turns on an Independent pivot. The
two shoit steering. axles are, how
ever, connected together by various
rrods, so that both wheels move to-

DANGEROUS SMELLS.
Scents That XIII Moro Surely Than .
Gun Shot Through the
Heart.

Some smells are dangerous. single
sniff of highly concentrated pruss;c
acid will kill man as quickly as shot
through the heart The4odor of bad
egg is due to the presence of sui
phuretted hydrogen, and the objection
able perfumes of sewers and bone fac
tories are attributable chiefly to the
same gas. Chemical laboratories, SAYS
the Boston Transcript, are famous for
bad smells. BerZclus, who discovered
the element called "selenium," once
tried the experiment of permitting
bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas
TO enter his nostrl. For days after
wards he was not able to smell strong
ammonia, the oifactory nerves being
temporarily paralyzed. Sclenium gas
has the odor of putrid horseradish.
Ieliurium is even worse. There is u
story OF n physician whose patient, a
lady, refused to take an absolutely nee
essary rest because she was so fond of
being always en- the go in society. He
gave her pill containing a small guam
t:ty OF tellurium, and her breath was
affected by it to such an extent that
she was not able to appear in public for
month. She never guessed what the
trouble was. The volatized essential

ROSTERS WOODEN LEG.
The Manned Fowl Acquires Unusual
Dexter;ty and Is Always WILL
ing to Fight.

A rooster that struts about with
wooden leg is the rather unusual sight
to be seen on a farm q few miles from
Middlctown, y. Y. The rooster lost one
Of its les. last summer as the result of
too intimate acquaintance with now
ing machine. 1t was only a chick at
the time, and Mr.. Mapes' son found il
soon after it had been injured and cared
for it. The leg had been cut off just be-
low the knee joint, and the boy, after
the wound had healed, cut q piece of
stout twig to the right length and tied
il tightly to the stump of the leg. The
chicken seemed much surprised and
was very awkward at first, but it soon
became accustomed to the use Of the
artificial leg and learned to run about
on it at almost as we'll as if the leg had
been its natural one.
The wooden leg has been renewed
several times. Last winter, when it was
icy, the rooster had IL hard time keeping
its footing, and when it took q tumble
it was Gy no means easy for it 10 regain
an upright position. 1t was also very
difficult for it to make its way about
through the snow, but now it asks no
odds of any of the fowls on the place
and is ready at any time to fight with
any other rooster that gives it cause
for battle.

Mrs. Cleve1and's One Official Favor.
"All during Mr. Clevcland's two
terms rs President, Mrs. Clevelands
most intimate associates were those
whom she knew before marriage"
says writer in the June Ladies'
Home Journal. "Ono of them was
the wife of clerk in the treasury De-
partment, who lived in one of the
most modest little homes i'm Wash
ington's most questionable district.
This made no difference to Mrs.
Cleveland. Often the White House
carriage called to pick up the friend
fo' drive. Another of her intimate
friends i'll Washington was Young
woman whe taught music to support
herself. Mrs. Cleveland obtained
many pupils t0r her. Another WAS
the wife of struggling lawyer, and
each week boquet of White House
flowers came to cheer the home of the
friend of schoolgirl days. A fourth
was the teacher Of small kinder
garten, who, when the Cleveland chill
'dren reached a suitable age. transfer
red her school to the White yIousa and
the children and grandchildren Of fine
Cabinet members, and of the families
OF Mrs. Cleveand's friends. and Of
the friends Of the President. became
pupils. The only 'oifirial' favor
which Mrs. Cleveland asked of her
husband while he was Pres ident was
the appointment to office of the hus.
