FIFTH REGIMENT BAND.
State Adjutant General Honors the Ge-
nosha Musicians.

1t is unauthoratively announced that
the Jacoby & Compton band Of this
city has been made the official band Of
the fifth regiment. Director JacOby
has not yet received any official mott
fcation as yet of the appointment Of
the band but this is expected to arrive
in a few days There were a large
number of applications for the appoint
ment from nearly every good band in
the state, but the Kenosha band was
the first to file an application and the
fact accompanied with the fact that
they are eminently fitted for the honor
secured them the appointment. The
band is perhaps the best one ever
organized in this city and is composed
entirely of Kenosha players. The
friends of the boys will be glad to hear
of their appointment TO the honory
position.

Oldest Wooden Building In the World.

OkueSG w OOOSn bu1Au1nE IN inc WORLD
In St. Nicholas Miss Ida Tigner
Hodnett writes of 1.-THE Little Jap
anose at Home" Miss Hodnett
says:
The old castles which were the
homes of the daimio princes were
built of stone, but these, too, were
constructed so as to offer as little
resistance as possible to earthquake
shocks. The walls slant from the
base to the roof and are supported
within by immense timbers, the in
ward slope itself being safeguard
against danger from earthquakes.
Buildings erected according to the
Japanese idea of what is necessary
to give security against earthquakes
have stood for centuries. Some wood
en- pagodas of great height are
known to have been in existence for
700 years, and the old wooden mu-
scum at Nara, in which are pre-
served the mikado's rare treasures
of ages, is fully 1900 years old.
This is a large, oblong building
made of logs of keaki (kee-ah-kee),
a reddish brown wood, put together
in the log cabin style, and it is sup
ported merely on wooden legs rest
ing upon loose stones, as in the case
of the ordinary house described
above. No part of the building has
been renewed except the roof, and
this has been put on only three
times. The present roof is made of
tiles and is about $50 years old. This
is in all probability the oldest wood
en- building in the world, and it is
certainly a notable example Of the
almost imperishable nature of some
Japanese woods.

Our Lenethening Days.

A day is the name for the time in
which the earth rOtates once and a
month for the time in which the
moon revolves once, says Professor
George Ell. Darwin in The Atlantic.
Then, since tidal friction retards the
earth s rotation and the moons rev.
olution, we may state that the day
and the month are now lengthening
at different rates which are caloula-
BILE, although the absolute rates in
time are unknown. 1t will suffice
for a general comprehension of the
problem to know that the present
rate Of increase of the day is much
more rapid than that of the month,
and that this will hold good in the
future. Thus the number of rOta-
tons Of the earth in the interval
comprised in one revolution of the
moon diminishes, or, in other words,
the number of days in the month di-
FINISHES, although the length of each
day increases SO rapidly that the
month itself is longer than at pres
ent. For example, when the day shall
be equal in length to two of our actu-
al days the month may be as long as
81 of our days and the earth will
spin round only about 10 times in
the month.

NEW ORDER OF THE BATH.
Rev. William MOfr Seeks to Pledge
Its Members to Keep Clean,

Rev. william MOTT seeks 10 EAGA9S
Its Members to Keep Clean,
There is a new order of the bath in
New York, of a sort more suited to a
democracy than its namesake Of the
crusades. The Rev. William W. Moir,
who has instituted this order, calls it
the Order of the Silver Cross, but adj
mits that the other name is appropriate.
Mr.. Morris book of statutes is much
briefer than that issued by George 1,
and the regalia prescribed for modern
knights of the bath is much simpler
than that worn by former companions
of the order. The golden scepter with
its three united imperial crowns, the
gold collar, with nine crowns and eight
roses, thistles and shamrocks, and the
silver star, Mr.. Moir replaces by a single
silver badge.
George I ordered that his knights
should wear a red gurcoat lined with
white, a crimson mantle, a white silk
hat with white plumes, white boots,
red stockings and breeches and a sword
in a white leather scabbard. Mr.. MOir
says nothing about dress, but his requt-
site for membership is thus stated: ITO
desire to be a clean man oneself and to
help others to be clean. Among the
rules of the order are the following:
"To take a sponge bath or cold water
tub every day unless prevented by i'll
ness.
"To wear about ones person the
cross of the order.
"To write Mr. Moir the last Sunday
of every month each time that you can
remember to have broken the rule Of
the order or to tell him the came. -

"A Huge Breakwater.

The new breakwater now under
construction by the Government at
Buffalo. N. Y, under the charge of
Major Thomas W. Symonds, engineer
corps, United States Army, will be
the largest in the world. The origi.
nal breakwater was begun in 1868,
with projected length of 1000 feet;
this was increased to 1900 feet1by the
project Of 1874, and the work was
finished in 1894. The inclosed water
harbor thus formed by the breakwater
and the sand-catch pier was one and
half miles long. The new breakwater
now being built will be IL, 500 feet long,
making total length Of 20,10 feet
from the light house to Stony Point.
The nearest approach to this construc.
ton in length, said Major Symonds,
in late address before the Buffalo
Real Estate Exchange, is the cele'
brGted> breakwater at Cherbough,
France, which is $4,000 feet long, cost
$40, 000,0 900, and was seventy years i.

A Land Which is Without Any Life.

The West Coast of South America
from north Of Callao, Peru, to the port
Of Coquimbo, Chile, is rainless re.
gion. From the Andes to the Pacific
no rain falls, and no vegetation or an.
lmal life exists beyond what man
brings there. 1t is q dead world. The
last rain which fell in Antofogasta,
Chile, was the first that had fallen in
sixteen years, and the last shower in
Iquique, Chile, was the first rain which
had fallen in twenty-four years. The
hills or mountains back of both of these
cities are bare rock and sand and red
loose clay, yet tho day after the rain
greenish tinge began to show itself aud
by the second day these bare and in.
hospitable hills were dressed in green
coat from top to bottom. As no more
rain fell, this verdure quickly dried
up and died. The query rises naturally
whence did this vegetation come? II
from seeds lying dormant in the soil,
then once sprouting would finish this
source, and the short life of this plant
gives no opportunity for the develop.
ment of seed.
Every succeeding time when rain
falls in these regions in periods Of
from fifteen to forty years, the same
phenomenon occurs. The growth evi.
IDENTIFY springs from some root which
lies dormant in the soil, and is another
remarkable proof Of the power of ma.
ture to adapt life to hard conditions,
as there is no evidence that for several
million years past there have been any
more favorable conditions for life on
this coast than existed now. No evil
dence exists that at any time vegetable
life has existed in all this region, and
until the course of the winds change,
all this region is destined to remain,
as it is to-day, barren desert; but
this strange phenix-like vegetation is
worthy of the attention of the scientist
querist. -Kansas City Journal.

Fishing With Scoop Shovels.

The greatest sport we have heard Of
in this section recently is the catch Of
fish that Hubert Bares, Anton Fergen
and some others recently made. They
went to the Jim River, near Victor
Uhrich's place, and in slough which
was formed last spring from overflow
Of the Jim River they cut q hole in
the ice, and with scoop shovels they
took out over 275 pounds Of fine fish.
They saia that they found fish frozen
fast to the ice, which when held in
their hands, revived and assumed thei1
natural condition. It is said there
are thousands of fish in the ponds and
sloughs that we're formed last spring
by the overdowed river. Most Of
these will perish in a short time ate,
the ice commences to freeze, for want
Of water and air. There are no doubt
many fine pickerel in some of the

STRANGE SHEEP STORY.

After the Herder Was Killed the Larg'
Herd Wandered 500 Miles. >.~~
A herder in charge of q flock Of 200t
sheep, which we're grazing near thu
base of the San Francisco mountains,
in Arizona, was killed by Lightning
during a terrific storm which visited
that section about August l. AS thu
herder was not expected to como in
with his sheep until the LIST Of October,
his absence during August and Sep
TENDER attracted no attention. When
the middle of October came and he
did not show up, messengers were sent
out to find him.
After search Of some days in the
vicinity of where he was last seen, the
remains of a camp we're found under 9
tree which had been riven by the
lightning. The cooking utensils were
scattered about, and the remains of
blanket were found, which were iden'
titled as parts of one which the man
had taken with him. The water keg
also was recognized by O mark which
had been burned into one Of the
slaves.
A further search revealed the bones
Of human being scattered about over
the ground, some Of them more than
hundred yards from the tree, having
evidently been carried about by
wolves. A prospector who had passed
that way had camped for night with
the man about the LIST Of August, and
said the herd was then moving north"
ward. The tree around which these
articles were found was just about far
enough north to be the next camping
place, and when it was remembered
that there was q severe storm of thun-
der and lightning in that section one
night about the time referred to, II
was clear that the man had made his
camp under this tree, and had been
killed by lightning and his body de.
voured by wolves. The sheep had
never been heard Of, and no trace Of
them could be found anywhere in that
part Of the country.
But now comes the strange part Of
the story. About two weeks ago 9
herd of about 1000 sheep was found
on the plain in San Miguel County, in
this Territory, with no ono in charge
Of them, and to all appearances belong
ing to nobody. The parties in Arizona
heard Of this fact, and wrote to an off,
cor in this Territory, giving their
marks and explaining how the sheep
could be identified. It was found be-
yond any doubt that this was the herd
that had disappeared from the range
in Arizona about August 1. The ami
mails had been shifting for themselves
for more than three months, and
turned up at point fully 500 miles
from the place where the herder was
killed. They had crossed the Rio
Grande on the way.-San Francisco
