INDIANA's REGULAR SOLDIERS.

When we talk of our Indiana soldiers the
most of us think only of the volunteers. for
getful that in the regular army are many
Indiana men. The oversight is natural
enough, since the volunteers keep their
state organization, while the regulars, as
fast as they are enlisted, are sent to fill up
any regiments that may be short of men.
A recruiting station has been located in
indianapolis for years, and the greater
number of recruits accepted by the officer
In charge have, of course been Indiana
men. AS a general thing they have been
scattered through the army. and it is quite
remarkable that, as stated by Captain
Black, the recruiting officer. nearly half Of
a single regiment, the Sixteenth, is COM
posed of Indianians. 1t is, perhaps, ac-
counted for, in part, at least by the fact
that the hard times of the past few years
and the difficulty of finding employment,
have sent many men into the army who
would not have enlisted otherwise. But,
whatever their motive in entering the serv-
ice, those sons of Indiana have made good
soldiers. They went over from Tampa in
crowded Transports if they were uncom-
Portable they made no complaints; if their
rations were not up to the mark the public
is none the wiser. They bore their depriva-
tions and discomforts with the manliness
and self-restraint of soldiers who learn to
take what comes without protest as a part
of army life. And they fought at Santiago
like heroes, but only here and there in an
Indiana home was there individual identity
known. The public, even of their own State,
simply knew them as the Sixteenth Regu-
lars" Now they are at Montauk Point,
brought back from Cuba, worn, sick,
broken-the very shadows of the vigorous
men who went so carelessly and confidently
into the ranks, some of them, doubtless,
since war was probability. Honor is given
to our volunteers for their willingness to do
and dare for their country. 1t has hap
pened that, so far as this State is con-
cerned, its sons among the regulars are
the only ones who have done active service
Let them have their due share of honor
and sympathy, for they have surely earned
it. The Sixteenth Regulars should hear
from Indiana

We are not the only people who have had
sick soldiers. Mulhall, the highest sta
tistical authority and an Englishman, says:
''In the Crimean war 1880 British soldiers
took the field, of whom 2,755 were killed in
action. 1920 were wounded, and of these
,S47 died in hospital. and 1850 died of dis
ease" The same authority states that of
500, 400 soldiers engaged in the Crimean war
on both sides. 1875 died of disease. He
adds: "Only Il per cent. of the French army
were admitted to hospital for disease, name
~, 225, 900. whereas 147 per cent. of the Brit
ish were admitted-that is, the whole army
nearly twice over during the campaign,
such admissions reaching 144,0O0. or $4,000
more. than the total strength" From the
same authority is learned that in the Maxi
milan invasion of Mexico, 1926, there
were $1,000 French troops landed in Mexico.
of whom 1,1S0 were killed in action. 1859
were wounded. and of these $40 died. and
4925 died of disease. During the Franco
German war. out of total loss by the
French of 1850 men, 5000 were from dis
ease, while the Germans lost 6s965 men from
typhoid fever alone. But all these peoples
are used to war

Mr.. BRUSH'S NEW GAS.
It's COnductivity Hundreds of Times
Greater than that of Hydrogen.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 23.-With attend
ance swelled to upwards of seven hundred,
the second day of the convention of the
American Association for the Advance of
Science opened here to-day. The pro-
gramme was a heavy one. comprising meet
ings of all the sections and several recep-
tions Three auxiliary associations had
meetings to-day, the American Chemical
Society closing its two days meeting at the
Walker building, the Geological Society of
America meeting with the Geology Soci-
ETY. of the American Association and the
American Forestry meeting in Horticul-
tural Hall.
Mr.. Charles F. Brush read paper Of
great interest on "A New Gas. The gas
is constituent of the atmosphere, and is
found absorbed in many substances. It's
chief characteristics thus far eXperimentally
determined are enormous heat conductiyity
and low pressure Mr.. Brush showed that
its conductivity, even when mixed with
larger excess of other gases, is something
best gaseous conductor heretofore known,
and conjectures are that the conductivity
of the pure gas will be found thousand
or more times that of hydrogen. Mr.. Brush
discovered the new gas nearly year and
a half ago, while looking for secluded hy-
drogen in gas After many months of ex-
permenting he has recently effected par
tial separation of the new gas from the air
by diffusion. In the first diffusion the heat
conductivity of the air was increased some
thing like a hundred-fold.

One Firm Offers to Build Forty-KnOt-
an-Hour Destroyers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23s-The Naval De-
partment opened bids at noon to-day for
sixteen torpedo-boat destroyers and twelve
torpedo boats to cost in the aggregate not
exceeding Sc, SOC, Co., as provided in the last
naval appropriation act. These twenty
eight destroyers and torpedo boats consti-

destroyers are to be about 400 tons and
are TO cost not more than $4,000 each,
while the torpedo boats are to be about
$50 tons ana to cost not more than $4,000
each These destroyers will be the first
vessels of that type added to our navy ex-
cept those improvised from yachts during
the recent war exigency. They are to have
twin screws. vertical engines and a bunker
capacity for carrying al least 100 tons OF
coal, affordng some protection to the en-
gines and boilers. The vessels will be
lighted throughout by electricity They
are TO be built strong and staunch. with
good sea-going qualities, and designed TO

teen-foot torpedoes. Berthing space will
be required TO accommodate crew of sixty
men and four officers and provision space

Nowadays, so far from criticising the or
ganization of soldiers societies, everybody
regards them as a natural result of mill
tary comradeship and powerful aid in the
cause of good government and good citizen
ship. The Society of the Army of Santiago
de Cuba is the first organization to result
from the recent war. but it will soon be
followed by the Society of the Army of
Porto Rico. the Society Of the Army of
the Philippines and others. There should be
one organization admitting as members on
an equal footing all the officers and men
who enlisted and were mustered in, whether
they saw actual service or not, for. on the
score of patriotism they are entitled to
equal honor with those who did the fight
ing. This might appropriately be called the
Second Grand Army of the Republic.

The Knights of Pythias ought to make
some amends to Damon According to the
legend, Damon and Pythias were two
friends. citizens of ancient Syracuse. For
some offense Pythias was doomed to death
by the Emperor Dionysius. the elder. but
asked TO be temporarily respited in order
to arrange his affairs. promising to procure
4 friend to take his place and suffer his
punishment If he should not return. He
Was allowed to depart, and when he did not
return on time Damon gave himself up as
bis substitute. But before the time for the
execution Pythias returned, and Dionysius
WAS so impressed by the exhibition OF true
Friendship that he set both of them free.
Now. one can easily see that Damon was
ready to sacrifice himself for his friend. but
what did Pythias do? So far as appears he
did not show any particular friendship for
Damon nor evince his readiness to make
any sacrifice for him. On the contrary. by
