ARMY HOSPITAL SEWERAGE.
with the water supply IL viii Cost
in the NeighbOrhoOd of $500.


Estimates OF the cost of the construc-
ton of system of sewerage and a sys-
tenn of water works for the army hospi-
tai soon TO be built on Estill avenue and
Bull street have been sent on to the de-
partment Of the quarlermaster general at
Washington. They were arrived at after
considerable work by members of the en-
cheering corps here in finding the levels
and other necessary points in the con-
struction and figuring by Capt McHarg
assistant qaartermaster, who Is in charge
Of the arrangements for the building of
the hospital
While no exact amount could be learn
ed. it is understood that the cost of the
sewers and water connections will be in
che neighborhood OF 81, 500 The contract
Tor this work will not be awarded in the
same way as will that for the construc-
ton Of the hospital buildings. Bids will
not be advertised for, but circulars will
be sent out inviting estimates of the cost
Those replying to the circulars will give
other Information relative to the construc-
ton of the systems, such as the time 1t
will require for their completion. The es-
Inmates will be sent to Washington, where
the contract will be awarded to the most
desirable constructor Of those who an
swered the circular.
The work on the sewers and water con-
nections will probably begin before that
on the buildings has gotten wen under
way II is desired 10 have the ground in
such a condition as to admit OF the con-
struction of the buildings going right on
when it is commenced, and this could not
be done if it were torn up by the workmen
engaged in putting in the sewer and wa
ter pipes.
A four-iuch main will be used to supply
the hospital There will be numerous out
| lets, as every one of the buildings will
have several faucets.

cos. n. AND L. WEN EXAMINED.
Four Surgeons Looking over Second
Regiment Soldiers.

The examination Of the members Of the
First Battalion Of the Second Georgia Reg
iment continued yesterday at Camp
Brown. The men of Companies B and L
were examined, and the work viii be
finished up to-day by the surgeons with
the examination of Company K.
Four surgeons of the Seventh Corps, de-
tailed by Col. Maus, chief surgeon, are
engaged In the work They are Brigade
Surgeon McNaughton and Assistant Sur
geons Gilbert, Hunter and Lying. Each Of
the assistants conducts a separate exami-
nation of the men who appear before
them, Maj. McNaughton having assigned
each to particular duty, a speciality is
made by each of the examination of the
various organs to see if the men are in
sound physical condition.
MAI. Naughton does not examine the
men, but makes up the record OF the ex-
animation. AS each man passes the three
assistants he is given a card that signifies
that he is all right or that he has some
particular ailment. The character of the
troubles is registered with particular care,
as upon the records will probably depend
the ability of the men to secure pensions
from the government for injuries sustain
ed during their service.
Before the men go before the surgeons
they are each instructed to sign slips that
signify whether they have a claim against
the government. A number of the men,
bers of the battalion have such claims for
injuries that have been received during
the time they have been in the service.
They viii probably request pensions In
most instances the troubles have come
about through exposure.

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-The italian
bark Carmela c. arrived yesterday from
Alicante, Spain, with a cargo OF licorice
root. Captain Caoace says that the
shipper of the cargo was so alarmed
for the safety OF his consignment on
account of war that he directed the
captain TO clear his vessel for Halifax,
N. S. but gave him private instructions
TO deliver the cargo at New York. The
vessels charter party directed the cap
tain TO proceed to Halifax and placed
a penalty of e2OO on the vessel for any
deviation from the terms of the agree
ment. Captain Caoace. however, does
not think the penalty will be enforced.
This penalty was entered in the charter
party to clear the shipper from any re-
sponsibility for the captains subsequent
failure to carry out its terms by landing
the cargo in New York.

EYE LANGUAGE.
A More Truthful Exponent OF the
Inward Thoughts Than the
Tongue.

No part of the human countenance
engages our attention so frequently
as the eyes. When face to face in con-
yersation, we do not look at the lips
although, as q rule, the attention Is
very quickly taken by any movement
but at the eyes of the person with
whom we are speaking. SO much Is
this the case that the habit of many
deaf people of watching the mouth al
ways strikes us as peculiar. In fact,
one usually feels that there is sense
of Incompetence in the association
Of mind with mind by means Of con-
rersation II there Is not continual
interchange OF glanees making kind
Of running commentary on the words
.poken. The same may be said of or
binary greetings when two people
shake hands. Unless there Is at the
same moment a meeting of friendly
looks the ceremony loses much Of It's
meaning.
Now, why Is there this continual
meeting Of eyes accompanying all
kinds OF human intercourse? Partly
no doubt, II is attributable to GER
lain habits of comparatively recent
date The eye, "the window of the
soul" is a more truthful exponent OF
he inward thoughts than the tongue,
and seeing that speech Is very fre-
luently used not to tell the thoughts
but to conceal them, we look to the
I'VE for confirmation or the reverse
of what our ears are taking in.-

WATER FROM SAND DUNES.
Curious Sources of supply for the
Cities Along the sencOnst
of Holland.

Consul Corey, of Amsterdam, In the
July consular reports, makes the Curl
Gus statement that the water supply
of that city is being obtained from the
sand dunes bordering the sea in the
vicinity. The dunes consist Of sand
blown up into ridges from the beach,
having a height near Harlem of about
20 feet and a width of about two and a
half miles. The fresh water they con-
tain is supposed TO come chiefly from
the rainfall. Not only is the water in
the dunes fresh above sea level, but it
Is perfectly fresh also to a depth of GO
feet below the see level. The water in
the immediate neig' borhood is salt.
1t is held by some persons that the
sand in some way renders the sea wa.
ter fresh, but it is more ineligible to
find the source of the fresh water Of
the dunes in the rainfall.
BE the cause what it may the dunes
are a vast reservoir of fresh water.
which is being collected for Amster-
dam by means OF stoneware pipes 13
feet beneath the surface and by means
Of open canals. For Haarlem the
water is collected in wells 55 feet below
sea level. There is some doubt, how
ever, as TO the permanency of the sup
ply # too largely drawn upon. Wells
sometimes give fresh water for awhile
and aftsrward turn salty. The occur
renee of fresh water on small low
Islands and on sandy beaches has long
been curious problem upon which
the waterworks Of Amsterdam may
throw some light.-Baltimor Sum-
