Washington, Dec 9.-The Thirteenth

Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn has
prepared a list of the seven volunteer
regiments that will be relieved from

regulars reach the island. Orders will
be issued the regulars in few days.
1t is expected that it will take ten ten
days or two weeks for the regulars to
reach San Francisco and to get the
transports ready to take them to Ma
Mia. 1t will take thirty.fiv:, days for
the transports to reach Ma:::!a and an
equal length Of time for the volunteers
to travel to San Francisco on their
way home. 1t will taen De the middle

AS the late John W. Keely announced
positively not very long ago that he
had concluded his labors of twenty-five
years; that he had finished experiment.
ing and that he had finally harnessed
the etheric forces, his death ought not
to mean that his so-called secret has
died with him. If Keely is indeed the
marvel that his admirers claim and not
the scheduled humbug, the victim OF
his own physical delusions, it should
not take long to establish his great
ness before all the world Certainly
the whole world is interested in know
ing whether Keely actually harnessed
the vibratory energy Of the universe
or only thought he had.

Recent bloodhound trials in England
indicate that the popular notion of the
pertinacity and infallibility OF those
sleuth hounds is exaggerated. Tested
in the most favorable circumstances,
not more than one dog in four faith
fully tracked it's quarry, and at least
one in four failed wholly or refused to
make the attempt. In the actual track
ing Of real fugitives, conditions would
be far less favorable to the dogs, and
their performances would doubtless be
correspondingly less creditable. We
may have to revise, or at least dis
credit, some stirring scenes in fiction,
from "Uncle Toms Cabin" to "The
Cloister and the Hearth"

Vegetable life is Influenced much
more by certain kinds OF light rays
than by others, and Flammarion, the
French astronomer, has been enabled
to estimate the relative values of the
different rays. Four hothouses, Of red,
green, blue and ordinary glass, were
built, and vegetables Of the same spe-
cies were cultivated in all. The expert
'ment showed that plants in the red
house attained much greater size
than those in the blue house. The
light through blue glass stunted the
plants, which thrive better under green
light, still better under the chemical
influence Of red rays, and best of all in
white light.
