THE tenth CAVALRY
Has Been Ordered:tO Cuba to Relieve
Volunteers

That portion of the Tenth cavalry
stationed at San Antonio has been or
dered to santiago.
The Express says:
The Tenth cavalry Is destined to
leave San Antonio before the Sixth in
fantry. A telegram WAS received from
the war department yesterday direct
quarters of the Tenth go to Santiago,
Cuba, and directing its departure from
here within the next two weeks. The
departure of the Tenth causes regrets
from many of the people of this city.
It's officers have made many warm
friends while here and~its men have
conducted themselves in very credit
able manner.
Tue receipt of the order created
conservation and sorrow among the
families of the officers and soldiers of
the Tenth when its contents became
known to them. Most of the officers
will leave their! families sbehind, not
caring to take them to the deadly
Cuban climate at the Threshold of it's
worst, the rainy season.
The Tenth is sent to relieve the
volunteers who are being brought back
for disbandment. The order has not
been q great surprise to some of the Of
ficers, who while they have not ex-
pressed such opinion, have been look
ing for such an order as logical
sequence to the removal of the volun-
teers from Cuba, knowing that the lat
ter would have to be replaced and that
other commands were under orders for
Oriental service.
Should the order sending the Sixth
to the Philippines be carried out after
the Tenth goes, it will leave the
military post here with but small
squad of soldiers, and the Mexican
frontier will be. entirely ungarrison-

AS a preliminary of last attempt to
compromise the difficulties of the au-
tonomy program, the Spanish commits
sioners had proposed an exchange Of
prisoners, and after Il delay, caused by
the premature rumOrS of American inter-
vcntiOn. the inSurgent chiefs modified
their refusal by an exception in favor OF
''nOn-cOmbatantS and invaldS'-a shrewd
plan TO rid their camps OF a few unproht-
able captives.
Yet even on those terms, there was an
apprehension that Gen. Garcia would re-

A Magnetic Island.

Bornholm Island, a Danish possession
in the Baltic Sea, is so highly magnetic
as to be considered Il menace to naviga
ton. 1t measures about 20 miles in
length by IA in breadth, and is distant
about "a miles east by south from the
nearest point Of Sweden. 1t is famous for
its geological peculiarities; it consists al
most entirely of magnetic. Its magnetic
influence is not only known to the navi-
gators of those waters, but is much feared
by them on account OF it's influence on
the magnetic needle, which makes the
correct steering of IL ship "A matter of
much difficulty. This influence is felt at
"A distance of 10 miles, and so palpably
that on the island being sighted, mar =
iners on the Baltic at once discontinue
steering their Course by the needle, and
turn, instead, 10 the well-knOwn light
houses and other signs by which to di-
rect their craft. There are several mag
netic islands and points along the At
lantic coast Of South America. Near the
mouth OF the Rio de la Plata is famous
magnetic point-the western side of the
headland known as the Punta Negra-
and navigators of vessels bound for Bu-
enos Ayres or MontevideO have to be
very careful not to go too near it.

THE FLORIDA GOPHER.
1t Is a Turtle and Lives ia the Ground With Rattle
snakes and Lizards.

THE most interesting creature | ever
saw in Florida" said New York man
VINO spent the Winter there, was the
burrowing turtle. This turtle is peculiar
10 iorlda, and ii il an important factor in
the domestic economy of the cracker popu-
| lauon, Tor the Florida cracker dOtes on
the gopher-that's what they call this
burrowing turtle-and thinks il is the
finest thing in the edible line that ever
existed. | couldn't agree with him on
that, though, for didn't approve of the
company the gopher is in the habit of
keeping, and | can't soc how ANYTHING
can be real good and keep bad company
The gopher digs "A deep hole and a large
one in the ground, and remains in it all
the time except when out grazing for this
reptile is a graZer, and pastures lust like
cow, except that it won't eat anything
but wild grass. This turtle doesn't like
the vicinity of water, and selects the
high, dry, sandy ridges for its home
Its cracker neighborS say that it never
drinks water-which would also he a
habitual characteristic OF the cracker if
he could always get something stronger
than water.
Another thing that induces the gopher
to dig its burrOW out OF the reach OF water
is that in those dry and sandy places the
rattleSnakes and various kinds Of hide
GUS looking lizards are most plentiful,
and the gopher is never happy unless its
burrOw is shared by a colony OF either one
or the other Of these, if not OF both. Find
a gopher hole and uncover it, and you will
be sure to find from half a dozen to a
dozen or more rattlesnakes, and maybe
Is or 20 lizards of various sizes and cOlOrS
and degrees of uglinesS occupying it with
it's proprietor. The gopher plainly loves
the cOmpanionship of these deadly things,
although it is itself as meek and harmless
as a dove.
mo dweller in those parts OF Florida
ever goes anywhere about without a bag
slung over his or her shoulder. This is to
put gOphers in, as some are pretty sure to
be found paSturing in the wild grass
patches. The moment gopher is sur
priSed by a person with bag it shuts
itself securely in its shell, and the cracker
picks it up and tumbles it into the bag.
The gopher is likewise trapped by digging
a hole close to the entrance of its burrOw
and sinking a barrel or box into it and
covering the trap with loose twigs. When
the gopher comes out and starts on a
fOraging trip it tumbles into the trap and
can't get out. What terrapin are to the
high living epicure, the gopher is to the
Florida cracker. The gopher deposits
from so to 100 green eggs in a hole in the
sand, and if the cracker does not un
earth them and add them to his bill of
fare, which is his habit, the eggs will
hatch, and in three weeks the sand will
be covered with young gophers, about the
size of a quarter of "A dollar, scrambling
in all directions to hide away from hawks
and other birds of prey, which are par
ticularly fond of the little reptiles, and
keep the future colony of gophers within
bounds"

PIGEON RAISING.
Large Space Not Necessary for Success with the Birds

Pigeons, if well cared for in every re-
spect, can be successfully kept in con-
finement, though. of course, it is de-
sirabie TO give them as much liberty as
possible. \ loft 20 feet long, Is feet wide
and six to eight feet high will accommo-
date 50 pairs nicely The outside should
have Il wire fly, or cage, at least 15 feet
square for the above-sized building. This
gives them II chance TO exercise and sun
themSe Ives.
The interior should be arranged with
wooden floor. with nests n foot square all
around the building. boxes for salt and
OySter-ShclS, and Il tray for feed and
sharp sand. Each pair OF breeders must
be supplied with two nests, for they will
often lay other eggs before their young
are fu!l-grown. Pigeons can stand the
coolest weather, and heating the loft is
unnecessary. Each male should have Il
mate. They can be mated by pennIng
both in "A small box for few days, when
they will generally mate up, and stay
mated forever, until death separates them.
Wheat, peas, and cracked corn make the
staple for pigeon feed year in and out
No green food is necessary.
For intelligence, instinct, and faSt-fiy-
ing qualities the pigeon, without doubt,
stands at the head OF all the feathered
flocks. Take IL homer, for instance. Note
its fright, intelligent eye. Taken FAR from
home InI liberated. it soars high i'll the
air, making Inrct Cl1cltS, anu biitii -
off toward its home with Il message.
Some of these birds haze iiown as far as
| 900 miles and reached their homes in
safety As meSSage-bearers almost evcrs
wurship uses them during times Of war.
There are :, number of varieties, but the
most popular breeds in this country are
homers, carriers, archangrls, pouters,
barbs, Jacobins. and Duchesse. The
archangels are considered the most hand
some. The pigeon business may be di-
vided into two ciaSses-fancy and mar
ket. The market pigeons are killed when
month old, ami bring fair prices. \
pigeon lays two eggs, with day inter
vening, and generally i'll Is days matches
male and female squad. Until the
young are 10 days old milk which is
SecFeted in the thrOatS OF the parents is
fed the little ones. After that time they
take coarser food and in six weeks are
full grown, beginning themselves to breed
in about six months.
After their young are two weeks old
the parent bird builds another nest. lays
two more eggs, and the breeder has
squads and eggs going most Of the time.
The male bird sets upon the eggs, equally
dividing the labor with the hen. They
should be fed twice each day, and at the
same time given fresh water to drink and
to bathe in; sharp sand on the floor, salt
witt the food, and tobacco stems for nest
material, which prevent lice.
A loft Of pigeons is a source OF great
pleasure, and the birds are an ornament
to wel!-kept grounds.

an iriDOrtant contribution to the history ol

operations in 1898 the last observations
were made. This wOrk-the great trl-
angulation from the Atlantic to the IA
cific on the goth parallel OF latitude, on
which an accurate surrey OF the Wnole
country mainly re5tS-will be described
in seven parts, and will be printed in one
large Quarto volume. The treatment oil
