CLEANING BY CREMATION
Testing of New Scheme for LesS-
 ening Illness Among Soldiers.

A new invention that promises to Irevolutionize military camp sanitation and minimize the dangers of typhoid and other epidemics has just had a
 successful test at the state camp a5 1 Peekskill. twas conducted by Will liam G. Bisseu, Gty bacteriologist and who is also surgeon major of the Seventy-fOurth regiment of the na- t-onal guard. DT. BisselI will recom-
 mend to the state milftary authorities that the invention be adopted for use
 by the national guard. He believes it
 will eventually be used by the govern
 ment.
 The problem of d;spoang of camp offal has bothered the military author
 lties of the world for a grs2. many years. It was generally admitted that
 the open sinks were reSpons3 3ble for a
 large percentage of the sickness or
 troops who served in the war between
 spain and the United States last year.

 s2lu the sinks were to blame for con- SidefdDle sickness in the bngada to

 WaS the same in ether southern camps. some time ago pr. BiSsell conceived
 the Idea Of having small DOT able in clneFatOrs used for 6isp0sing of can0 offai. Thsse inci1erators or furnaces were devised by two Buffalo inventors Tor use in country places where there IS no sewerage system. Dr. BiSseu fig ured that if they worked successfully Tn those places there was. 10 reason why they shouldn't i1 military camps.
 when Major General Roe of the na- tonaI guard was in this city recently. pr. Bfssell suggested that she inyell- Tf0n hn given state camp. Major General Roe fell in with the idea and detailed nr. Bissell to conduct the experiments. Seven teen of the furnaces wer seR+ to Pseks- kill for trial They went into use June 1. Dr. Bissell returned home yes eeIday and reports that the experi- ments were very successful The in cI1eratOrs Wkich were used weigh about 300 pounds each and resemble huge stoves in appearance Each con slsts of cylinder of shee5 iron. within which is a receptacle similar to ke,s- tie swung or brunnions. with a fra box beneath it. A short stovenina above it furnishes a draught for the fire. The device is arranged SD that the fumes and gases are drawn down into the fire and thoroughly destroyed oefore passing into the oWts:de air. The cremation $ Od0rless and occupies about one hour. The fncinerators were taken i1-o the field by the Twen- ty-th-Cd regiment and worked vsry sat isfactorily. Major General Roe and Colonel Nelson H.

CUBAN HAD THE RIGHT IDEA

Many If our volunteers who fought in Cuba and came into personal con tact with the Cuban patriot army un- der Gomez have more or less anus ing stories to tell os the peculiar brand of military discipline which prevailed among the half-naked, half-armed, kaIf-sJarved sol6iery which had so long defied the best troops Spain could send against them or rather after them-f0r if they were on.y half a@meG their equipment Of legs was complete and efficient. and as run ners they could be outpaced only by FiHpin0s. Spaniards were no match for them as sprinters. Their idea of discipline, however. was z thing to marvel at, and caused as much amused
 comment among our soldiers as our CNn ideas of discipline evoke from the English martinetS. Perhaps the most interesting of these CubanS were the few who had at enc time been in thiS country. earning a living as cigar makers in Florida. It is related of ono Of these Cubans who was extremely proud of being able to speak United Stats-,' thal after the junction of our army with that of Gomez he wanted to leave camp Cne evening to return

 went away repeating the magic word over and over to himself, so as to be sure of remembering it. A little after midnight he made his way back to
