SOLDIERS LOSE FILINGS.
Teeth Are Strangely Affected By the
Climate In Cuba and
Porto Rico.

The soldiers who went down into the
feverinfected island of Cuba disroy-
cred many strange things about the
climate and dts effects upon them. The
terrific downpours of rain. like moth
ing to- which they were accustome,
followed so shortly by bills, ering hea.
for few hours. were a decided novelty
especially to the Chicago soldiers. az.
customed though they are to the varid.
bic weather Of this city. Butt perhaps
the oldest manifesto tom of the cIi-
mate was in the fact that nearly all
the men who had gold filings IN thei.
teeth discovered before they left Cubs.
or soon after their return home thai
the filings had either loosened OF
dropped out altogether. says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
Whether the gold shrunk or the
teeth expanded under the influence of
the peculiar climatic conditions lk
something thatreturned warriors have
not determined. but certain ,hey are
that some strange things happened
which made the filings loosen and DROP
out and the dentists who performed
the original operations have been busy
ever since trying to explain the why's.
A correspondent returned from
Porto Rico. who spent several months
on a dispatch boat cruising between
Cuba and Jamaica and the other is
Lands of ahose seas. reports another
odd circum stance. The bunch of KEYS
he carried in his pocket from the time
ne left Chicago was not only badly
corroded. but an aluminium tag at
tached to the key ring was as badly
rusted and corroded as if it were tin.
And these keys and the tag never fell
into the water or were expos. d to the
dews by an accident. They corroded
while presumably safe in their own
ers pocket.

Manila Cigars.

Cigar dealers who have large sur.

on Manila rs a source Of American
tobacco supply in the near future.
Manila cigars are cheap. The best of
them can be had at the native stands
for B cents each and a very good
smoke can be had at the price of the
despised two.for. The old cone
shaped Manila cigar or cheroot,
which was supposed to give the best
smoking when lit at the thin end, is
rapidly going ont Of fashion and mod

Americans in Manila are taking kind.

cigars and cigarettes, and it is predic
