The editor Of the CLIMAX is in receipt
of letter from Major General Nelson
A. Miles acknowledging with thanks a
suggestion that he examine the files of
the New York Sun of last summer and
find therein the most unreserved con-
domination of the food provided for our
soldiers in Cuba The particular case
which then aroused the ire of that
great journal, but which is now IN
friendly to General Miles attitude on
the beef question, was the awful death
Of private soldier Tiffany, who in the
Suns own language. was Starved To
Death The young man, stricken
with fever in Cuba, was sent home on a
transport, but the food was so wretched
that his vitality was hopelessly under
mined. He reached home and friends,
and all that countless wealth could do
was employed to vitalize the emaciated,
starved creature, but in vain. He
died, and there arose storm of indig-
nation at the cruel care he had received
from the country in whose service he
had enlisted.
Remembering the Suns unsparing
criticism of the cOmmissary depart
ment, at the time, and knowing its
change of front now, we telegraphed
General Miles to produce the article
and compel the paper to eat its own
words, with the hope also, that it
might aid him to establish the truth of
his claims that our soldiers had been
fed on rotten meat.
While in Atlanta last July We met a
soldier who had been wounded at San
Juan Hill. He was Irregular" OF
eight years service. Said he: "We
can fight Spaniards twenty four hours
every day, that's our profession; but
id if We can fight starvation %
Questioned closely, he said his expert
ence with the food supply of the army
in Cuba made him doubt the honor OF
unfolding the flag of a nation that
would permit its men to starve in sight
of plenty. But this was only one in
stance.
General Miles is engaged in diff
cult task. While he has truth on his
side the whole machinery of the gov.
eminent seems to be against him. We
are for General Miles, and trust he will
kick over the whitewash bucket pre-
pared for the packing houses, and ex.

Beautiful Portraits.

What is more beautiful and dear to
the living than a portrait of the be-
loved who have departed and are now
on the other side of the great divide
that separates our world from the
world to come? This is illustrated by
the knots of people ever gathered
around Moberley's show window to
view the portraits of prominent people
placed there by the Waters Party
during the last two months.
Their portraits have in every instance,
been greatly admired, not only as per
feet licensees, but as the most beauti-
fully finished pictures ever presented
here.
Life like they are to such an extent
that one feels almost like saluting
them and. the sOftness aud beautiful
finish of the work calls forth univer-
sal praise.
The back ground and shading gives
that gentle relief which but few artists
know how to produce. This fine dis
play of portraits will continue ON ex-
hibition three weeks.

Some EIenani Work in Art.

We have written considerable of the
fine portraits made by the Waters
party artists, who have been stopping
at the Hotel Glyndon, in this city, for
the past two months, but all we have
said could not in the least, convey even
slight conception of the elegance and
genuineness of their work. We have
never known an artist that could make
a portrait so natural. Every detail Of
feature and dress is supplied with a
deiniteness and correctness that is re-
markable. There is nothing mechani-
cal in their work but every thing is free
hand movement directed by a gift or
talent Of the artists, such as is found
only in rare instances. A talent, the
gift of nature, which is able to impart
into every production life-like feature.
that makes the picture appear almost
to breathe, and relieves the bare and
strait mOnotOny the characteristic cf
so many pictures.

The Mysterious Darkness OF Friday-The
Phenomenon Explained.

thShohiShoh INPtoiSNs
At 4 O'Clock Friday afternoon last
with alarming suddenness and depth
the darkness of night settled over the
face of the earth. 1t was as dark as night
for a while, and when the sable curtain
began to lift the hardest hail storm in
memory fell for five minutes, pelting
man and beast with relentless fury.
The hail stones were not unusually
large, but they rained down in such
quantity that the streets were white
with the icy pebbles. This interesting
explanation of the wonderful phenome-
non and its relation to tOrnadoes ap-
peared in Saturdays Louisville Dis
patch:
The manner i'm which hail is formed
is accountable for its rapid fall and the
short duration of the storm. The at
mOspheric conditions for a hail storm
are identical with those of a tornado
travelling some distance above the
earth. 1t is always local in character,
and in this respect bears out the asser-
ton that hail is produced by tornado
passing high in the air.
When hail falls there are two clouds
or strata of air; the upper one cold, the
lONeT WARM. "A cuIfSnL OI ar GOldleS
around a horizontal axis, and flake of
snow falling from the cold upper strata
becomes moist when it reaches the
lower cloud; here it is caught by the
whirling current and carried back to
the cold strata This is repeated dOz-
ems of times and can readily be under
stood by examining hail stone. 1t is
formed of layers, one of snow and an
other of ice. The ice is the vapOr or
water which was caught in the lower
strata and almost instantaneously
frozen when carried up. The coat is Of
an infnitesimal thickness When this
is CONCEALED, snow gathers on it and it
is carried downward for more mois-
ture. This continues until gravitation
overcomes the influence of the vortex,
or until centrifugal force hurls it out.
All this takes but few seconds and
when the stone is released from the
current it dashes down. THIS rotating
notion in the air does not continue
more than a few minutes, at most,
which explains why hail never falls
more than a few minutes. Tomatoes
pass quickly, and a haiIstorm must
necessarily end as rapidly.
