have one sentiment for the SOL
diers-cheers for the living and tears
for the dead. If it were meet to
weep over the sacred dust of the
brave who died to render our flag
stainless and keep it in the sky. it is
now in order to food the graves of
the boys who are falling in the Phil
ipplne islands For they are not
fighting to add luster to "Old Glory
or to save the Union, but as mere
machines at the behest of the admin
ist.ation, which for the time being is
the government of the United States.
War with Spain, for which the
volunteer took Up arms, has long
since ended. Congress has not de-
clared war against the Filipinos nor
voted money to carry on a foreign
war of conquest. Then why this
thunder of guns, the flying thunder
bolts of he'll, and these new made
graves as numberless as the stars :!
Our arms are not adding glory to the
flag, but instead are staining thai
starry emblem of freedom with the
blood and tears of a people fighting
for the rights Of self government.
The soldier is not to blame 1t has
always been considered glorious
thing to die fighting for truth, liberty
and eternal right But when one
falls in the Philippine war there
burns no halo of glory above his
dust, but bis sad, uncalled for death
causes tears to moisten the eyes Of
every patriot in the land Therefore,
when he falls in such a war his bier
should be draped in the deepest
mourning and drenched with the
tears Of his fellow countrymen. Take
Col Stotzenberg as an example. NO
braver, truer soldier ever wore uni
form or marched in the shadow of
flag. he only recently remarked
that he was sick of such a war and
looked forward to the near future
when he and his brave volunteers
would be relieved from killing men

mobiles and Save $4,000 = Year.

Automobiles may supersede horses
where they are now used on four light
buggics Of the chiefs of the Denver
Fire Department, and on twelve light
hose wagons, says the Denver Republi-
can. Investigations as to the merits OF
the different automobile machines are
being made by the heads OF the depart.
ment and negotiations are now pending
with one Of the leading manufacturers
with the view Of their immediate intro
duction In the city. The principal rea-
sons for the proposed change are utility
and economy.
Chief Roberts OF the Fire Department
has figured out that the actual saving
to the city by the introduction OF the
automobile will be in the neighborhoou
Of $1,000 per year. He bases his state.
ment on these facts: There is one horse
used on each Of the four light bugsies
The hose wagons have two horses each.
This makes Il total or twenty-eight
horses which will not be needed 1t
costs the city for each horse $3.50 per
month. or S3&'2 per year for the twen-
ty-eight. Added to this IL the salary
OF $50 per month for sixteen men to
groom and care for the horses and the
total inside cost to the city per year
Ia S1S.752. a similar service by auto
mobiles with an average daily run of
ten miles costs SS4.
The initial cost to the city for the new
automobiles will be about SO, 600. The
light buggies are put up for rapid work
with 3l.-inch pneumatic tires, cleo
trc headlights and warning gongs with
a speed OF twenty-five to forty miles
an hour and n capacity OF thirty-fve to
nifty miles with one charging Of batter.
| les. The tires are made extra heavy
on account OF the shock which might
result from going over street crossings
at high rate of speed The vehicles
are under absolute control. equipped
with powerful band brakes, and eau be
stopped at full speed in from twelve 20
fifteen feet. These buggics cost ahou:
$1,000.
The hose wngonpare OF the anne
type OF construction. only heavier. and
will weigh. with the men on, from f.
500 TO 5000 pounds. These cost about
s3.5OO.
The automobiles are propelled by
means OF electricity. which is applied
from storage batteries carried under
meath the wagon bed. The mechanism
IL very simple and REQUIRES no techni-
cal knowledge of electricity on the part
OF the operator. The electricity Is
stored while the vehicle il In the barn
by means OF wires run from the city
wires. The cCst is ten cents per kilu-
watt. and six kilowatts will propel the
wagon sixty miles The positive plates
OF the battery viii survive the wagon.
the negative plates must be replaced
once In two or three years. and cost $50
for renewal.
Chief Roberts is very enthusiastic On
the matter. and will urge the immedat.
closing OF the contracts.
A sample buggy and hose wagon ar"
now on their way to Denver. and will
be given thorough test before the en-
tire contract Is signed.

prevent them has been unsuccessful.
The river brings down with 1t from the
mountains where 1t has its rise an en-
ormous quantity OF clayish soil, from
whose appearance 1t derives Its name
This soil Is held in suspension in the
upper reaches OF the stream, where
an extraordinarily swift current I'M
pedes sedimentation, but when the
river reaches the lower level of the
valley and the rapidity Of Its descent
Is checked, the soil carried in suspen-
sion sinks to the bottom. That is an
ordinary process, but in the case Of
the Yoang-Ho. or Yellow river, It is
made extraordinary by the enormous
volume of the subsistence. 1t goes on

inevitable. The embankments are sup

country has been converted into a lake.
These recurrent visitations are endur-
ed by the Chinese with characteristic
resignation. As a result Of flood of
this character which took place lately
1000 900 human beings are said to be
on the verge OF starvation. A few
years ago flood occurred from which
It was estimated that 100000 people

Egyptians think OF leaving the valley
