The SpAniards With Their Rife Did
Some Heroic Work

The Spaniards With Their Rife Did
Some Heroic Work
/ shall never cease to see, when
the word Ca1cy is spoken, line OF
some fifty or sixty light men
standing in trench, the line bent in
the middle at right angles by the
square turning of the ditch; at the
bending of this line some blue-jacketed
young officer standing always exposed
to the belt, and. sometimes, as he stood
up on the level ground, exposed to the
feet; the men rising at the word OF
this officers command for hours and
hours, delivering volley after volley full
in our faces; standing as they did so
exposed to the waist, confronting 5000
men, grimly and coolly facing death,
drawing their dead up out of the trench
as they fell, to make sanding room
for living men, holding thus their
trench immovably from morning until
eYening-this is what Caney will al
ways mean to me first of all, by virtue
of an. impression as vivid as the light

I say it is a sorrow, because | would
like to have my picture of the f1rs@
great fight / was ever in center around
some such deed of my own country
men. But the trench-ighting of the
Spaniards with their Mausers was IN
very fact the heart and center of that
days work; and as for that, the hero
ism of our men appears none the less
in the light of the heroism of their
antagonists.
These figures of Spaniards in the
shallow ditch were really very uncouth.
Their jackets of poor, thin blue cotton
were merely loose TUNES, too short
and coarse to have any dignity, and the
trousers were baggy and ill-fitting. On
their heads as long as they wore them, :

Tulare lake has passed out of exist
ence. Where once there was body
of water in central southern California
more than 1000 square miles in area
there is now only . barren desert OF
mud, drying and cracking in the heat
of the desert sunshine. For years this
lake has been known as the largest
body of fresh water west of the Rocky
Mountains. It was over eighty miles
long and about thirty-five miles across
at the widest point. It's depth was
never very great. From 1854 to 1871
the waters of the lake changed very
little in area. 1t was about these
years that irrigation was started in the
valley between Visalia and Bakersfield.
and the shrinkage became very rapid
The Kings river and Tulare river were
tapped in several places, and the water
that would have gone into Tulare lake
was spread out oversize dry pastures
and cornfelds. From 1872 to 1875 the
shrinkage was not marked. The south
ern end of the lake contracted and
took the form Of a creek. 1t narrowed
until it was not more than mile wide,
and had drawn up from the southern
end at least fifteen miles. Between 1876
and 1850, when vineyards began to be
planted, the waters shrunk up almost
to the borders of Tulare county. In
1882 they crossed it and left Kern
county altogether Boston Transcript.

A report by the British Fire Pre-
vention Committee gives interesting
results of recent test of a tireproot-
ed floor and ceiling. The floor was
of 8 inch wooden beams, close bed
ded, the joints being stopped with
FIRE clay, and this was subjected for
one hour to fierce fire. reaching q
temperature of 1866 F., with no dam
age beyond the charring of the under
surface of the beams to q depth OF
two inches. The ceiling was heated
to 500 OF. for half an hour, then the
temperature was slowly raised to
15OOoF. The material-laths and
asbestic-were but little injured, and
we're not damaged by the water used
for putting out the fire, while no por-
ton fell. The surface was cracked,
however, while some of the laths wele
a little charred.

An accurate record of the perform
ance of all mining ropes used in the
Dortmund mine inspection district, in
Germany, has been kept since 1873
During the II years to the close OF
1898, the proportion of breakages OF
winding ropes has gradually become
reduced from 1913 to O.54 per cent OF
the whole number. Out of the 369
ropes renewed at the 116 colleries last
year, 316 were round and So fat, all
being of cast steel wire, the material
used exclusively since 1895. Two OF
the ropes broke suddenly, one after
raising net load OF 35,510OOO tons
in 1877 days, the other raising a net
load of 13,2SO,O0O tons IN 246 days.
The reason for taking out ropes were
breakages of individual wires in 200
cases, general wear in 20, changed
conditions of winding 33, too great
reduction of length in 25, weakness
as shown by testing piece cut from
the end in 81, and alteration of form
in IA. Of the ordinary round ropes,
5 have been in use more than 1900
days.
