New Pile Driver.

A new and expeditions method of driving piles is described in the in structions for the Russian Engineer Corps. On two sides of the pile to be driven are made longitudinal grooves of sufficient width and depth to re- eeive ordinary gas pipes of one inch diameter. terminating ill nozzles turned toward the point of the pile. The pipes are held in place by light staples. and to their upper ends are attached rubber tubes connected with a force pump capable of delivering under water d pressure of seventy-one pounds per square inch. It is said that the outGow of this water at the point of the pile causes the latter to sink three or four times more rapidly than 1t would under the action of . pile driver. \ few blows are given. how ever. when the pile has reached the desired depth, 10 secure the necessary consolidation, when the gas pipes are withdrawn Engineer.

No ~,u For Volunteers.

ThO8gh determined to increase Gen eral Otis command, so as to provide him with 36,000 men, it is authorita- lively stated that no call for volun- teers will be issued, and renewed con fdence is expressed in the ability of this force to queu the insurrec0ion. The strengthening ol the administra- tion's confidence is the result of a cablegram received from General Otis indicating that he has at last found the point through which the insurgents shkg their supplies, and that proper steps have been taken in cooperating with the navy to cut off the fltbuster- ing expeditions sent to the Island of Luzon by friends of the Filipinos in Hongkong.
 Under the order issued. increasing the companies of infantry to 128 men each, General Otis will be provided with a force of 29.644 men. In order to increase his strength to 6,000 men 1t has been determined to increase the strength of each company, troop and battery iii the Philippines to 150 men. Colonel Thorlas Ward, assistant adju- tant general, in charge of recruiting, expects that the 5000 recruits called for will be enlisted and on their way to San Fra isco within ten days.
 While the administration expresses the utmost confidence in the ability of General Otis, with the regulars, to cope with the situation. it is evident that the sentiment is rowing that the president should call for volunteers in ot'der to provide that officer with at least 65, GOO men to begin the campaign at the commencement of the rainy season

Fun on a Military Transport.

When the United States transport Zelandia carried part of the second ex- pedition of troops from San Francisco to Manila during the early part of the war now in progress, aboard were the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers and the now famous Utah battery.
 To divert the monotony of long voyage the yet unuained soldiers in dulged in all sorts of games and pranks during the intervals between drill and school.
 The officers were not all inclined to stand upon military dignity, and so when the privates had exhausted each others good nature they dragged i'll the ''noneoms, who in turn dragged the commissioned officers into the va rious traps the skylarkers set for each other.
 Says an ex-high private who took the voyage in question:
 Some Of the boys were gathered together on the forward deck; quietly they passed the word back that so and so was wanted. Coming forward one of the group would beckon to him mysteriously and as he stopped to lis ten whaek would come tremendous blow from a barrel slave from some unknown source behind him.
 After 9 yell of laughter had sub. sided he would be handed the staYe and given the privilege of naming the next victim.
 This happened in turn to private, corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, captain and major, and the boldest held theil breath as the major, with a grim smile, said:
 Private Smith. present my compli- ments to the colonel and tell him that Maj. - respectfully desires his pres ence forward
 The colonel came, stopped over, re- ceived his whack, strengthened up, and to the delight of the boys shouted:
 Tell the chaplain to come forward at once.

TARANTULA HAWK.
4 Wasp That Kms and Eats the Female
 Tarantula,

-'+AtAAAAAat
 Low down on the Rio Graude river, said man from Texas where the sands are heated almost red hot With the sun, there grow the biggest centipedes, the biggest rattlesnakes and biggest tarantulas in the world. II you can look at one of these taran- lalas when he is pinned fast to a board With the naturalist's thin steel pin. and You are sure that he is good and dead and can not spring al you and shoot hls poison into you. he forms an in- tefesting subject to study They are 1 ooking, hairy things, with eight legs and eight eyes. Their col ors are dark brown and black. The female tarsntula is said to be q fckIe spouse and Co have summary way, all her own. of getting rid of her con sort when she is tired of him. She woes and weds all right, assumes the ehtffe care and support of the family. Ihe first matrimonial jar she has she turns to and kills her husband Not content with killing him, she eats him. he female is the larger and tie stronger of the two; they are sim ply gigantic for spiders. have seen those that measured six inches be- tween the stretch of their legs They are the terror of man and beast. But there is one little animal of the insect family that wicked Mrs. Tarantula stands in as much dread of as a man stands in dread of her, and that is a big wasp that iH Texas is known by the name of the tarantula hawk The tarantula hawk has an exceedingly bad opinion of the tarantula. It will fly around over the head of the taran- tula, make lightning-like dive down, get good clutch of the monster spi- der. fly away home with him, then all the tarantula hawk family sit down to sup. The tarantula hawk will not hurt men. On the contrary. 1t is a blessing, and you never hear of a western man harming one of them It is said that these Rio Grande cattle rangers are indebted for the tarantuIa hawk to an old New England professor, who. while down in that country in pursuit of his studies as naturalist, was stHng by one of these monster spiders and nearly died, aud would certainly have died had it not been for the whis- ky flask of his guide. In that country where rattlesnakes. tarantuIas and centipedes are so big and so plentiful. no fancher leaves his house without his whisky flask Shortly after the old professor lett that part of the country the rancher received q small box of these tarantula hawks with in- struetions what to do with them. He turned the big wasps loose, they in creased and multiplied. and now they are holding their own against their enemy, Che tarantula. New York Sun.

 ''We went all about among the huts where the sayages were resting after he battle and making preparations for the next fight. J. was a very peaceful scene, for their arms were all conceal ed under the mats, where the men sat. and many of the soldiers were accom- panied by their wives and children. They were amusing themselves by smoking and beating tom-t0ms.

HYpROPHoBlA.

1t has been asserted by many friends of animals, who rightly object to the annual torture and slaughter of dogs, and even by some physicians. that there is no such disease as hydro phobia. or rabies. as 1t is more cor rectly called
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-09-15

Those who have studied the subject carefully. however. are certain that there is a disease of dogs, which is communicable by one suffering from it to other animals and to man. But this disease is very rare, and probably not one person in a thousand bitten by dogs is in any danger of it, and not one dog killed among five hundred SUD- posed mad dogs is really mad.

 Now, his men, like many others of their class, were not what, in military parlance, is called steady. and when advancing with fixed bayonets, it was no uncommon thing for some of them. anticipating the word Halt. to stop in the middle of their charge.
 One day Jack lost his temper woe fully. Do it again. he roared. and don't stop till l give the word of com mand. Go on for ever till I say halt. and keep your line
 To see how they obeyed him. he placed himself few yards in advance facing the men, and trusting in his running powers to get out of their way. "Charge!" he thundered. anu they did charge. M. still facing them, retreated at a sharp trot. quite forgetful that behind him was a quick set brambly hedge shielding ditch. until he felt the blackthorn bayonets proding him behind. The troop came swiftly on, and in the anxiety of the moment Jack forgot the proper word, though he shouted "stop!"
 Determined not to be sco1ded again for want of implicit obedience. and ma lictously enjoying their captains ludi- crous dilemma. the men bore solidly down upon him. forcing him through the brambles and as he fell splash into the mud. with the bayonets within an inch of his nose, he at last shouted. Halt! Haiti"
 Wben he was pulled out-presenting a most pitiable appearance. however he could not help joining in the laugh ter he evoked. or acknowledging that the men had only acted in obedience to orders.

The word hydrophoDia is a misnom- CT, for mad dog has no fear of water. and will run through shallow pool without the slightest hesitation; the fear is that of drinking water or of swallowing anything, either fluid or solid, as the attempt is almost certain to throw the sufferer. man Or beast, into spasms.

Rabies was formerly always fatal, but thanks to the discoveries of Pas teur, this result may now be prevent ed through course of "anti-rabic" inoculations, provided this is begun within few days after the bite is re- ceived.

The only way of transmitting hydro phobia is by inoculation; that is, by the introduction of the virus into the body through a wound of the skin or the mucous membrane. The most usual way for this rare event to occur is, of course, through the bite of a rabid dog, cat or other animal. In Russia and some parts of Europe peas ants sometimes contract rabies from bites of mad wolves, and this is said to be the most rapidly fatal form of the disease

But not every bite, even of a gen timely mad dog, is followed by hydro phobia. If the animals teeth, for in- stance, have passed through a mans trouser leg or boot, the saliva, which contains the virus, may be wiped from the teeth. In the same way a mad dog that bites a flock of sheep usually in fleets but one or two, the wool for the most part removing the poisonous saliva before the jaws close on the flesh.

ELECTRIC POWER FOR RENT.

A committee representing the four
street car companies is Investigating
the cost of putting in q first-cls ss
power plant and the approximate
amount Of power which can be con-
tracted to consumers in Ell Paso. In
order to enable the street railway COM
panies to make their calculations, and
rent the power at low rate, they ex-
pect that many of our citizens will
avail themselves of this opportunity to
change their present steam, water or
hand power for electricity. The price
the companies expect to charge is Is
cents per thousand watts, this being
the price stipulated in the citizens
franchise given some time ago, and
power can be rented to all establish
ments such as printing offices, laun-
dries, bottling works, cigar factories,
repair machine shops, houses having
elevators, sausage factories, cooling
fans, etc. Any parties needing power
and who are willing to make the
change will please communicate in
writing to Mr.. A. Lsrmour, superin-
tendent, stating how many 81. P's. are
desired and how long they will agree
to use the same.
