the congress. u
After four days of stormy debate the
House Thursday passed the army appro-
priation bill. As adopted the bill is only
slightly modified from the form in which
1t came from the committee. One of the
last amendments adopted opens the SOL
dlers' homes to the officers and men of the
volunteer and regular armies. incapacf-
tated by service during or since the Span-
ish war
The chief incident of the day was a de-
fense Of the War Department against the
charge Of reckless extravaganza in the
hitting up of the transport Sumner made
by Representative briggs, of New York.
Wednesday. Representative Parker. Of
New Jersey, produced the itemized ex-
penses furnished by the War Department
to show that there had been no extraya-
gance.
A provision Of the bill providing for
nine clerks at 81 $50 each and nine clerks
at sl,6O each for department headauar-
ters and at headquarters of the army was
stricken out on point of order, as new
legislation. The existing law was adopted
which provides 100 clerks at LOCO each.
The provision, stricken out, authorized
eighty-twO clerks at s., 900 each 1t VIII
be seen that the new arrangement would
have effected an increased salary for eigh-
teen of the clerks. A similar plan that
would have increased the salaries of
eleven messengers at headquarters from
SI20 year to $40 year was also stricken
out.
Without opposition the House confirmed
Representative Boreing's title TO his seat

SOME MEN GROW ON TREES.
This Is the Belief of an Indian and
Some other Tribes.

The Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes in the
belief that there are trees that bring
forth human beings and others that
bear various portions of the human
body, and in the fourteenth century
an Italian traveller, on arriving at Nal
abar, was told by the natives that the
country abounded with tree that
bore men and women. The latter were
attached to the limbs by the neither eX-
trcmtieS and We're full formed when
the wind blew, but when the wind died
out they soon withered. These spcci-
mems of humanity reached the length
or height of three feet.
In the first book of the Mahadharata
mention is made of forms of dwarfs
that were to be found on a large fig
tree. The Arabs are still strong in the
belief that somewhere in the southern
ocean there is a tree that bears nut
that resembles the face of man and
when in its fullness the mouth opens
and gives voice to the cry: WAX!
Walk The Chinese reverse the order
of things and, instead of believing that
the trees give birth to men, claim that
in the beginning the herbs and grass
sprang from the hair of the human
family. They have preserved the ira
ditiOn too. that somewhere within the
borders of the beautiful F'lowery
Kingdom there is a wonderful lake by
whose margin grew trees whose leaves
developed into birds and also that, if
jar be broken on the waters, birds Of
the most brilliant plumage will at once
arise from the pieces and fly off.
In central India there is a tribe call
ed Khattics that claim to have their
origin from a stick of wood. When
the five SONS of Pandu, the heroes
whose exploits are told in the Mahad-
harata, had become simple tenders of
sheep, karna, their illcgitimate broth
err, wishing to deprive them of their
last resource, prayed to be gods to as
sist him. He struck the earth with his
staff, which opened, and from it sprang
a man who was called khat. meaning
begottcn of wood, and by this name
have his descendants ever since been
known st. Louis Republic.

According to the science column Of
a German weekly paper, the hens Of
China lead busy lives When not en-
gagged in Matching out n brood of their
own kind they are put to the addi-
tional and novel task of Matching fish
eggs. Chinese cheap labor collects the
spawn of fish from the waters edge,
puts it in an empty eggshell, which is
then Theoretically sealed with wax and
placed under the unSuspccting and con-
scentious hen. In few days the egg
shell is removed, and the spawn which
has been warmed into life is cmptied
into shallow pool Here the fish that
soon develop are nursed until strong

The Duke of Wellington once dcclar-
ed that there was nothing so stupid as
gallant officer and correspondent
of the London Times complains that
while the British officers are as brave
as brave can be they are mostly stu
pid." This charge is not brought
against the British navy In cXplana-
ton of it Navy and Army Illustrated
says: when an army officer is careless
or stupid in handling his men, he rare
ly Kills anybody. 1t is otherwise with
naval officer If he is careless or stu
pid, he will in all probability not only
come to dismal grief himself, but will
bring it on others. Therefore there is
a perpetual stimulus to efficiency in the
case of naval officer, and his superb
ors have powerful motive to be sharp
with him. An easy going colonel or
general may tolerate Shams in field
days and mancuvcrS, but the admiral
or captain who wants to sleep with
some confidence that he will not be
walked by collision or stranding
cannot make light of neglect on the
part of the officer of the watch.-Army

The gigantic mass of Jupiter has .
much larger warmth than that of the
earth. 1t is the result of the molecular
movement produced by the compress
sion of the strata and must be greater
the more powerful the masses, and
hence the larger the pressure of the
strata is. Jupiter surpasscs the earth
in point of mass 307 times, and for this
reason the inner temperature or midi
vdual warmth of the planet is broba-
bly, high enough to evaporate the water
upon the surface quickly, so that water
vapor forms the principal substance Of
the atmosphere of Jupiter. Water va
pOr is an excellent reflector and readily
accounts for the bright radiation of
light emitted by the planet.-Professor
Hughes in Chicago Tribune.
