An American who had recently come
to Cuba was having a discussion with
a companion in a cafe concerning what

companion was insisting that a tama-

from the tamarind frult-was the best

SOLDIER DYED FOR HIS LOVE,

took no heed OF prohibition, though
had he been aware of the rod the dyer
had In pickle for him he might have
hesitated. The gay young militaire
came. then, to visit his sweetheart,
when the dyer, who was lying In am
bush, rushed on him, seized him by the
shoulders and pitched him headlong
into a dying vat. The wretched fellow
got out as best he could, but covered
from head to foot in a coating OF deep

but the lac was sound and declined to
part. The lieutenant went home, spent
hours In soaping himself, brushing
himself and getting himself scrubbed
up by the orderly. But all to no pur-
pose. The carmine did o pale. In
despair he swallowed his pride and ooh
counsel OF the author of his condition.
Il can advise no remedy" said the
dyer; that lac was invented by me, and

then went to the chemist. Although
the officer has not recovered his orig

"There had been a terrible fall Of snow

however, that was the real cause of
the excitement, but a peculiar article
OF baggage which the aged traveller had
with him. When the baggagemaster
came to look over the travelling equip
ment which Mr.. Simpkins unloaded
from a wagon and offered for transpor-
tation he was somewhat surprised to
see. In the midst Of %bandboxes and car
pet-bags, a coffin, with all the usual
funeral adornment. The coffin appa-
rently contained a body, for the sturdy

controversy had attracted the attention
OF the people who were waiting in the

Somebody asked the old man how II
happened that he used a coffin as his

these 4.463, 109 were bathers who used

In Africa there is a disease that at
lacks the natives, and that. although
not uncommon, is yet involved In mys-
terry. 1t has been the subject OF a good
deal OF profound study, but very little
has been discovered that throws any
satisfactory light on the subject. The
victims are usually men and boys be-
tween the ages Of twelve and twenty.
At first the patient is observed to be
l~istless. and takes little interest in
whatever is going on about him; then
he drops off into sleep, which may O n
tinue for a long time, with intervals
of entire or partial wakefulness. With
each recurring sleep the condition Is
more marked and the period increases.
This state of things may last for sev-
eral months. There seems to be little
II any desire for food, and, after a
time, the body and face appear to
shrink and become wrinkled; then
there Is great emaciation and atrophy.
Sometimes the disease u n twelve
months, but usually not more than
four or six. At the last the patients
mind may become perfectly clear and
all symptoms of the disease leave him,
so far as the mind Is concerned. This
Is one OF the peCuliarities OF this mall
ady, and is wholly u~naccounted for.

warriors of the Scotch highlands, re-
allied the Importance of signal fires In
wartime and made use of a code OF
fire flashes; but 1t was not until 1922
that Col. Colby, of the British royal
engineers, devised a more adequate
system for transmitting messages by
sun flashes. His method Of doing this
was by mailing a certain number OF
pieces OF bright tin on poles and ex-
posing them to the suns rays. Some
time later this was improved on by
the adoption of a plain mirror. In 1889
an English officer at Gibraltar used an
ordinary lookingglass to reflect fiashes
across the strait to Tangier, thereby
carrying on a long-distance conversa-
ton with other English officers in At
rica.
This mirror system was experiment
ed with and improved upon until the
year 1878. when the United States gov
eminent purchased the latest models
and began the instruction OF a special
signal corps In photography. The mill
tary value OF such sun writing was
we'll known when, In 1886, Gen. Miles
began his Indian campaign against
Geronimo. II the truth were only
known, 1t was the heliograph more
than anything else that led to the
rounding up and capture Of the IA
nous blood-drinking red man. One
can imagine the surprise Of the lndi-
ans when they found that they could
not move without the fact being
known to the Americans and the
movement mysteriously anticipated.
Signal parties. in fact, were flashing
hourly information from mountain
peak to mountain peak, and the In
dian warriors headquarters were al
ways known at Miles camp. Through
the use Of the h%eliograph Geronimo
was kept away from water by rapidly
stationed and mobile bands OF troops
and was finally really parched into
submission.
The English army had already been
making use OF the h~eliograph In At
ghanistan, and during the o war
Of twenty years ago made effective
use of the Nance photographic appa-
ratus. The great service this means
Of communication has been to the diff
ferent British commanders besieged
by the Beers In the present South AZ
rican war Is very we'll known.
The field photographic apparatus, as
used today, consists of a sole leather
pouch containing a sur mirror and a
station mirror, a small screen or shut
ter, a sighting rod and two small tri-
pod stands for the mirrors. The entire
apparatus does not weigh over ten
pounds and can easily be carried over
the arm. When II Is desired to send
a message the sun mirror is placed on
one end of a thin rod three feet in
length with the station mirror at the
other end, the bar being held by the
tripod. When the sun is in front OF
the operator-that is to say, in front
Of a plane through his position and
at right angles TO the lines Joining
the stations-the sun mirror is re-
CURED for dlspatching. But with the
sun in the ear of this plane both mir
rors must be used to produce satisfac-
tory results.
When the sun mirror only Is used
the light flash Is sent directly TO the
receiving station, the mirror having
a small hole in its center like the hole
