siberian River. Well Lighted.

One of the most remarkable features
of the Russian navigation of Siberian
rivers consists in the thorough way in
which each verst OF the nayigable 5000
or more is lghtened. There is always
a lamppost In sight, and these are paint
ed white or red, so as to be easily dis
cernibe during the day. This must ne
cessitate the employment of at least
1000 lightkeepers, who also patrol and
sound the rivers depth within their re-
spective beats. Each isolated wood pile
must also have its guardians, who live
near by in log hut or two.-New York

Washington, November 29.-The House
committee on military Affairs tonight
made public letter received from Secre-
tary Root under date of the 18th inst,
transmitting a draft OF bill prepared by
the war department for the reorganiza-
tion of the army. The. letter says that
the army, as at present organized under
the present law will cease to exist on
July l, 1901 and thereafter will con sist OF
a total enlisted strength OF 29,O25 men.
Without further legisl alton, he says. the
volunteers now in service must be dis
charged July /, 1901 and the regular
army reduced from 5000 to 29,025 men.
The letter goes on to say that the
strength must prove utterly inadequate
and that 1t is presumed Congress will
provide for all the necessities of defense
an d otfense.
The bill, therefore, says Secretary Root,
provides for a minimum and maximum
organization as follow S:

An officer named Vinton was celebrated
in his garrison for winning every bet.
None Of his comrades could boast of ever
having been successful, and at last no one
cared to bet with him. One day Vinton

the fame of his peculiar luck had already

The colonel at once proceeded to divest

shouted the colonel, resuming his gar

When the colonel reached his quarters
