Expected to Be Adopted by Congress.

The action of the General board OF
the United States army in making
Fort Sheridan the principal post IN the
United States will result In doubling
the capacity of the barracks and the

300, four troops, or one squadron, OF
cavalry, mum boring $50, and two bat
teries of artillery, numbering $50, IN
addition to the staff officers.
The barracks will be doubled IN Ca
pacity and the new brick houses IN
"officers' row. will make that street
twice as long as at present. Includ-
ing the new stables, the expenditure
will not be far from 100000.
Some time ago Major General FL
well S. Otis, commanding the Depart
ment of the Lakes, with other army
officers, including the Quartermdster
General, went over the grounds and
planned where the new buildings
should be located.
The Twenty ninth Infantry, which
has been recruited at Fort Sheridan
and Columbus barracks, will start for
the Philippines on Feb. 20, leaving
the post with two batteries of artillery.
The place of the Twenty-ninth Regi-
ment will be taken by the Twentieth,
which is on it's way back from the
Philippines, and should reach here
early in March.
Major General Otis will be retired Dy
the age limit on March Is. He said
yesterday that he had not formed any
plans.

A Carbon1ess Arc Light.

A new carbonless arc lamp recently
invented consists of an exhausted glass
globe in which, instead Of carbons kept
at the proper distance by complicated
regulator, are two L shaped aluminium
arms with platinum points kept at the
proper interval by simple clockwork.
The new lamp casts no shadow and is

THE CARS THAT PASS IN TIE NIGHT.

(Or Inc L.
@, cars that pass in the night:
0, ships of land we pray.
Then aren't thou weary when the day,
Has gone. o! yes. thou art right
'Tis always thine--the right of way.
Some unseen force my speech compels,
My utterance is weak.
But when my heavy rollers squeak,
And jingle jangle go thy bells,
Why even stones could speak.
But Of a sudden off they go,
One East-the other West,
rise and smite my weary breast
To think of sleepless woe
And heart that aches for rest.
Four.minutes past, my soul is dead
To all but heavenly slumber,
Another crash, those bells Outnumber,
The hairs upon my sleepy head
What few hairs my head cucumber.
And so life drags-an endless sigh,
a horrid, sleepless, noisy hell.
I sleep four minutes-then the bell,
OF It's lovely to live wht e the cars go by
The cars that past in the night-the 81.

A TREE ToAD's NEST.
Odd Homes of Mud Built by BRAZIL
ian Batrachians.


ian Batrachians.
The batrachians, including frogs,
toads, saIamanders, ETC., often ex-
hibit curious modes Of laying their
eggs and providing for the young. The
common mode, familiar to US, is the
depositing of the eggs in string of
nutritive jelly in ponds. Tritons roll
up an aquatic leaf like trumpet to
contain the eggs and nutriment and as
protection against fish. 4 species of
frog has the eggs affixed to it's posteri-
or legs until Matched. A salamander
of Ceylon and the North American
amphiuma dig a cavity in the soil near
water for a nest Another salaman-
der, the desmognathus, fixes the eggs to
the nape of it's neck like a bunch of
toy balloons. Another batrachian Sc

Night, Suffers Awful Con sequences.
James Todd, Of Chicago, who recent
1y wandered away from his home in
this city and spent the night in the
cold, has suffered awful consequences

left his home and strayed to the farm
of James NORM, in the town of Somers.
He was found in the early morning
having spent the entire night tramping

Bees as Peach Raisers.

At the Oregon station experimenters
forced a number of peach trees into
bloom under glass last November
and introduced a colony of bees into

that the bees could not get to it. From
that tree all the fruit dropped when
the stones began to form. From the
other no fruit dropped, and it was

TO SAVE HER LIFE.
Each of 200 Friends Will Con-
tribute Portions Of Skin.

New York, June 24-Two hundred EN-
ployes of the American Felt company
at Chenille, Conn, have volunteered
pieces Of their skin to save the life of
one of their fellow employees.
The victim is Mary Affeldt. 10 years
of age. a weaver. She had just arrived
at her loom and stopped down over her
threads" to oil some part of the ma
chine. when the loom started. She rails
ed her head and in an instant the hair
at her temple caught in the gear. Be
fore anyone could reach her she was
lying on the floor covered with blood.
The hair on her head had been pulled
off taking the scalp with it and part Of
one ear. Her condition is serious but
the doctors believe she can be saved by
migrating and the weavers have all
volunteered to furnish what is needed.
