CHEF ENGINEERS REPORT.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Gen. G. L. Gillespie, chief
of engineers Of the United States
army, for the year 1902 was made
public yesterday. The report says
the duties devolving on the corps are
heavier than ever before in its his
tory. Complaint is made that under
the reorganization act of February,
1901, the rate Of promotion for Off
GERS hereafter joining the corps is
made slower than it was before and
a return to the old system is urged.
With reference to the work OF the
corps in the Philippines the follow
ing statement is made:
"The whole official force OF the en-
tire department of engineering, Off
GERS, enlisted and civilian employees,
has been fully occupied throughout
the year, working full daily hours,
the anne as in the United States,
and has accomplished in the given
time far more than was ever done
under the former government. The
department is still handicapped, how
ever, by lack Of sufficient officers
and men to answer the numerous and
various calls made upon it by the
military and insular authorities"
The report contains a complete re-
sumo Of the river and harbor i'm
provements for the year, but owing
to the fact that no river and harbor
bill will be passed by congress at It's
next session nc estimates are made
for special improvement projects.

TRAVELLERS TRADE SHOES
IN A SLEEPING CAR

Of the many mistakes that arise in
sleeping cars, one of the most unusual
came to light the other day on one of
the roads running into the city. The To-
cal agent of the line received a letter
setting forth the facts and asked that
steps at once be taken to straighten
matters out.
1t seems that Il minister of the Cos
pei arrived in Rock Island one morn
ing early in the week, travelling in a
sleeper. In his hurry to dress in
time to leave the train here, he pu:'
on fellow passengers shoes and
wore them away without noticing
his mistake. The other party, how
ever. was not so preoccupied when he
came to dress. The trade did not
please him and he set the investiga-
ton on foot. At last accounts the
gentleman of the cloth had not
shown up to set matters right. and
the presumption is that he had not
discovered his error.

Cheese as Food.

"Pcople should know and value bet
ter cheese as food" said a physician
the other day in discussing the diet
question. ut is true that freshly made
domestic cheese is hard to digest, but
nothing is so easily digested as any
of the imported cheeses and nothing
is more nutritious. Weight for weight
Roquefort, Brie, Camembert and Swiss
chooses are more nutritious than the
best beef or steak. They are more
easily digested. and they give the same
sort of nourishment that is derived
from fresh meat, so that in the time or
a meat famine the well cured and well
aged imported cheeses are the best sub
stitute that casn be found for beef, and,
as consumed, the best of cheese is
cheaper a twenty-five cent Brie
cheese, for instance, will feed more
persons and nourish them better than Il
dollars worth of beef. Two ounces of
these cheeses have the same food value
as Il pound of the best prime beef"

MAN-O'-WAR HAWKS.
Fo1thc-cd HiShvaymen That Do
Their Fishing In the Air.

Their Fishing In the Air.
The man-Owar hawk is somewhat
large bird and an expert fisher. but he
does most of his fishing in the air.
When the BOBBY bird comes home from
abroad. he finds the man-o' war hawk
''Iayin' for him." and, however persist
emily he may seek to escape by dashinE
flight, with much Screeching and
screaming. he finds that before he can
safely set foot on the land he must dis
gorge IL fish or two. which the swift
pursuer adroitly catches in the air. 1t
seems, however, to be generally I'M
derstood us modus vivendi between
the fisher and the pirate birds that
their contentious were only on the
wing and that once on land they
should dwell peacefully in their sepa-
rate camping grounds.
The boobies are awkward and I'M
wieldy on land and may be easily cap
turcd. They rarely seek to escape when
i man approaches; but, accustomed to
meet the demands of their familiar ell
envy, the Inan-o'-war hawk. by disGorg-
ing Il fish in the air, they frequently re-
sort to the same process and lay at the
feet of the intruding stranger what
stock of fish they have available. The
man-o'-war hawks turned this practice
to their own advantage by following
after any man who might appear
among the nesting birds. circling in the
air just overhead, ready to pick up the
fish which the frightened boobies
might give up as Il peace offering. The
man-o-war hawks We're generally ca
ger for anything and would hover
closely, ready to take from the hand of
Il man whatever he might toss in the
air. On one occasion one Of these birds
