Our Duty to Cuba.

No one can justly accuse the PILOT
of being Cleveland worShipper. We
believe he did untold injury to the dem
ocratic party, both while he was preSi-
dent and since. But, like many other
mistaken democrats who are mainly
responsible for the fact that the repub-
lican party is now in power, and is be-
having IN many ways that shock the
common sense of moralityofthec common
people, he, like many others, now sees
the error into which he fell aud its sad
results 10 the country and to its good
name at home and abroad The follow
ing letter recently written by him we
nave no doubt expresses the heartfelt
sentiment of niue one-hundretbs of the
American people irrespective of party.
Very few are opposed to giving reel
procity to poor Cuba aside from the
few milliOnaireS, or multimillionareS
who are fattening upon high tariffs.
What will the republican congressman
and senators dos They will do what
the tobacco and Suger trusts demand;
see if they don't. Here is Mr. Cleve-
lands letter. 1t is not so long since the
republicans called him prophet.

The obligation arising from these
considerations cannot be better or more

only by calling out the recollections Of
soldiers that we can get the real color
and atmosphere of life in the old army.
Some time ago when the discussion
as to the manner of the shooting of
Col Dan McCook at Kenesaw was at
white heat, l met James r. Midcap
of the Twenty-second Indiana. He
had been talking about soldiers hav-
ing severe attacks of buck fever in
battle, and without any reference to
the controversy he said that he had a
severe attack of that kind the day
Col. Dan. McCook was shot.
Everybody asked in breath where
he was at that time, and he said
quietly that he was within reach of
Col. Dams coat-tail and saw the man
who fired the shot that struck the
colonel down. Up to that time, he
said, he had been greatly excited, but
when he saw the tall, thin rebel aim
directly at the colonel, the buck fever
left him, and he aimed carefully and
deliberately blazed away almost in
the face of the man who fired the fatal
shot at McCook. but an instant too
late to save McCook. In answer to
the questions Of the boys, he said no,
he did not know whether he killed the
fellow or not, apd he didn't care TO
know, but he was sure that he aimed

In a Tight Place.

At Peach Tree Creek, companies H
and X crossed the creek on foot log,
and made their way toward the timber
in front. Before we had gone far we
met a heavy column of rebels, and,
deploying as skirmishers, we fell back
on house with paling fence about
it. Corporal Coleman of Company H,
in trying to make his way through
the fence in front of the house, was
held for some minutes under the fire
of the enemy. He got his body
through all right, but his knapsack
caught in the palings, and in a way to
hold him fast He struck out with his
hands and feet like man swimming,
but in few minutes got a grip on
himself, coolly unbuckled the straps
of his knapsack, left it hanging in
the fence and rushed on with the
company to the house, where he did
good service, until we were REINFORCED
by a full brigade.-Chicago Inter

M. ]. Thoulet has investigated the
constitution of the ocean bed, and
finds that the more deeply it is pene-
trated the less the proportion of
slime and the less calcareous matter.
On the other hand, the proportion of
sand grains and pure clay increases
with depth. No regularity obtains in
the distribution of the non-calcareous
mineral grains. This normal distribu-
ton appears to be more pronounced

below the water, surface, but, in any
case, the variations due to ocean depth
are small. Even in the deepest water
the constitution of the bed shows
traces of the conditions prevailing
near the surface of the ocean above
the bed. The latter remark is Oh i'm.

Attempts have been made to meas
ure the light of the moonless night
sky. Mr. Gavin ]. Burns, an English
astronomer, has roughly estimated
that the total light of one hemisphere
equals that of 1000 first-magnitude
stars, and Professor Simon Newcomb
has-perhaps more ccurately-found
this total light to be equal to that of
90 to 80 first-magnitude stars. The
brightness seems to be not entirely
due to visible and invisible stars. The
zodiacal light and the gegenschein, a
midnight glow opposite the sun, have
been seen to extend across the heav-
ems, and it is suggested that these are

Civil War Coffee.


did you ever see the big quart tin
cups furnished to the army during the
civil WARP" asked a man in a group
who were talking about coffee. "Those
tin cups were the real article, the best
quality of heavy tin-almost as thlck
and durable as sheet iron.
81 still have the one l carried all
through the war; also my knife and
fork, tin platter and spoon. Money
couldn't buy them. Whenever look
at that tin cup it brings back a sound
which l have never heard anywhere
but in a soldiers camp. In the early
morning, when the men were getting
breakfast, this curious clatter rang all
through the camp; every soldier was
pounding his ration of coffee in his
big tin cup with the iron handle OF his
knife. The army couldn't carry coffee
grinders around with them, and pound
ing the coffee was the only way we
had of making it fine enough to ex-
tract it's essence by boiling. Some OF
us got so expert that you could hardly
have told our pounded coffee from cot
fee ground in a mill, but it took time
and patience.
my old tin cup is battered in the
bottom like a beaten brass plaque. I'd
like to show it to you. But with all
that banging and hard usage it never
sprang a leak. No. stree, Uncle Sans
tin cups were made for rough service,
and they stayed by us until the war
was over"

Creates Lite by ohemioal.,

The missing solution necessary to
complete the transformation of dead
matter into perfect living organism

D. Houghton. He affirms that he has
succeeded in producing an active pro-
toplasmic mass containing distinct
nucleus-like centers, which exhibited
ameboid movement. 1t assimilated
nutriment, it gave the reaction to
aniline dyes that organic cells do, it
had protoplasmic stomach, it showed
selective affinity and it even made
feeble attempts at perpetuation of it's
species. 1t split into four or five cells,
each like the mother cell. After half
an hour to three week. of activity the
cells became inert, but they had full

Dashboard is rigidly attached midway
between the windows, carrying on

The manner Of mounting the shield
makes it double-acting, and to turn it
to correspond with the direction of
the train the fitting board is lifted
sufficiently to clear the bolt at the
lower end from its slot in the TRAN
gular brace, when the board will
swing free in either direction. The
dirt-laden air. striking against this
shield is thrown off at an angle to the
car, and this action produces a suction
from the rear of each window to draw
the air from the interior, which allows
the entrance of fresh air through the
screened ventilators provided for the
purpose.
