Rats as Swimmers.

In Germany a close study is being
made Of the manner in which vari-
GUS animals swim, and pictures have
been made to show how the water
rat swims both when he is at his
ease and when an enemy is pursuing
him. While he is looking for prey,
and scents no danger, this why little
animal goes through the water leis-
urely, but the moment he sees or
hears an enemy, he changes his at
titude and darts away, breasting the
water at a great rate. Moreover, it
is a singular fact that not only water
rats, but all other rats and mice
which live near the water, are splen.
did swimmers, and, thanks to their
skin, are frequently enabled to es-
cape from their enemies -Cincin-

A DEpRAvED BAsY.
1t Sleeps for Mother, But Stays Awake
to Entertain Father.

to Entertain Father.
A hAA father says that nowhere is
there to be found as well developed a
brand Of natural ~deprsyity as that
which Animates a si1-months-old in
FAINT, and he tells this story in con
hrnation Of his opinion.
The other evening he was left alone
With hs tiny ION and heir. The
youngsters mother went to the the
alter. His aunt went out also, and so
did his nurse, and the man was left
in full possession. Of the field.
About seven o'clock, with sublime
disregard for modern rules, whichsa say
babes must be put unon a bed and
left to go to sleep by themselves, the
father began to rock his child to
sleep. And he rocked and crooned
and walked steadily from that time
until nine.
Then, the lnfanthavlng hnally sue
cumbed to '"nature's sweet restorer,"
he arose, and as if walking on eggs,
carried his burden ~stealthily to the
bedroom, put it down as gently as
possible, and withdrew. Alasl how
ever, in closing the door it squeaked
a bit, and Mr.. Baby was as wide awake
as ever, and he remained as chirpy as
a 17-year locust until his mother
/, came home at II.
Next evening-and here's where
the %depravity comes m-mother was
} home, and aunty and all the rest Of
: the family; SO Mr.. Baby went off t
sleep at six o'clock, as usual. A
8 eight he fell out Of bed with a dull
2 thud that went to the maternal hear
: like 4 dagger. But he didn't evel
: stir. His fond parents picked hin
: up and carried him to the light, fear
t ing all sorts Of things, and then, am
t not until then, did the youngste
open his eyes and smile a cherubi
snile into the anxious faces bendin
over him. Then he went off to slee.
again, none the worse for the ace
dent.

man, "why viii a baby who is arouse

ADDITION TO TRAINS.
"The Meteor and "The Worlds FAN
Special" to the Frisco System.

The route OF this flyer is via our cid
line, through the Ozarks and Indian Ter
ritory to Sapula, thence over the Red
River Division through the historic Creek
Chickasaw Nations, via Denison aad
Sherman, to Fort Worth and poinSs
Southwest thereof; and via Sherman and
the Houston & Texas Central Rail-
road to Dallas and Beyond. The mere
newly-constructed portion OF the roadbsd
traversed has been heavily ballasted with
rock, laid with heavy rail, and In esery
way brought fully up to the standard Of
other divisions OF the Frisco System.
The train will be made up OF entirely new
equipment throughout, carrying Palace
Day Coaches, Reclining Chair Cars, Pull
man Drawing Room Sleepers and
CAFE OBSERVATION CARS,
In which meals a la carte will be served
at hours convenient to thu traveller.
This service will be under the manage
ment OF Mr.. Fred. Harvey, whose panne
should be a sufficient guarantee Of careful
attention to the inner mao. Just a word
about these care: The dining room is To-
GATED in the forward end. The rear psr-
ton OF this car is occupied by an obssr-
walton saloon, and is provided with easy
chairs, writing desks and stationery, aAd
a library service embracing the leadisg
daily papers and the more popular weekly
periodicals. The train will be lighted
by electricity, aud cooled by electric fans
during the summer months.
TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
The Inauguration Of service Of
this character means quite as much to
its patrons as it does to the railway com
pany Interested. If we we're not sanguise
OF the success Of this train, it goes with
out saying that it would never have been
established. 1t fills a long-felt want aud
opens a new and fast developing country.
But we feel that these are not the oniv
factors that may reasonably be expectto
contribute to It's success-the time 10 fast
the train is a "handy" one, as regard;
hours Of arrival at aud departure frou
terminl; aud the equipment is ornate, ant
provided With all modern conveniences
These features should, OF themselves,
tend to make the train popular.
We also take pleasure in annourctng
material improvements In a service VIA

GRAY BECOMES BLACK.
With Color Of Military Unt.
forms at Varying Distances.

Experiments With Color Of Military Uni-
forms at Varying Distances.
The uniform beard, which is pAs-
pairing for a general scheme Of revi-
sion of the uniforms Of the various
branches Of the United States NH
tary service, is conducting an inter-
esting set Of practical experiments
to determine the best color to be
adopted for the clothing Of the army
in the field. The attention Of the
board was drawn to the fact that
the British army had abandoned the
familiar khaki color in favor of a
neutral gray tint, retaining the tex
ture Of the khaki, and a number of
samples Of the cloth have been Sc
cured for test. These have been con-
trasted with no less than four diff
ferent hueS Of khaki manufactured
in the United States, and eight men,
each dressed in different hue, and
placed side by side on the green
sward Of the mall at the foot Of Sew
enteenth street have been for several
days passing under the inspection OF
officers detailed by the board.
Tho officers who are gunplied with
field glasses, says the Washington
Star, began their inspection at the
corner Of Seventeenth and ! streets,
a measured distance Of LOO yards
FROM the variegated squad Of pri-
Yates at the foot Of the street on the
mall, and at each 100 yards careful
observations are taken to ascertain
which Of the uniforms is the least
visible, and consequently the safest
against sharpshooters. Up to the
present it has been demonstrated
that the khaki, in almost any shade
is vastly superior in point ofinyisiblr
ity to the neutral gray Of the Brit
ish army. This latter color wa
evolved as a result Of the Boer war
and it is possible that the color con
ditions Of the landscape in Soutl
Africa may be greatly different from
the bright green sward Of the mall
where these experiments are goinI
on, but it is quite certain that at
distance the neutral gray deepens il
color to almost a pronounced blacl
