GEN. YOUNG IN COMMAND.
Gen. Miles Gives Farewell Reception
BY Qfficers,


At 10 o'clock Saturday Lieutenant
General Young issued an order, in ac-
cordance with the order of the presi-
dent, assuming command of the army
of the United States. Previously Gen
eral Young had taken the oath of Of
flee in the war department. At 10:30,
under an order issued by Adjutant
General Corbin, the officers of the
army in Washington, including also
those at Fort Myer, Va, assembled
at the army headquarters and paid
their respects to the retiring lieuten-
ant general, General Nelson A. Miles.
General Miles arrived in an undress
coat with no emblems showing his
rank, but with the coat of arms on
his shoulders, such as is now pre-
scribed to be worn by all officers.
General Young appeared with the
three stars of the rank Of lieutenant
general, although he did not actually
become lieutenant general until noon.
The officers were presented to General
Miles by General Corbin, and also
were presented to General Young.
General Miles has left for San Fran
cisco to attend the annual encampment
of the G. A. r. The clerks in the Of
flee of General Miles presented him
with a handsome silver loving cup and
a large vase of flowers.

Confetti Cost an Eye.

Portland Ore, Aug. 1S.-Entire loss
of the sight of one eye comes to Mrs
Joseph Weiss because she asked a
burly brute at the Woodmen's carnival
not to throw confetti in her face. She
was struck in the eye by a mans
fist, upon one finger Of which was a
heavy ring.

Cooling Office Buildings.
From the indianapolis Journal.

From the indianapolis Journal.
1t Is remarkable that such an easy en-
cheering proposition AS the cooling Of
office buildings and one so conducive to
comfort is not in more general use. With
residence the task IS not such an easy
one. for it requires a pump. and this. In
turn. requires power tos operate 1t and the
services of an attendant ;iIbut the office
building has it's engineer in, summer as well
as winter to look after the various ma
chinery now used to furnish conveniences
that have come to be regarded as ordinary
and the additional comfort of an even and
cool temperature could be had at very lit
tie cost over the original installation of
pump so connected with the piping system
that cold water could be forced through
the same pipes and radiators that furnish
heat in winter.
The windows and doors are kept closed
and ventilation had by the same means
that are used in winter. The circulation of
water at about IS or 20 degrees will keep
the building at a temperature of 70 to rs
degrees, no matter what the temperature
outside may be. 1t Is entirely unnecessary
to have an artificially low temperature for
the water, and, indeed such a temperature.
or the use of ammonia or brine would pre-
sent difficulties in the way of condensa-
ton. increased humidity of the atmosphere
and cOrrosion of the pipes. City hydrant
water or we'll water Is amply cool enough
for the purpose. Sooner or later some Office
buildings in indianapolis will install such a
system. and the others will follow quickly
enough, in order to hold their tenants.

Now the black SCALE which threatened
the olive trees of southern California has
been checked in its ravages by another
small beetle. It Is hoped that the natural
enemy Of the San Jose scale may be

ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY,
Incorrect Ideas Regarding the Effect
of Confinement

ut is hard to understand how wild ami
mails can build up and be happy in the
narrow quarters of q cage" said one of
the attendants at the Zoo to a Star man.
THE unknowihg person will tell you that
this cannot be, but that animals born In
wild state must pine away when their
liberty Is taken away from them. This
idea looks good and sentimentally Is all
right. but somehow the facts at hand do
not bear out this theory Instead Of get
ting thin and dangerously cranky the wild
creatures round out and their nature grows
gentle. No doubt the good treatment they
receive has much to do with this. 1t must
be something to them to be sure Of ample
food every day and some place to lie down
without fear of the enemy. Unable to run
at large and living daily life, with no
exciting change, one would think they
might become morose and unlovable. If
not insane. They adapt themselves to the
ways and means of amusing themselves.
Every one knows that elephants are
more or less froicsome. big as they are.
and pick out lot Of fun with each other.
The cat tribe is a greedy lot and will
fight among themselves at feeding time,
but after the meal is over they mingle
with good humor and seldom bear grudges.
These animals are given a neckpice of
beef that contains a bone and the animals
are obliged to tear the meat off slowly
and in small pieces. They are forced to
chew 1t and in consequence there is not a
case of dyspepsia among them. When they
have finished with the bone it has shine

and means for mischief, as well as
entertainment They are past masters
In the art OF stealing. and are as
restless as the waves of the sea. If there
are any great shakes of good In physical
culture, monkeys. because of their tireless
exercising, ought to have the contours and
strength Of perfect animals. Somehow or
other this does not follow. Their arms
do not get bigger. nor do their legs,
and the deep breathing exercise does not
seem to make any difference to their lungs.
They are almost as sensitive as a flower
and wither In draughts as easily. But they
take cheerful view of life and cut all
kinds OF didos from morning until night
Their lives they try to make one round of

SOMALILAND.
Difficulties Which the British Troops
Have to Encounter.

From the London Spectator.
Our difficulties in Somaliland constitute a
most annoying piece of business Nobody
wants Somaliland or would give a SOW
ereign for it in fee-simple; yet here we are
lodged to a petty war which may cost
millions in money and hundreds of good
English and Sikh lives. with nothing to
gain and a liability to be compelled to an
mex another desert province which can
never pay expenses. or police itself, or be
free from the risk of dangerous and costly
surprises. The thing began in a natural
way enough. When we took Alden and
made 1t an important post the place
which we once heard described as "a bit
of the floor of the internal regions tarown
up to show US what they looked like-pro-
duced nothing whatever. either to eat or
drink. In our people. however obstinacy
develops resource. The water difficulty,
which for a moment seemed insuperable,
was overcome by distillation. and the food
difficulty by buying supplies from the coast
tribes Of the opposite SomaN country. to
whom British appetites appeared source
Of wealth untold. Alden was proytsioned
sufficiently, and as we were much obliged
