sideration-practical questions which will
make It unnecessary for oficers to learn
their duties while experimenting upon men
in the field or in camp. It is expected
that the new system Of encampments Of
regulars and National Guards will give
the members of the general stan and the
officers OF the departments an opportunity
to become more familiar with conditions
and requirements of troops in camp and
field than any other plan that has been
in vogue in times OF peace.
Military Features Essential.
It is not alone with the nonmilitary fea-
lures that the new general stan will deal.
The stan has many more officers upon 1t
not connected with these departments than
are SO connected. Their questions will be.
after all, mainly military in the s~trictest
sense. Proposed changes in arms will be
considered; amendments to the drill regu-
lations and the manual Of arms; improve
ments In the methods OF handling troops
OF the different arms Of the service; any
thing which in any way affects the army
win be submitted to the onicers Of the
general staf for consideration.
The personnel OF the stan has been pub
lished and each member selected by the
board Of general officers and approved by
the secretary OF war is said by his fellow
ofhcers to be entirely qualified for the
work. The generals who are to take active
part In the stan have not at this time
been announced. II is understood that they
will be men who have comparatively long
terms Of service before them, SO that they
may be given an opportunity to test some
OF the plans which they have made II
required. But the whole object OF the
general stan is not really to prepare for
actual warfare, but to make the army and
its auxiliaries. the National guards, so
effective that war against the United States
will never be declared, and so superior
to any other that no nation will force this
country TO declare war.

The Chinese Language.

Chinese is an ideographic language.
1t conveys the idea and not the word
for thing, as the figure 8 represents
the idea and not the word. The Chi
nese have invented more than 10000
marks for their writing, but it requires
only about 1900 marks for mercantile
correspondence, and 1t is said to be
easier to learn them than the words Of
an ordinary foreign language. Russian
Is more difficult for Americans than
Chinese. 1t takes much longer to learn
the spoken language because of the va
riety Of dialects, but any one can learn
enough Of the writings to answer Or
