VEGETATION THAT WILL LAST
Scientists See Long Future Before
Forests Of South America,

According to some astronomers the
greenish patches on the planet Mars
indicate woodland regions and the
traveller Wartegg predicts that centur-
les after the rest of this earth has be-
come as barren as the mountains of
the moon Marian astronomers will
still distinguish here brought green
spots Of considerable extent near the
east coast Of South America. The for.
ests of the Amazon valley, he thinks.
are practically determination proof.
An average of 1000 rank trees, shrubs
and creepers cover every acre of
ground and years neglect is enough
to obliterate all traces of the most
thorough clearing. A film of spon-
taneous vegetation soon covers the de.
serted field. trees shoot up and the
sylvan deities resume their ancient

SALT FOR NEWBORN BABES.
Many Mothers Believe II Well to
Sprinkle the Infants


The remarkable custom of sailing
newborn babies is still practiced in
certain parts of Europe and Asia.
The method varies with the differing
nationalities of the people using it.
The Armenians of Russia cover the
entire skin of the infant with a very
fine salt. This is left on the baby for
three hours or more, and then washed
on with warm water. A mountain
tribe in Asia Minor is even more
merciless than the Armenians They
keep their newborn babies covered
with salt for twenty-fOur hours. The
modern Greeks sprinkle their babies
with salt; and even in some parts of
Germany salt is still used on a child
at birth. The mothers imagine that
this will give children health and
strength and keep evil spirits away
from them.

FRIDAY MORNING-=Io to IL

come general throughout the north that
this crude experimentation was seriously
jeopardizing all hope of a successful issue
of the war. This condition of affairs
prompted congress, though reluctantly it
seemed, to pass bill for the appoint
ment of acknowledgement to command
the armies of the United States"
The captain then went on to tell how
General Grant was appointed to the po-
sition and continued:
"His theory of action as later develop
ed, looked to the employment of the
maximum force against the armies of the
Confederates and to deliver series of
heavy and uninterrupted blows in the
style of what the Duke of Wellington
used to call hard pounding and what
General Grant had designated as 'contin-
uous hammering.' 1t was his idea to
make weight and numbers tell, for he
evidently must have had great faith in
weight and numbers. Like Napoleon he
believed that Providence had a shrewd
way of siding with the heaviest bat
talions."
Grants terse, clear, concise way of ex-
pressing himself was dwelt upon by the
captain, and among other illustrations
he quoted Grants message to Lincoln
sent in reply to one from the president
about the time the general became COM
mander of all the union armies, as fol-
lows: 'I have been astonished at the
readiness with which everything has been
yielded, without even an explanation be-
ing asked. Should my success be less
than I desire or expect, the least 1 can
say is, the fault is not with YOU"
The veterans indulged in considerable
talk over the memorable struggle at
Chickamauga. M. A. Hanna told how
he was wounded in the fight and escaped.

Confederates and his twenty months ex-
perience in rebel prisons, particularly at

Women's Relief corps. 1t was really a
literary session of war "reminiscences
DIR. E. j. Davis delivered the paper of
the evening, an eulogy of the military
achievements of General Grant. The
doctor, or rather the captain, as is more
appropriate to the occasion, dwelt prin-
cipally on the organization and equip
ment of the principal union armies in
the campaigns of 1864 He spoke more
in detail of the Army of the Potomac,
having been in the service with that
body and being therefore familiar with
its past history.
So little had been done in Virginia
during the first three years of the war
in the way of making any inroad on
the Confederates, because of the natural
lay of the land, the mountains furnishing
fortress after fortress behind which it
seemed as if the Confederates could pro-
long the struggle indefinitely
"For three years." the speaker said,
"there had existed the lamentable spec
tacle of three or four independent armies,
acting on various lines of operations, and
working not only with no unity of pur-
poses, but frequently at cross pur-
poses; while in the military councils of
Washington there ruled alternately an
uninstructed enthusiasm and purblind
pedantry.
