EVEN ECE

Even little Greece is talking about bigger army. The Greek prime minis ter, M.Theotokis, unfolded the govern ernment scheme for the reorganization of the army, in the Greek Chamber, the other day. It was proposed, he said, by the suppression of various exemp- tions from military service, to raise the annual number of recruits from S. 600 to 13,600. On the other hand, the period of service will be reduced from two years to eighteen months. Grand annual manoeuvres will be held, in which the conscripts of two years, numbering 27.200 men. will take part. The increased expenditure of the min ister of war will be devoted to these projects, 5o0,O0O drachmae being allot- ted to manoeuvres. Moreover, a spe- cial army fund will be created, to which 4,500,00O drachmae will be allotted an7, nually to cover a loan of 40,000000 drachmae for the purpose of military material. If the nation wished for an army, he said, it must be willing to pay for it, and submit to new taxation. If not, it must remain wholly at the mercy of the great Powers. The suggestion of an increase in taxation has provoked the wrath of the Opposition papers, which say. not without reason, that the right way to get money for the army is not by taxation. but by wholesale reduction of the unnecessary expenses of the civil administration, and espe- cially by the wholesale abolition of sinecures.
 Of course Greece will have to have a bigger army. if she is going to be in the fashion, but probably it wont be paid for by the abolition of sinecures.

ANoTHER BIC FfRE.

It never rains but it pours, and there is theory that accidents. disasters. etc. go by threes. This theory will re- ceive some support in the big fire which happened at Rochester yesterday. and If another big one should happen the theory would be much strengthened. The fire in Rochester was not a mark CT" to the Baltimore fire, but it was big enough for all concerned. including the insurance companies which have just been called on to pay. pay, pay in Bal timore.
 It is to be hoped that the fire yester- day will not be succeeded by another big one, even if the three theory does have to suffer, and that we shall now have long rest. So far this has been very disastrous year in the matter of losses by fire, and if things are going to burn the rest of the year as they have so far there is no telling what will hap pen. Probably they wont. But don't brag too much about New Haven's ex- cellent fire department. Be careful, and then be more careful.

been walked over a dozen times in the search. Still more curious was <ne case of another woodcock dropped just over the brow of hill, quite dead, as it af- terward proved, on a very open bit of heath, with no cover more than fifteen inches high, what there was being short heather, grass, dead leaves and brack- en. Eight people walked up and down over this for a quarter of an hour be- fore the bird was picked up, neither men nor dogs being able to discover it. The failure of the dogs was due to the bird having fallen near some scent-re- pellinb matter. But the invisibility of the dead bird was little short oaf a nat ural miracle.
 seen this season than of late years, the birds from over the sea are greatly less in numbers than formerly. As the main headauarters of our birds are probably the forests of Norway and Sweden, the cause must mbe sought there. It is believed to be the in creased shooting of woodcock in the spring by peasants. who now obtain cheap guns easily, in the northern for ests. When the woodcock have re- turned there, they take regular flights every evening to their feeding grounds, and are waylaid when 'roading" and shot, just in the nesting season. It is on record that in one year more than seventeen hundred woodcock were shot in the spring in this unfair way on a great German estate, and if this kind of

AN oMTNoUs sITU4TfON.

Unless the United States can do for the Panama canal region what it did for Cuba there will be trouble enough while the canal is being finished. A surgeon of the Marine hospital service
 who has been studying the situation finds that in Panama natural conditions
 are just right for the propagation of all
 kinds of diseases, and the natives make little or no effort to combat them. The buildings of the old section of the town
 are constructed largely of porous stone, with thick walls which are always newer or outside part of the town the majority Of the buildings are wooden
 shocks. None of these houses are con-
 nected with sewers, consequently the
 surroundings are extremely filthy and of Panama, in the villages along the line of the Panama railroad to Colon, and in
 
 two known cases in Panama city. There is a collection of shacks known as where lepers may go if they choose to and be supported by charity, but as they are not compelled to be isolated, cases can be found in nearly every part of the city. Beri-beri is common ill the
 Republic Of Panama, reports the sur |sgeon, especially since 1897, when it was epidemic. Not only Chinamen and negroes are affected, but some white men who have lived under better con- ditions than are usually associated with this disease. The sewer system of Pan- anna is primitive, and deficient. During
 the dry season. when no water can be obtained for flushing, the drains are
 practically filled with stagnant mass.
 Even the newer houses are not provided
 with proper drains. No water system
 whatever exists. Rainwater from the
 rooss during the rainy season gives an
 abundant supply to those that have
 adequate tanks. Carts deliver water to
 the citizens and are cleaned once a
 month with chloride of lime solution.
 During the dry season water sells at
 one cent per gallon, so that poor peo-
 pie are extremely economical in it's use,
 and baths become a luxury that only
 the wealthy can afford,
 Probably better care will be taken of
 the canal laborers than was done under
 the French management, but there will
 at best be much sickness and many
 deaths. And it is not consoling to re-
 member that human life is one of the
 cheapest things in the market

ENGLISH WOODCOCK SHOOTING.
 The chosen woodcocks' home, in which the writer had the pleasure of seeing them just before the beginning of the New Year, lies on high hills over- looking the North sea. Broken by deep dividing glens. clefts and depressions worn in the edges of the plateau, these hills show every kind of woodland and natural cover, from what would seem in places to be a remnant of ancient self-sown forest to deep heather, once cut for fuel by the villagers. The rounded knolls of open heath are cov- cred with short heather or h-aeken. Their windy summits are set with curly branched oaks or twisted fir; while fur ther back are extensive woods of every kind of timber, from young larch to tall and stately pines. Down each vista in the woods, and crossing the dip of every deep little valley or glen, the sea lies cleaning far to north and east, dotted with the sails of the fishing boats on their morning voyage to the whelk grounds.
 When the woodcock cross over the sea there come with them the woodcock owls. As these are never shot on the estate, they remain there in numbers, usually keeping together in some favor ite spot. On the occasion of the wri- ters visit the owls were all on the side of rounded hill in the short heather near the summit. Bird after bird rose silently as shadow. Tapping it's long wings, and slowly climbed upwards in circles to height of some forty feet, until no less than nine were in the air, floating round above the heads of the beaters. Their ascent and poise were so silent, apparently so devoid of will, and so fortuitous, that they seemed like soap bubbles casually detached and floating upwards from pipe. The flight of the owls was still in progress when the first woodcock sprang up on the open heath, flying with great speed and purpose to the woods. Three more

 rose also in the open. and two were shot, before favo-ite cover was care fully beaten with every hope of success. The woodcock, which have a great choice of ground to spend the day on, prefer plantation of young lareh about ten feet high, and if there is strip Of this in wood of larger growth, IL IS almost certain to contain the birds. By standing forward. in a green ride with deep wood of pines behind it. it was possible to see something of the movements and flight of the woodeock, Ias well ss to shoot them. Almost as the cover was entered by the beaters the noisy rise of one or two cock pheasants. followed by shots, warned the woodcock that something unusual was happening, and two were instantly on the wing. One flew not more than four feet from the ground. straight down between the lines Of tree trunks, and then pitched on the ground, folded its wings, and ran across to the cover of some briars. The other topped the trees, came onwards to the ride and then twisted like flash at right angles in the unsuccessful en- deavor to avoid the gun in from. The sight of the woodcock and it's command Of wing are remarkable In this small cover two other cock managed so to steer their flight as scarcely to offer chance to the guns. though four were lshot, after beating it twice over to se- cure a second chance at those which had doubled back. During the day some thirty woodcoek were seen and nineteen shot. and these birds were found in such different surroundings as heaths pine woods, larch woods, brack- ell, rhododendrons, and even a village allotment, the other game on the ground being pheasants, cartridges and hares No doubt the large extent of the woods and heaths, and the absence of cultiva- 1 ted ground within their limits, were fa- vorable to the habits of these quiet-lov- ing birds: but even there they are To- cal, the woodcock ground par excellence being separated by valley from covers apparently equally good, but less fa- vored by them.
 There can be little doubt that the diff ficulty of shooting woodcock is due, not only to their speed and power of twist ing when in full flight but also to the silence with which they appear on the wing. In rising cock sometimes makes some commotion. But more of ten he is up and off without sound, like feathered ghost. There is no oth- CT bird os it's speed of flight which could pass within few yards of per- son looking in another direction without attracting attention by the sound of it's wings. Its mimicry of it's surroundings is practically perfect. On the day re- ferred to cock fell dead in some short bracken on line well and ( orreetly marked. Five or six pairs of very prac- tised eyes searched for the bird for at least eight minutes before it was picked up. Highly trained retrievers were \ equally at fault with their noses, but that, as was proved later was because there was little or no scent on the day in question. At last it was picked up by a boy, on ground which must have
