books of State Treasurer j. j. Kempf

1t transpires that the basis of the story
was the fact that the books kept by a
deposit clerk contained many errors
which had the effect Of showing short
age Of s3,40O. The thing which gave sen

memorandum furnished the chief Of staff
contains the recommendation that next
year the inspector general detail officers
for the inspection work in time to permit
a review of the reports as soon after
June 1 as practicable, so that the best
six institutions may be announced pre-
vious to the close Of the school year. 1t
appears from the memorandum that only
fifty Of the colleges which accept govern
ment aid fully complied with the require
ments Of the department Twenty
colleges had no target practice and TWEEN
ty-two had less than 100 students in the
military department, as required by the
regulations. Letters have been sent to
the schools asking why there is this de-
ficiency and asking what prospect there
| is of having the required number the
ensuing year. It is also suggested that
army officers on duty at colleges report
hereafter the extent of all failures to full

expected that next year there will be a
notable improvement in the military de-

the theory that newly enlisted men dis

when they get regular assignments to

where there are neighboring opportuni-
ties for dissipation, which Is taken as
another argument in favor of the re-
establishment Of the canteen at army

of the canteen say that pretty much
everything connected with assertions,

There was wa never a night so dreary and
That the stars were not somewhere

There is never waiting-time, weary and

The sunshine and shadows are blending.

But Heaven sends the sunshine Of love:
Through the riffs in the clouds we may

And the darkness be gathering fast:
For the turn in the road is little way

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION.

Comparisons That Give an Idea Of Its
Magnitude.
To realize the magnitude of the
production of iron aid steel in this
country during one year, one has to
employ much larger standards of CON-
parison than pounds and tons. For
instance blast furnace large enough
to receive at one charge all the metal
that passes through all the blast fur
naces of the country in one year
would have to be built to contain
1000, 100000 cubic feet. Or to. use
the slightly more conceivable compar-
ison, it would have to be twenty-four
times as large as the great pyramid of
Cheops. The coke used in the process
of manufacture would, if piled I'D in
a column 400 feet square, reach $500
feet up into the skies, and the iron
ore from which all the products are
made, would, if piled up in column
one-fourth of the bulk of that coke.
reach just as high as the former
some 34,636,121 tons. If all the car
rails were rolled into one huge rail.
tho dimension would be 1 is miles
long, 81 feet high, 81 feet across the
base, and 43 feet across at the ton
being wide enough to accommodate
locomotive and it's tender. One huge
wire nail containing the metal an.
nually drawn. into such a form would
make column 1000 feet high and 81
feet square, overlapping the renowned
E1ffel Tower at Paris. The cut nails
would reach to the heights of the
Washington monument, and would far
overtop the Park Row building, the
highest in the world.
