new way of collecting old debts in the
army has developed in the department of
the east. to the commanding general OF
which there recently came the complaint
that certain commissioned officer was in
debted to regimental club in the sum OF
more than $50. There was much cor
respondence between General Grant and
the alleged offender. and finally the latter
was prevailed upon to promise payments
In installments at such minute percentage
that the discharge of the Indebtedness
would be accomplished only after the per-
iod of a year or more There seemed to
be nothing else than the acceptance of the
officers plan Of payment, and after the in
cident was thus closed the oficer had oc-
casion to make application for a leave of
absence. This appears to have been the
opportunity desired by General Grant, who
promptly wrote that inasmuch as the Of
ficer was not able to pay a long standing
acknowledged debt of 500 in a period less
than one year, it must deny the leave, pre-
sumably upon the ground that II would be
to the advantage of the Individual to per-
init him to save his income and pay his
bill. The denial OF the application for
leave Of absence was, OF course, duly re-
ceived by the officer most directly interested
and the recipient promptly sent to General
Grant a check covering the full amount
with a renewal of the application for
leave, which mu~t have been granted since
the principal obstacle, enduring as 1t
threatened to be, was so effectively re-
moved,

An important step I'm the Improvement
OF the system OF military ballooning has
been taken this last week by the chief sig
nal ofilcer OF the army by the approval
OF recommendations which have an in
terest In a commercial way quite as much
as from a service point OF view For
some time there have been in progress
in the signal corps tests and investlga-
lions into the means OF obtaining in this
country the hydrogen required in the in
fiation OF the balloon The inquiry has re-
suited in the discovery OF a process which
will enable the employment Of the or
binary Illuminating gas which, by the ex-
listing mechanical devices on the market.
may be converted into hydrogen at the
rate OF 100 cubic feet per hour. More
over. the process will produce 1t and store

place in the field under pressure OF 1000
pounds to the square inch. which is 1873
atmosphere. II is proposed to have a chem
ical test In Chicago within the next few
days and to take steps toward the acquire
ment Of a plant which may be located at
Omaha, where the signal corps has its
main depot now. Some idea Of what this
means may be judged by the fact that
hitherto 1t has been impossible to obtain
hydrogen Of the required pressure in this
country, where nothing was produced OF
greater value than $50 pounds to the square
inch-the sort used in the familiar soda
water tank. 1t has been necessary, accord
ingly, to send the signal corps balloon
tubes all the way to France to have them
filled and this entaied great expense Now.
this service may be rendered at home, un-
der conditions attended by the greatest
economy the cost of the hydrogen being
estimated as twice that of the gas.

Chaplain Z. e. Fitzgerald. Twenty second
Infantry. is very anxious to spend a year
in Spain in an important work OF investi-
CATION and translation. He applied through
General Corbln at Manila for leave OF alb
sence for twelve months with full pay and
communication of quarters. 1t is within the
power of the secretary of war to grant
the leave, but the chaplain's pay status
while on leave is determined by section
1855 of the Revised Statutes, which places
an officer absent with leave on half pay
after one months absence from duty. It
would require legislative authority to give
the chaplain additional pay for the period
case in point being that OF Colonel Sy-
mons of the engineers whose services were
desired in connection with the Erie canal.
Legislative leaves of absence are not ia
vored by congress and its consent in a
limited number Of cases In which such in
diligence has been granted has been OBJ
tained with much difficulty by the bene-
hcisries and in the face of considerable
departmental opposition as general
thing The executive practice in that re-
gard has been quite conservative and has
been confined to officers of good standing
and considerable length of service who in
tend to leave the military establishment by
resignation with a view to engaging in
civil pursuits. 1t is not likely in Chaplain
Fitzgerald case that the War department
will approve Of any request for special
legislative favor.

The right of an Indian to receive the
government reward for the apprehension
OF a deserter from the army has been one
OF the questions this week before the War
department The law reads that the stip-
ulated reward shall be paid to civil officers
and citizens. Indians are not citizens, Of
course, but the term ''oitizen" as used in
the acts of army appropriation obviously
applies to persons not in the military SER
vice who are neither officers nor employees
OF the United States. The judge advocate
general OF the army has expressed the
opinion that as nothing remains to be done
but to pay the reward in this case, It will
be lawful to pay 1t to the Indian, who
rendered the service.

THE EAST AND THE WEST

The Exposition at Portland will do
much toward giving the East a pro-
per attitude of appreciation toward
the West. The thousands of Eastern
ers who will take advantage of the
reduced railroad rates and attend the
Exposition, see the western country
and it's people, study conditions and
turn home with minds cleared of very
much haziness that has beclouded
them by reason of the acceptance of
%ictional c~aricatures as gospel fact
They will find all along the Pacific
coast a civilization far advanced
splendid cities with skyscrapers
church spires. public libraries, uni
versities of learning and telephones.
1t is related that a Boston woman
who visited ST. Louis last year was
amazed to learn that the telephone
was in general use throughout that
city. What will be her establishment
to find in Portland not only the teIe-
phone that talks, but the telephone
that sees? At h Lewis and Clark
Exposition a device whereby one talk
ing through a telephone may see the
reflected features of the person at
the other end of the line will be exhi-
bited in practical operation for the
first time in public. and strange to
state. it is the invention Of a Port
land man.
The East and the West will become
acquainted at Portland. This will
clear up many misconceptions on
each side and will serve the strong
er to cemen the several sections of
our land.
