Dry-Weather Plants.
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harper's Magazine.
In damp regions the roots of perennial
plants sink deeply and sustain great
growth above ground. In a moderately
dry climate plants develop bulky roots and
store up supplies which outlast the sum-
mer drought or the plants themselves, as
in the case of the cactuses, become fleshy
reservoirs of water and food. In the ex-
treme desert neither of these resources is
available and perennial herbs are conse-
auently few. Only stunted shrubs and
hardy ANIMALS are able to exist at all, the
former growing very slowly, with tough
ness of texture, the latter fiourishing briefly
during the spring rains, devoting little en-
ergy to making stem or leaves or flowers
mostly inconspicuous and wind-fertilized-
and Fastening (while sometimes still of
very small size) to perfect the seeds by
which alone the species will survive until
the next years short period of wetness
gives a possibility of termination ami
growth.

Guard Has Made Progress.

Ihe annual report Oh the military Secre-
tary to the Secretary of War has just been
made public. The following extracts are
of interest to the citizen soldiery of the
national capital:
cit appears from the reports received that
some of the states have made material
progress in the reorganization of their
militia, and that the militia authorities in
other states have endeavored to procure
the enactment of the state legislation nee
essary for such reorganization. The or
ganization and the personnel of the militia
forces have been greatly improved, and the
individual members of the National Guard
have manifested an increased interest in it's
advancement.
"A comparison of the reports of inspection
for the current year with those for the year
1903 shows thatJthe rules of discipline have
been more rigidly insisted upon, and the
provisions of local law requiring examina-
tons as to physical and mental fitness for
warrant or commission have been more
uniformly enforced. This has resulted in
the eliminationdof undesirable and incom-
petent, and dissatisfaction in their stead
of officers and men whose fitness ability,
zeal and enthusiasm have had a good effect
on the organization.
MANY of the officers of the militia have
manifested desire to pursue those lines of
study which have brought the regular army
to it's present high standard of efficiency.
Not only have they sought to obtain a
more intimate knowledge of theoretical mil
endeayored to familiarize themselves with
army methods by making practical use of
the blanks, books and systems of record
for the study of which the War Department
has endeavored to afford every facility. AS
an aid to officers in the requirement of a
knowledge of military science the govern
ors and adjutants general of states and
territories have endeavored to supply head
quarters libraries with military text books
and works of recognized merit by officers
of the army and other writer's on military
and kindred subjects.
Retrogression in Some States.
TT is true that there appears to have
been a letrogression in some of the states,
but careful analysis of the reports re-
ceived iiscloses conditions promising fu-
ture advancement in efficiency, and gen
erai disposition to abandon such customs
as have been destructive of discipline and
proficiency.
Very satisfactory progress has been made

In bringing the organized militia of the
several states and territories to state OF
armament and equipment equal to that OF
the regular army. Several OF the states
have enacted new laws based upon the fed
eral militia law of January Il, 1903, In
which there have been Incorporated sew
eral of the features of the proposed mil
itary code published in the War Depart
ment circular of October 8, 1903.
During the fiscal year ended June so,
1904, there has been no opportunity to de-
termine accurately what percentage OF the
organized militia may be depended upon TO
respond to a call to repel invasion or sup
press rebellion against the authority Of the
United States, as no occasion for calling
any bodies of militia or of volunteers into
the service of the United States has arisen
during that period. 1t is estimated, how
ever, from the results of the special inspec-
ton held during the spring of 1901 that
about 10 per cent of the total strength OF
the organized militia would respond to sucn
a call.
1.-THE new militia law has aroused the in
terest of the young men of the country in
military affairs and has increased their in
clination for military service. 1t has also
improved the personnel of the organized
militia, raised the standard of its discipline
and increased it's efficiency"
In the report it is explained that 1.-The en-
campment of the National Guard of the
District of Columbia was held at Harper
Ferry, w. Va, August 1 to 13, inclusive,
the entire brigade participating. Troops u
and +, 10th United States Cavalry, and the

Prizes for Securing Recruits.

AS gan evidence of what energy and
"hustling' will accomplish attention has
been directed to the recent history of Com
pany L, I'd Regiment, which now consists
of two commissioned officers and fifty-eight
enlisted men. OF these only fifteen were
members of the company when Capt. Rich
ard B. Clayton assumed command. year
ago last January.
Maj. Harvey offered prize of IS to the
man securing the largest number of recruits
for the 9th Battalion between October and
December last. Corp. Lewis of Company
L won the prize by being responsible for
the enlistment of seven men. Capt. Clayton
offered prize of So for the same purpose
the contest ending August l last and Corp.
Brown won, with five recruits to his credit,
one of them being Corp. Lewis, who later
won the prize furnished by Maj. Harvey.
Capt. Clayton has again offered a cash
prize for securing new members
Company L, I'd Regiment, meets for drill
each Wednesday, and the non-commis-
stoned officers are instructed at the sessions
school, held each Saturday evening.
Capt. Clayton has adopted the rapid as
sembly system as a means of keeping in
touch with his men. Each "non-com. !" has
from hve to ten pr1vateS living near him
to look after, and if one of them is absent
from drill he is directed to see the man
personally, find out the reason for the alb
sence, and do what he can in a friendly
way 70 prlns IN any delinquent man of his
squad.
Militia headquarters has been asked by
Capt. Clayton for permission to take his
company out any Saturday night weather
permitting, until time for camp for field
instruction. The company was out eight or
nine times last year, camping Saturday
night, and drilling and marching Sunday:
returning Sunday evening. Usually two
squads participated, and the men showed
