The Third COrpN.

sion as to the number of divisions of
the Third Corps. He does not agree
with either Capt. Body nor Comrade
Gragg, but thinks the Third Corps. as
first organized, March, 1862, consisted
of three divisions under Gems Porter,
Hooker and Hamilton. About the first
of May the First Division, under Por-
ter, was detached and became part of
the new Fifth Corps, Gen. Porter re-
tanning command. On the detachment
of Porter's Division, Hamiltons Divi-
sion, now commanded by Gen. Phil
kearny, became the First Division, and
so continued until the corps was dis
continued by being merged into the
Second. A new Third Division was af-
terwards added to the corps. under Gen.
Whipple, which was discontinued at the
Generals death, and the regiments of
the division merged into the First and
Second Divisions. During the Gettys-
burg Campaign another Third Division
was added to the corps commanded,
first, by Gen. French, and, later, by Gen
Carr. This was the composition of the
Third Corps from that time until it
was discontinued. when the First and
Second Divisions became the Third and
Fourth Divisions of the Second Corps

Aluminium Novelties.

There has always been suggested in
Vulnerable uses for aluminium, and
many have been advertised; helmets,
weighing 500 grains, folding pocket
rules set squares, indication scales, etc,
have appeared and met with increasing
favor, but the German firm who has in
troduced the aluminium necktie GER
tainly takes the lead in novelties. These
are made to initiate ordinary necktie
materials, and are recommended for
Summer wear, as being easily cleaned,
while they are no heavier than the ordi-
nary necktie fabric.
They are certainly a fitting compile
ment to the celuloid collar, and, for
that matter, why not a whole suit OF
clothes of aluminium; almost any gar
ment, save, perhaps, a bathing suit?

CULTIVATED RuBBER.

The United States uses more than
half of all the rubber produced in the
world, and consequently the supply of
the same is matter of intense interest
to an immense number of industries.
AT the present rate of consumption and
wastefulness of gathering it is only a
question of a few years when the
sources of supply will be exhausted.
Consequently there is deep interest as
to whether it can be raised as a culti-
waited crop and this seems to have been
solved by ]. c. Horter, who some years
ago formed syndicate to raise rubber
In Central America. He has two planta-
tons in Nicaragua, and in 1904 made
his trial tapping, which resulted in a
yield of about 600 pounds. At that
time the trees were little over seven
years old, having been transferred from
the nursery in 1898. These have made
rapid growth. and are now from IS to
80 inches in circumference and 80 feet
high Last year Mr.. Horter shipped
1000 pounds of the finest grade of rub
Der, which brought the best price in the
market. He seems to have demonstrat-
ed the success of the project. and his
example will doubtless be followed by
many others, as rubber is an exceeding
Iy profitable product.

SUCCESSFUL CRUSADE AGAINST
CONSUMPTION

The Germans report most gratifying
success in their warfare against the
White Plague.
Returns furnished by the National
tuberculosis Congress at Berlin show
that there has been a decrease of 3S
per cent in the number of deaths from
tuberculosis since 1875. Sanitaria have
restored to health and work "a per cent
of the patients treated. During 1905,
26,621 persons coming under the Work
mems Insurance act were treated at
sanftaria.
The insurance companies of Germany
from 1901 TO 1905 spent s9,50O,000 in
fighting tuberculosis. The outlay in
cluded the establishment of &c sanitaria
with 2,111 beds for women and 10 sani-
taria with 541 beds for children. All
these were due to the suggestion of the
Empress.
The results attained at dispensaries
were also excellent. Thus in 1905
15.161 persons were examined in Berlin
and $500 apartments inspected and
modified so that a person infected with
disease could be isolated completely.
