Our ready man for any emergency,
Tom Paysinger, took it on himself
to get another hat: Tom was a
noted forager. Every soldier knows
how many things a soldier brings
under the heading of foraging, so
now you will understand what /
mean when I say that Tom went
foraging into the Lee Washington

in the recitation room they left
their hats hanging in the hall, and
Tom took his choice and brought
it to Croner. The next day as we

his hat. for he was afraid the OWL

War Recollections.
Bv James Mitchell.

DN ldil!tS AtltCllcl.
Camp near Gordonvillr, Va. 1901
LongstrcetS corps lay i'll camp
near (,ordonvilIc since We had come
from east Tennessee in April,
where We had spent the winter.
While here all of the soldiers who
had ben home during the winter.
came in and reported for duty, pre-
paratory Tor the campaign Of 81.
Among them a member OF Go. g..
Sergeant T. K. Wilson who was
wounded in the back OF the neck at
the battle of Chickalnauga. The
bullet had lodged somewhere in the
neck and he had suffered with sore
throat and an obstruction in the
swallow. One day while he was
gargling his throat with vinegar,
he strangled and in the fit OF
coughing that followed, he cough
cd up the bullet that had been lodg-
ed in the throat more than six
months.
Fire broke out from camp one
very windy day, the wind driving
the fire right down on Gordonville
The whole corps was ordered out
to fight the fire and from teri
o'clock a. ln., until sundown we
fought fire to save the town. Late
in the evening the wind subsidized,
and we succeeded in checking the
FIRE and saving the town. Let me
go back a little about the first of
April.
g.. I will not say that we boarded the
train, but we were put in freight
boxes like sardines in box, heads
and tails, no seats to sit on. we
would put our krapsacks against
the walls, and sit on them until we
got tired, then put Our heads OH the
knapsacks and stretch ourselves
across the car and the man on the |
opposite side would do the same
way.
[ remember it was a very cold !!
day and showed a little, and we had !
no fire and nowhere to make any, !
so when the train stopped, some of
the boys jumped out and threw dirt
in and we piled it along the middle !
of the box, then we got some fence
rails and built a fire the whole
length of the box, showed the doors !
shut, took our 1nuskets and punched ,
the top out, SO that the smoke
could get out. We had to stick
close to the floor so that the smoke
would not get in OUR nose and eyes.
While we were on this tri ip some of
the soldiers would get on the top
of the cars, and as we passed the
little stations and houses on the
road, the ladies would wave their
E1andkerchiefs and cheer us. One
Of our company, A. B. Cromer,
thought he would wave back, and
could find nothing better than his
blanket, so he swung his old blanket .
over his head and wiped his hat off
and away it went, and he was left
oareheaded.. .;

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

from the south wing Of the Capitol,
an underground pasSageway, through
which members of Congress may pass
back and forth from the legislative
hall to their offices. There are 40
Office rooms, providing room for each
Representative in Congress and Dele
gate, and leaving vacant nineteen
rooms for future growth in the men,
bership of the House through a reap
portionment of districts or. the Idmis-
sion of new States. The House annex
and the Senate office building. also
under construction at the opposite end
of the plaza, are being put up to pro-
vide for the members of the National
Legislature. quarters absolutely needed
for the efficient transaction of public
business. The great growth in size
of both branches of Congress has
caused the Capitol building to be en-
larged, but this was only sufficient to
provide the necessary space for the
assembly halls of House and Senate
and the committee rooms the latter
in many cases being small and badly
ventilated. Under present conditions
individual members (unless they hap
pen to be chairmen of committeeS)
have no offices and badly congested
condition exists. Realizing the need
of one great legislative centre where

years ago authorized the construction

Work Progressing Rapidly.

Although the digging of the trenches
for the House office building was be-
gun less than a year ago. the structure
is now up to the first floor line. To
hasten the work Elliott Woods, Super
intendent of the Capitol, directed that
construction begin before all the speci-
fications and contracts were complete.
This was done through letting out the
stone contract first, by authority of the
House Building Commission. 1t is cal
culated that both buildings will be
ready for the Sixtieth Congress.
In accordance with Masonic tradf-
tions, the ceremony was conducted in
the open air, in a simple, unostenta-
tious manner. In every detail 1t corre-
sponded as nearly as practicable with
the historic ceremony in which Presi-
dent Washington participated. The
articles placed in the cornerstone were
largely identical in character with
those deposited in the original Capt.
tol stone by Federal Lodge, and. as
both President Roosevelt and Speaker
Cannon are members of the Masonic
order. the occasion in every way har-
monized with the spirit of the cere-
mony directed by the Virginia jurisdic-
ton in laying the cornerstone Of the
Capitol.

THE SURGERY OF THE AN.
CLIENTS,

What is known to modern dentists
as bridge work was familiar to the
Etruscans. as eNtant specimens attest,
according to an interesting article in
the British Medical Journal. Plaster
ears, noses and lips were common
among the Indians, where the cutting
Oh of these features was punishment
much in use. and Greek and Roman
veterans who had lost leg or an arm
in war tried to make good the de-
ficiency by artificial substitutes. 1t is
stated further:
What is said to be the oldest artifi-
cial leg in existence is now in the mu-
scum of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England. Ii was found in a tomb
at Capua. Pliny speaks Of Roman
warrior who. a century and half be-
fore the birth of Christ, wore an arti-
manipulate a sword. In the Middle
Ages artificial limbs sometimes re-
paired the disablements of war. The
iron hand of Goetz Won Berlichingen
was an ingenious piece of mechanism
made for that famous knight in 1904.
A century later an artificial hand was

In the already hardened shell that sur
rounds the inner mass. That shell
must give way at some point. Aside
.-am the contractions of the earth's
surface. another cause is given that
might affect the changing of the sur
face Of a given part Of the world. This
cause is the accumulation of a vast
weight of sedimentary deposit brought
down by rivers. For example, the Mis-
sissippi River is. entirely made up of
the deposits of the streams washing
down from higher lands. The weight
Of that deposit would be difficult to
calculate, and resting upon a portion
OF the earth's shell, might occasion its
sinking. This theory is held by some
scientists in connection with the Cali
fornia disaster. for the Sacramento
River is the depositor of vast weights
OF sediment in the Pacific waters near
San Francisco.

are never caused by volcanoes. but by
faulting plains. This is particularly
true Of both seaboards Of the United
States. Mr.. Walcott and other scien.
lists Of the Geological and Geodetic
Surveys agree that scientifically the
recent disturbances were caused by
conditions Identical with those pertain
ing during the earthquake which de-
molished Charleston. s. c.. on August
81. 1886. Volcanoes occasionally cause
shaking OF the earth's crust, but the
disturbances occasioned by pent-up
gases seeking to escape are felt only
locally.

Ambrose Pare devised artificial limbs
with movable joints, which were made
for him by artihcers. of whom Lor-
raine, . locksmith, was the most
famous. Pare devotes a special chap
ter to the means OF repairing or sup
plying natural or accidental defects
in the human body. He describes ar
tificiaf eyes and noses. an artificial
tongue and an artificial palate. At a
later period Father Sebastian, Car
melite monk, made movable arms and
hands. In the earlier part OF the sew
enteenth century Peter Lowe. In his
'Discourses on the Whole Art Of
Chirurgery,' gives representations Of
artificial legs. About the middle Of

Miss Longman's design has two pam
els representing Peace" and war" On
The peace panel IL n figure symbolizing
science. an old man in an attitude of
deep thought explaining a difficult
problem to two students OF the acad-
emy. On the war panel patriotism Is
represented by a female figure. SYM
bolical also of the home, the protection
OF which Is assumed to be the reason
for the existence OF the navy. Under
her draperies Is a coat Of armor. and
with one hand on n cannon she points
with the other TO the distance, where
masts OF ships show the destination Of
the marching figures in the back
ground.
In the upper panels OF the door are
festoons supported by shells-of oak
leaves over the war panel and olive
over that Of peace. In the lower panels
wreaths OF the same leaves inclose tte
names OF naval heroes. In the transom
is the dedication to the class OF '6S,
and above the transom ia group rep
resenting Fame-two laurel-crowned
figures on either side OF an altar-like
pedestal, with an inscription to John
Paul Jones, whose bones are to rest
in the crypt Of the chapel. The pedes-
tai is surmounted by a tripod, from
which issue flames, symbolizing endur-
ing fame.
Award to Woman Unprecedented.
The award Of this prize to a woman
is said to be an unprecedented event In
the artistic history Of the country, and
bright future is predicted for the
young sculptress.
II consider Miss Longman to be one
of the most promising Of our younger
sculptors." said Mr.. Daniel G. French.
whose assistant she has been for the
last four years.
Miss Longman was born In Win
chester. Ohio. her father. Edwin II.
Longman. being musician and an ar
tist. Drawing was one Of her childish
amusements. and she began modelling
without instruction In the art depart
ment OF Olivet College. Her work there
attracted the attention Of dorado Taft,
who invited her to enter the Chicago
Art Institute as his pupil. She did so
and during the first year paid her ex-
penses by doing library work. Then
she was made An assistant instructor
In the school. and . year or two later
she came to New York, where she
oooa after became IN assistant to MI.

from the effect of the Capitol itself.
The exterior design for the buildings
is classic, suggesting in its general di-
vision of parts the Garde Meuble in the
Place de la Concorde, Paris, while the
pavilions are modelled on those of the
Colonnade de Louvre. Architecturally
the front is divided into two parts, the
lower corresponding to the first story
of the building constituting a .'rusti-
Gated" base, on which, extending
through the second and third stories.
