required per pound of water evaporated
ranges between 1000 and 5000 cubic
feet Quite a lot. of course, depends on
the manner of exposure to the air, the
method of piling, etc. But it takes
quite volume of air any way it is fixed.

Second WiNea.

Mrs. F. NJ. Whaley. Albany. o., wishes
to reply to Mrs. Elizabeth Knight, of
Evansville, Tenn, whose article called
Honest Widows" appeared in a recent
issue of The National Tribune. in which
she expressed herself as not in favor of
pensioning second wives Mrs. Whaley
is a second wife of a veteran herself,
and is just as loyal as any wife who
lived separated from her soldier-hus-
band during the civil war. She is also
the daughter Of a soldier, and has the
greatest sympathy for the wives who
suffered during that dreadful period of
the war, and wishes from the bottom
of her heart that all might have 4 PEN
sion sufficient to their needs in old age
But she firmly believes that the widow
of soldiers second marriage should
be entitled to the same privileges. 1t
is these women who in a large degree
are caring for the broken-down invalid
veterans to-day. The strong, young
soldiers who returned to their families
after the war, even those who had been
wounded, did not require the care and
attention which the old veterans do to-
day. She suggests that this reply of
hers be headed Honest Indignation"
and thinks Selfish Widows" would be
a more appropriate heading for Mrs.
Knights article.
Isaac Van Hise. Hornerstown, N Y,
referring to Mrs. Elizabeth Knights ar
ticle, says he thinks her a little selfish.
He enlisted at II and married shortly
after the war. His wife died some
years ago, and having no one to care
for him in his old age he married again.
He lost the sight of one eye and the
hearing of one ear during the war, and
is now almost entirely blind and deaf.
His present wife has to be eyes and
ears for him, and it would indeed be
hard to take from her at his death the
