Hiding a Camel In the Desert.


DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, was the guest Of a rich Ham
burg merchant. The merchants son, a
young man Of a somewhat sentimental
Temperament, said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert on the back Of a camel. He
thought such ride must be very poet
ical indeed s4
my dear young friend" replied the
explorer, Il can tell you how you can
get partial idea of what riding a
camel on the deserts Of Africa is like.
Take an Office stool, screw it mp as
high as possible and put it in a wagon
without any springs. Then seat your
self on the stool and have it driven
over rocky and uneven ground during
the hottest weather Of July or August
and after you have not had anything
to eat or drink for twenty-four hours,
and then you will get a faint idea Of
how delightfully."- poetic it is to ride on
camel in the wilds Of Africa"

MAKE ARMY 100000
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO SO
Recommend To congress.
At Present Army is 10000 Strong, the
Peace Footing Number-The General
Staff Contends 1t Is Too Few to Gar
rison Posts Where Necessary-To
Add 10 Regiments of Infantry.

Washington, D. G. Sept. S.--Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in his final message to
congress, probably will recommend an
increase in the numerical strength of
the army to at least 100000 men. At
present the army is on footing of So
600 men, the number provided for on
the peace footing.
The general staff contends that it has
become evident in the last two years
that 10000 men are too few properly to
garrison the posts at which it is neces-
sary to maintain army forces. The posts
include the garrisons in the insular pos
sessions of America. The law provides
that the army may be increased to 100,-
600 men in time of need. This pro-
vision, in the opinion of military ex-
perts, is likely to prove a serious handi-
cap to the army if absolute necessity
should arise for larger force.
1t is pointed out that the recruiting
of the army from 10000 to 100000 men
would bring into the service an addi-
ton of two inexperienced men to every
three inexperienced soldiers. The injec-
ton of so considerable a force of raw
recruits, would detract seriously from
the efficiency of the army.
1t is also pointed out that a consid
cradle force will be required to gar
rison the Notifications at Pearl harbol
in the Hawaiian islands. An immense
amount of money is to be expended il
the erection of these Notifications and
it is the opinion of army officials thai
a garrison of at least 1000 men vii
have to be maintained there in ordel
to protect the works and insure agains
invasion by possible enemy. just nov
there are approximately 10000 Japan
csc in the Hawaiian island. In the re
mote event of war between Americ'
and Japan and some other power wit
which Japan is on friendly terms, j
would be impossible for the compare
lively small force of United State
troops now in the Hawaiian islands t
prevent the landing of arms and am
munition to supply the japanese in tn
islands.
1t is expected the president will rec
ommend in his message an increase O
the army by the addition Of at leas
10 regiments of infantry, five regiment
of cavalry and several companies q
coast artillery.
