Land Forces Now Under Arms To-
tai 7O,0OO-Dickinson to
Ask Change in Report.

Fresh evidence Of the troubles the
Senate and House leaders are going to
experience in trying to repress expendi-
lures is coming to light daily. The dat
est development in the direction of
higher appropriations is in connection
with the army. It appears that the
general stan is steadily pressing ahead
in its plans to increase the army. The
pressure on Congress to enlarge the
army for some time. has been strong.
but II is going to get stronger. More
over, Secretary of War Dickinson is
looked on as favorable to it. and the
President himself as well inclined TO
the enlargement of the military arm
Just at present the army is larger
than it has been for a good while. with
the organizations as a rule enlisted up
10 their full peace strength. The land
forces now under arms amount to about
10000 men.
But the general staff is not satisfied
with this, and it is given out that under
the supervision OF Gen. William Wother-
spoon. of the War College. the general
staff is evolving a plan to reorganize the
regular army on basis of $4,000 men.
To Be In First Report.
II is expected that Secretary DicIin-
son will embody the report of the gem
eral staff on this subject in his first re-
port as head of the War Department
The plan contemplates important
changes in organization. such as the con-
soIidation of the quartermaster' depart
ment, the subsistence department, and
the pay department into a single de-
partment, with a major general at the
lead.
But the most important changes pro-
posed would be in the line. The infan-
try force would be materially enlarged.
so as to consist of nine divisions having
a total Of eighteen brigades The ca
airy would consist of three diisions. with
a total of six bTigades. Other branches
of the service would be strengthened and
thoroughly mOdernized.
Army Officers Opinion
Army officers have long been of the
opinion that material increase of the
army is imperative and they have been
able to make strong arguments for their
proposition.
Every year the equipment of the
army in modern fashion becomes in
creasingly expensive. even If no troops
are added Last session. for instance.
Congress refused to appropriate any
thing for aerial experiments. With the
constant development in airshipS il will
be impossible for Congress much longer
TO refrain from allowing considerable
sums for airship purchase and expert

Improvements in artillery and the like
Illustrate the fact that increasing de-
mands on the Treasury for the upbuild-
ing of the army cannot be escaped or

Power of FaTIinq Water.

1t is perfectly well known to every one that water constantly dropping upon stone will wear it away, and there is trite old proverb regarding this fact. The force of single drop of water falling from a height is not great, but the results of this tiny blow when it is many times repeated are astounding. There is a story of one poor wretch who was bound with his back to stone wall and had a stream of water E'of the bigness of a mans finger directed on to his bare head, the water falling from a height of about eighteen feet The receptacle from which this apparently harmless stream trickled was a barrel holding only twenty gallons, but before the water had more than half run out the man was dead, with hole in his skull which exposed the brain.-Popular Me chanicS

A year or so ago an American stu dent in Berlin was attending a lecture in room drowsily close through lack of ventilation To keep awake he be. gan whispering to German at his side the story of Mark Twain about the. man who lived all his life in a chronic. fear of fresh air. The relatives of thi3l man, as is well known, decided after his death to have his remains cremat. ed, and the climax of the story occurs when the undertaken, opening the door of the oven to see whether incineration was complete, was appalled, to hear the corpse speak out and request him to close the door and shut off the draft. The American sprung the joke as ef- fectively as he could, but never a smile was his reward.
