Army Wanting in Marching ABILITY

that the field army is wholly unpre-
pared for field service He says the
new regulations are almost entirely
theoretical or dependent upon the ex-
perience of European armies Our
transportation is the same as at the
beginning of the civil war. for our
army has so far failed to make use
OF automobiles, traction engines and
other modern appliances in the field
The weaknesses could be quickly de-
yeloped if the present annual maneu-
vers could be replaced at least once
by the march of a complete army
corps. Very few of our officers have
ever marched with more than a regi-
ment.
To remedy these conditions, Maj.
Gen. Wood. chief of staff, has issued
orders which will change materially
the training of the army. The inspec-
tors general will be required to sub
init the troops to an annual inspection
in the field. in addition to the present
inspection, which is described in some
quarters as being little less than an
inquiry into the accounts and garri-
son work of the troops. The new in
spection will be designed to show the
efficiency of the troops in the theoret-
ical work taught army officers in the
various schools and provided for in
the various drill regulations

Many outbreaks have occurred in

1 atest Vice in France,

Paris.-Compared to the new vice
which has broken out in France, that
of taking ether, drinking absinthe and
injecting morphine are virtues. This
most modern vice has already as
sumed abnormal proportions, probably
because the sale of ether is free.
Consumers of ether begin by breath
ing it's yapor. Soon this pleasing eff
feet wears off, then they drink it. The
consumption of ether is not confined
to any special class of society. 1t is
asserted that 40 per cent. of the poor
er classes who go to the dispensary Of
the project of police are ether fends.
Physicians say that pint and three
quarters is as much as anyone can
safely take in day. However, drug
gists say that they have customers
who use about four times that amount.

enve1oped his bent form and he

who asked him how he Jared.
Gradually, however, he thawed and
admitted that he was eighty-four years
old. Certainly, I have had good
business. This used to be a good
street for trade. Lawyers used to use
it as a route to the courts, but all
these changes are taking the life out
of London. Folks now get under
ground like moles when they want to
move about the city. And every mes
senger boy who wants to, sports a
cheap tall hat.
What sort of customers? Most re-
spectacle customers l have always
had. If a silk hat was wanted for
some special occasion l would supply
a good one for shilling a day-a hat
no man could fail to be proud to go
out in.
"A shilling a day, mark you (the
old man lovingly polished shining
specimen of his head gear with his
sleeve), land the hat to be returned
to me in the condition in which it left
the shop. Should client require a
hat for more than day reduction
would be made There was no fixed
charge There were times when a
man positively had to have silk hat
and-well, l was not too hard on the
man whose fortune was small"
mo, trade latterly has not been al
ways brisk. 1t has sometimes hap
pened that more than a month has
passed before a client has come in
here to hire a hat, though sometimes
/ might have as many as four in day.
1t used to be very different. Not even
a funeral is conducted decently now
adays. Everything is rush and tear. y
And the old man sighed as he thought
of the former days, when times were
good and Londoners logged comfor-

Mr.. Gibbs-CompeIled to retire tenn.

Glen H. Curtiss-Has very largely
reinquished flying in favor of con
strnction.
NJ Sommers-Has become a con
structor and rarely flies
MIR. Rawlinson-Obliged to discon'
tinue flying after his accident at
BOurnemouth.
Mortimer Singer-After a fall at
Heliopolis last season, has not flown
again.
Mr. Grahame-W White thus describes
the nervous strain of flying: 1T is
the tension of fearing that something
unexpected may happen-that the en-.
CINE may fail, that stay may break,
that a controlling wire may snap. Any
one of these things may, one knows
quite well, bring about a fearful fall
The rush of air and the fact that one
is high above the ground, has very
little to do with the ordeal"
Experience already proves" was
the comment of an International au-
thority, that flying will become far
more easy; aeropIanessare on the eve
of enormous development SO far as re-
liability is concerned"

telligencer a young civil engineer
from the middle west. He was bubl
bling with a project which he proceeds
ed enthusiastically to lay before the
owner of the publication. His propo4
sition was the purchase in conjunci
ton with Mr. Hunt of lands adjoining
the city, and the Inauguration of a
boom which should net each of the
promoters an Independent fortune.
The rest is the history of Seattles
boom of the early nineties. which net

Then came the panic of 1893, and
the proprietor of the Post-Intelligencers
came out of the crisis worsted to the
extent of that same million-and then,
some.

Korea was his ultimate refuge, and
here it was that fortune perched
again, and finally. upon his banner.
and he now has a fortune beside
which the shorter lived one swal-
lowed by the panic in Seattle was a
mere bagatelle.
On the old homestead near Column

son was born, lives the widowed
mother of Leigh Hunt.
Upon large and well conducted
farms near by reside two brothers of

third brother is located in Chicago,
and a fourth, after some years in the
Korean mines, now lives with his

covery in Philippines.

San Francisco.-Cancer, the disease
which has baff1ed medical science for
over a hundred years, may be con-
quered at last. Dr. p. X. Gilman of
Oakland, professor of surgery in the
Philippine medical schools and sur
geon in chief of the Philippine general
hospital at Manila, believes he has
discovered vaccine which will stop
the ravages of the dreaded disease.
With this vaccine Dr. Gilman has
cured 20 cases of cancer in Manila.
In his laboratories there he has been
working for three years on his discoV-
cry, and is now ready to give to the
world the fruit of his labor He has
prepared an article for publication in
the Journal of Science, a medical and
scientific review published by the Blu
reau of Science of the United States,
in which the details of the cure will
be made public for the first time.
DR.. Gilman has been asked to dem
onstrate his discovery before the
Royal California Institute at Havana
He has been in communication with
Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the
Rockefeller Institute in New York
city, which was established for the
study and cure of cancer, and DR..
Flexner is greatly interested in the
discovery. He has written DR.. Gilman
for details. DR.. Gilman says that his
vaccine is homogeneous suspension
of dead bacteria in physicologic salt
solution, mixed with preservative.

of the explosive, into which a little
frost had found it's way, and after

in lot he is clearing.
When he went to get the explosive
after he had drilled holes in big
boulder, he saw flock Of his hens
scratching in the dynamite. and eat
ing it as they would eat small gravel
That's why the farmer does not dare

Who knows where that dynamite
they ate is now?" he said, sadly. Sup

I'd run the risk of cracking one OF

shells?"
And there's the story In an egg
