for the present army. In time of war
the army would be stripped"
Twenty officers of the army OF the
Argentine republic are coming to the
United States army to be trained.
This is one consequence of the off,
cial visit of General Wood to the CEN
tennial celebration Of the independ-
ence of the southernmost nation pro-
tected by the Monroe doctrine.
The significance of this was not al
luded to by General Wood, but from
other sources it had been learned that
the circumstances was important, as
Germans, who have been frequently
reported as unsympathetic toward the
United States policy regarding Euro
pean ambitions in this hemisphere,
are now instructors of the Argentine
army, and Germany, next to England.

ing machines as an adjunct in WARP"
Yes. / will say that l think the
smallest dirigible, one that can carry
the engineer and four or five men. is
going to be important. especially when
we can get them with reinforced en-
velope able to withstand the required
pressures Their utility is already as
sured for accommodating.
Our army's front is now twenty or
thirty miles long. If we can put up
men who can swiftly skip along over
that and see the enemy's lines of COM
munication, his field works, bridges,
ETC., obviously the information would
be of enormous assistance.

as useful as the small dirigible until 1t
is made large enough to carry at least
one man besides the driver. They
should also have a duplicate engine.

Catching Sea Birds.

An ingenious way of catching birds
is practised In the Orkney islands.
There is large white bird who tray
els with an irregular and heavy
fight, again and again rising and
taking tremendous plunge into the
blue depths of the ocean, where it re-
mans out of sight for the space of 10
seconds or so. This bird is the gan
net or solan goose, and 1t Is the only
aquatic bird that takes It's prey by
headlong diving, The willy Orcadian
takes advantage of the birds peculiar
plunging habit by painting the por-
trait of herring on a piece of plank
and weighing it just sufficiently to
keep it the right distance under the
water. This ingenious counterfeit is
placed in part of the sea infested by
gannets, and presently along comes a
bird whose sharp eye quickly detects
what he supposes to be fine fat her
ring. Away up he flies until he has
reached a sufficient altitude to enable
him to make a successful dive upon
his prey. Down, down he comes
straight as a plummet, and the sea Is
churned into foam all around where
he has entered L. But. alas! he
never rises more, poor bird! His
sharp beak is firmly imbedded In the
piece of timber. and his neck is
broken.-London Telegraph.

Carrying Plague From Rats.

Egyptian or rat heas had been
spread all over the warm countries OF
the world by the rats which they wor
ry and ride. 1t has been proved that
plague, but not so strong or deadly as
the rat fiea's plague. One Aea's stom-
ach and giEzard hold 5000 plague
germs. where germs can further grow
and keep alive for Is days, but after
10 days white blood cells in the rats
or t1ea's blood kill the plague germs.
Fleas suck the rats blood. and so get
white cells from the rats. Both rats
and feas become so charged that the
plague stops owing to immunity.

New York.-Maj Gen. Leonard

You know / have recommended, In

This would serve to turn back into
civil life larger proportion OF men
who in emergency could be called
upon. They would constitute a reserve.
How to arrange that they would be

Further than this General Wood
would not comment upon what he

His recommendations of a shorter
enlistment would send back to the
