The SIGHT Of Mouaa.

How much does a mouse see? To
look at a mouse one would think that
sight counted for great deal in its
life. but experiments go to show that
this is only true within certain limits.
Mice are good at distinguishing differ
ent degrees of illumination and differ
ent colors. preferring red and yellow to
blue and green. and they are quick to
detect movements. but they have little
sense of form and little binocular vi
sion. Microscopic study shows that
the retina has no rods and no 80

The Pace Of the Camel.

AS a matter of fact and in spite
of its having carried Mohammed in
four leaps from Jerusalem to Nee
ca, seven miles an hour is the cam
el's limit, nor can it maintain this
rate over two hours. Its usual
speed is five miles an hour-a slow
pace, beyond which it is dangerous
to urge it, lest, as Asiatics say, it
might break its heart and die liter
ally on the spot. When a camel is
pressed beyond this speed and is
spent it kneels down, and not all
the wolves in Asia will make it
bulge again. The camel remains
where it kneels, and where it kneels
it dies. A fire under its nose is use
less.-Times of India.

nocent ". that in an assemblage she
could not distinguish cardinals from
abbots and other great personages of
the church. so the council of Lyons
in 1245 prescribed the red hat to re-
place the inter. and red hat It has
been ever since. In the constitution
of Boniface VIII. it was enacted that
cardinals should wear robes of royal
purple. but since 1464 red robes have
been worn, and the purple usually ap-
pears only at Lent and Advent, when
cardinals can be distinguished from
bishops by the red skull cap. biretta
and stockings.-New York Sun.

Vegetable camels.

No man need really perish for
want of water on the great deserts
of the United States. There are
several forms of cactus that store
water against a rainy season. They
are the camels of the vegetable
world. One form develops a great
hollow leaf that absorbs moisture
from the atmosphere. The other
throws up a thick round stalk and
holds the water in millions of cells.
In periods of drought the plants
draw on this stored supply. By
tapping these cactus reservoirs suf-
ficient water will drop out to save
the life of a traveler.-Harper's.

WASHING THE ENGINE.
Fierce Rivalry of Fire Companies In
the Old Days.

IttG Otd 0dYos
In the old DAYS before steam fire
engines came into use there used to
be fierce struggles between rival
fire companies 10 see which could
wash" the other engine A fire
was then fought" by extending a
line of engines from the nearest
water to the burning building. The
engine at the cistern or hydrant
pumped water to the one in front,
this in turn supplied the third, and
so on until the one at the fire end of
the line was reached, and it played
upon the flames.
The foreman of the first engine
TO reach the fire hailed the next
company that arrived with, will
you take our water?" A refusal
was not to be thought Of 1t would
be showing the white feather"
An engine was washed" when its
rival supplied it with more water
than it could pump out. so that its
box was oveEtowed. As the engines
we're all of nearly the same size and
pattern. the victory would belong
to the company that applied the
most muscle to it's brakes.
The exciting contest began with
the first stroke of the alarm bell,
for each company was ambitious to
be the first arrival at a fire. The
first member who reached the en-

kicked away the chocks and rolled

Down the street rush the engines,

Sidewalks, windows, doors are filed
with sympathizing spectators.

the foreman, as the rival engine
pulls up at the fire.
.'Yes."

at the rate of sixty strokes to the

On the front of the engine stands
the foreman. and with body sway

shouts words of encouragement to
his men.
Then. as he sees the water boil
ing in the box of the rival. he
grows frantic in his endeavors to
increase the speed of his men. As
it washes over the sides he Will lead
the cheer of victory, if he has voice
enough left to raise a shout.
Sometimes the second engine
pumped out water faster than her
antagonist could pump it into her.
Then the latter was disgraced, or,
in freman's slang, sucked on"
All sorts of excuses would be Of
fered by the members when their
engine had been washed. "She was
graveled." "She had brick in her,"
or There was a stick under the
valve" Men have even been known
to bore holes in the boxes of their
engine in order to prevent her from
being washed. = Youth's Compan-

TAKE MEASURES TO
CONTROL CUBANS
AMERICAN BATTLEsHIPs TO AS
sEMRLE Ar KEY WEST, READY
TO MOVE TO CUBA.
Plans Worked Out for Dashlng Cam
paien Against the Cuban Insurgents
Should Intervention be Thought
Necessary.

Washington.-Ins and dis
orders in Cuba, which threaten the
life and property of Americans and
are believed by the United States to
be spreading beyond control of the
Cuban government, caused the Ameri-
can government on Saturday to take
active steps in preparation to cope
with any situation which may arise in
the island republic.
Two divisions of the Atlantic bat
tleship fleet were ordered to take on
their full quota of marines, making a
total of 1900, in addition to the 100
now en- route to Guantanamo on the
Prairie, and rendezvous at Key West
ready to move to Cuba at the instant
their presence is needed. In all a
dozen warships will be in the vicinity
of Cuba within a few days.
The army is prepared with an expe-
dictionary force of $4,000 men If it is
needed and plans for a campaign to
stamp out the rebellion prepared by
the general staff are ready to be put
in execution at the call of the presi-
dent.
The instruction and the serious
labor troubles as a result of the re-
newal of the longshoremen's strike
are believed to warrant American pre-.
paredness. OF the two, the disturb
ances which probably will arise at
the Cuban ports through the strikers
operations are believed to be the more
immediate and dangerous elements in
the situation. In addition to the stop
page of trade, the throwing upon the
streets of large numbers of riotous Ia
borers and the privation likely to fol-
low the cutting of water transporta-
ton, the Cuban government is likely
to find itself without the sinews of
war, at a time when they are most
needed, through the total suspension
of customs receipts which form the
principal revenues of the island.
1t is believed that the near pres
ence in such ports Of one or more of
the American warships, by it's moral
effect would prevent violent demon
strations by the disorderly elements.

the Washington government had or.
dered a gunboat to Nipe bay and

West in anticipation of possible even

Cuba government was unable to pro-
tect American property, it was the
intention to land forces for that pur.
pose
President Gomez says the govern.
ment is doing its utmost, having with
in four days sent 1900 troops to
crush the rebels in Oriente and in
that short time having restored order
In all parts of the island, with that
exception.
He also says that 5000 rifles with
ammunition have been distributed to
loyal citizens and that the govern.
ment is prepared to food the compar.
atively small disturbed section with
regulars and volunteers.
Il appeal to you," he continues, las
a loyal friend of Cuba, respecting her
rights, that you will be convinced that
this government is capable and suf-
fciently supported by the va1or and
patriotism of the Cuban people TO
deal promptly with a few unfortunate
and misguided persons without reason
or flag.
"If you understand these conditions
you will perceive that it is not the
part of friendly government to con-
