American Commander in Charge.

Admiral Switzerland suggested to the
federal commander that he capture Coya-
tepe, but the South American assured
| him il would be absolutely contrary to
the rules Of the game as it was played in
Nicaragua. Coyatepe had never been
captured and never would be. Once In
the possession of either side, there 1t
would remain as impregnable as hunk
In a game of tag.
The American commander realized that
his ally had already cast himself and. his
army for the role of reserves in the rear,
and he accordingly took the initiative
upon himself
shelled Barranca hill all day, but with
out much result AS soon as 1t was
dark two battalions Of marines and a
company of bluejackets were hurried
across the front of the enemys lines to
the base of Coyatepe hill 1t was barely
dawn, dark day. with poor shooting
light, when the marines and bluejackets
received the word to start. They went
with empty stomachs. breakfast when
it's all over" was the word passed out,
and this may have had something to do
with the quick time in which the task
was accomplished.
How It Loked to Surgeon Hoyt.
Surgeon Hoyt had a long-range view
of the thirty-seven-minute engagement
| This is how the battle looked to him:
II was in charge of the field hospital
We had it rugged up in three box cars
| on the railroad line, about a thousand
yards from the hill. Pretty soon a one
pound gun on the hill began dropping
shells around us and we backed up a few
hundred yards. We couldn't see quite sc
we'll, but it was a better hospital location
The men started out in two columns on
opposite sides Of the hill, and they played
the game just as the textbooks say II
ought to be played. Rush firing !
think you call it.
First one group of four would run
thirty or forty yards and then they
would lie down and puff away at the
fellows on top of the hill. Then another
group would take it up. The rebels
didn't begin to shoot until our men were
within a range of 500 yards couldn I
see what effect the firing Of our troops
was having. but the rebels were wasting
ammunition.
None of our men was wounded here
In the open space. Presently they hit
the brush. and then the fighting was all

the firing from the top Of the hill but.
of course. 1 could not see what results
| the rebels were getting. 1t wasn't
much fun watching fight like that
Then all at once our lines got out into
| the open. There was considerable smoke
| for a moment or two and then a lull in
| the firing. 1 reckoned they had forgot
| ten the textbooks and were rushing 'em.
Pretty soon there were bugle calls. Then
they began bringing the wounded down

Americans Death Due to Pluck.

Two men were hit while the Ameri-
can troops were forcing their way
through the brush. One Of these was
Private Bobbit of Company B, who was
wounded just after the columns entered
the woods. One Of his comrades i'm
provised a tourniquet and bound it
around his leg. He was told to wait
until the men came back. When the
troops returned they did not find Bobbit
on the spot where he had been left. He
refused to sit out. His body was within
a hundred yards of the rebel trenches.
His efforts to get into the fight cost him
his life. He had bled to death.
Not all the courage was on the side of
the Americans. The Nicaraguans left
fifty dead in the trenches. There were
only 800 of them to 600 Americans at
the point of attack. OF course, if they
had been good soldiers they could easily
have held such a strong position against
an even larger force, but they were not
good soldiers and did not pretend to be.
The rules of warfare are somewhat
different in Nicaragua. Rum is consid-
cred just as Indispensable an ammuni-
ton for soldiers as bullets.

maximum charge for the local zone Is 6 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound.
 After that there is q graduated in crease, the second zone having q ra- dius of 150 miles. the third 300 miles, etc. until the eighth zone, which in- cludes every town over 1900 miles. Separate provision is made for all packages that weigh four ounces or less. Like the present system of fourth class matter, there will be a flat rate of a cent an ounce. If a package weighs over four ounces 1t goes under the pound rate.

The pOstofice department has been working overtimeN since last July, when congress passed the law. preparing for the inauguration of the new service. Twenty thousand of the most delicate and intricate scales have been ordered for delivery before Jan. l..
 A most elaborate system of maps has been completed, inaugurating q zone system. There are eight differ ent zones. Upon the maps are depict ed various units in each zone. Every town is situated in a numbered unit, shown upon the map. The first zone is any distance within fifty miles. The second zone is a greater distance, and so on until the last zone, which takes in Alaska and the Hawaiian Is lands, but not the Philippines

Each To- cality makes its own first zone, so it was necessary for the postoffice de partment to have printed separate maps for each locality. Suppose you are in unit 717 in the first zone and you want to send package to Buffalo, which Is approximately in unit 1,162, which is in the second zone. You take the package to the postoffice, and the postoffice clerk will place it on the newly constructed scales, first desig mating on the scales that the package Is to go to the second zone. When it is weighed the scale will give exactly the amount. necessary to carry the package to its destination.

Harvard Professor Sends Sound of
 Voice Thirty-five Miles.
 Assistant Professor G. W. Pierce of the department of physics at Harvard has devised a new wireless telephone instrument which may eventually revO- lutioniZe the methods of long distance communication. The new instrument has already received the hearty in- dorsement of John Hays Hammond, Jr.
 Professor Pierce was the guest of Mir. Hammond at his Gloucester laboratory at Fresh Water Cove recently, where a series of experiments was conducted with the new apparatus.
 The wireless power was concentrated about fifty feet above sea level. By means of the new instrument Professor Pierce got into communication with the Harvard Wireless club, thirty-fve miles away, and talked with several of the club members for a space covering fifteen minutes.

 Sir George BirdwOod, officer of the Legion of Honor. laureate of the French academy and formerly professor of anatomy and physiology at Bombay, has contributed at the age of eighty his views on how to reach ripe old age. His maxims are:
 Don't think about your health.
 Enjoy yourself as much as possible. Ignore dietary tables.
 Eat whenever you feel inclined.
 Look on the bright side of things.
 Sir George is particularly scornful about the diet on which another con tributor to the discussion thrives- namely. two meals of eggs. bread and butter daily.
