GEN. CUSTER ON
SCOUTS AND SCOUTi"G

Military expert reviewers Of the
present factors in the world war
must consider the reliance still on
efficient scouting and the import
ancc of the daring scouts of the air
as adiuncts to defeat or victory in
a campaign of today, as were these
"eyes of the enemy" as General Phil
Sheridan called them, depended up
on in the olden days of the buckskin
arrayed, mounted western frontiers
men.
When weighing the difficulties,
hardships and dangers between those
two scouting eras, Americans should
hold in enhanced esteem, the daring
souls who carved their names on
the pages of our Indian frontier war
pages.
Dangerous as is the aeroplane and
effective as is the wireless, scientific
mechanism has reduced it to min
imum in comparison with conditions
on the trackless plains. The hidden
foes, ambush, summer heat and win
ter blizzard, when capture meant
not only death but fearful torture,
was the fate defied in an individual
contest which men like Carson,

ness what genuine admiration and
gratitude filled my heart as these
intrepid men rode up to my hus-
bands tent to receive orders and
dispatches From my standpoint, it
required far more and a vastly higher
order of courage to undertake their
journeys, than to charge in battle,
for every duty or task seems easier
when shared by others. The most
cowardly of us might be so impress
ionable, so sympathetic in a great
cause that we saw others preparing
to defend that it would become our
own; and it is not improbable that
the enthusiasm might take even a
timid woman into battle, excited
and melted by the daring Of others,
the bray of the drums, the flash of
arms, the call of the trumpet. But

could go off on scout of hundreds
of miles to face death alone, as re-

admiration when my husband sent
scouts with letters to us, and we
saw them, returning, swim lightly
into the saddle and gallop off, ap-
parently unconcerned, freighted with
our messages of affection.

Burning Metal Under Water.

A flame to be used by divers to
burn away metal under water has
been tested, and 10 feet below the sur
face it made hole one inch in width
in a plate of iron nearly an inch
thick. The flame used is of the ordi.
nary oxyhydrogen type. 1t is incloscd
in a bell-shaped cover through which
a jet of compressed air is blown. The
air drives away the water sufficiently
to allow the flame to burn.

Vollon. the painter, was a unique
parsonage even among the odd charac-
ters Of Paris. While he was essential
ly bohemian, there were times when
even his patience was taxed to the Ut
most, and to obviate the necessity of
meeting unwelcome people he conceiv-
ed the idea of multiplying his lodging
places. At the time Of his death he
owned no less than forty homes, all in
apartment houses. situated in all the
out of the way corners of Paris, plain
ly furnished and with just enough ac-
commodation for himself. He changed
from one to the other all the time in
order to escape importunate acquaint-
ances and to take refuge from his
friends. 1t was in order to throw them
all off the scent that he engaged rooms
all over the city. He finally died In
the Rue de Dunkerque. where he had
as many as three different apartments.

really know what we can do until we
are put to the test The market is long

tain amount of initiative-the willing
ness to act when occasion demands
and the courage to fail under honest
effort and take the consequences. OF
course you may fail. but you can't tell
whether you will succeed unless you
try, and having tried to the utmost Of

drug He gives as follows his idea OF
the power of the habit:
81 do not believe that any man with
an opium or morphine habit of years
standing can deny himself the drug If
it is within reach.
II do not believe that any man. no
matter what his previous character
may have been. can use opium centin-
uously and not have the impulse to be
crooked. He may not be crooked, he
may lack the nerve or the necessity to
steal. but the impulse will be there,
and If it ever becomes a question of
theft or habit he will thieve. This
is the history of every opium smoker l

The panorama was invented by a
Scotchman named Robert Barker. who
obtained license In London in 1887
and erected a rotunda on Leicester
square. He was associated with Rob-
ert Fulton, the practical inventor Of
the stea mboat. who introduced pano-
ramas into Paris in 1896. but resigned
in favor of Thayer perhaps in order to
give his attention to the application Of
steam to boats. Thayer raised a ro-
tunda on the Boulevard Montmartre,
whence comes the name Of the Pas
sage des Panoramas. Bonaparte caused
plans to be drawn up for eight pano-
ramas, in which his conquests were to
be shown to the Parisians. whom he
always tried to impress with the mag
nitude of the achievements In order to
keep them faithful to his star But
these projects were never realized.

Music of the Spheres.

The ancients were of the opinion that
the planets in their movement through
space produced severally the seven
notes of the gamut. This music, it was
contended, was imperceptible to human
ears on account Of the fact that it was
too powerful for our hearing. Others
held that men did not hear it simply
because they were so used to 1t, just as
we do not notice the roar Of the city

The Sewing Machine.

The invention of the sewing machine
Is one Of the most interesting evolu-
tonary romances in the history of hu-
man prograss. Stone. Henderson and
Greenough had experimental extern
sively with the double pincer idea,
one to seize the needle below and one
above. Heilmann used a double point
ed needle, with the eye in the center
and Thimmonier and Ferrand had in
vented chain stitch machine In
1884 Walter Hunt originated the ex-
tension arm idea with needle similar
to the one now in general use. but be-
fore he applied for his patent In 1854
he had been forestalled by Elias Howe,
who will always be known as the in
ventor of the sewing machine. If Hunt
had not been so great a laggard he
might have won fame as an inventor.
but Howe is entitled to all the credit
that has been given him. Like all
great inventions. however. the sewing
machine was the product of many
minds.
