Spiral Nebuiae.

It is now an established fact that the
majority of the nebulae known to as
tronOmers are spiral nebulae. Their
study Is very important, and in par
ticular knowledge Of their spectra is
capable Of furnishing valuable informa-
ton. The study Of the spectra of
nebulae' is rendered very difficult by
the small intrinsic brightness they pos
sess. Nevertheless, some careful ex-
periments made by Slipher on the neb-
ula in Andromeda render it probable
that the nebula has a radial velocity
of about 1856 miles a second, a result
which is distinctly greater than the
figures formerly obtained for other
nebulae. If this nebula in Andromeda
approaches the solar system with this
velocity-11. 16O miles a minute-it sug-
gests that the new star which appear
ed near it's nucleus in 1885 had been a
dark star which was encountered

The White Flag.

Is It Is a great temptation to command
ers in wartime to use the white flag as
a trick to obtain breathing space when
hard pressed by theeneny, and this is
often done. although it is against the
laws Of war. , ...t ,.t..
a The old purpose of the white flag is
to notify the enemy that their oppo-
nents wish to parley, and commander
has a perfect right to refuse such a
request if he deems it necessary. Even
IF he consents he can request that the
bearer Of the flag Of truce be blind
folded so that he may not secure in
formation concerning the camp which
he enters. In nos aire dmstances must
the white flag be shown to trick an
opposing side into relaxing their at
tack, so that a retreat may be prepared
or re-enforcements brought up for a
fresh attack. In this connection 9
common ruse is for a harassed com,
mander to request his enemy for an
armistice apparently for the purpose
of burying his dead. He then takes
advantage of the truce by retreating
with his troops under the cover OF
darkness.-London Tit-Bits.

Detraction,

In some unlucky dispositions there Is
such an envious kind of pride that they
cannot endure that any but themselves
, should be set forth for excellence, so
that when they hear one justly praised
they will either seek to discount his
virtues or, if they be like a clear light,
they will stab him with a butt OF de
traction, as if there were something
yet so foul as did obnubilate even his
brightest glory. When their tongue
cannot justly condemn him they will
leave him suspected by their silence

WATERPROOF AN ARMY.

Suitable drinking water is of vital
Importance to an army, and this is
only one of multitude of problems
that must be studied carefully by
those who conduct a successful cam
paign. In the special war issue of the
Scientific American of November 7
there is a comprehensive article on
military camps which gives the follow
ing description of the provisions made
in regard to water.
The water supply of a camp is a
matter of great Importance. Only run
ming water is used. In the German
army the upstream water is used for
drinking purposes, and the down
stream water for watering horses and
for bathing. Suitable signs notify the
men which water is safe to drink and
which may be used for bathing. In
shallow or narrow streams basins are
dug or small dams built so as to form
a reservoir of ample dimensions. Step
ping stones are provided to keep the
water clean, as well as broad protec
ton to prevent the banks from crumb
ling. Basins are dug for watering
horses; troughs are provided only In
case of necessity, and are then prop
ped on posts and filled by means o.
pumps. Pipes may be driven if water
lies at reasonable depth, in Other
words not more than twenty feet. De
pending upon their size, these pipe!
will deliver from four to twenty-five
gallons of water per minute. If water
lies very near the surface hole /!
dug and cask, the bottom of which
has been knocked out, is placed in tn,
hole to form basin. If the water lie.
at a greater depth the basin may b,
formed of box sections, driven in on,
on top Of the other.
