WHISTLER AT WEST POINT.
Disliked to Have His Hair Cut.
His Love of Frankness.

From the Century Magazine.
At West Point was Old Joe, the negro
cadet haircutter. He was never known
tons. once month cadets We're
obliged to have their hair cut hv him
This was great worry to Whistler
who disliked to part with his pretty
locks; so he would try by cajolery and
fiattery to have Joe let up a little on
the length of his hair.
But in this he was never successful
Joe would stop his shears in the midst
of remonstrance and say. Mr.. Whist
Ter, do you want me to cut your hair
according to regulations or not" Of
course this put an END to the argu-
ment. and Whistler would come back
to our rooms. look in the glass and
swear about Joe.

Care in Making Cannon.

From the Engineering Magazine
The field gun proper is made of nickel
steel, of about 10000 pounds per square
inch tensile strength. The inspection
and specifications for the forgings are
most rigid and the slightest flaw de-
veloping at any stage of manufacture
is usually sufficient cause for rejecting
the forging, or for special proof firing
with excessive preSsures at the risk of
the maker after the gun is completed.
An experienced manufacturer may not
have many rejected forSings. but with
out exceptionally good fortune an in
experienced maker may count on 25
per cent or more of reflections. This
extreme care does not appear unrea-
sonable when il is considered that the
gun must Withstand suddenly applied
interior pressure of perhaps $4,000
pounds to the square inch, which at
each firing stresses some portion of
the gun to perhaps 10 per cent of it's
elastic limit. gun failure is of seri-
Gus moment, for aside from the death
or injury of the detachment the moral
effect on other detachments is bad.

'Travelette
| 5rcNik|ah,
Glorieta.

This little mountain town in New
Mexico was the scene of a battle of
genuine historical Importance, and of
especial interest now because in il
Mexican citizens of the United States
the greatest loyalty.
During the civil war the Confederates
formed the project of conquerins the
whole of the southwest, then largely
undeveloped and thinly populated In
this way they proposed TO obtain for
the Confederate States of America a
great rich territory, from which the
new nation should draw the wealth TO
rebuild after the war
The project was wholly racticable
one, for there We're few people and
only small garrisons in the great
southwestern territories. The south
erners, however, could spare only
small force for the expedition, and not
more than two or three pieces of artil-
lery. Nevertheless the little army set
out with high hopes.
AT Glorieta ii encountered the forces
of the Union, not much stronger than
its own, and a small but fierce and
bloody battle ensued. The hottest ac-
ton took place in the vicinity of an
old homestead long known as Pigeon
ranch" and the battle still is known
ate forces finally We're defeated and
driven out of the country. Had they
won the engagement, the whole of the
southwest probably would have fallen
into their hands, and ii is conceivable
that the course of the great war might
have been materially affected by their
victory.
Among the Union troops in this en-
gagement We're many MeXicans, ma
tives of New Mexico. and then as now
loyal citizens of the Union One of
these veterans of Spanish blood still
lives at Glorieta, and is fond of tell
ing the story of the battle, always as
serting with great oratorical effect
that the troops fought standing in
blood kneedeep.
The village itself consists now. as it
did then. of half a dozen adobe houses
Only a bit of a red railway station has
been added. The town lies at the foot
of a towering range of mountains in a
country of red hills, scantily clothed
in juniper bushes, with here and there
tall pine. There is fine spring
shaded by giant mountain willows,
where the natives drive their herds of
bleatlng goats to water. Even the
coming of great railway has not suf-
feed to change the quiet tenor of
Glorietas life.

Two Kinds of Pipe.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Up to about twenty-eight years ago
hand -puduled iron was used entirely
for making pipe; for various reasons
steel had not been successfully welded,
and as the quantities needed We're com
paratively small there was no trouble
in supplying the demand. With an in
creasing use of pipe, however. the dis
covery that steel could be welded when
treated properly. and the discovery of
cheaper and better processes of max
ing this material, caused it to be en-
ployed more and more. and two classes
of pipe appeared on the market-iron
and steel. With many manufacturers
in the field different grades of these
appeared. and now there are a number
of such grades; in fact, there is as
much difference between some of the
wrought irons there is between il
and the SteelS. and there is a CORE
spending disparity between the latter
All of this has tended to increase the
confusion, anu inasmuch as any new
material is liable to be looked upon
with suspicion, it is perhaps only nat
ural that there should have arisen much
lack of agreement regarding the length
of life which iron pipe, as contrasted
with that made from steel, might be
expected to give.

Pop Lannigan left Charlottesville early
this morning, having in his charge
twenty-five picked men from his track
squad for the big dual meet with the
Midshipmen at Annapolis Saturday

Wallace. Airey, McKeel and Pace will
run the sprintS The Middies trimmed
the Nirginians in these events last
year. and this quartet has been espe-
cially trained in the hopes of evening

Virginia's strength lies in the middle
distances and weights. Capt. Norris
heads the former contingent, and Will
be seen in action in the half and the
mile relay. Stone. Minor and Edmunds
will run the quarter. Round and Jen-
kins, with Norris. complete a trio of
entries for the half.
The relay probably will be run by
Cornick, Massie. Goodwin and Capt.
Norris. 1t is possible. however, that
Pop Lannigan may make late shift,
depending upon the condition of the
middle distance men the field.
In the weights Rube Barker and

in placing. Conyers and Archer also
are entered here
Wilson and Bretelle are the only two
entries for the hurdle events Reaslev

A CLAW Coffin.

Human clay can now be buried in a
clay casket if the latest innovation in
undertaking supplies becomes popular
The clay coffin is said to be dust, YER
min and WATERPROOF, and therefore
more durable and satisfactory than any
wooden casket. 1t is supplied with
metal handles and cloth Innings and a
pane of glass is set in the lid, but both
the lid and the caSket are entirely of
clay nodded each in one piece. The sharp
corners are overcome in the clay cof-
fin and it can be finished to simulate
any desired material in either black,
white or gray If the clay coffin
reaches commercial demand it can be
produced at moderate cost.
