Restores DcSccrated Flag.

While making his rounds, Sergeant Ezekiel at Post No. 23 found an American flag that sometime before had been burned by Mexican bandits He restored what was left of the flag to it's proper place.
 At daylight small bands of Mex jeans skirt the hillsides gathering berries and showing other indications of their small town farming activities. The father of a Mexican family when he starts for a days exercise (they do not "work" here) strides a wee small burro, leaving his i'll clad chill dren and his wife to trudge along the dusty road behind him. He is in deed monarch of all he surveys.
 The men are now getting their share of the mails and the postal system is not being criticised any more. I guess from now on all the mail sent properly will be received In due time.
 Today was a cheerful one in camp. It was day long to be remembered and will go down in history together with the glorious day on which we received pie for mess. All the boys signed the company payroll this morning and now expected to get
 
 soon as all their just debts are paid, however, there will be nothing left.
 The new camp is not yet equipped with a water system and dozens of water wagons have been on the go all day bring the elixer of life to the boys Some of the men never be- fore fully appreciated just how good water is The company canteen will probably be finished tom orrOw under the supervision of Sergeant Powers and then there will be another season of great rejoicing.
 One of the company horses showed lack of good judgment yesterday by singing it's swan song at the end of Company I street. Sergeant Norton had the boys guessing when he gave an order for "Iorse Detail. Fall In." When they learned what was up thore was some approximations that they had not enlisted as veterinary sur geons or undertakers, but the horse was cremated.
 Sun, Moon and Rainbow Seen.
 Following the recent rains, last Saturday and Sunday turned out very hot and the eclipse of the moon that was very clear here was an item of interest for the men. The moon seems bigger and brighter here than it did back home and the same holds true of the eclipse, but newspaper &C., counts from New Britain show us that the home folks were also treated to this same phenomenon. Friday gave us the unusual novelty of seeing the sun, moon and a giant rainbow in the sky at the same time.
 Men are now beginning to take some pride in the outward and in

Nogales, Arizona,

NOgaleS, Arizona, July 13.
 Since my last correspondence mailed to New Britain last Friday l have come to realize what the ter rife heat here can do to anyone who defes it. So don't blame Uncle Sam s mail system. Since I wrote the First Connecticut Regiment has moved it's camp about four miles to the west ward of it's former position and is now located on a wide plateau com manding a grand view of the section west of Nogales. The present camp is on much higher land than the old site and is within a few hundred yards of the international line. The plateau is broad enough to accom- modate both Connecticut regiments.
 Co. I Guards Boundary.
 To fully appreciate the close proX- unity of the Connecticut men to the bronzed cattle thieves across the bor- der, it might be of interest to state that Company I did twenty-four hours of guard duty exactly on the line. The Company I men protected wood road along which all the Mex ican and Indian raiders came to this side Sergeant Ezekiel had charge of the men on outpost duty and has given me brief account of some of the incidents that either amused or annoyed the boys
 This country has jackasses galore. In fact it abounds in the little gray beasts and they are so troublesome that they can bother an excited or nervous guard all night. Three or four of these little jacks, with voices like a German band, together with numerous other crawley and sQueaky things that infest the earth and air around here, kept up a constant chor- us all night and for hours the boys from New Britain were sweating blood, every minute expected to see PanchO Villa or some other blood thirsty villain dash in upon them. These few hours of guard duty gave the men some little idea of the ter rible state of excitement that must have existed along the border duripg the raiding of several months ago.
 All along the bill side across the border can be seen numerous Mex ican trenches and evidences of former military activities are everywhere cV!-

Tests the Wear of Cloth.

A machine for testing the wearing
quality of cloth has been produced in
Bradford, England. 1t may be found
of interest to American firms which
manufacture, sell or use textile fab
RIGS. Relative wearing qualities OF
different pieces of cloth may be de-
termined by placing them in the ma
chine and giving them a uniform
number of rubs, perhaps two hundred
each. This makes it possible to COM
pare one kind of cloth with it's iml-
tation, or to compare samples OF the
same character from different mills.
A piece of cloth is clamped in a
rigid jaw and passes over rubbine
surface formed by dull blades set in
a cylinder. This cylinder makes one
revolution clockwise, then one in the
opposite direction, and this is record
ed by a counter as one rub. The
other end of the cloth is clamped to
a roller, on which is placed the quad
rant, from which any number OF
weights can be suspended, and thus
put the cloth in tension. The ma
chine can be driven by an electric
motor. When the cloth is worn
through the machine automatically
