 The following is ap interesting in- stance of the reversed aef the or1i- nary. course of nature that cost an English market gardener dear:
 Watercress is eagerly deyoured by caddis worms, and oaddis worms are favorite food of tEeut. The trout in turn have g voracto4s enemy in her ons, which catch the fish after they have grown fat den acaddis worms. Now, in the case referred to, it hap pened that a large grower of water cress had three-quaFters of his crop ruined by the ravages of caddis worms On investigation it WAS found that the trout, which ordinarily protected the plants from the worms, had been devoured ahead of time, so to speak, by flock of hungry herons, which, in thus reyefsi:lg the course of events, had brought disaster to the, owner of the watercress.

Washington, May 14.-The conferees
on the army reorganization bill Satur-
day agreed on all Cheir points of diff
ference and the bill will be reported
to the House probably on Monday. The
result of the long conference is bill
providing a force of $4,000 men at
war strength. counting the regulars.
the National Guard, the Philippine
scouts. the signal corps, medical corps,
quartermaster corps, and unassigned
enlisted men. The maximum peace
fighting strength of the regular army
alone. excluding these auxiliaries,
would be $4,000 men, and this could
be increased under executive order by
an additional % per cent, or 1880
men in time of national emergency.
The final result, though involving
important concessions to the pacifist
sentiments of the House. is regarded
as q substantial victory for the advo-
Gates OF preparedness. Senator Cham
berlain of Oregon, chairman of the
Senate committee on military affairs,
who has been working on the bill for
nearly q year, is highly gratified at the
outcome.
1t is not doubted that both House
will accept the conference report, and
the way will then be clear for the
army appropriation bill, which will
make the reorganization effective. The
measure agreed on Saturday provides
that the increases shall come in five
yearly increments, about the limit pos
sible under voluntary enlistments.
Enlistment Is 7 Years
The present law provides a maximum
for the army which is rarely attained,
ard no minimum. Saturdays confer
ence agreement fixes a minimum Of
900 fighting regulars, below which
will be the duty of the war depart
This may be increased to a peace max
imum Of $4,000. Besides this in peace
there will be 5733 Philippine scouts,
64O9 Of the quartermaster corps, 1900 OF
the medical corps, 1887 Of the signal
corps, and $3.50 unassigned enlisted
men, a total of 206. 1863 men in peace.
The important Senate organization
plan is retained, so that this force may
be increased by executive order with
out congressional action to abous 254,-
600 men.
The enlistment term is fixed at seven
years, three to be served with the colors
and four in the reserve, with a further
provision that men with a rating of Eek
cellent" may be transferred to the re-
serves at the end Of one year. This sys-
tenn of enlistment when in full operation
would provide reserve of one and one
third the color strength of the army
so that if the color strength of the fight
ing force was 175.OOO, the reserves would
be $4,000 trained men.

ICE HOUSE SAVED
BY TUG SEGUIN
RAISING ALARM

A series of short toots from the tug
boat Seguln, just after she had passed
through the draw Oh her way up
stream Sunday brought several resi-
dents in the vicinity of the Chelsea ice
house to their doors. The men on the
tug shouted to them that the run at
the Chelsea ice house was on fire. A
crew was soon collected and c. E.
Clark notified. On reaching the wharf
1t was seen that the piling was on fire
and the legs of the elevator COM
mencing to burn. Quick work subdued
the flames after they had run up
about seven feet on the brace work Of
the elevator. Had the fire been dis
covered few mono nts later would
have been one less ice house on the
banks of the Kennebec The damage
was slight.
