Natives say that the season is be-

rantulas and other dread things are
more numerous than at any other time
of the year. While coming into camp
today Capt. Oliver c. Terry, command
ing the Signal Corps, ran across a big
snake which he killed with rocks. Of
ficers of the Field Hospital captured a
big fellow this afternoon while on a
rlue. They were about to kill 1t when
Private kotobra, who was orderly,
asked permission to catch it alive. With
apparently no fear Of danger he lifted

peal was filed on August IS. Previous

Big Appropriation for Ship.

So at last after many years of con-
slant endeavor on the part Of the Navy
Department, Congress has appropriated
two and a half million dollars for the
construction of a hospital ship in an
months Dr. r. c. HoIcomb of the bu-
Teau of medicine and surgery of the de-
partment, has been cooperating with

eclipse in ship construction and hos
pital facilities anything that the world
had ever produced before.
In the first place. the vessel Is to be
furnished with several stabilizers, so
that she will roll as little as possible
vide. with a capacity Of 900 patients in
peace time and 500 in war time. In ad-
dition to this. there are several special
consulting rooms, where out-patients
day patients may come and receive
treatment One of these is in connec-
ton with the eye, ear and throat equip
ment, which is to be as complete as
any TO be found in city hospital A
soundproof room for testing the hear
ing is given in the plans, well as d
dark room for testing the eyesight. An
A-rsy room. where patients may be ex-
amined for internal injuries, will be in
cluded. with a similar room for the de-
Nelopment of the Photographic plates.
The wards are divided up into special
classes for the treatment of special dis

Among its preparedness perquisites
the American navy is to have new

have just been completed by the bureau

Department, where they are exciting
great deal of interest among naval

IN var,ous stages of usefulness have

Years the navy has been laboring under
diftjculties in the matter OF hospital Ia

at her DISPOSAL one Of which is well

and the other a frail craft. which is too
aged to be removed from the Philippine
waters where 1t was stationed some
years ago.
The navy needs more hospital facil-
tiles not only as preparatory measure
against war. but for the purpose of
taking care of its large personnel in
time of peace. AS one naval authority
says:
'The navy has a big floating popula-
