Value of MWire prauworkm

"Wire dragwork" is technical ex-
preston used in connection with the
making of coast surveys and the map
ping of ocean waters. Such surveys
are necessary in order TO chart the
routes of cOaStWiSe traffic and in max
ing them the ocean is dragged below
the surface to discover hidden dangers
to navigation. This is done with a
wire instrument constructed for this
purpose, and it sometimes disclOses
dangers unknown and unsupported be-
fore. The secretary of commerce says
in his annual report: "Onc of the rocks
discovered in Alaska is truly sort of
submerged Washington monument, ex-
cept that it is taller than the monu-
ment. 1t rises over 600 feet from the
bottom of the channel TO within II
feet of the surface. 1t is surrounded
by deep water on all sides and is now
located on our charts where 100 faith
oms 1884 feet) was formerly recorded.
The finding of this single pinnacle will
more than pay the cost through many
years of the entire wire-drag work on
all our coasts if it shall prevent a sin,
gle wreck theron"

CAPTAIN Was Young Woman.

There was, in the early days of the
last century, a certain Captain Alexan-
drov, attached to the Russian Royal
Uhlans. The captains name was real
" Nadeshda Durova. and "he" was a
young woman who, II the age Of six
teen, had enlisted in q Cossack regi-
ment. Nadeshda fought at Gustadt in
1907, where she routed a party of
French dragons. and carried q wound
ed officer away on her horse. She was
wounded nj Smolensk and Borodino,
and took part in the marrying of the
grand army in its retreat from Mos
COW. The Russian emperor, Alexan-
der, was privy to the secret of her sex,
and it was by his instructions that she
was always treated at court as captain
in the Royal Uhlans. Nadeshda re-
tired from military service at the age
Of twenty-five. and assumed the role
more appropriate to her sex. of q
writer of romances.

Best Words.

A loving word is always a safe word.
1t may, or it may not, be helpful
word to the one who hears it. but is
sure to be a pleasant memory 10 the
one who speaks it. Many a word
spoken by US is afterwards regretted
But there will never come into our
hearts at such a time 4 single pang
of regret over any word of impulsive
or deliberate affection which passed
our lips at any time. We have rea-
son to be on our guard in our speech
in most directions; but we can be
fearlessly free in our loving utter
ances. Apart from any question of
the good we do to others by our words
of love, we are personally the gain
ers, for now and hereafter, by every
such word which we speak out ex-
plicitly; and we are sure to be the
losers, now and by and by, from every
such word which we ought to have
spoken and failed to speak.-EX

was Approximately 40 feet. This means
that the shipments, il sent at one time,
would have required train long enough
to reach from New York to Chicago.
The engine Of such q train, sent from
New York to the South, would arrive
in Jacksonville, Fla, 4 few minutes aft
er the eaboosc passed through Phila
delphia. The cars and engines would
fill four tracks between New York and
Boston, or monopolize I'll space on a
ldouble track system between Boston
and Washington. The train would be
longer than the distance between Der

I il is not surprising that Americans have

How the Kangaroo Got Its Name.

When Captain Cook discovered Aus
tralia he sent his sailors ashore to buy
the body of an animal which he saw
in possession of the natives. After the
bargain was made the men tried to
find out the name of the animal. But
the natives, not being able to under
stand English, replied in their own
language: Kan CARGO" which meant,
II don't know" meaning that they did
not know what the men were talking
about. The sailors, however, thought
they had the answer to their question
and reported to their captain that the
animal was called a kangaroo, and SC
the poor kangaroo got name that
did not belong to him, and has had il
ever since.

Of incubation is very indefinite. vary
ing from n few weeks to several years
The average period in dogs is about
forty days The treatment discovered

requires about fifteen days to induce
an active immunity to the disease. Al

What the Tongue Can Do.

The tongue hath its ministry of
mercy and sympathy. Men cannot be
scOlded into love nor scourged into
goodness. What lashmgs can never do
soft words accomplish, asserts Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills. Fortunate, in
deed, the community that has few In
dividuals who go through life curing
sorrows. allaying discontents, healing
enmities, sweetening bitter fountains,
scattering happiness and goodwill
One such nature can influence an en-
tire community, just as one flower will
crowd q room with sweet odOrs.

MENINGITIS CONTROL
Cases acknowledgements Precau-
tons Taken.

The three thousand workmen of
the Fuller Construction company were
called into a conference by General
Wood last week and asked to assist in
helping to stop the spread of any dis
eases that may be in the camp. Gen
eral Wood made good use of his ex-
perience as an army surgeon, ex-
planning to the men the ways that the
spread of diseases could be stopped.
The men were asked to have a Gull
ture taken in order that any carriers
of meningitis could be discovered, and
the men agreed to have their nose
and throat examined as the doctors
prescribe.
I'VE are going to examine the whole
camp in an effort to find any car
riers' that may have escaped detec-
ton thus far. and it is necessary to
examine the civilians as well as the
soldiers in the camp" said General
Wood. I'VE are asking you to do
only that which the soldiers and Of
ficers are doing.
IF there are any carriers found
the person will be quarantined for
five days, his throat being sprayed
and the disease germs killed. No cpl
demic prevails here at this time, and
we do not desire one. Meningitis cases
have been reduced to a minimum, and
the deaths have been less than 80 per
cent Health officers have talked of
quarantining the camp, but we have
told them it was unnecessary.
you men must play the game with
the men that are here as officers and
soldiers, and must consider yourself
the same as the munition makers. You
are building barracks and othe,

FAME SPREADS
The An-Kansas 353rd Known in the
East.


The fame of the All-Kansas 353rd
Infantry has reached even as far as
New York City, as was shown by the
enlistment in the crack Kansas regi-
ment of Charles Fenster, who trav-
eIed nearly 1000 miles to become a
member of the Sunflower organiza-
ton.
Fenster heard of the 353rd through
his brother, Joseph Fenster, a Kan
sas boy who is first sergeant of Com
pany F. He also read about the ia
nous organization in the newspapers
and decided to come to Camp Fun
ston for a visit with his brother. AZ
ter he had been here a short time
he caught the Kansas patriotism and
decided he would like to be a men,
Der of the command. The matter
was taken up with Colonel James H
Reeves, commanding officer, and
Captain G. J. Masseck, adjutant. Fen
ster was accepted and assigned to
Headquarters company.
Fenster is way past the draft age
being SO years old. He has seen pre-
served three years in Company D, 18th
q. S. Infantry in the Philippines At
ter the Philippine trouble was settled
he went to New York where he Sc
cured a position as a fireman in the

Fenster's lucky date is the twenty

HORSES AND MULES
Methods and Plans for Handling Four
Footed Fighters.

Barracks, heating plants. eating es-
Establishments, bath houses and the
other necessities have not only been
arranged here for some 10000 but
the same has been provided for the
same number of horses and mules.
Just west of the reservation across
the Three Mile creek, is the canton
ment for the four legged fighters-it
is, of course, called the Remount sta
ton; nevertheless it is the recruiting
cantonment for the horses and mules
that are recruited from the terri
tory in this vicinity.
Like the necessity for men who can
do practically everything in ordinary
life. it is necessary to have mules and
horses that can do all sorts of work.
The light, muscular horse is most in
demand for he is the type that will be
used in the artillery work. The light
er horse, with the easy riding stride,
but quick, is used for saddle purposes.
The heavier type is used for heavy ar
tillery.
When horses or mules arrive at the
remount station the are inspected
and put under quarantine for twenty
one days, not because they have any
certain disease but to take precaution.
The animals are later classified and
separated. All of the animals are
branded with ''U. s." and the classi-
fication marks of "a" for the artil-
lery and IL" for a lead horse and
"W' for a wheel horse.
All horses and mules. sent to the
station are not thoroly broken and il
is necessary for Capt. w. H. Williams,
in charge of the remount station, to
have men who can handle the ones
that have forgotten they have been
broken. In this capacity Sergt. c.

NO SPOONING
Bunk Mates Must Sleep Alone and
Facing Out.

You can't sleep together any more
boys and you will have to have your
head turned the opposite direction
from the men on either side of your
bunk from now on. A general order
come from headquarters a few days
ago, which details the method of
sleeping for the men in the barracks
and explains that the reason is to
merely take another precaution
against the possible spread of any
contagious diseases.
Some of the men have been in a
habit of doubling up" at nights
two in bunk, SO that they could take
advantage of the double thickness of
blankets during the colder nights.
This method of sleeping is no doubt
warm, but there is possibility of the
bed partner passing along some mea-
sles, mumps or other contagious sick
ness
