Strength of an Indian Beetle.

carrying stone weighing nearly half
a pound.
But how the feelers could stand the

fashion for about forty YARDS and
how the legs could retain their hold
of heavy stone which they could not
encompass cannot conceive. The
length of the beetle was two and one

How Regiments Will be Numbered

The War department has authorIz
! ed the following:
A plan which will simplify the
numbering of regiments in our entire
service has been approved by the
Chief ot staff, the Adjutant General
and Secretary of War. Following
out this plan regiments will be mum.

service they represent, without refer
ence To the fact that particular
regiment belongs TO regular army,
national guard or national army
This decision leads the adjutant yen.
eral to withdraw a former recon.
'nendation made 10 this connection
and to indorse the new plan as the
most direct method available.
According to this ruling units will
20 into the service designated as
Twelfth Cavalry" "Sixty. sixth in
fantry," Ninth Artillery" etc. But
to avoid confusion each national
guard regiment will retain its present
designation in parenthescs. Thus,
taking the Porto Rico regiment for
instance, 10 will be designated as the
"Sixty-llfth infantry (P RI" and
the First Maine Infantry as the
sixty sixth Infantry (First Maine y"
Conforming with this policy the
National guard Infantry regim ents
would be numbered serially Ia ac-
cordance with the plan for the com
plete expansion OF that branch of the
service.
The numbers OF the national army
regiments would begin where the
national guard regiments left of, ~the
adjutant generals report reads.
