Followed some quiet years of
army life in California and Georgia,
and then in 1898 Wood was ordered
to Washington to become assistant
attending surgeon, his duties being
those of medical adviser to army Of
ficers and their families, physician
to the Secretary Of War and, In
company with the navy surgeons,
medical attendant Of the President.
1t was not a place that appealed
to an active, out-of-doors man, and
it did not seem to hold out much
promise OF military career. Yet it
gave him an opportunity to become
intimately acquainted with Presl-
dents Cleveland and Mckinley. 1t
also gave him the opportunity to
meet Theodore Roosevelt.

MEN OF SCIENCE PUZZLED
Find Il Hard to Account for the
Erratie Movements Of Deep
Water Fish.

The erratic movements OF fish are
a constant source of worry to scien-
lists. who. try rs they will. can never
account for the vagaries of these sea-
dwellers. Here Is II case in point: In
May. 1870. the fishing schooner Hutch
ings, sailing from Gloucester. Mass.
was under the command Of Captain
Kirby, trawling for cod or Nantucket.
A strange fish came up in the nets. q
large creature covered with yellow
spots. The men caught over two tons
and brought them to land. where they
were found to be an entirely new fam
lily. Scientists named them 'tile ilsh."
for three years. till 1882. the fish were
caught In huge numbers. then the
bankers" reported that they were NO
longer to be seen. The news came that
the sea was covered with dead tile
fish. Six thousand square miles OF sea
were almost hidden by the dead bodies.
Authorities said that there must have
been volcanic disturbance or else
some deadly disease had killed OF the
fish. In 1915 schooner working in
the same waters caught the tile fish in
abundance, and to this day the fish
are there In millions.

THIS LIFE MERE PATCHWORK
Pleasant to Think That In the by-and-
BY All Things viii Have
Full Completion.

Life at best seems only patchwork.
By the time the artist learns to paint
a picture which is considered worth
while, his hand has become shaky,
nervous or palsied and he cannot paint
the thing in his heart for which, all
his life. he had been preparing. BY
the time the business man has earned
enough money to keep him In comfort
for the rest of his days he has often
lost the capacity to enjoy the fruits Of
his labor. When the mother has raised
her boy to manhood her offspring
leaves her for the sake Of someone
he loves better. and BY the time the
man learns to really appreciate his
mother she Is taken from him. Moth
Ing seems ever quite finished, quite
mature. quite as 1t should be In this
world. Perhaps in the by-and-by on
another planet we shall all find that
every incomplete thought and work
Of our lives has been fitted into the
completed temple Of life which we
may then inhabit forever.-LOs An
