RIGHT MEN ARE PLENTY Largest Recruiting Station In United States It In New York City Mar i rled Men Not Deildable, aa a Rule 'I Few Apply Applicant Must Be Twenty-One. Just at the present time I'ncle Sara 'n very particular about whom he ac- pis for enlistment In the army, Hays . io New York News. Only the flow " of American munhood and such el- hie young men of foreign extraction t have declared their Intention of otomlng citizens are accepted now. '1 he reason for this Is that the army is made attractive e.iough to Induce the right kind of me:, to enter t;iu ser Tlce of the Government. In the first plnco, the pay Id far higher than in any foreign military service, and the chances of promotion are greater. Another reason Is that, the Government can get all the men it requires for the army Is the chance of foreign service. That is a good drawing card with many young men Who want to see the world. Applicants for enlistment must ba between the ages of twenty-one ami thirty-five years, of good character and temperate habits, able-bodied, free from disease, and able to speak, read and write the English language. The right kind of men are aiuindnnt. Bo that the recruiting officer can take his pick of the many applicants. The latter are from all the var Until walks of life, and include im'cliunics, newspapermen, clerks, lawyers, and sometimes men of Independent for tune, who enter the service from lovo of it. Occasionally a young sprig of no bility, having for some reason of hiu own left his ancestral homo In Ej:;c enlists. Very few married men enter the army. They are only taken upon the approval of a regimental commai.dur or other competent authority. Very few are chosen. In the Infuntry, coast artillery an 1 engineers the minimum height Is five feet four inches, with weight not over 190 pounds, or less than 121 pounds. For the cavalry and field aruKkry the height must not be less than five feet four or not more than five feet ten Inches; with weight not over 1G8 pounds. The chest measurement miiot be proportionate to the height and weight. After the recruit has passed the rulsite medical examination, and is xepted, he Is sent to Fort Slocum l Long Island Sound. Here he la rjght the first rudiments of the Rol ler's profession. In what Is com .aonly known as the "awkward squad" the recruit Is instructed how to stand and walk erect. Having attained a certain amount of instruction, he Is passed on to the regiment to which he ha. been as signed. Here his military education is continued for about a year. By this time he Is supposed to be a com petent soldier. ' All enlisted men receive. In addi tion to the regular pay, rations, cloth ing and medical attendance. There la also a chance for a careful man to save money on his clothing allowance. The rates of pay are varied and range from $13 per month for privates and $34 for sergeants and $00 for chief musicians. . Besides that a private has the opportunity to rise to the rank of second lieutenant, at $125 por month. In some branches If the service men with trades get Increased pay, varying from $1 to $5 per month more than the private. The corporal's pay 1b $15 per month; that of sergeant $18; first sergeant, $25; sergeant-major, $;t4; battalion sergeant-major, $U8. Ia the Hospital and Signal corps the pay is higher. For instance, the prl Tate in the Hospital Corps is paid $10, llrst class private, $18; corporal, $20; ergeant, $25; first class sergeant, $45. In the Signal Corps the private's pay is $13 and $17; corporals and cooks, $20; sergeants, $34 and $45, and master signal electrician. $75. For foreign service such as the Phil ippine Islands, Guam, Alaska, China and Panama, the men get an Increase of 20 por cent on the regular rates of pay. When a man re-enlists after the expiration of his term of three years, IX within three months of the date of His discharge, he gets an Increase of $1 for the month for the first year, $2 for the second, $3 for the next, and thereafter $12 per month additional trorn tho sixth to the tenth years of service. After the tenth year the in crease is $1 per month for each suc cessive five years. The soldier can deposit his savings and draw interest at the rate of 4 por eent. Theso deposits are nonforfeit able, except for desertion. All money saved from the clothing allowance is paid to him on his discharge from the ervice. After twenty years' service, honor ably discharged men are entitled to admission to the Soldiers' Home at Washington. After thirty years' ser vice they can be retired on three fcurths of the monthly pay and $9.50 fer month additional for clothing and subsistence. Foreign Newspapers. About 1,500 newspapers and period fcwtfs are published in Berlin at the v: etit time. Among these are about t lioHtlcal dallle-s, 30 suburban pa yvrs, 32 political and social-political aiMftls, over 60 comlo papers, and r 40 women's Journals dealing' w)lth the "Feminist" movement ' MAKING GLASS EYES. Price Reasonable New Eye Required After Two Years' Wear. One would not suppose the demand for artificial eyes greot enough to war rant the erection of vast manufactur- ! ing plants, big retail establishments and distributing depots, yet the manu facture of glass eyes has developed into a great Industry, and the output is no greater than the demand. j Tho method of making glass eyes requires not so much the artisan's ! skill as the ability of the artist. A ' specially prepared glass that comes in long opaque tubes, as big in circum ference as an average sized cane is used, and the coloring is done with long glass pencils. These are cut in to three or four Inch lengths, each di vision sufficient for one eye. The length Is held over an Intensely hot fire and drawn out at both ends to long slim points. The bulb in the center Is then enlarged slightly and one point Is cut off. To color it is the next and most delicate part of the manufacturer's work. The Iris Is the first part col ored. A body color is applied. This is followed by the pupil, after whlcn the tiny veins are worked out. All this Is worked over the white body, or sclerotic coat, and most eyes are then complete, Some, however, are enameled before they are sent out of the factory. Theso are dipped in to a cruciblo filled with enamel. An intense fire kept burning beneath the vcs3el, requires that the crucible be mad of platinum. At tho end of two years tho enamel is generally worn off. The Irritation the caused by tho eyelid rubbing against the unenanieled glass neces sitates a change, and a new artificial eye has to bo procured. The idea that a glass eye can be moved by the optical muscles Is er roneous. If it moves at all it Is mere ly a result of the action of the eyelid. The price of artificial eyes Is ex tremely reasonable. From $5 to $10 cover most cases, nnd it U only a "made to order" case that Is expen sive. Even then $.10 is the outside price. New York News. Warsaw's Woes. Warsaw has been having an excit ing time of late, but, according to what Is written, Warsaw ought to be used to it,, for that city has experi enced many a doleful time in Its long and checkered history. That history reaches far back into the mists of mediaeval centuries. A certain Duke Conrad erected a castle on tho site of the present city In the ninth cen tury. Since then wars and battles have been plentiful thereabouts. War saw is beautifully situated in a gently undulating, fertile plain, for the most part on the left bank of the navigable Vistula river, 404 miles eart of Berlin. It is defended by nearly twenty de tached f rts. Tho main city lies close to the river and Is closely built. The streets are regularly laid out, except in the old city, where its ancient houses are quaint and its thorough fares are crooked and narrow. There are eleven gales, beyond which lie the new suburbs. The old Polish no bility loved display aud there are more than 1G0 palaces, of which six ty have been confiscated by the Rus sian government. Today Warsaw is a big town. In 1897 its inhabitants numbered C38, 208, about one-third being Jews. Ger mans form a considerable portion of the population and the Russian garri son comprises over 30,000 soldiers. Although Warsaw has lost its politi cal importance, it is increasing its prestige in all other directions. It is still the gay, active metropolis of Po land, whose literature and art it dom inates. Warsaw's industrial impor tance, though considerable now. Is of comparatively recent growth. It has hundreds of establishments employ ing thousands of men. It is a great railway center and the chief distribut ing point for a vast and fertile dis trict. Warsaw's artisans have always been keenly alive to their national wrongs. They are most patriotic as a race and the result has been succes sive outbreaks against the rule of Rus sia. There Is turn have brought about successive and wholesale deportations of the workers, which have tended to retard Warsaw's growth, but have nev er been able to stop it. In 18G3 the Russian government un dertook to crush the spirit of rebel lion that permeated all classes of so ciety. Executions, confiscation and exile to Siberia were In order on an unheard-of scale. High schools and scientific societies were closed and the monasteries and nunneries were emptied. Hundreds of Russians were called in to fill up the vacant posts and the Russian language was made obligatory as far as was possible. The very name of Poland was expung ed from official writings and Russian tribunals administrative institutions were introduced. Work Without Pay. In his "History of Coal Mining," R. W. Galloway points out that what ap pear to be traces of a primitive state of servitude existed in Staffordshire, where the laborers employed In the haulage of coal continued to be known as "bondsmen" a name probably coming down from a remote period; a supposition which receives support from a peculiar service required of Ithem, known as "bulldases." This consisted in working at times in the morning without receiving any pay ment beyond a drink of ale. This oustom of exacting labor without pay is supposed to represent some ancient service required from their tenants ! by the monks of the Abbey of Build was, in Shropshire, whenec the name was derived. I hi in His Method Differs From Those of Old Prospectors. DRILL USED IN THE WORK Great Cost Sometimes Incurred In Projects Preliminary to Opening Mine Chemical Laboratory Car ried by Pack Animals Maps Drawn on the Spot. The yield from the gold mines has Increased 60 per cent in less than a decade. In seeking the reasons for this truly demarkable development one Is especially prominent the great advance which has been made Jn the methods followed by the modern gold seeker. The prospectors, says the Sci entific American, have taken advan tage of progress In geology, chemistry and other sciences and have pro vided themselves with mechanical aids which are far superior to the crude implements employed by the metal hunters of the past. In the examination of rook for metal bearing ore, the arrastra of the Mex icans and Spaniards has been used extensively, especially In California aud Oregon. This contrivance con sists of a vertical shaft or axis, which supports several wooden bars fastened at right angles to it. To the ends of the bars are attached heavy tint stones, which, by the movement of tho axis, revolve In a circular pit, a stream of water Is turned upon them and the arrastra placed In motion by animal or water power. The ore Is resolved into a slimy sediment by being ground in the water and passes oil through the sluiceway, which Is provided with rlllles for catching tho gold. The modern methods for searching for desposlts of precious metal are so radically different from those describ ed that it may be Bald a revolution has taken place in prospecting In the United States. In tho Rocky Mountain region the formation has been pierced as far as 2.0U0 feet in the effort to as certain the existence of a vein. Among the mechanical appliances which have been of great assistance to the modern prospector Is the drill. With it he can make borings in a week where, If a shaft were sunk, a year would be needed. If the forma tion is to be examined by a shaft, however, the cost of sinking it is re duced to a minimum by means of ex plosive cartridges, which are now manufactured especially for such ser vice. Few expeditions of any size are sent out without an experienced geologist, who Is usually provided with maps and other data giving the best infor mation available regarding the region to be explored. Besides the geologist, the services of an expert chemist are also of great Importance and a laboratory in min iature is contained In the packs car ried by the animals. So complete is this portion of the equipment that a fairly correct field analysis can be made of the specimens secured by the use of the drill or by the other pros- pecting tools. If the outcropping of a quartz vein Is discovered, enough is broken off to allow its character to be studied both from a geological and a chemical standpoint. After examining it In connection with the formation in the vicinity, the geologist is often able to indicate where the surface can be bored with the possibility of reaching the ore bearing stratum at once. The value of the ore from the out cropping and that from the Interior can be approximately determined by the chemist. To crush the ore Is a slight undertaking, and with the lead which he has brought along the ma terial can be readily fused in a port able furnace. In fact, he has the es sentials for making a "dry assay" on a limited scale, for cupels are now made of such light weight that they can readily be carried on muleback. In the outfit of the modern pros pector quicksilver has become prac tically indispensible. Its affinity for gold makes it a most valuable agent. Where the existence of placer gold u imagined, the Introduction of mer cury into the test washer soon solves the problem and avoids the use of rif fles and other crudo appliances which were formerly dependent upon almost entirely. After crushing the speci mens of test ore, the quicksilver can also be used to ascertain the quantity of free gold among the particles. As the mercury can be eliminated by heating the composition to a sufficient ly high temperature, It is now utilized' In large quantities by the modern prospector. Taking the ingot of lead and of pre cious metal he can easily oxidize the lead by placing It in his cupel and heating the latter to the required tem perature in an oven constructed of ma terial which he can obtain in the vi cinity. With his nitric acid he sepa rates the silver which may remain,, leaving the gold only to be tested for its value. The proportion of the gold to a given quantity of ore can be de termined by his scales, but by using his touchstone or black basalt he can detect the quality of the gold by the color which this substance makes when drawn over the surface of the metal. Herd of Buffalo In Oklahoma. Ranch 101 in the Ponca reservation has purchased from a halftireed In dian at Missoula, Mon., a herd of twenty fullblood buffaloes and will maintain them for breeding purposes. Probably the largest fullblood buf falo in the United States is now on the ranch. It was purchased from "Pawnee Bill," and when in good llesh last summer weighed 2,200 pounds. Kansas City Journal. EARLY ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE First Really Built 75 Years Ago In ventor Died Without Reward. It Is generally supposed that the electric locomotive Is of recent Inven tion. Comparatively young men can remember the first electric cars which were operated for public use, and It will surprise many to learn that the invention which has led up to the splendid developments of today is three-quarters of a century old. Thero lived in Brandon, Vt, In the year 133 i. a blacksmith of the name of Thomas Davenport. He was not only a good smith, but a man of ad vanced thought, and possessed of a re markable genius for experimenting on various lines; and In this year he con structed a model electric motor car which ran upon a few feet of circu lar track and was actuated by a gal vanic battery. This was the first electric locomo tive ever built. At that time Steven son's first steam locomotive had been in operation only about ten years. This model was exhibited at Spring field, Mass., and later at Boston, and its priority Is unquestioned. There was a vast difference In tho conditions under which these two trac tors one of steam and the other of electric were born, a difference which delayed the development of the electric locomotive for half a century and gave the steam locomotive a start toward a magnificent development which has only Just been overtaken by Its rival. When Stevenson built his engine his power (steam) was readily available. Its capacities were understoond and its production was comparatively easy. Ills locomotive was invented when the power was ripe for it. Da venport, on the other hand, was far ahead of his time and died without no tice or reward. His memory has been unhonorcd up to this day, but the de velopment of his idea made seventy five miles an hour two weeks ago. Ills locomotive was invented when his power (electricity) was little under stood and was obtainable only from a few small battery cells, useful sole ly for laboratory experiments. No method of obtaining electrical energy, force, or power from any source but these batteries was thought of until thirty years later. In 18C1 nn Italian named Pacinotti, invented the dynamo the machine which, connected to a steam engine or other power producer, generates an electric current without the use of batteries, the machine which has made possible electric lighting, elec trict traction and electric power for all mechanical purposes. When the dynamo was first intro duced only one-half of Its capabilities were understood. The Inventor had produced a machine more powerful and more magical than he himself sus pected it. It was known that It could bo installed In nn engine room aud its current used for electric lighting; but the fact that Its current could be car ried over wires and used to operate cars miles away was not known or acted upon for nearly twenty years. The minds of men during this period were engrossed in the perfection of the dynamo and tho problems of arc and Incandescent lighting and the railway motor was uNerly neglected. In 1S79 Messrs. Siemens and llalske of Germany built at tho Berlin Exhi bition an electric railway about one third of a mile in length with a lo comotive drawing three cars carrying twenty people. This was the first practical motor ever shown. It was followed the next year by another fr6n the same works, which was put in operation at tho Zankerode mines. This was the first electric locomotive in the history of the world to "earn its own living." Still, a year later, the same firm equipped a railroad from Berlin to Llcbtenfelde, a distance of one and a half miles. This was tho first electric railway for public ser vice and It was an operative finan cial success from the start. And then the world awoke to the possibilities of the new system. Very few engineers are bold enough to say that they know the limitations of the electric current; very many ad mit their own limitations as to the control of the giant. The question as to Its availability for locomotive power is settled. No steam locomotive has ever been built to develop three thousand horsepower. The questions of conducting the current over long distance trunk lines and the economy of operation are yet to be settled. I Slaughter of Squirrels In Scotland. The slaughter of 3,988 squirrels by tie Ross-shire Squirrel Club during the past year is part of the war that has long been waged in various parts of Scotland. At one time the squirrel bade fair to become extinct in that country, but the afforestation of the latter part of the eighteenth century saved it, and helped it to develop to the proportions of a plague. Tho squirrel has a passion for the young shoots of trees, and its nibbling is apt to stunt the tree's growth, flr buds and bark suffering particularly. And so hearts are hardened against the squirrel, in spite of its pretty ways and name which, literally, means "little shady tail," being a diminutive of the Latin "soiurus," which is slm I ply Greek Latinised. The Greeks cbubu mo Bnuirrui snany lair just as they called the cat "wavy tall" all ouros. New York Globe. Devils Were Plentiful. In ancient and mediaeval times it was supposed that devils were count less in number. Accordlr. to a writer j the TalmudlstB used to assort that j there were 7,405,920 devils. One old I authority on the subject affirmed that ) every human being has 1,000 devils I on bis right hand and 10,000 on his 1 left in ij mil As a Result More and More of Them Break Down. ALL CLASSES AFFECTED Tremendous Increase In the Mortality From Heart Disease Temperate Habits, Sufficient Rest, Exercise In Fresh Air and Freedom From Anxiety Best Safeguards. "Bad whiskey, rheumatism, mental strain and high living are among the leading causes of heart disease," said Dr. Henry P. Loouils lu the New York Sun. "A chart sent out by the Health Bourd, which Illustrates the steady increase in mortality from heart dis ease lu this city since 1808, and it in cludes a table of figures of deaths resulting from Bright's disease aud heart disease combined, and shows that In 18H8 13 persons out of every 10, out) died from the causes named. In 1901 the proportion had Jumped up to 30 In every lO.OUU, or more than double. "There are cases of heart disease which are not complicated with Bright's disease," continued Dr. Loomls, "but It Is not often that a sufferer from Bright's disease Is free from heart trouble. "Many cases of heart disease oro directly traceable to mental strain and high living, tho heart being indirectly affected through other organs. "in nine cases out of ten well, no, that's putting it too strongly, perhaps; I would sny rather the majority of the cases of heart disease which come under my notice are due to rheumatism in many forms. "Heart disease is not an ailment confined to one class. It is fatal alike to rich and poor. Persons with a ten dency to rheumatism, who are subject to frequent attacks of rheumatism, do much harm often by lighting the at tacks instead of giving up to them." "How give up to them?" the doc tor was asked. "By going to bed at once and stay ing there till the disease yields; by avoiding exposure and remaining In nn even temperature. Naturally the shorter the attack the less strain there is on tho heart. "Certain forms of throat trouble common to children are indicative of rheumatism and they should be treat ed accordingly; that is, the patient 6hould observe the proper precau tions. It is safer for a person inclin ed to rheumatism to wear flannels the year round and use every preventa tive to stave off attacks of the dis ease if he wants to keep his heart in good working order. "It is true, of course, that one may have heart disease and yet not be afflicted with rheumatism, and vice versa. Speaking generally, I would say that lu the case of the rich, I be lieve that rich food and lack of proper exercise, excessive drinking and a persistent mental strain are the main causes for heart disease. "Tho strenuous life plus mental anx iety Is in these days almost Irrevoc ably associated with the upper classes. I don't think, though, that there Is any increase In drinking among the rich, in fact, I believe Just the re verse; and the rich man has this in his favor he at least can drink good liquor when he drinks at all. "With the poorer classes it Is dif ferent. The great army of mechanics, drivers, and laborers who work out of doors are more or less a prey to heart disease, not only because of prolonged exposure, which fosters Ills which in turn weaken the heart, but because of the drinking habit, which Is otten ncqulred In consequence of this ex posure. Hurry Is bad, but not nearly so fatal as worry and fret to a weak heart." The Mexican Cactus. The most hated cactus in America is tho cholla. Tho Mexicans say that If a person goes near a cholla Joint It will Jump at him. Certainly If one Is touched it will stick and when you try to free yourself it will pierce your other hand as well. Each pendent Joint seems to reach out for the pass erby and the ground beneath the broad cholla tree Is strewn with fallen fragments, many of which take root and grow. After one has felt the sharp spines through heavy boots and Been their needle points, it ia a source of continual wonder to see the wild cattle of Arizona quietly browBlng in chollas. During the years of drouth thousands of cattle carry themselves over until the next grass by eating chollas. With ther leathery tongues and lips they strip the spiny Jolntsl from the trunk and leave the wide spreading cactus a bare and woody skeleton. Gormandizing at 8ea. (Menu of the New Cuuard Liner.)

HEALTH RESORT FALLACIES. It is no Infrequent thing says turltcr In Journal of Outdoor Life, of Suronac Lake, N. Y for physicians at health resorts to get letters with passages in them such aa this: "The man has no money but Is strong and fully ablo to work. He would like to get some light work out-of-doors aud would even be willing to work for a time for his board." It Is astonishing to see how sick a man can be and yet consider himself and be considered by others as "fully able to work." In some Instances ho has high fever and should be at rest In bed; but he and his friends think he could drive an express or delivery wagon or do some other "light" work. In most instances such light work Is all that Is neces sary to Insure for him long months of convalescence from a few weeks or even days of over-exertion. There Is no question but that evorr patient Is better off, no matter how slightly his lung may be affected, if he can by any means whatsoever avoid working for the first two or throe months spent at a health resort. It is a curious thing, but when a patient does this. In the majority of cases some avenue seeing to open by which he can obtain sufficient moans to en able him to remain Idle a sufficient length of time to Insure a restoration to a certain amount of health. The darkest time is usually Just before dawn and this seems to bo true of the obscurity which overhangs many In valids. Another point which many seem to forget id the fact that easy positions In all health resorts are quickly filled by those who arc on the ground. It Is no exaggeration to say that In the average health resort thero are ten applicants for every position. A new comer thinks, of course, he has little or no trouble. He readily Imagines that all people In health resorts are 111 and much worse than himself and that he alone is ablo to work. He little realizes that thero are many already ut the health resort who have been there years and have been trying to get a good, suitable position, and have been unable to do so. Where Titles Cause Trouble. Some dollars and much gratitude will be the portion of that writer who produces a standard brochure on how to properly address exalted persons from foreign lunds as well as native olficials .and dignitaries. Even men supposed to be well-informed frequent ly are embarrassed because they do not know the correct procedure. In Washington thure are half a doz en different rules covering this mat ter, and much confusion. Present usa;e makes It correct to address the Chief Executive as "Mr. President" All :he Cabinet officers are called "Mr. Secretary," "Mr. Attorney General." or "Mr. Postmaster General," and the same holds true in regard to tho Jus tices of the Supreme Court and the heads of the two legislative bodies. Officially, the Ambassadors and Min isters are dubbed plain "Mr. Ambas sador," or "Mr. Minister," though a few iudivduals who like high-sounding appellations insist that "Your Excel lency" lu u more elegant nnd polite method of addressing the venerable numbers of the corps. Wfcen foreign princes visit this land of freedom the Stato Department mall Is swarmtd with cries for help from Governors, Mayors of cities, and even from private Individuals who would like to extend hospitalities. But the most amusing appeal came to the Sec retary of State when the Archbishop of Canterbury and Mrs. Thomas Dv vldnon were visiting this country. It emanated from a woman of Boston, wfcj represented a powerful church association which wanted to honor the helpmate of the prelate. She asked' specifically how she should word her Invitation and Just what women would: say on being presented. "Some of our ladies maintain," went on the letter, "thai it would be correct to say 'Your Grace,' since she shares all her husband's honors Others as sert that it should be Mrs. Archbishop, while a number agree with me, that it will cover the entire premises to say 'I am honored to meet you, Madaaa Canterbury.' "'. Negroes Using Cocalnev The police of Jackson attribute the recent outbreak of crime in that cltjr and vicinity to the Increased use of cocaine by negroes. Untll a year ago the drug was unknown among then. Its consumption has now reached daa gerous proportions and its users have) become Idlers. They are indifferent to punishment. The authorities are discussing crusade against the sale of the druc and it Is probable that some drastic measures may be put in force to pre vent its use among the negroes. The crusade will probably be run In cosy nectlon with the war of vagrants now being waged by the Police Depart ment New York World. Passenger Coaches in England. Third-class passenger coaches la England used to be coupled on nest to the engine. The travelers came on for terrible treatment when any ac cident occurred. At times the engine was driven tender first, In which cas frozen hands oould be wanned at Its smokestack. The passengers were) packed, seventy of them, into a truck eighteen feet In length by seven and a half in width. There was no roof and not as a rule, proper protection at the Bides. At the beginning of 1904 telegraph lines in Spain had reached the fol lowing extension: Overhead wires. 18,170 miles; underground cables, 65 miles; submarine cables, 2,044 miles. Public telephones Installed by private compunloB numbered 16,003. The pub lic lines directed by the government were 10 In number. V
