Our Western cavnlrymen are keep ingup their reputation for hard riding, notes the St. Louis Republic. The Third cavalry traveled in all 18,000 miles last year, chiefly scouting on the western border, and one troop of the regiment, fl troop, covered as high ns eighty-five miles in one day, the longest day's march made in 18!)3 by any soldier of the United States army. Last year's record, seventy-eight miles, was achieved by the same smart company in tho Garza campaign in southern Texas. Tho annual register of tho War Department shows that our conntry is cot in such a state of military help lessness as might be imagined from the numerical strength of tho regular army, remarks tho New York News. It lias often been intimated abroad, and very truthfully, that the army of the United States would hardly make a complete picket lino for one of the great armies of Europe. Rut we have a national guard of more than n hun dred thousand soldiers. This body, in case of need, would quickly form the nucleus of an army that would amaze, Em-ope.

Experience shows that they could very quickly doff the habili ments of peace and don -Ue grim equipments of war. j The Cosmopolitan Magazine offers a prize of $500 to any Cue who can, within the present year, make a sug gestion or perform an experiment that will throw some light on the nature ol gravitation. Tho Boston Journal of Commerce says of the offer: "Here is tho chance for every mcchanio to take home with him a piece of load stone and go to work evenings and study out how it can draw so many needles and pins to its surface without having anything to draw with. If the least hint ran be obtained as to the working of even a two-cent magnet the nature of gravitation will follow in the same vein, for they both have got a knack that no mortal man hat caught on to." It is an interesting problem, in any event, concludes the Atlanta Constitution, and the means for it attempted solution ore cheap enough. Anybody can afford to buy "a two-cent magnet" with the prospect of winning $.'00 by tho nse of it in his leisure hours.
