To the speculative mind, none of the pos- sible future applications of electricity is more attractive, and none so full of imme- diate interest, as the possibility that seems almost within our grasp of obtaining Nght without heat, of making the light waves without the heat waves that have thus far always been at the same time the companion and the burden of all artificial light. The time is ripe, and the exact sci- ence of the day seems all but ready and willing to give the analysis of two great problems, the answer to either of which would stand the crowning achievement of a century of progress in the application of nature’s secrets 10 the acquirements of daily life. One of these—the navigation of the air—seems to be a mechanical problem only, while the other—the production of light without heat—we may as confidently say is only a question of properly handling the electric current. Nature presents us with beautiful examples of both solutions, but guards jealously the key to her method of operation, by which well-known forces are made to do the apparently impossible thing, and it is equally beyond our science today to explain how the bird soars aloft on motionless wing and how the glow worm emits a gleam of light without a ray of heat. But they do it, and the many imitators of the bird will soon be equaled in number by those who are chasing the firefly’s secret. advent: + ea Sa Pure food exposition every afternoon and evening at Convention Hall.

Quietly, but effectively, is the rather substantial figure of military justice stir- ring things up in some of the commands that are quartered in the Center Market Armory. In defiance of regulations and decency some of the soldiers converted several of the squad rooms into miniature gambling houses and kept up their t proper proceedings until late hours at nights, and through the greater portion of Sundays. The conspirators worked very quietly or they would have been discov- ered long agu, but dodge as they would, fate could not be side(gacked, and it ar- rived at last in the furm of Col. Clay, who, having good reason for being suspicious, made a tour of inspection and discovery. Courts-martial foliowed, of course, and oth- ers to come. The shaking-up is a good thing for the general health of the brigade and will teach a wholesome lesson to those who have not yet opened their minds wide enough to find out what the District Na- tional Guard is for. None of the court pro- ceedings have as yet reached brigade head- quarters, so details for publication are not available, but it is alre: apparent that the guilty will not escape. New Patterns for Infantry Packs. Trials are being made, both in Prussia and’ Bavaria, with several new patterns of infantry packs. The main peculiarities of these models are that the body of the knapsack is made lighter by the abolition of the wooden frame work, and the adop- tion of aluminum for all the metallic parts, such as buckles. The pack is divided into two main parts, ‘so arranged that the lower portion, which contains the heavier and less necessary portion of the man’s effects, can be quickly detached, leaving only the upper part (termed the “sturmsack” or salt bag),which contains the reserve rations. This separa- tion of the indespensable portions of the kit from the heavier and less frequently required part is made with the view of en- abling the men to reduce their load to the minimum at the moment of making the assault, while even if they temporarily lose part of their kit they will still have their three days’ rations and aluminum water bottle with them. The cartridge pouches in the Bavarian pattern have been rearranged, each of the two in front con- taining forty-five rounds in place of thirty, and the rear pouch holding sixty in, place of ninety, so that the total number’ of rounds remains 150, as before. The Shooting Schedule. . Rifle practice in the brigade gallery dur- ing the coming week will take place in ac- cordance with the following schedule: Monday—Co. A, First Separate Battalion. Tuesday—Co. B, Fourth Battalion. Wednesday—Co. C, Sixth Battalion. Thursday—Co. C, Second Battalion, Friday—Co.

One Goes Out, Another Comes in. Adjutant Gen. Mosher yesterday forward- ead to Col. Clay, commanding the second regiment, the orders which will result in the disbanding of company D, sixth bat- talion (Capt. Salmon). The vacancy thus made in the sixth will probably not be empty long, for yesterday evening Maj. Bartlett introducéd to Gen. Ordway a Mr. Smith, formerly a lieutenant in the Mem- phis Zouaves,and a Mr. Chisholm—both em- ployes in the government printing office— who say they have fifty men who will en- list in a new company to fill the gap. This company will be a dual sort of an organiza- tion, in its private capacity being of the zouave variety, with a zouave uniform, and moving after the zouave fashion. The pro- moters received all the encouragement they could desire, and departed with pockets full of enlistment blanks and other ap- Ppearances of laudable enthusiasm. Notes, Capt. James E. Bell, inspector of rifle practice, second regiment, has submitted his first annual report to the inspector general of rifle practice. The document is a perfect specimen of all that such a report needs to be. The report of Capt. W. L. Cash, in- spector of rifle practice, first regiment, has been delayed by a tardy company report, but is expected at headquarters before the close of next week. Capt. H. B. Cilley, adjutant of the second brigade team whom he cheered and assisted during some of the keenest competitions in which that organization has participated. It is understood that First Sergt.W.A.Mel- lach of Troop Awill today be intel an in- Company C, fourth battalion (Capt. L. E. Buck), has promoted Second Lieut. BE. L. Brice to the first Heutenancy and elected W. E. Sabin to succeed Brice. This command was in the rifle this week for the first time and did some remarkably good work. It promises to be with the best of the companies very soon. The board of officers to examine candi- dates for promotion to the department of rifle tice meets at brigade juarters on day evening at 7 o'clock. Mr. Bag- ger will report for examination and Lieut. Mellach for assignment. Two or three company commanders are having a little trouble over the assignments to the rifie gallery. The difficulties can be adjusted speedily and satisfactorily through battalion commanders, says Col. Mosher. Mr. Andre Louis Bagger has been nomi- nated by Maj. Wilson as inspector of rifle practice for the third battalion. Capt. John T. FitzGerald, company B, third battalion, has resigned his commission. ————.—__ GOD BLESSA DA RICH. A True Story of an Episode om F + Street the Other Day. It was noon on F street and on all sides there was a hurrying to and fro of clerks and typewriter girls toward the lunch rooms of the vicinage. Under foot slop reigned; overhead the heavens rained. By the curb a street pianist was con’ the east wind into the piping strains of “Annie Roo- REAL ESTATE GOSSIP.

She was wrapped cris-cross in a big green and blue shawl, and as she turned slowly around to sweep the horizon with her eagle eye in search of some approaching penny or nickel she resembled a boy's brightly paiuted top. Suddenly a shout was heard: Wahoo! ‘Wahoo!

He gotta da mon!” he shouted above the tumultous notes of his instrument. “I no climba da wall. You maka me tire. Go gétta da monk.” The woran looked up ‘ly at the shining reward a hundred feet up in the air in the hand of a young Ph. D., or something of that sort, who might after all be teasing her and put the coin back in his pocket. “Getta da mova, Tina.

The bit of silver was a half dollar and it had finally rolled into the middle of an Eng- lish sparrow’s dinner under a buggy. Tina hesitated, but was not lost. A tall, well- dressed old gentleman stepped off the side- walk, came around to Tina’s side, and with his cane poked the half dollar out from un- der the wheels. When he straightened up his silk hat fell off. The woman screamed and jumped to pick it up. As she gave it to him she bowed, and her little yellow- jenna eyes twinkled and snapped with grati- tude. The pianist lifted his hat to the savant in shirt sleeves and the polite old man, and tarted his music factory on down the reet. “God blessa da rich, da poor taka cara daselves!” ——>__. “I DUNNO!” Tough Plight of a Lewiston Man W!
