Ao incident Which Uoeg to Frovn That It Never Changes. If the Bertillon system of identifica tion had a phonosrraiihio roiwH cUe,i9ui. tniinuais n wouia probably oeas near perlect as an identification system can be. The fact that man conies into the world wailing has been regarded as a sort of prophecy of the truth that as a rule the sorrows of life outnumber the joys when all tb r. turns are in, but an optimist might see an opposite significance in the fact that a man's laugh remains the same tin, all the changing years. When the cares of manhood succeed to the happy-go- lucky days of boyhood, says the Chi- cago Tribune, this laugh of his may be called into use, as it were, very little Out when it is put into operation it is the same old laugh and every boyhood uicuu wuuiu unow n instantly. An old soldier who fought through mo war wan ired Uartwick, who1 drives a mail collector's wagon on the . North side, happened to be in Phi,.,,! for a week not long since. He heard that Mr. Uartwick was on Postmaster Hesing's staff and went to the federal building to find him. He took his sta tion at a point past which all the car riers filed to- report for duty and as Uartwick came along some one pointed him out. Without disclosing his own identity the veteran approached and began ask ing Uartwick if he remembered various incidents in the history 'of that regi ment during the war. Of course he did, and they soon fell into conversa tion, organizing a kind of camp-fire meeting between themselves. One member of tho reiriment wns in Wi. ncssiniNew Orleans, another was in a bank down in the state, several were farming, one was the local manager for one of the big commercial agencies in one of the large cities, and soon. Several times Uartwick asked his old companion-at-arms his name, but the latter only smiled and went on with the conversation. Finally, when it became necessary for them to separate, as Uartwick was obliged to go out on his run, the man laughed as he said: "Well, Fred, I never thought you'd forget mo after what we went through together." 8 "The minute he laughed," said Mr Uartwick, in relating the Incident, "I knew just who he was and nil about him, but I hadn't seen him for thirty years, and lie lmd changed so I conldn:t have told him from Adam. His laugh had grown older, too, of course, but it was the same old luugh." Mature' Lightning Rod. Mosurtw, amri'ror.

There it turned southward again and went zigzagging downward th rnu it h the forest. At the salient of that sec ond angle was a largo flat rock, jut- mig irom mo riage to the northward, uveriooKiug tiie deep valley from wmeli the road ascended. The rock capped a high cliff-, a stone dropped from its outer edge would have fallen sheer downward one thousand feet to tho tops of the pines. The tho soldier lay was on another spur of nie t,;ime can. uad be been awake he would have commanded a view, not only of the short arm of the road and the jutting rock, but of the entire pro file of tho cliff below it. No country is so wild and difficult but men will make it a theater of war; concealed in the forest at the bottom of tlmt military rat-trap, in which half a hundred men in possession of the exits might have starved an army to submission, lay five regiments of 'fed eral infautry. They had marched all the previous day and night and were resting. At nightfall they would take to the roud again, climb to tho place where their unfaithful sentinel now slept, and, descending tho other sIoihs of the ridge, fall upon a camp of the enemy at about midnight Their hope was to surprise It. for tho road led to the rear of it. In case of failure, their position would Ins perilous in tho ex treme. Tho sleeping aentinel in tho clump of laurel was a young Virginian named Carter Druse.

Gov't Report slight movement of the group; the horse, without moving its feet, ha 1 drawn its body slightly backward from the verge; the man remained im mobile as before. ISroad awake and keenly alive to the significance of the situation, Druse now brought the butt of his riile against his cheek by cau tiously pushing the barrel forward through the bushes, cocked tho piece, and, glancing through the sights, cov ered a vital spot of the horseman's breast. A touch unon th trie r trot nid all would have been well with Carter Druse. At that instant the horseman turned his head and looked in tho di rection of his concealed foeman seemed to look into his very face, into his eyes, into his brave, compassionate heart. isu, men, so terrible to kill an enemy in war an enemy who has sur prised a secret vital to tho safety of one's self and comrades an enemy more formidable for his knowledge than all his army for its numbers? Carter Druse grew deathly pale; he shook in every limb, he turned faint, and saw the statuesque group before him as black figures, rising, falling, moving unsteadily in arcs of circles in a iierysky. His hand fell away from his weapon, his head slowly dropped until his face rested on the leaves in which he lay. This courageous gen tleman and hardy soldier was nearly swooning from intensity of emotion. It was not for long; in another mo ment his face was raised from the earth, his hands resumed their places on the rifle, his forefinger sought the trigger; mind, heart and eyes were clear, conscienco and reason sound. He could not hopu to enpturo thn, enemy; to alarm him would be to send him dashing into his camp with his fatal news. The duty of tho soldier was plain: the man must bo shot dead from ambush without warning, with out a moment's spiritual preparation, with never so much as an unspoken prayer he must be sent to his account, admiring the sublimity of the land cape. If permitted, he may turn ami ride carelessly away in the direction whence he came. Surely it will b ' possible to judge at the instant of his withdrawing whether ho knows It may well lie that his fixity of uttcn tiou Uriiso turned his head and looked below, through the deeps ol air downward, us from the surface to the bottom of a truiialuceut sea. lie saw creeping acron the green meudow a hlnuoiis line of figure i of men und lior-i'H aonui f.xilisli t'oiiiiiiiinder wa permitting thu soldiers to wuter their U-itst In plain view from a hundred sumiiiitsl Druse withdrew his eyes from the valley and fixed Ihem ugain uon the ;rroiipof m:iu an l horse in the sky, and u iM I ii it was through the sight of Ida rille. lint this limn the aim was at the horse.

From his bare head his lo;)g hair streamod upward, way mg like a plur.ie. His right hand was concealed in the cloud of the horse's lifted mane. The animal's body was as level as if every hoof-stroke en countered the resistant earth. Its mo tions were those of a wild gallop, but even as the officer looked they ceased with all the legs thrown sharply fori ward as in the act of alighting from a leap. I!ut this was a flight! Filled with amazement and terror by this apparition of a horseman in the sky half believing himself the chosen scribe of some new apocalypse, tho ollicer was overcome by the in tensity of his emotions; his legs failed bun and ho fell. Almost at the same instant he heard a crnshin ,nA i the trees a sound that dies without an echo, and aU was still. After firing his shot, Private Carter Druse reloaded his rifle and resumed his watch. Ten minutes had hardly passed when a federal sergeant crept cautiously to him. "Did you fire?" the sergeant pered. "Yes." "At what?" "A horse. It was standing on yon der rock-protty far out. ItisnoW er there. It went over the cliff." ".See here, Druse," tho sergeant said, after a silence, "it's no use making a! mystery. I order you to report. Waa tliero anybody on the horse?" "Yes" "Who?"

Several months ago the board of In spection and survey of the navy depart ment was directed to make an investi COJsioajvUJi .Jfkjw -if..o-t.inl -iw m substitute was tho fact that a lighter material was wanted If possible, one that would not take so much space in the vessel, and more than anything else a niiiteriul that would not splinter. It was also desirable to have a non combustible substance. Thn board, snys tho Washington Post, hiia iiiudo a report to the secre tary of the mi vy and some of its recom-iiii-ndiitions huvo lieen adopted by him, and it Is probable that some of the new ships will bu fitted with the new ma terial as a substitute for wood. One of the In-st materials which has been found by the board is a wood iub- stituto e imsed of waste cork, or any cork. This is subjected to four hun dred degrees of heat, and It Is then pressed into blocks of any required hie. It can bo sawed into thin strips or hnndled very much as wood la handled.
