Where troop* have remained in one site for a long period in cold weather, log and board huts have been constructed for their occupancy. e for a camp, there is frequently little latitude, but wherever practicable it should be placed in a healthy location, especially avoid- a j a f nre.

A method of painting practiced by the an- cients, especially l>y the Greeks. The colors were mixed with wax and resin., and were softened by water for each man. and ten gallons for each animal in the camp. On going into camp, effi- cient arrangements should be at once made for tlu- protection of the water-supply and for dis- tributing it to the men and animals. If a source of supply such as a pond or trough is to be used for a considerable time, particularly if animal- arc to he watered there, an area of suf- WATKK-rn.Ti:KS, HItlTISII H:V PATTERN. should 1»- thi ighlj drained and paved "i' macadamized to prevenl the ground t> coming a mass 'if mud. here 1 he sup ply ni canty, it is sometimes necessary, f it shall be wasted, to con- struel tanks for the water at night and nni being consumed. water obtainable is impure, it be filtered; if practicable, through liltcrs .hi ied by the troops, othei « ise b] temporary on 1 1 "' ted 01 a ad, gra> el, ami cha rcoa I. ter i lien he i it 1 1 1 1< > el by boiling. in 'i . 1 1 .i d portal inn is available the I roops In, ill,! • ' ! ith 1 lien" a le>-, (VI II .i u points, barrels, ami pumps.

Some con- tend that encaustic painting retains its integrity of color for a longer period than any other me- dium known to the painted arts, not excluding that of oil, in which the tendency after a time to grow yellow and dark unequally, sometimes de- i he chiaroscuro of the picture. The "Bat- tle of Marathon," painted by Polygnotus, was preserved under an open portico at Athens for more than nine hundred years. Probably the best. proposed restoration of the encaustic process is to be found in the work by Cros and Henry, L'encaus- tique ei Irs autres procedes de pevntwre eliez les anciens historique et technique (Paris, 1S84). These authors assert that the colors are mixed with wax and resin, then applied with a brush and afterwards modeled with heated instruments called ruutcriti.
