horses and men, all entangled in the harness, their
skeletons hanging together in the net work of

there were the bones of driver, held together by
the rags of his uniform and with his foot still in
the stirrups. Such are some of the horrors of

TO TELL THE DISTANCE OF SHIPS AT SEA-
If gun be fred by vessel at sea- the distance
may be known by observing the number of
seconds which eapse between the fash and the re.
port. In mild weather sound travels at the rate
of 1923 feet in second. IT, therefore, the report
of the gun were heard five seconds after the fash
had been seen, the distance of the observer from
the gun would be 56l5 feet or rather more than
a mile This is merely an approximation, for the
velocity of sound varies according to the density
of the atmosphere. In dry, frosty weather, sound
travels at the rate Of only 1850 feet in second

some such name, Allen was once performing q pro.
minent part, and in a scene in which the American
and British fleets were represented in hostile ac.
tion. The finale of the naval struggle was of
course to be the utter discontinue and surrender
of the enemy; but unfortunately those who had
the working of the miniature vessels were partial
ly intoxicated and accidentally sunk the whole
American fleet while the English ships remained
galiantly on the surface, much to the disgust and
disappointment of the patriotic Philadelphia aud
ience, who manifested their displeasure in groans
and misses.
Allen, not being aware of what had happened,
strutted across the stage in great confusion and
whispered to the promptor "What i'd the dabe OF

by his tailor for an amount of an enormous bill;
one of the items of which was, nine pantaloons in
less than year. The advocate of the tradesman
pleaded that this consumption of pantaloons was
not excessive; that in the higher circles gentle
man could have less than three costumes day
the morning dress, the riding costume, and the
evening toilette. The theory of three pantaloons
a day did not triumph. The President observed
that gentleman could be both elegant and refined
with q more moderate number of these garments,
and he consequently reduced the bill 200 francs.
