EXAMINING BoTToMs OF WELLS AND CIs-
TERNs.-It is not generally known, we think
how easy matter it is to examine the bot
tom of a well, cistern, or pond Of water by
use of common mirror Cooking glass y
When the sun is shining brightly, hold a.
mirror so that the reflected rays Of light will
fall into the water. A bright spot viii be
seen at the bottom, SO light as to show the
smallest object very plainly. BY this means
we have examined the bottoms of wells fifty
to eighty feet deep, when half full or more
of water. The smallest straw, Or other small
object can be perfectly seen from the sur
face. In the same way, one can examine
the bottom OF ponds and rivers, if the water
somewhat clear and agitated by winds or
Rpid motion. If a well or cistern be under
P6ver, or shaded by buildings, so that the
Sunlight will not fall near the opening, It's
only necessary to employ two mirrors, using
one to reflect the light to the opening and
another to send it down perpendicularly
into the water. Light may be thrown fifty
Or a hundred yardsto the precise spot desi-
red, and then reflected downward We
have used the mirrors with success to re-
fleet the light around field to q shaded
spot, and also to carry it from south win
dow through two rooms, and then into a;
cistern under the north side of the house.
Half a dozen reflections Of the light may be
made though each mirror diminishes the
brllliancy Of the light. Let any one not
familiar with this method try it, and he
will find it not only useful, but pleasing
experiment. It will perhaps reveal a mass
of sediment at the bottom of we'll, which
has been little thought of, but which may
have been fruitful source of disease by it's
decay in the water. American Agricultu-

NUMBER 81.
The Austrian Cavalry.

No Power can boast such body of cayal-
ry Austria 1t is enormous in number
The horses are excellent, well bred, handy,
active, and courageous; The men are bold
riders, good swordsmen, and, better still,
are the right weight, and are recruited in
great part from: two Of the greatest eques-
trian nations in the world, the Poles and
Hungarlans, In her service the monstrosity
SO often witnessed in France, of giant Of
two hundred pounds weight, laden with arms
and accoutrements, .astride of beast not
much bigger than himself, is never witness
ed. In short, the Austrian ublan or hussar
is the model light-cavalry man of the world
small, light, why, active, indefstigable,
rider from his cradle, his bride in his heels
and his hands, eye, and heart on his sabre,
indefatigable in the march, swift III the
charge, every where by turns and nowhere
long 1t may be almost said that the Hun
garian hussar, now that the Turkish spahi
is thing the past, is the only light caval-
ry, in fact the only cqral,y in existence
His cuts are as fatal and sure as other mems
thursts. His horse is part of himself; ri
ding or fighting are his pastime. In former
days he was the glory and boast Of the Aus
trian army. Those gay swarms Of hardy
little men which it shot from it's side on the
march were its surest aids in victory, its
best safeguards i'll defeat.
All this, however goes down before the
Enfield rife and the Armstrong gun. Lot
the horse be ever so swift, the sabre ever SO
sharp, or the rider ever so bold, the conical
ball is too much for him. A charge of cav
airy upon a body of properly armed Infantry
bids fair to be hencetorward impossible
Two hundred yards has been fixed by the
best authority as the proper charging dis
lance, and in by-gone days it was only at
two hundred yards that the FIRE of square
began to tell and saddles to be emitted. But
now-a-day the iron rain patters on the horse
men before they get within half a mile ofthe
foe. If they quicken their pace to close the
maddest charge will not bring dragoon-
horse on the bayonet in less than three min
utes, and when he arrives"-if he arrives,
we should say, for even in traversing eight
hundred yards at the top Of his speed, he
receives half dozen tolleys from practised
sharpshooters. 70 send cavalry On such
service will we may safely predict, hencefor-
ward be considered madness. The foot-sol-
dier has swifter messenger in his. cartou-
chebox than the feetest hussar, and Austria
loses her most efficient Weapon.-N 7.
