On page 29s of the present volume Of the
Scientific Ameaican, we stated that some
persons appeared to be- naturally incapable
of becoming good marksmen, as they dodge,
just when the trigger was pulled. A Mary
land correspondent alludes to our statement,
and asserts that twenty years experience
and observation have taught him that any
person may become good shot by observing
the following directions :--"Alow the rifle
to hang in the hands in an easy manner, de-
clined at an angle Of about 400 then raise
it steadily but quickly in line with the
object, the eye ranging carefully over the
sights, and at the instant the object arrived
ut i'd covered, touch the trigger" He says
''I find there is moment in which the gun
is absolutely still, that is, the instant the up
ward movement of it is arrested. These di.
rections observed will certainly make good
shot. If the sight is lost at the first trial, It
can be recovered by a second: ANY deyia-
ton from this rlle is fatal to accuracy"
1t has been tfe experience OF many per-
sons in shooting that nervousness in firing is
neutralized, in great measure, by drawing
the trigger slowly and steadily. We have
known several nervous persons becoMs very
accurate marksmen, by cultisating q habit
of steadiness, combined with promptness in
touching the trigger just at the instant the
sights covered the object, as described by
our correspondent. All sportsrnen who
shoot birds on the wing, must follow this
practice excepting ii 'one feature, lowering
instead of raising the m, zzle. Our abcrigi-
mes raise the muzzle when they fire most Of
our rifle shooters and military men raise it
first, above the line OF ann, and then lower it.
On this subject, marksmen differ in opinion
as to which is the best mode.
AS to the best attitude and mode Of hold
ing rifle in firing, no single rule can le
followed by all! Soldiers should learn to
take aim and FIRE rapidly in all positionsA
standing, kneeling or lying on the ground
rolled up like clods behind tufts ofbushwood
or grass. One contends that II is impossi-
BILE to shoot accurately with a rifle unless
person stands in the position of our Western
r;hemen-erecta and sidewise, with the right
elbow raised to the ear, muscles rigid as
stone, the left hand merely supporting the
rife, and the elbow resting upon the side
This may be the very best position for hunt
ers and fancy shooters, but a regiment of
soldiers drilled to fire exclusively upon such
principles. Would make excellent targets for
the skirmishing rifiemen of our modern mill
tary corps At distance Of 500 yards all
the standing-up shooters could be picked off
without single Zouave exposing himself to
chance shot. Several well known marks
men condemn rigid position Of the musies
in shooting. They recommend an easy and
graceful but firm position, the but Of the
rife held snugly, but not violently firm
against the muscle of the right arm above
the elbow, and the left hand placed under
the barrel at the vertical axis-the point
where the stock and barrel arc balanced
when held upon one finger Scientific

The Origin of the Stars and
Stripes.

At the commencement of the Revolution
AIRY war, the Colonies could not, of course,
continue to use the British flag, and were
consequently compelled to construct original
devices for their standard For instance,
that of the Connecticut troops contained the
arms Of the Colony, surrounded by the mot
to .Qui transtulit sustinet," Gle who has
brought US hither sustains u.s. The flag
unfurled by General Putnam on Prospect
Hill, July Is, 1775, was red, having on one
side the above motto, and on the other the
words, "An appeal to Heayer." The latter
motto, combined with the figure of pine
tree, was the flag of the Massachusetts, Col
onial Cruisers. That used by Colonel Moul-
trie, at the taking Of Fort Johnston, on James
Island, September Is, 1875, was a large blue
one, with the motto, "Appeal to Heaven
The tree on this flag, and on the preceding
one, was an emblem of Union. The flag
used by the Comander-in in Chief of the Con-
tinental Navy consisted Of yellow field,
with o rattlesnake in the middle, in the atti-
tude Of striking, and the words underneath
this, "Don't tread on me.' As far back as
1854 snake, divided into thirteen parts,
with the initials of Colony on each of the
parts, and the motto, ryoin or die," was .
frequent representation Of the of the disuni
ted Colonies. When the union of the Colo
nies took place, the rattlesnake was united,
as on the flag just mentioned. This device
Of the ratilesnake.is still retained in the pres
ent seal of the War Department.
On the l4th Of June, 1777, the Continen-
tol Congress passed resolution "that the
flag Of the United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the Union be
thirteen stars, white, in . blue field, repre-
senting neac constellation.
In 1894, an act Of the Federal Congress
increased the number Of the stripes and Of
the stars, respectively, to fifteen. This was
our flag during the war of 1912. In 1918,
another act restored the original number Of
stripes, and declared that star should be
added for each new State. Up to this date,
the stars had been arranged in circle, as
symbol Of Union and duration; but since
then, they have been generally arranged in
the form of q single large star.
If we look little more closely into the
historical origin of our flag, we find that it
was purposcly symbolical of Union The
original red ground is taken from the Urion
Jack Of England. The old banner Of St.
George was red cross upon white field.
The cross Of St. Andrew. the badge by which
the Scots distinguished themselves in the
first crusade, was upon white blue field.--
Upon the union of England and Scotland in
1907, these crosses were, by a proclamation
Of Queen Anne in that year, united and be.
came the national flag of Great Britain, and
continued to be such until the union with
Ireland in 1901, when the banner Of st. Pat
rick was combined with it.

vantage?"

no THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR .


That late, In hall. despair, Isaie:
stThe Nations ancient life Is dead;
Her arm is weak, her blood Is cold;
She hugs the peace that gives her gold
The shameful peace, that sees expire
Each beacon light Of patriot fire,
And makes her court traitors den"
Forgive me this, my Countrymen!
Oh, in your long forbearance grand,
Slow to suspect the treason planned,
Enduring wrong, yet hoping good
For sake Of olden brotherhood,
How grander, how sublimer far
At the reused Eagles call We are,
Leaping from slumber to the fight
For Freedom and for Chartered Right
Throughout the land there goes cry:
sudden splendor fills the sky:
From every hill the banners burst,
Like buds Of April breezes hurst.
In every hamlet, home, and mart
The nre-beat Of single heart
Keeps time TO strain whose pulses mix
Our blood with that of Seventy-Six
The shot whereby the old flag fell
From sumter's battered citadel,
Struck down the lines Of party creed
And made ye One, in soul and deed
One mighty People, stern and strong
To crush the consummated wrong,
Indignant with the wrath, whose rod
Smites as the awful sword of God
The cup is full They thought ye blind:
The props Of State they undermined
Abused your trust, your strength defed,
And stained the Nations name Of pride.
Now lift to Heaven your loyal brows,
Swear once again your fathers VOWS,
And cut through traitor hearts a track
To nobler fame and freedom back!
Draw forth your million blades as one
Complete the battle then begun
God fights with We, and overhead
Floats the dear banner Of your dead.
They, and the glories Of the past,
The Future dawning dim and vast,
And all the hottest hopes Of man,
Are beaming triumph in your van!
Slow to resolve, be swift to do +!
Teach We the False how fight the True
How bucklered Perfidy shall feel
In her black heart the Patriots steel;
How sure the bolt that Justice wings;
How weak the arm traitor brings;
How mighty they who steadfast stand
For Freedoms Flag and freedoms Land!

What the Editor OF the Louis
willie Democrat Thinks.

The Louisville Democrat of Sunday, says:
We do not believe there is to be much
6ghting The Federal armies, SO much more
powerful in men and resources, can seize
point after point, and gradually enclose the
whole Southern States in military lines. 1t
is useless to attempt to keep up the idea that
the Federal navy cannot blockade the South,
ern seacoast. We haye thought it impracti.
cable, but the swiftness ofaction on the part
Of the government in securing vessels aid
the very small number Of actual ports not
withstanding the immense extent Of the
coast, have convinced us that we are mista-
ken. Then the land ports, and ports on the
Mississippi, are all in the easy command Of
the government. They will be under no
actual necessity for bloody invasion. The
South can no morebe overcome by invasion
than Russia by the seizure Of Moscow, but
when the ports Of entry are all seized, her
chief cities occupied, her commerce totally
killed, we may expect that though govern
ment may continue to claim allegieuce for
a time, it will eventually fail to pieces for
the best Of reasons it has failed to carry
out the design for which 1t was adopted
The United States officers, not suddenly, but
by degrees, will begin to assume their func-
tions here and there in the South, and the
States to act in harmony in such manner
that no sone wilf'be able to' tell exactly
when the Union was entirely reconstructed.

Quite an original methon Of taking fort
is described in the last number of Blacknoods
Magazine. In 1896, large Russian army
besieged the Turkish fort of Azof, which was
situated on plain, strongly fortified, and
had small bit we'll disciplined garrison
No common approaches could be made to it,
and the Turkish cannon swept the level with
iron hail. In this case the engineering skill
of the Russians was baffled, but General
Patrick Gordon, the right hand man of Peter
the Great, and the only one for whose death
it is said he ever shed q tear, being deter.
mined to take the place at any cost proposed
to bury it with earth by gradual approaches.
He had a large army the soil of the plain
was light and deep, and he set twelve thou
sand msn to work with spades, throwing up
high circumvallation of earth, and advan-
cling nearer and nearer every day to the
place, by throwing up the huge earth wall
before them ia advance. The men Were
kept in gangs, working night and day, the
earth being thrown from one to another like
the steps of stair, the top gang taking the
lowest place every half hour in succession.
In five weeks the huge earth wall was carried
forward nearly one mile until it rose to and
above the highest ra,sparts, and the earth
began to roll ever thesn. This caused the
Turkish governor to hang out the white flag,
and gice an. Had he not done so General
Gordon would have buried tie fortress.

Royalty has its drawbacks ss well as its
advantage and prerogatives. Victoria S
daughter cannot make love or get married
withot the affair being discussed in Parlia-
ment like the tax on molasses. Her Majesty
informed the House of Commons that the
Princes Alice was about to be married TO a
German second cousin and hoped her royal
commons would appropriate something nice
to enable her to have long train of brides
maids and something to 60 housekeeping
with to make the pot boil; and ofcourse they
did. There is more arithmetic than poetry
about these royal weddings. The Prince
Louis, Of Hesse Darmsdat, who is to be un;.
ted in marriage to her royal hlghness The
Princess Alice. is the son of Prince Charles
(brother of the reigning grand duke)
and the Princes Elizabeth, Of Prussia
daughter Of Prince William; uncle Of the
king), and was born on the 1sth Of Septem-
ber. 1897.
