THE BIRDS OF THE SEA-The birds
that bei0ngt8 the sea are very curious,
and their number beyond all CaiCu.a-
ton. Every naked rock or surt-
beaten cliff that rises over the i'm
measurable deserts of ocean, is the
refuge of mvriads of sea-birds; every
coast, from the poles to the equator,
is covered with their legions, and far
from the land their swarms hover over
the solitudes of the deep" The pen
gums are perhaps, of all others, the
birds chat most widely depart from
the ordinary type of ftheir class. Their
wings are adapted exclusively for
motion in water, and they swim with
such rapidity and perseverance. with
the head alone out of water, that they
frequently overtake fishes in fair pur-
suit. They live in the sea, and have
been met with q thousand miles from
the nearest known land. The larger
birds Of this kind sometimes weigh as
much as eighty pounds, and in their
stomachs have been found two pounds
weight of pebbles and large stones,
swallowed, no doubt, to assist the
gizzard to pound up the food submitted
to its action The irigate bird, the
p6trel, and the albatrOss, seem to range
through the air over the whole extent
of ocean from coast to coast of the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The pelican,
also, and the cOrmorant, are far more
nearly dependent on water than land,
and strictly belong to our present sub
ject. They are all birds OF powerful
and rapid flight. feeding on fishes, and
rarely seen far inland, though often
stretching to great distances across
wide expanses of sea. Thanks to
them, we have those accumulated
masses of guano which help to fertil-
ize our lands. Some idea of the extent
of these masses may be obtained when
it is stated that, on the island of Iqui-
que alone, upwards of six millions of
cubic feet of g9ano have been removed
within the last thirty years, while in
the year 1854, not less than half
million of tons were exported from the
Cbincha Islands

ORIGIN OF THE BAYoNET
bayonet is an arm peculiarly French.
1t was invented, it is said, at BayOnne,
in I64I, and employed in 1870 in the
regiment of the Kings Fusileers 1t
sensibly modified the system Of mill
tary arr in Europe, as it made cavalry
less redOuhtable to infantry, and caused
the fire Of lines of battles to be regard
ed as the principal means of action.
The bayOnet has become the decisive
arm of combat. According to a local
tradition it was in a small hamlet in the
envirOns OF Bavonne that this arm was
invented What led TO the invention
of it was. that, in fierce combat
between some Basque peasants and
some Spanish smugglers, the former
having exhausted their ammunition,
fastened their long knives to their
muskets and by means of She weapon
so formed put their enemies to flight
This arm rapidly came into general
use in Europe. In 1918, at the time
of the peace of .NImegncn, all the
French grenadiers had the bayonet.
but the socket, which makes the use
of it so easy, was not invented until a
later period. Bayone5s at that time
were a sort of dagger, of which the
handle was placed in the muzzle of the
musllet and of course prevented the
musI>et from being fired. The first
battle at which the bayonet was seri-
ouslv employed was that of Turin, in
1852 but it was net until the battle
Of Spires, in 1903, that the first charge
of the bayonet was executed After
that epoch, up to 1892, the bayonet
was often employed in combat, but
the real value Of it was not revealed
until thewars Of national independence,
Then the bayonet really became a
French arm.-Army and Nary Chron-
icle
