Animals Necessary for Research.

How, then, can a great result to the
science Of healing be expected ii research
in animals he cur of? For long time
no remedy has been more rapidly recog-
nized or more extensively used than
chloral, the effects Of which were dis
covered and established experimentally
by Herr q. Liobreich in my laboratory.
How would it have been possible to
know how to ascertain those effects
without experiments on animalss The
animals friends say TO ns: "Then try
the new medicine yourselves. They
refer us to- the provings of medicines
by the homeopaths. But, quite indie
penlently of the fact that the provlngs
Of the homeopaths have not taught MS
to recognize one single new remedy
which can be compared even Mt n dis

remedies. do not III the least correspond

Forced Marches.

In 1757 Frederick the Great marched
Rbout 100 miles 20 days; and again, utter
Rossbarll, little greater distance in ID
days, but lost 800 men through exhaus-
tion. In l76O, with 10000 men and
1000 wagons, he accomplished about 20
miles in 5 days. The same year the
Austrian General Lascy, with ID, 600 men
knocked off" $50 miles In 10 days.
Prince Eugene, of Wurtemberg, to re-
lieve Berlin, made forced march on
the 4th Of October, 1760, Of 80 miles I
day. This latter does not approach the
feat of tho Sixth Corps-35 miles In 10
hours. II may be remembered by many
Of those who served with the Army of
the Potomac that Birney's First tlscd
Diamond) division Of the Third Corps
had won for themselves the nickname
Of Birney's Foot Cavalry" and this
title was subsequently applied 10 tho
Second Corps after the Third Corps was
combined with il. In regard to the
Third Corps. Army Of the Potomac, the
writer feels that it deserves equal pre-
eminence with the Third Corps Of the
French Army under Napoleon in the
campaign Of 1906. or the latter organi-
cation, Marshal Davoust said to Nnpol-
con during this, the jena campaign,
when the Emperor expressed his nd
miration of its achievements and his
grief at its heavy losses, "Sirc, tho
soldiers Of the Third Corps, will ever be
10 you what the Tenth Legion was 10
Cnsar." (Alison, IL, 457, y. The nc
tivity Of the Third and Of the combined
Second Third Corps rivaled that Of
Oudinot's Grena.lier's, In October, 1906,
when they actually outmarched cavalry,
accomplishing u leagues . day, and
contributed chiefly to the capture of
the Austrian Archduke Fer,linand's col
umn, which had escaped from Ulm. In
the pursuit Of the Sixth Corps kept up
with the cavalry on the 6th--so saws Col.
Archibald Hopkins, Thirty. y.scvcnth

Of U4ittle) Sailors Greek, 9th Of April,

Corps had likewise equaled the speed of
the horsemen, prior TO the concentration

infantry, both Of the Army Of the poto-
mac and Of the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia, justified Lieut. Gen. Baron Am.
bert's magnificent eulogy on the foot
soldiers, whom he styles !" the sinews Of
an army" Gen. Roche-Aymon says
that cavalry is TO infantry what poetry
is to prose, and, he meant exactly what
these words express. Il is not bad
comparison, inasmuch as the world
might 90 on without poetry, while it
would DO utterly impossible to get along
without prose. Moreover, good poetry
is very rare, whereas excellent prose is
not. Poetry, too, while all very fine. is
at best no more to real life than what
dessert is to dinner. tnited

Theory Of Luminous Paint.

Light is supposed to hc the vibration
Of an extremely elastic fluid called ether.
which is supposed to fill the whole of
space, and which, set in motion 10y 'hs
vibration Of the luminous source itself,
produces upon our eyes the sensation ot
light. Now, it is thought that ths waves
OF light communicate their motion ,o the
particles Of the paint. which start into
energetic vibration, continuing long
after tho exciting canse il withdrawn.
