CherbOurg FOrtificatiOns.

Cherbourg is city of 10000 inhabit-
ants, situated on the northern extremity
of the peninsula of the Cotentin. 1t is
the principal naval port and dockyard of
France. The docks have been eXcavated
in the rock. France has left nothing
undone to secure at this point, project
ing into the channel, naval arsenal
and port The Notifications are on a
stupendous scale. Twenty-four forts
and redoubts surround the town, in adj
dition to six batteries on the mole. The
dockyard was designed by Vauban, and
it was commenced by Louis XVI Ma
poleon |. contributed something toward
its completion. Louis Philippe did
more, and Napoleon III. nearly COM
pleted the work. France has been COM
PEELED, at a prodigious expense, to eXca-
Vate out of the rocks, docks and tidal
basins. These comprise an area of forty
eight acres of deep water, accessible by
the largest war vessels at all times of the
tide. The roads of Cherbourg are pro-
tected on three sides by land, but are
exposed to the north. 1t has been a
favorte project of every French Govern
ment since that of Louis XVI, to remedy
this by throwing a breakwater across the
mouth of the bay. The BourbonS, the
Republic, the Empire and the others
successfully aimed at scheme which
would secure to France a strong harbOr
on this part of her coast. Now the
breallwater, LA Digue," is finished.
1t extends over two miles across the bay,
leaving an opening at each end of about
one mile for the entrance and exit for
vessels. The base of the Dgue is $40
feet in width. AT either end is a light
house as well as forts, which command
the entrances; in the middle is the fort
central. Guns may be mounted all along
the Digue. The aggregate expense of
the works at Cherbourg is more than
$50, 900, O00.-Cor. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The HeigehOg'S Mode OF Defense.

The hedgehog is one of the best protec-
ted of living animals. "Marching Sc
curely under the guardianship of its
thorn-spiked armor, it recks little of any
foe save man. The formidable
array of bristling spines with which the
back is more or less covered offers
cherat-detrtse of sharp spikes toward
any animal that may present itself as an
enemy. Anotherpeculiarity is the power
possessed by these creatures of rolling
themselves into a round ball. by placing
the head on the breast, drawing up the
legs, and curling the body firmly round
the members. BY this posture the hedge
hogs render themselves lnvulnerable to
almost any animal that may attack them.
When in this curious attitude
the hedgehog cannot be unrolled by
main force, as long as any life remains
in the body, for there is an enormously
developed muscle, with a very thick
margin, which spreads over the back
and round the sides, and which, when
contracted, holds the creature in so firm
an embrace that it will be torn in pieces
rather than yield its point"
The spines of this animal are about an
inch long, and naturally lie flat on the
back, directed toward the tail But by
Il peculiar arrangement they are erected
when the owner coils himself. In shape
the spine " is not unlike large pin,
being sharply pointed at one extremity,
and furnished at the other with a round,
bead-lke head. and rather abruptly bent
near the head. If the skin be removed
from the hedgehog, the quilts are seen
to be pinned, as it were, through the
skin, being retained by their round heads,
which are acted upon by the peculiar
muscle which has already been men
toned
Protected by this defense, the hedge
hog is enabled to throw itself from con
siderable heights, to curl itself into
ball as it descends, and to reach the
ground without suffering any harm from
its fall. A hedgehog has been seen re-
peatedly to throw itself from a wall
some twelve or fourteen feet in height.
and to fall upon the hard ground without
appearing to be even Inconvenience bv
its tumble. On reaching the ground, it
would unroll itself and trot of with per-
feet unconcern.n III l.. Fdirchild, in

English Hunting.

The value OF shooting properties or
"moors," as they are called, have risen
in value enormously of late years. Game
preserving in the Highlands has become
not only an amusement but q lucrative
industry, at least to the landlords. To
the unfortunate tenants and small farmer
it has become Just the reverse. They
have literally in many districts been eaten
out of house and home by ground game,
sheep runs have been depopulated to
make room for deer while in not few
districts of Sutherlandshire and other
counties the human inhabitants have
been dispossessed in order that the land
might return to a state of nature. The
grouse moors and deer forests are, in
deed, almost the only source of wealth
in the non-manufacturing portion of
Scotland.
An American, Mr.. Winans, owns or
rents one of the largest deer forests in
Great Britain. 1t extends from the At
lantic to the German Ocean, right across
Scotland for distance of seventy miles.
Blackwood is another of these huge
shooting moOrs of some S0,0 acres.
1t was rented to the Earl of Dud-
ley for S25, 900 year, and last year
was tenanted by the great brewer, Sir
Henry Allsopp. As the grouse shooting
season lasts only some six weeks. an
idea may be formed of the immense
amount of money spent on this amuse-
ment by wealthy Englishmen. The
mere rent is only a small item in com
parisOn with the cost Of entertaining the
large parties of guests who, like New
Workers, flock North as summer advan-
ces. What with guests, dogs, gillies,
rent and a host of other expenses; every
bird shot is calculated to cost at least
five dollars. Some of the bags" made
are, however, enormous. On a we'll
known moor in Yorkshire, Sir Frederick
Milbank shot, not long ago, 1911 grouse
in twenty-eight minutes. On the same
moor, in one day, six guns killed 700
grouse, while the total for the season
was 1864.
These tremendous bags came into
ia shion with breech-loading guns, for
of course, it would be quite impossible
to load and fire fast enough with the
old-fashiOned fowling piece. Nothing
more unlike real sport can be conceived
than modern English battue. The
birds are, as rule, quite tame, having
been fed by hand by the keepers for
months previously. They are at the APP
pointed time driven in great flocks over
certain spots where the sportsmen lie in
wait Each man has two game keepers
behind him, who load his guns and hand
them to him. He simply fires as quickly
as he can pull the trigger into the m ass
of birds us they fly over and past him.
The whole thing lasts but few minutes.
The dead are then picked up, and the
same evening are sent off to London to
the pouIterers' shop. -PhiLuAeLphia Press

The Vain Pullat.

A fine, fat Pullet who was roosting on
the limb of tree safe from danger was
saluted by Fox with:
Good evening, Miss Pullet-I never
saw you look better. Your figureis per-
fectly lovely"
"Do you really think so ?'
Certainly | do. I'd give anything
if could wear my hair done up in Il
French roll and have it become me as it
does you"
Aren't you joking ?''
81 was never more serious in my life.
Your small feet and pretty mouth are
the envy of all the Pullets in the neigh
borhood"
"Dear me, but is that so Pr
"And everybody says you have such
tony air about YOU"
so! Ia -
81 think if we were to walk out to-
gether we mash the whole town"
Really, now Pr
The Fox gave her more soft solder,
and in the end the vain Pullet flew down
and furnished u square meal for the crafty
William.

What Lacy Says.

Thomas Lacy called at the RIVER
Press office to-day to state that the pub
lished account of his difficulty with
Witt was one-sided and altogether un-
fair to him. Lacy says thai Witt made
the attack, assaulting him with a big
black snake whip, and he lacy was
compelled to use his gun 10 ward off the
blows and did not attempt to injure his
~assailant until he thought it necessary
for self rejection. He also claims that
Witt had prior to that time threatened
to give him a Licking" and he Lacy
had good reasons to fear him. This is
Mr.. Lacy's statement, and in justice to
him we publish it, as the first account
given emanated from Mr.. Witt.

A silver Lead at Dearborn.

Ell. "A. Milot brought in some speci-
mems Of silver quartz from a lead which
has recently been discovered near that
place. Float rock had been found in the
vicinity before, but no one had yer been
able to find the lead until recently,
whena mar named Dan Neil struck it..
Neil had picked up some OF the hoatand
brought it down to the Dearborn, where
it was pronounced to be pretty good. Mr..
Milot told Neil to go and look for the
lead, which he did, and found it. He
prospected in three different places and
struck the lead each time. A gentle
man from Butte went up with Messrs.
Neil and Milot to look at the lead, and
he pronounced it q fine prospect. vi
course it as yet only q prospect, but IT it
turns out to be a good lead, which seems
! to- ne probable, these gentlemen will
have o pretty 81 oil thing. It is situated
SO as TO be easily worked. and the Butte
gentleman, whose name we did not
learn, says that from indications the ore
taken out will pay the cost of opening
up. This is the only sign Of q lead vel
discovered there, and we would scarcely
advise people to rush over in that direc
ton until something more definite il
known. Mr.. Milot has, sent samples O
the rock to Helena, but has not yet re
ceived returns.
