nc Trunel a libby Prison.

The March Century will contain the
story Of Colonel Roses Tunnel at
Libby Prison, told by one of the one
hundred and nine officers who escaped
on the night of February Q, 1864.
The successful construction of this
tunnel, dug from dark corner of the
cellar of the prison. through fifty feet
of solid earth, 1.-The only tools being
two broken chisels and a wooden
spittoon in which to carry out the
dirt,-was one Of the most remarkable
incidents of the war.
Colonel Rose, to whose ind0mitable
will and perseverance the success of
the scheme was due. is now a captain
/ in the 10Th United States Infantry
and of the fourteen men who assisted
him in digging the tunnel, eleven are
still living. The narrative in the
March CentUry, which is illustrated,
forms one of the untechnical papers
supplementing the War Series, and il
is said to be one of the most romantic
records that The Century has evel
printed.

POSITION OF BIRDS WINGS
IN FLIGHT.

Our readers, says the British
Journal of Photography, have been
made aware from time to time of the
remarkable result obtained by M.
Marcy in his instantaneous photo
graphs of various animals when pro-
crossing from place to place. A num-
her of photographs of men in the
act of walking, running and jumping
have been given, and also a la Muy-
bridge, of horses in motion in var
ious kinds Of gaits. But perhaps
the most interesting series of the
whole is that relating to the fight
of birds. In La Nature a number
of illustrations taken from NJ. Ma
rey's negatives are given, and they
show most remarkable and inter-
esting set Of positions. M. Muy-
bridges pictures were great source
of wonderment and amusement when
first introduced on account Of the
very strange shapes into which the
limbs of horses seemed to be con-
torted: and here, instead of those
beautiful pictures of birds, where
their pinions extended above the
body as is wont to characterize the
Western representations Of bird
motion (thc Chinese and the Japan
ese draw their flying birds indiffer-
emily with wings either depressed
or raised we see their pinions in
as many and as remarkable posi-
tions as those of the celebrated
horses above alluded to. In some
the wing tips are high in the air, in
others quite low and beneath, and
indeed in front of the body; while,
again, in still different views of the
same bird, we seem to see nothing
but wings apparently extended to
initiate an umbrella. The pictures
of the pelican are particularly ludi-
crous. 1t is desirable again to
point out with regard to such photo
graphs that their value is not for
artistic but physiological uses.

THE TIME 1T TTAKES TO THINK
The Nineteenth Century.

We can determine the interval be-
tween the production of some cxter'
nal change which eXcites mental
processes. and Il movement made af-
ter the processes have taken place.
Thus, if people join hands in cir
Gle. and one Of them, A, presses
the hand of his neighbor B. and he
as soon as possible afterward the
hand of c, and so on round and
round. the second pressure will be
felt by each Of the persons at an in
terval after the first, the time de-
pending on the number of people in
the circle. After the hand of one Of
the persons has been pressed an in
terval very nearly constant in
length passes before he can press
the hand of his neighbor. This in
terval, which we may call the fe-
action time, is made up of number
of factors. A period elapses before
the pressure is changed into ner-
vous message or impulse. This
time is very short in the case of
touch; but light working on the re-
tina seems to effect chemical chang
es in it, and these take up some lit
tie time, probably about 1-5O second.
After nervous impulse has gener-
ated it moves along the nerve and
spinal cord tie the brain, not travel
ing with immense rapidity like
light, but at the rate of an express
train. In the brain it must move
on to centre having TO do with
sensation, where changes are brought
about through which a further i'm
pulse is sent on to centre having
| to do with motion, and motor i'm
pulse having been prepared there is
sent down to the hand. Another
pause, 1920 to 100 second, now
occurs, while the muscle is being ex
cited, after which the fingers are
contracted and the reaction is COM
plete. The entire time required is
usually from l-l0 to l-5 second
The reaction varies in length with
different individuals and for the sew
eral senses, but as long as the con-
( ditions remain the same the times
are very constant, only varying a
few thousandths of second from
each other. One may wonder how
it is possible to measure such short
times and with such great accuracy
1t would not be easy if we had not
the aid of electricity, but when it is
