traps set five yards in segment of circle.
4he traps being on level The traps are SO
adjusted that the elevation of the target or
bird" in its flight is not more than eight
feet or less than four when ten yards from
the trap. Each trap shoots its bird at diff
ferent angle from either of the other traps,
ana as the BIRD f1ys rapidly and the traps are
oDscured bv screen so that the shooter can
not tell from which one the bird is to be
hit the bird.
A string is connected with each trap, and
the trap puller stands six feet behind the
shooter, and when the shooter calls ''pull,"
one OF the traps is instantly sprung. In
single bird shooting the rise is Is yards for
~ bore guns, and 16 yards for II bore guns
In double bird shooting the rise is 10 yards
for 10 bore guns, and IA yards for 10 bore
guns.
In single bird shooting each contestent
shoots at three birds or more before leaving
the score, and in double bird shooting two
traps are pulled simultaneously, each con-
testant shooting at three pairs consecutiyely

Reseryoirs for the Rainless Belt.

j. w. Powell, Director of the Geological Sur
vey, is already engaged in planning four expe-
dtions to be sent out under the authority con-
tanned in the Sundry Civil bill, appropriating
100000 to investigate the practicability of
building reservoirs on the great watersheds of
the West to store the surplus water of the wet
season for irrigating the vast plains of Colorado
Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and other
States and Territories west of the rainess belt.
One exploring expedition will be sent to the
head of the Arkansas and Platte Rivers
in Colorado, another to the source of the Walker
River in Nevada, third to the ella watershed
in Arizona and the fourth to the source of the
Rio Grande del Norte. The parties will go fully
equipped with topographers' instruments, pho.
tographic cameras, etc, and probably be engag-
ed until cold weather.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON c. THURSDAY

after which we were marched to the railroad
depot, and there loaded on a train of fiat-cars,
which was already loaded with boiler iron, on
the top of which we were told to make our
selves comfortable. As we were going home
we would not have appreciated berth in pal
ace-car any more than we did our open freight
with its iron bedding At last we started east,
leaving Salisbury behind us forever. The train
was already heavily loaded, and with our
weight made it almost impossible for the loco
motive to ascend the grades, and several times
she would have to back down and wait until
she conld get head of steam before the engi-
neer could make it. We finally reached
Raleigh, and from there were taken to Colds
boro, where with large number of other pris-
oners from different prisons in the South, we
were marched in column of tours out over
the sandy soil to what they called the camp
for paroling prisoners. 1t was nothing but
a barren waste of sand. On our march to this
place | witnessed perhaps as touching and sor-
rowful scene as any that l have described

something an honorable soldier would scorn to
do, especially among those whom the fortunes OF
war had thrown into their hands as prisoners.
But it seemed such a thing as honor IN and
around a rebel prison pen was given no con-
sideration, but instead with spirit and dispo-
sition Characteristic of them, they thought
by picturing the lingering miseries and certain
death that awaited the prisoners If they did not
get out which they said could only be done by
snlisting in the service of the Southern Con-
federacy; at the same time telling the prisoners
who would congregate around them that the
United States had deserted and left them to
their fate, and they could not be blamed IT
they would desert and fight against country
that would not exchange them, knowing when
exchange was refused that it meant starvation
and death, as the Confederacy had nothing to
feed them with.
This kind OF argument together with the
promise TO clothe them comfortably and give
them plenty 20 eat and that they should not
Sc sent to the front, but would be detailed TO
do guard duty, they thought ought TO catch
come recruits; but 10 the honor Of these sorely-
tried and afflicted Union prisoners be It said,
not one OF them signifed his willingness to
gain bis freedom at the price Of his honor and
loyalty.
These officers seemed to be selected for the
BUSINESS, fer they were nicely dressed, and
their appearance gave assurance that they
we're well fed, and the contrast between them
snd the ragged, miserable and emaciated pris-
oners was visibly plain. Well do I remember

According to a careful statistician
the loss at Perryville, Mufresboro,
Chickamaugua, Atlanta, Gettysburg,
Mission Ridge, the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania, frequently reached
and sometimes exceeded, 40 per
cent, and the average killed or
wounded on one side or the other
was over so per cent. Waterloo
was one of the most desperate and
bloody battles IN the annals of Eu-
rope, and yet Wellington's casual
ties were less than II per cent. at
the battle of Wagram, Napoleon
lost about per cent; at Wurzlong,
the French lost 80 per cent, and
the army gave up the contest and
retreated to the Rhine; at ROcom,
Marshal SAKE lost % per cent; at
Zurich, Massena lost per cent; at
Laquz, Frederick lost .69 per cent I;
at Lodi, Napoleon lost II per cent !;
at Valmy, Frederick William lost 3
per cent; at Marengo and Auster-
litz, Napoleon lost an average of
less than IA per cent, and at Ma
genta and Solferino, the average loss
of both was less than 8 per cent.
These are only few of the great
modern engagements, and show the
enormous losses on the American
battle-fields as compared with those
across the seas under some of the
most renowned commanders Of the
old world. The value of the Ame-
rican soldier was known and recog-

of young men viii find these woe
fully sad statistics presentation OF
courage seldom before accorded to
any body of men since the world

the modest soldiers, who fought ac-
cording to the faith that was in
them, who came 50 often face to
