BATTLE OF SEPT. 10.

This attack Of Gen Thomas at early morn
ing, Sept. 10, was the opening Of the battle
of Chickamauga. But it was not the opening
Bragg had anticipated.
Sept 10 Bragg gave his orders to his gem
erals for next day. His troops were to cross
the Chickanau5a at three different points,
from Reeds bridge on the north. next by
AIexanders bridge south, and third by led
fnrd.s ford still f,1rthe south These cross.

The famous battle takes its name from
creek or small river that flows north through
the valley between Mission Ridge and Pigeon
mountains and enlpties into the Tennessee
four miles above Chattanooga
With Bragg, Sept. Is, were four corps:
Those of B1ckner, Polk. Walker and D. Il.
Hill. D. H. Hill had been sent from Rich
mond to take command OF Hardee's corps.
By the arrival of Longstreet from Lee's
army Bragg had i've corps.
In the fight of Sept. %. Confederate autho-
rites put the Union force at nearly 5000, and
the Confederate at 4g.0O0 Federal figures
say Bragg had 10000, Rosecrans 5000
electives With Bragg were many Confed-
crate soldiers who had been captured at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson and been patvled,
but who had not yet been exchanged.
Sept. ID McCook's corps was still at Alpine.
In the western edge of Georgia. At midnight
of that day he received an order to hurry
with all speed and support Thomas at
Stevens Gap, on the east side of Mission
Ridge. When McCook first reached Alpine,
finding himself isolated from the rest Of the
Union army he had sent his wagon train
back to the top of Lookout range
McCook made oil hsste To obey. The order
he received came directly from Thomas Its
instructions were to move two divisions OF
his corps to Stevens Gap, and leave the third
to guard the wagon train. McCook took the
wrong road, crossed Lookout range, was
Obliged to recross it, and after march of great
hardship and fatigue reached NcLemore's
Cove on the night Of Sept II. With him
were Stanley and the cavalry.
Crittenden had been ordered also to move
forward his corps and connect with Thomas
on Chicka1nauga creek. Sept. IA he moved
his corps, except Woods division, to Mission
Ridge.

UninflammabIe Wood.

AT the instance of the Belgian Min
lister OF Public Works. Messrs. Goulin
and Denny have investigated the sub
ject OF rendering wood fire-proof.
They report that the resistance Of
wood to heat may be considerably in.
creased, though absolute incombusti-
bility can not be secured. The resist
ing material must take the form of an
injection into the fibers of the wood or
of coating; and it must be not too ex.
pensive, non-corrosive, speedy in be-
coming fixed, easily applied. neat and
unalterable. An injection of con-
centrated solution of phosphate Of
ammonia is recommended as the best
treatment for small pieces of wood;
but more generally available plan is
coating with cyanide of potassium or
asbestos paint Science.

SNAKES IN INDIA.

man and Naturalist.
| Rev. j. F. Tenison-Woods, on tn,
snakes of the Indian archipelago. OBJ
serves that the cobra never exceeds tn,
length of about five feet, and that tn,
larger snake with which it is Otter
confused is of different species. called
hamadryas ophiophagus. The h una
| dryas, which resembles the cobra in
having a hood or dilatable neck. at
tains the length of fifteen feet. and
feeds chiefly upon lizards and snakes,
1t is aboreal in its habits, but shows q
great Partially to water, to which il
will readily take. 1t is very fierce and
is ready not only to attack but to pur-
sue human beings. Its venom is
nearly as deadly as that OF
the cobra. Mr.. Tenison-Woods has
heard of many instances of it's fero-
cious character-that is to say, of its
turning on those who attacked it and
showing fight.
AT II picnic. he says, some officers of
the Twenty-seventh regiment gave
chase to large hamadryas, but they
had not gone very far when it turned
on its pursuers and quickly scattered
them. 1t then took to the water where
it was followed by two of the party in
II boat, but it soon tried the expert
ment of boarding, and made the row .
ers exert their powers to get away.
Mr.. Tension. Woods makes mention of
the sea snakes as being wonderfully
numerous in all the seas of India and
China. 1t is difficult, he says, to ex-
aggerate the numbers one sees on the
surface of the water on calm day. He
continues:
when off the coast Of Borneo in her
Majesty's ship Pegas,s we had some
very fine, calm days, ,hen the sea was
like glass or oil. On every side We
were surrounded by specimens of these
reptiles between two and three feet
long. l have seen the same thing on
many different calm days; in fact, l
don know any place where they seem
more numerous than the Bornean
coasts. l frequently saw nearly as
large an assemblage in the Philippine
seas. | should say that bathing was u
very perilous business in those locali-
ties, for the serpents are very venom
Gus. and there are many authentic
records of disastrous results from their
bites"
Mention is then made of the python
reticuatus, or boa. This species is
said to be very numerous, and has
disagreeable habit of coming to live in
the thatch of houses, emerging at night
to take its prey, in pursuit of which it
is not particular whether this is some
OF the rats and mice of the house or
the chickens and fowls of the poultry
yard. Mr.. Tenison-W proceeds:
Recent writers have described the
fear which the natives have of this rep
tile, on account of its sometimes at
lacking man. This | can not believe.
and whenever | have been in the Malay
peninsula, Java, CeIebes and the Mo
luccas, have never found natives much
afraid of them. As to their swallowing
II man, or even large child, the idea
is too preposterous to be seriously en-
tertained. Neither do | believe that its
strength is so great as is gen
orally believed, though no doubt its
crushing power is considerable. -
