W. Ripley TO move rapidly forward and
support the advance, and fastened to the
field in person. 1t took but glance to de-
termine that the enemys cannon In the
center, on the eminence around which the
fighting had been waged, was the key to
the British position. Ripleys brigade filed
up along the main river Tor Queenstown)
road until it came to Lundy's lane, where
the British battery was located. The
American engineer of the field quickly in
formed Brown that the British cannon
must be silenced. The leading battalion
of Ripley's brigade was the Twenty first,
led by Col James Miller, and when it
reached the lane Brown said to the com
mander, pointing to the British strong
hold, Colonel, take your regiment, storm
that work and take it." "I'll try, SIR" re
sponded Miller, and proceeded to the task
His men numbered about 300 and screen
ing themselves by the fence of the lane
and growth of shrubbery beside it, ap-
preached to within two rods of the battery
The British gunners stood with lighted
matches awaiting the word TO fire. 1t was
too dark for effective shots at long range,
and they were in readiness to receive attack
from any quarter Miller's men carefully
took aim and shot down every gunner,
then with a shout mounted the fence and
were upon the pieces before the British
could resist. A line of British infantry
lying near by AS supports opened upon Mil
ler's men with muskets and attempted to
retake the cannon by bayonet charge, but
were kept in check by a rapid fire of mus
kerry. Seven cannons, with the ammuni-
ton wagons and horses, fell into Miller's
! hands

A Curious Property Of the Diamond.

Mr. George f Kuntz well known as an
expert in gems, recently called attention In
the New York Sun, TO property Of the
diamond, which may be employed ms n
means Of distinguishing II from other sub
stances. Experiments made by Mr.. Kuntz
demonstrate that the statement (made by
Robert Boyle "a long ago as 1863 that
some diamonds phosphoresce in the dark
after exposure TO the sunlight or AN electric
arc light, Is true, also that all diamonds
emit light by rubbing them on wood, cloth
or metal This property will probably
prove Of great value in Distinguishing DO
tween the diamond and other hard stones
as well as paste, none Of which exhibit this
phenomenon, and will be welcomed by the
general public who do not possess the ex
perience Of the dealer in diamonds. The
property is evidently not electric. or II
would not be visible on being rubbed OF
metal
