I'm the year 1885," Tonty says in his
memoir, II arrived at the fort of Chi
cagou, where NJ. De la Durantayc COM
manded." This was the first fort here
OF which we have any account, writes
Edward Gay Mason, in the New England
Magazine for April, and was probably a
stockade structure constructed By Du-
rantayc in 1885. Tonty also marched
from the Illinois with sixteca French
men and two hundred Indians to take
part in this campaign. and according to
one account he came by the way of Chi
cago and mustered some recruits there.
perhaps from the garrison of the fort
lie led his party across the country to
Detroit, where he met Durantavc and
two other famous pioneers. La Forct and
Daniel Greysolon Du Lhut, from whom
the present city of Duluth takes its name.
They had large body of French and
Indians from the upper lakes. and the
united force pushed on to Niagara
ana joined the governor generals army
ut the rendezvous on the southern
shore of Lake Ontario, near the Seneca
country. Two thousand five hundred
men marched through the wilderness
toward the great town of the Senecas,
with Durantaye Tonty and Lhut and
their couriers de bois in the van. In
the narrow defile the advance, scpa-.
rated from the main body, came upon
an ambush of three hundred Indian
warriors, who closed upon their rear
with yells of triumph, thinking this de-
tachment to be the whole army. But
better leaders for such fray there
could not be than these three intrepid
frenchmcn, who held their wood
rangers steadily to their work, until
suddenly through the forest came the
main body, headed by four companies
OF the fighting Carignan regiment, and
the Senccas suddenly abandoned the
field. Their great town was taken and
destroyed, and down to our own time
their descendants knew the scene of
their crushing defeat by the French az

PHILOSOPHY OF THE elzzARp.

How 1t Aids the Ostrich TO Display Ex-
traordinary Digestive Ability.
fowls gizzard, where SO many lost
articles turn up, is a curious trap as well
us necessary vital organ OF the fowl.
Diamonds pearls, coin, buttons. tacks,
orange peel and1about everything else,
save dynamite, have been found in the
gizZards of fowls. A study of the organ
is interesting. Experiments have dem
onstratcd that what may be called the
gastric juice in fowls has not sufficient
power to dissolve their food without the
aid of the grinding action of the giz-
card. Before the food is prepared for
digestion, therefore, the grains must be
subjected to n triturating process, and
such as are not sufficiently bruised in
this manner, before passing into the
gizZard, are there reduced to the proper
state by Its natural action. The action
of the gizzard is, in this respect, me-
chanical, this organ serving rs n mill to
grind the feed to pieces, and then, by
means of its powerful muscles, pressing
1t gradually into tho intestines in the
form of pulp. The power of this organ
is said to be sufficient to pulverize hol-
low globules of glass in q very short
time, and solid muses. of the same sub
stance in few weeks. The rapidity of
this process seems to be proportionatc
generally TO the size of the bird. a
chicken, for example, breaks up such
substances as are received into its stom-
ach less rapidly than the capon, while q
goose performs the same operation
sooner than either. Needles and even
re rix "a
broken in pieces and voided without
any apparent injury to the stomach.
The reason undoubtedly is that the
larger species of birds have thicker and
more powerful organs of digestion.
1t has long been the general opinion
that from some deficiency in the diges-
tive apparatus fowls arc obliged to re-
sort to the use of stones and gravel in
order to enable them to dispose of the
food which they consume Some have
supposed that the use of stones is to
shcathe the gizzard in order to fit it to
break into smaller fragments the hard,
angular substances which might be
swallowed. They have also been con-
sldcred to have n medicinal effect
Others have imagined that they acted
us absorbents for undue quantities of
acid in the stomach, or us stimulants to
digestion, while it has ever been grave
~ asserted that they contribute direct
ly to nutrition. The Hartford Times
claims that repeated experiments, how
ever, have established that pebbles are
not at all necessary to the trituration
of the hardest kinds of substances
which can be introduced into their
stomachs; and, of course, the usual food
of fowls can bc bruised without their
aid. They do, however, serve Il useful
auxiliary purpose When put in motion
by the muscles they are capable of pro-
ducing some effect upon the contents of
the stomach, thus assisting to grind
down the grain and separating its parts
SO that the digestive fluid or gastric
juice comes more readily in contact
with it
