The Soldiers Pace in Marching.

Inc SOAUAcES IACG In NA0FCn1n8
Apropos of marching, Col. Hutton
reminds us that the marching value Of
sn army is that Of its worst regiments
rather than Of It's best, for we cannot
afford to march so as to outmarch our
worst regiments and thus deplete them
Of their men. The rate Of marching
laid down in the infantry drill, 1892
that is, 12O PAGES Of 80 inches per min
ute-gives a rate Of 3 miles 72O yards
per hour, or including 5 minutes halt,
3 miles 22O yards per IS minutes. This
pace is, in the opinion of this officer,
obviously too great for the movement
Of larger units of command than q bat
TALON, or perhaps of q weak brigade
without baggage train. It. is universal
" accepted by continental authorities
that the rate for marching under cam
paigning conditions is two and one
half miles per hour, including 5 to 10
minutes halt. The French, who have
the tradition Of being the best march
ers, lay down in precise form the rate
OF march for their infantry ut 2.48
miles per hour, including 10 minutes
halt, giving, therefore, 2.48 miles In 50
minutes, or sos yards per minute.
The Alpine chasseurs-the pick Of the
French Infantry, who take special pride
in their marching p0Wers-march at
the rate OF 5 klometers, or three miles
and one-tenth per hour, including 10
minutes halt, or 3.O1 miles In so min
utes.-Lond0n eNws.

Liquid Oxygen.

Prof. Dewar, who has liqui1ed oxy-
gen and air. and succeeded in exhibit
ing those interesting liquids to Il room
full Of spectators in England, has also
shown that liquitied oxygen is strongly
magnetic. When he placed a quantity
of it in a dish just beneath the poles
Of an electro-magnet the oxygen ose
out Of the dish and formed itself into
a liquid link connecting the magnetic
poles,
Then it began to boil until upon the
circuit being broken it fell back into
the dish like drops of water.
When he experimental in a similar
manner with liquifed air it, too, rose
from the dish and attached itself to
the poles Of the magnet, the nitrogen
rising with the oxygen and showing
no tendency to separate from 1t.
Cotton wool, when dampened with
liquiied oxygen, was Immediately at
tracted to and held by the magnet,
and the liquid was wen drawn out Of
the wool by the magnetic attraction
and left deposited upon the poles.
1t is evident that q new field of sci
entific wonders has been opened up by
the recent experiments with liquifed
gaSe.

How y Brave Yankee Skipper

During the war Of 1872 the good PEG
pie Of Newport, r. l., were kept on
the ground hop" by q British brig

along the coast, blockaded the harbor
and continually threatened to land

joyed the fun of frightening the New
porters. The blockade, however, CON-
PEELED coasters, little sfat-bottomed
sloops, to creep along shore under cover
of night on their way to and from
New York. One captain Of a sloop had
a fight with the British and beat them
off,. The story Is told in "reminiscences
of Taunton" says the New York Re-
corder.
Capt. Maybury, a brave young man,
had made a voyage to New York In a
sloop and was returning with a cargo
Of supplies. The Nimrod, discovering
his vessel, sent a barge to capture her.
He crowded or all sail and Rugged
the shore; but, the breeze being light,
the barge gained upon him.
An old iron swivel was on board,

heavily with powder, filed up to the
