BOILING WATER.
At High Attitudes 1t Is Not Hot
Enough to Cook Potatoes.
New Orleans Thnes-Democrat.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
"Cold boiling water, indeed Boiling water
is the hottest kind of thing. Don't l know ?
Haven't l scalded my fingers more than once
with water from the teakettle?"
James is right and yet he Is wrong. Boiling
water is not always very hot water In spite of
his painful experience.
This is the way it happens.
When water boils ordinarily it is because
great heat mas separated the tiny particles of
the water. forcing upward and outward in
lively bubbles the air which is contained in
them This is done In spite of the downward
pressure OF the atmosphere. After the water
has become hot enough TO boil it can get no
hotter, because the air escapes as fast as it is
suff1ciently heated TO do so.
Ihere are places on the earth where the
pressure OF the atmosphere npon the water IS
SO slight that IL requires but little heat TO push
apart the particles an1 set free the air bubble,

TOLD BY FELIX AGNUS.

1t was my fortune to command in several
regiments OF New York infantry in the
last war, and to witness many acts of fear
less devotion to duty and unfiinching hero
ism. With so many instances OF bravery
and daring within my recollection it is
hard to select one that may be ciassed as
prominent. Still. / think, that the palm
NAV be awarded to colonel OF one of the
regiments that formed part of my brigade
and those who were witnesses OF his heroic
action will agree with me in bestowlng
upon him the due appreciation OF his
valor.
Colonel Abel Smith of Brooklyn, n. Y.
commander of the One Hundred aud
Sixty-fifth New York Regiment, is the
brave man to whom L refer.
The deed which l am about to describe
was performed at The stOrmiDg of Fort
Hudson, when so many thousands lost
their lives in the attempt to capture the
enemy's position.
A solid parapet surmounted by blazing
row of muSkets confronted us. pouring out
a deadly stream of bullets. That was not
all, for in addition to this shower of small
shot there was the repeated booming of
cannon with the swish of the screaming
grape-shot as il plowed great burrows in
the ranks of the attackers.
Regiment after regiment had gone boldly
to the front, always with tue same result
1T was impossible to stem the torrent of
lead poured out against them, and they
were forced to retire. leaving great num-
bers of their slain.

He was Republican Presidential cleo

to me that Bishop was drinking and gam

planning 10 secrete him in a tunnel and
keep him there until after the meeting of

one vote required to elect him. 1t is not
improbable that this programme would
have been carried out had not a rel liza bic
guard been detailed to keep Bishop in con-
slant view until he entered the cars for
Carson the next morning.
1t may not be true, but story is told to
the effect that during a game of poker in
Phoebe, with five or six parties engaged,
Bishop held two straight fushes within
half an hour. Such luck looked suspicious
and one of the sufferers finally remarked /:
This may be square game, but if run
uD against any more such hands some
gentleman will lose his other eye" As
Bishop was the only one at the table who
had lost IN eye the remark was thought to
be rather personal. K. M. DAGGETT.

pet amounted to an advance on certain
death. Finally the turn Of the 165th New
York came round to attempt the effort
that had proved fatal to so many CON-
rades. The men were marched to posi-
ton within range of the parapet and then
ordered to lie down for protection. With
the sight of so many dead comrades before
them it was necessary to instil a spirit of
bold resolve into the men for the desperate
work before them, and this was done by
their commander.
Going to the front of his command
Colonel Abel Smith stood erect in the
midst of the storm of bullets and appealed
TO his men to follow him to carry the
works.
When his immediate comrades urged
him to lie down and not expose himself to
certain death he smilingly replied in the
words that were used by Napoleon on q
similar occasion, The bullet that is to end
my life has not yet been cast"
AS he said those words he turned to his
bugier to order the charge. The whole
regiment had felt the contagion of his
bravery and rose as one man to follow
him.
But at the moment when he turned to
lead his men onward the words he had
uttered to encourage his comrades were
belied, for he fell pierced through the
heart by the bullet which he had disre-

With an enthusiastic yell he led the rush.
Not bullet touched him. The Floridians
saw that there was no escape and ceased
firing. 10 less than a minute the Union
troons were in the pits. while few of the
Confederates took their chances of escape
by scattering over a wheat field. Several
