Virginia The sun had sunk the night
before, looking down with his last
glance on a scene of strife. He arose
again in beauty. The eastern sky was
glowing with his presence. The slum-
bering world awoke. The leaves were
dripping wet with pearly dew The
clover blossomed in the fields through
which we marched. The scene was one
of peace on earth. But the demon of
strife came down on it. / saw the

The leaves of the trees rolled down over
his shoulders as though touched by a
heavy frost. Ten thousand bullets cut
the branches and leaves from the trees
about his head. The rider was calm
and quietly led on his troops. He
seemed to be clad in invisible armor

to keep our eyes open. We soon got
the range and could see the missiles
coming. and could tell about where
they would light The Confederate
skirmishers came on unmolested. and
kept firing into the woods, expecting
an answer. The to word fall in was
given with the word charge, and we ran
UP the hill and through the woods, right
close to the heels of our enemy. over
the works they went, head over heels.
Some kept on running. some laid behind
the works, some came back to us with
outstretched arms and surrendered.
Four regiments were now firing into the
bewildered Confederates, who were
skulking close to the ground. All at
once a Strengthening man. without
weapons or equipage of any kind, put in
an appearance, as if he had come up out
of the ground, and within twenty-five
feet of the Thirtieth-Indiana, with
form erect, walked nearly a mile into
his own lines. Nearly two thousand
soldiers fired at him from one to fOGr
shots apiece, but he never wavered nor
looked back once. We could see the
dirt fly all around him. yet he went
safely back to his own lines whence
he came.

The Rocket in War.

The world was recently startled by
the announcement that Frenchman
named Turpin had invented an engine
of war so terrible that the nation pos
sessing it would have the power Of
annihilating its opponents-so dread a
machine that its very might would
probably put an end to war altogether
The records of the French patent office
reveal the fact that this engine of de-
struction, which should act as a sort Of
cast-iron Jupiter Tonans. is a rocket.
Inventors in all ages have been struck
with the great advantages of the rocket
as a missile over the ordinary cannon
with its projectile. First, the rocket
carries its propelling power with il,
while the projectile receives only a big
push, as it We're, at the beginning. The
cannon ball must move more and more
slowly as it goes; the rocket may 90
faster and faster. The cannon ball inn
plies an enormously heavy and awk-
ward piece of artillery: for setting off
the rocket nothing is needed but a light
portable frame or carriage.
The first military rockets that made
much stir We're those of Congreve.
which did good work in the lombard
ment of Copenhagen and also in the
Crimea.
But they did not always go straight.
The inventors then tried to make a
rocket which, like the breech- loading
rifle, should cause its projectile to ro-
tate swiftly. To do this and still keep
the rocket in a straight and even line
is a difficult problem.
To this end, instead of providing a
rifled cannon tube. Turpin gives his
rocket preliminary spin by the aid of

wright appointed him a missionary to
Iowa to establish church societies.
There was no missionary fund and he
had to sustain himself by his own eff

At Flint Hills in 1884. he organized
the first Protestant Christian society
in the state of Iowa. He preached the
first sermon ever heard in Rock Island

Illinois Methodist conference, which
then embraced Illinois, Wisconsin and
Iowa. He was assigned to the Knox
willie mission, which included what are
now Henderson, Warren, Knox and
Mercer counties. Two years later he
constructed a rude sleigh called a
''pung," or Jumper" which was formed
by cutting two saplings and bending
them for runners and thills Having
no harness he fastened the rig to the
sides of the saddle on his horse, and
with this unique conveyance he travelled
200 miles, starting from Peoria. Ill.
