q Hartford reporter, Lieutenant MOSS
said:
During the last four or five years
the bicycle as practical machine for
military purposes has been attracting
the attention of military men both in
this country and abroad. In foreign
armies, however, the matter has been
been brought to q moro practical
stage than in this country. AS early
as 1870 the bicycle was used In the
Italian army. In France, Austria,
Switzerland and other European coun'
tres there. are nax in the armies reg;

Gently there have been numerous ex-
pertinent made in this country, both
bv officers Of the regular army and by
tho National Guard. The interest in
the subject has so increased that there
is no doubt that in the course of the
next few years every regiment in the
regular army will have its bicycle
corps. General Miles is an enthusiast
on the subject, and in his last report
recommended the organization OF q
regiment OF bicycle infantry. have
Just completed the organization of a
bicycle corps of ten men at the post,
which will make extensive experiments
during the summer. The work that
has been laid out includes the rapid
conveying OF messages from Fort Mis-,

;of signal stations, route sketchlng,

tnimalS' Illusions.

Birds are perhaps more commonly
the victims of illnsion than other ani-
mails, their stupidity about their eggs
being quite remarkable. Last year,
for instance, hen got into pavilion

on golf ball in corner, for which it
made nest with couple of pockef
handkerchiefs. But many quadrupeds
are not only deceived for the moment
by reflections, shadows and such un
realities, but often seem victims to II
lusions largely developed by the i'm
a2ination.
The horse, for instance, is one OF
the bravest of animals when face tt

stand, such as the charge of an ele.
phant or wild boar q; bay. Yet the
courageous and devoted horse, so
steadfast against the dangers he knows,
is o prey to a hundred terrors Of the
imagination due to illusion, mainly
those of sight, for shying, the minor
effect of these illusions, and "ool:ing, "
in which panic gains complete posses

by mistakes as to what the horse sees,
and not by misinterpretation of what
he hears. 1t is noticed, for instance,

it is a curious question in equine

specimens OF tho kind, weighing from

them to be fully rs dangerous as the
