But these were parts of great battles.
not duels, although L see they are
called duels by these fellows who write
history. The artillery fight at Port
Gibson was n duel-nothing more and
nothing less-and was witnessed by the
greater part of two armies who did
nothing but watch the gunners and
shout when the fur flew.
"In the spring of 1868 Gen. Grant was
maneuvering about Vicksburg in an eff
fort to get near enough to the fortified
city to strike an effective blow. Troops
below Nicksburg crossed to the east
bank of the Mississippi at Bruinsburg.
Port Gibson is ten or twelve miles east
of Bruinsburg. and at that point the
confederates were in force. At dawn on
May l, 1868, the two armies were face to
face.
"When we reached Port Gibson"
the Sauk City innkeeper continued,
both armies halted to take breath.
Way off toward the confederate line
was a solitary house. and near this was
the rebel artillery. While we stood
there n battery of confederate artillery
left the line, trotted out as if on parade,
swung around into line, and unlim-
bered. 1t was all done with the pre-
cision and nicely of parade at West
Point. Every man was in his place. we
| could see, although the distance was
| three-quarters of mile. There the
men stood, like so many statues in gray.
| Everybody asked what it meant, but
no one could say.
by Jove, it's challenge some one
finally calculated, And sure enough it
was.
There was no move in, our line for
minute or two; then the bugle of the
| First Wisconsin sounded. and out went
| the six guns, swung into line, and un-
| limbered. In 30 seconds the confeder-
ates saw that the challenge was accept
ed, and both batteries opened fire.
while the singular duel was in
progress from 12 to 90 shots were fired
from each gun. The First Wisconsin
was commanded by Capt. Jake Foster,
! an old Ozaukee county boy who went
out to Minnesota and enlisted at La
Crosse. He was good soldier himself
and his gunners were crackerjacks. and
those percussion shells made theconfed-
crates jump. 1t wasn't five minutes be-
fore they had enough and started to
| withdraw the battery.
"our boys disabled three guns, blew
up caisson or two, if remem Der right,
killed n confederate captain, and
wounded three or four gunners. Every
shot that told was greeted by a loud
cheer from our boys."-Milwaukee Sen

He In nm X-Rny Producer of the Most
Perfect Kind.
The "lightning bug" is an X-ray pro-
ducer of the most perfect kind. This
fact has been established by Prof. II.
Muraoka, who occupies the chair of
physics of the University of Kyoto,
Japan.
Prof. Muraoka was induced to per-
form his experiments with fireflies, or
lightning bugs" as they are popular
ly known in this country, by the re-
markable number of these insects that
infest the night air of Kyoto during the
month of June. From the very first he
suspected that there was some connec-
ton between the light of the FREELY and
the X-ray, and it was with view to
proving this connection that he under
took the investigation.
The experiment was performed by
placing about thousand of the insects
in small fiat box, in which they were
confined under a net made of hemp.
The box contained n Photographic dry
plate, in contact with which were plates
OF various metals, including copper, alu-
m:num, zinc and brass. All of the metal
plates were of the same thickness.
Sheets of cardboard, both entire and
with crosses cut in them, were placed
alongside of many of these plates.
All of these various pieces ofapparatus
were wrapped in several thicknesses of
black paper, and left in the box with the
flies for two nights in dark room.
The plates were then removed, and the
insects that had survived the involun-
tary ordeal in the cause of science were
allowed to go free. On examination it
was found that every one of the photo
graphic plates had undergone the usual
chemical change when such plates are
exposed to the light. They were all
| darkened to n greater or less degree.
And this was true not only of those
that had been subjected to the rays of
light emitted by the fireflies directly
but also in the case of those which had
been protected by plates of cardboard
and metal.
From the result of the experiment
Prof. Muraoka deduced the following
facts: /. The light emitted by the fire
| fly, before il passes through any sub
stances, such as metal, cardboard or
wood, is like an ordinary light, and
is plainly visible. 2. After it passes
through one or more of these substances,
| il is no longer visible to the naked eye
but is capable of affecting the chemical
coating of Photographic dry plates, in
this respect acting exactly like the "
ray discovered by Prof. Roentgen. 8
The light admits of reflection and re
fraction.-N. Y. Journal.

FIVE HAPPY MEN.
Cheers Greet the Competitors Crew OF
Their Arrival in New York.

Their Arrival in New York.
New York, Nov. 23.-The steamer
Saratoga, from Havana, having on
board the released members of the
Competitor flibustering expedition,
arrived here Monday. The men are
Capt Alfredo Laborde, William Gil.
dea, Ona Melton, William Leavitt and
Charles Barnett, an Englishman. The
released men wore the clothes in
which they were clad at the time OF
their capture, April 25, 1896. Another
happy passenger on the Saratoga was
Arteaga Quesada, the young Cuban
who was ordered by Weyler to be shot,
but was pardoned by Blanco. The six
men were greeted upon their arrival
here by an enthusiastic crowd.
Young Quesada said: 1.-TWO promi.
nent Spanish generals, one briga.
dier, whose name l do not care to
mention, and Gen. Arolas principally
concerned themselves in my release.
They feared me because they knew
had disclosures to make which would
ruin them. They were in constant
communication with the insurgent
generals.
Probably the most wretched of the
Competitor crew is Ona Melton, the
newspaper correspondent. In describ.
ing his capture and subsequent treat.
ment Melton said that when the first
shot was fred by the Spanish gunboat
he and two companions lowered boat
and tried to escape. They were pur.
sved and captured a short distance
from the shore. On board the gunboat
they were bound with ropes and were
prodded with sharp pointed sticks
which punctured their flesh. They
were afterwards thrown into a eel
and fed but once day. After the first
six days the prisoners were fed twice g
day, but the food barely supported life

In the life of Whittier it is told how
in the days of the civil war, an old
Quaker from the New Hampshire hills
came down for an interview with the
good poet. The Green mountain dis
ciple of Fox was the owner of sturdy
lot of oak trees. The government had
set its eye upon them, and wanted to
buy them. The Quaker knew that the
purpose of the bargain must be to get
timber for the new war ships that
were building. He hardly knew wheth-
er u sale for such purpose was con-
sistent with the gospel ofpeace. Whit
tier, either seeing that the mans mind
WAS pretty thoroughly made up to the
bargain, or else considering that there
was such a thing as pushing n good
creed too far, would only say: 'Well.
friend, if thee dost sell any timber to
the United States. be sure that it is all
sound" The oak from that Quaker's
farm was in the Kearsarge when she
taught the Alabama to the finish,

opening with gate or cover, Through
this tube the lighted match is inserted
and withdrawn, and then the gate is
closed to prevent the entrance of air.
Tie inventor makes the following
claim:
~ The chimney need be handled
only when cleaning; therefore, the liza
bility to break is diminished. (2) The
bother of lighting hanging and bracket
lamps and such lamps as are provided
with canopies is greatly reduced. (3)
If the lamp is accidentally extinguished
after it is once lighted, one does not
burn his or her fingers in relighting it.
(+) The metallic part of the invention
is detachable and is not destroyed when
the chimney breaks. You buy new
chimney, already punched, and fit the
tube into it. The metal lasts as long as
the lamp, perhaps longer.-N. Y. Trib-

1t Is One of the Most Potent Curative
Agents known.
NJ. Rochard, of Paris, in his great
encyclopedia, states: Every one knows
the influence exercised on the appetite
and working of the digestive functions
of any person by mirthful ideas, agree
able surroundings, or the fact of eating
in company instead of alone"
Noirot, the author of the Art of
Living Long" said: Nothing so much
helps digestion as mirth.'
According to Pope, Lord Lanesbrow
used to begin dancing when he felt
an attack of gout coming on. Laughter
is said to be powerful adjunct in cur
ing pleurisy. DR.. Denis Prudent Roy
claimed that mirth aided greatly in the
treatment of bronchial catarrh. 1t gives
shocks to the chest greatly promoting
alveolar and bronchial eXcretion and
acting like an electric machine. There
is historic case of laughter curing
brain fever. Cases of intermittent fever
have disappeared under its influence.
II produces quickened circulation and
gives certain muscles an impulse which
sometimes acts curatively.

The x-Ray in Dentistry.

The X-ray is likely to prove of great
value in dentistry. Teeth are plainly
revealed before their eruption. How
ever deeply imbedded in its alveolar
socket, each fang may be correctly To-
Gated. An eXostosis, a pocket of
necrosis, of suppuration, or of tubercu-
losis is distinctly shown. The location
and extent of metallic filings are de-
lineated. The pulp chamber is so clear
ly outlined that erosions and enlarge
ments may be readily detected. If, dur
ing an effort at extraction, the fang
OF tooth has been forced INTO the
antrum, it is with great difficulty To-
ca ted with a probe.

nrnin Light anna prenms.

Prof, Scripture, of Yale, has found
reason to think that the faint light
which we can see in darkness, or with
closed eyes, and which appears in the
form of rings, waves and irregular fig
ures, is due, not as is generally sup
posed, to chemical changes going on in
the retina, but to something occurring
in the brain, and he proposes TO call it
cerebral light" Itappears tc be locat-
ed Sin those higher centers of the brain
which are connected with visual mem
ories and imaginations." A close con-
nection has been observed between
these cerebral-light figures and the con-
tents of dreams, and Prof. Scripture
suggests that the hallucinations pro-
duced by drugs, like hashish, may be
simply notifications of such figures.
