have been erected at Ushant; that all
the French warships recently mobil-

Facts About Our Country.

The United States are inhabited by
only five per cent, or one-twentieth
part, of the population of the world,
but these five per cent. of the worlds
people use one-third of the worlds
iron, steel and copper, one-quarter of
the worlds product of wool and more
than one quarter of its cotton. Texas
alone makes as much cotton as the
entire South did before the war, al
though less than one-tenth of her area
is in cotton lands. Since 1860 the
number of farm owning families in the
country has increased from 1850, 900
to 3,392,000, while farm-tenants'
families are only 2,132, 754, against
1,50S. $50 in 1860. Farm owners are
increasing more rapidly than farm
tenants, and of the two combined
5000, 900 families are at work on the
farms

The Government finds itself fortu-
nate in the ownership of such q
ground for the assembling, instruc-
tion, and man@uvring of troops as
the Chickamauga Park reservation
proves to be, writes General HI. V.
Boynton, in the New York Sun. I'm
der the act of Congress making the
park national maneuvring ground,
and authorizing the Secretary of War
to assemble there such a portion of
the regular army as he may choose,
and also to allow and arrange for the
concentration and instruction of the
National Guard, it was the intention
to inaugurate such use of the reserva-
tion during the coming season. The
Adjutant-Gener of the army was
considering what should be done in
this direction, and the troops of sew
eral States were looking forward to
summer or autumn camping at the
park. Suddenly the practical uses of
actual war set these plans aside, and
replaced them by others which in
volved the concentration of armies
and their preparation for battle.
No other nation owns such field
for maneuvres. Eleven square miles
of the tract are now fitted for regula-
ton camps. Eight of these are in
open forest, carefully cleared of un-
derbrush, and three square miles are
in fields. There are four square
miles within the legal limits of the
tract not yet purchased. This section
is largely forest, and is available for
maneuyres by which it might be de-
sired to instruct troops in movements
through virgin forest.
The entire area within the present
limits of the park is clear of fences, and
teams can drive over the fields and
through the woods in every part of it.
Whensthe forests were cleared out the
future use of the park for camp of in
struction was kept in mind, and orders
were given that room should be made for
teams to be driven through it in any
direction. The forest portion of the
tract was thus made practicable for
artillery movements as we'll as for
cavalry and infantry.
There are no swamp grounds in the
park, and the soil in all sections is ex-
cellent for camps. The natural drain
age is good, the whole tract rising
gradually from the Chickamauga River,
which bounds it on the east for several
miles, to the spurs of Missionary Ridge
on its western boundary. Aside from

Another interesting novelty in
plants is the little mimosa spegazzini,
first cultivated in the botanical gar
den in Rome. 1t was discovered in
the Argentine Republic by mission
aries
The pretty little plant is much hard
ier than the well-known sensitive
plant (mimosa pudica). 1t has the
same habit of shrinking and closing
it's leaves at the slightest touch. The
leaves are soon after raised and
opened, but at night they are invari-
ably closed.
The sensitive movement of the
plant is termed threefold one. First,
the feathery leaflets close, bending
their points forward; then the little
ribs that bear them move together,
and at last the stem of the leaf sinks
with it's four spindles.

ton the drive from Ringgold to the
western limit is eleven miles. From
Missionary Ridge at Rossville to Wau-
hatchie Ridge beyond Lookout Noun
tain is six miles. From the same point
by way of McFarland's Gap the western
boundary of the park to its southern
limits is eight miles. The total mile
age of the park system is over 100
miles.
A few concise statements will show
the advantages which the park pos
sesses for practical field instruction.
Standing on the point of Lookout, the
three mountain ranges and the river
over which General Rosecrans' s
strategic campaign extended are all in
full view. The front of his move
ment, which when it reached the Ten
nessee River after crossing the Cum
berland had front of $50 miles. can
be readily traced. All the battlehe. IS
mentioned in the course of this letter
can be located, and the ground of
| all the tactical movements of the
battles of Wauhatchie, Orchard Knob,
Lookout Mountain and Missionary
Ridge can be seen and readily under
stood. The observation towers upon
the battlefields of Chickamauga are
under the eye and show the relative
positions of the movements of that
engagement to those of the battles
about Chattanooga. Ringgold Gap,
the closing engagement in the series
OF battles embraced in the park sys-
tenn, is also clearly discernible.
Leaving Lookout Mountain and
taking position on Orchard Knob,
which was the headquarters of Gen
erals Grant, Thomas and Granger
throughout the battle of Chattanooga,
a near view is obtained of the Con-
federate position upon Missionary
Ridge, and the movements of the
Union troops in the Army of the Cum
berland, Army of the Tennessee and
Hooker's army for their dislodgment
can be readily followed. Passing to
the crest of Missionary Ridge and
driving along its summit, every feature
OF the Confederate position and all
the Union movements as seen from
that side are under the eye, as are
the battlefields of Lookout and
Chickamauga.
| Ihe observation towers upon the
Chickamauga field, which occupy the
highest elevations and rise above the
timber, enable the student to trace all
the tactical movements of the three
days operations upon that field. The

Their airship is made of silk aud is
now in transit to Vancouver, B. G.
It's capacity is 5000 cubic meters. It
carries $500 Kilograms (about four
tons). The great merit of the ship is
that it is impossible for it to lose any
gas. When any escapes it is force d
into separate chamber, where it is
kept for use when needed. The great
drawback to the airship is that it con-
tinually loses more or less gas.
This flying machine is the most
perfect in existence. It was built by
M. Mallet, who built Andree's famous
airship from the plans of the great
aeronaut, La Chambre 1t is oblong
in shape and is constructed on the
