strategic campaign extended ore 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 battlefelds
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 battlefelds 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,
o 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 battlefelds of Lookout and
Chickamauga.
The 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
Government road to Ringgold will be
completed early in the present season
and the lines of battle at that point
have already been ascertained and
partially marked.
1t was decided to establish the first
camps in the Dyer field, which in one
direction adjoin the ground where
Longstreet's columns broke the Union
lines on the second day of the battle,
and caused considerable portion of
the right of the army to be driven
from the field in confusion. At its
other extremity, it sweeps up to the
heights of Snodgrass Hill, where those
famous but unsuccessful attacks of
Longstreet's columns broke in unend-
ing succession of magnifcenta assaults,
continuing from 1 o'clock till sun
down, against the unshaken lines of
Thomas. These camps will be the
centre of a division line of three
brigades, if the present plan of estab-
fishing thereserve division at the park
is carried out.
It was also determined to estab-
lisn the right brigade in the fields
about the Bloody Pond in front of
Widow Glenn's, which was Rosecrans's
headquarters, and on the Viniard
field. AT this latter point, on Satur'
day, seven brigades on each eide swept
back aud forth In succeeding Vlotaslea

A Wise Dog.

Various monkeys, geese, goat,
eve with lamb, elephants, cats very
commonly, and dogs innumereb;e are
credited with "accosting" persons,
and bringing to their notice by vocal
means the objects they desire or the
actions they wish done. A most in
geniously constructed request Of this
kind was made few years ago by O
retriever dog late one nightin London.
The streets were empty, and the dog
came up, and, after wagging his tail,
began to bark, using not the rowdy
bark which dogs employ when jump
ing at horses head or when excited,
but the persuasive and confidential
kind of bark which is used in requests
and reproaches. he was very insist
ent, especially when small, dark
passage was reached, up which he ran
still barking. AS this did not answer,
the dog rem back, and took the writer's
hand in which he was carrying his
glove, in his mouth and gave gentle
pull in the direction of the passage.
As this did not meet with the atten-
ton desired, the dog pulled the glove
out Of the hand and carried it off up
the passage, keeping few yards in
front and waving its tail in friendly
way. This naturally led to pursuit,
when the dog, still keeping ahead,
dropped the glove in front of gate
leading into butchers yard, and be-
gan to bark again. AS it obviously
wanted the gate to be opened, this
was done, and it trotted in without
further remark. Every one who has
kept dogs knows the tone of the bark
of request-a low ''wouf," very unlike
the staccato bark of anger, or vexa-
tion, or remonstrance. Washington

Points on Incubators.

Old mother hen Is giving place IN
many sections to the incubator, and
when large numbers Of chicks are to
be raised this is undoubtedly the best
method of Matching. Unfortunately
many makers of incubators furnish di-
rections for running them which are
more or less obscure, so that the follow
ing points may be found helpful and if
closely followed may be considered
reliable.
Neither On incubator nor hen will
hatch infertile eggs. Obtain eggs pro.
duced by healthy, active hens mated
with vigorous males and the fertile
eggs will be very few.
Experience has shown that eggs for
all incubator should all be put in at
one time and nota trayful one day and
another the next day or the next
week. Start the incubator and after
it has been running afew hours put in
the eggs, selecting those which are
we'll formed and which have not been
exposed to the cold long enough to have
become chilled. The proper temper
ature is 103 degrees. though eggs will
hatch alta temperature ranging from
95 to los degrees, the lower tempera-
ture retarding and the higher temper
ature Fastening the Matching, while
the right temperature brings chicks
out on the 21st day. Every incubator
should contain several thermometers SO
that the temperature may be read in
different parts of the egg drawers, and
if not even, the position of the eggs
should be changed daily so that all will
have an equal chance.
The eggs should be cooled daily by
taking them out of the incubator fol
ten minutes o. more, the time depend
ing on the temperature of the room IN
which the incubator is located, and the
eggs should be turned while being
cooled. By the tenth day the amount
of animal heat from live eggs will hi
great and the artificial heat must be
regulated accordingly. If weather is
warm it may be necessary to dispense
with the lamp entirely. Care should
be used in removing the first lot o.
chicks from the machine not to chill
the remaining eggs. Open the door
as little as possible, and when each
lot is removed put in q jar or two Of
hot water, which will quickly bring
the temperature up again and also pro.
vide moisture. Asto ventilation and

Their airship is made of silk and is
of Andree

Their airship is made of silk and is
now in transit to Vancouver, B. @.
It's capacity is 5000 cubic meters. Il
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
NJ. Mallet, who built Andree's famous
airship from the plans of the great
aeronaut, La Chambre. 1t is obiong
in shape and is constructed on the
plans of the Unknown De Lisse sys-
tenn. The machine is steered by a
system OF guide ropes, which are
thrown from the car as occasion re-
quires.

1T Is A MYSTERY.

A writer in the North American Re-
view, Arthur Mark Cummings, under
the heading, death Instinct ia Ami
mails" gives a case of what seems to
have been 'transfereuce Of thought"
between a COW and her calf. He says:
"The farmer who owned them kept
the calf in his barn, but drove the COW
to distant pasture every morning
with the rest Of the herd. She soon
became reconciled to the arrangement
and was accustomed to feed quietly
until it was time to return to her calf.
One day the farmer killed the calf sud-
denly and painlessly. There was no
cutlery; 10 chance for the COW to see
the.deed. She was at a distance from
the barn, which apparently precluded
the possibility OF her knowing what
had been done. Yet no sooner was the
calf dead than she left her grazing
with the rest of the herd, and came up
to the barn lowing and showing every
symptom of uneasiness. There she
stayed from noon till milking time,
moving about restlessly as she had
never done before. There was no com
munication possible so far as human
senses could perceive between mother
and offspring: yet there is no doubt
that the COW had some dim knowledge,
and that she suffered more than the
calf did,
