Modern Body Armor.

Inc experiments with bullet-prooi
coats and material which have been
conducted here and abroad have called
attention to the fact that mail protec-
tion did not entirely pass away with
the shelving of the shield and cuirass.
says the Boston Post. Many English
oincers still wear partial armor when
serving on foreign stations.
The commonest and most usual tvna
OF these projections consists of fine but
beautifully tempered single chains in
closed in soft leather, which runs
along the shoulders, down the outer
side of the arms and over certain parts
OF the body. These can either be sew
cd into a particular tunic or they can
be adjusted separately and put on like
harness. Hundreds upon hundreds of
these sets are sold. The most yaluahla
OF all chains in connection with accom-
terments are those which guard tbe
head and in cases where the regula-
ton cap or helmet is not sufficiently
protected in this way specially made
chains are sewed inside the same and
covered by the lining.
only those who have been in actpoI
conflict know how valuable all tbe
chains mentioned are in minimizino

An Heroic Insestlgator.

Agassiz. the Swiss American natura-
list was a wonderfully painstaking
student and worker from quite early
in life. His career, is, indeed, one that
should be inspiring reading to any boy
who loves something higher than his
sports and pastimes. The story has
lately been retold by DR.. c. f. Holder,
al published by an American firm.
An English writer recently reviewing
the book. says:
1T was Agassiz himself, and not his
books, who made a conquest OF the
Imagination of young America. There
was a time when he caught the ear
of an English public who were no less
ready than their American cousins 10

indomitable industry-of his making

and pay his draughtsman, and or MS
hunting the fish markets at Munich on
Fridays to buy rare and bony specl-
mems, to sketch first and eat after

"Then came Agassiz's discovery OF
the laws of glaciers, and of the pre-
vious existence of a glacial age over
temperate Europe. Agassiz
had deserted his fayorite fishes, fossils,
and frogs, and migrated to the glaciers
