The protective color changes shown
by many animals are a most interest
ing phenomenon. A study has been
made by DR.. F. W. Gamble and Prof.
r. w. Keeble of these changes IN
Hippolyte yarians, which IS a prawn
that spends it's life firmly attached to
seaweeds, and whose colors are shades
Of green or brown, often variegated
with stripes or spots of yellow or red.
IL driven from its home, it seeks
weed of it's own color, and when com
PEELED to take up with another It SLOW
ly changes color to that of the new
weed. The color changes are of three
kinds-a slow, sympathetic change to
the color of the surroundings, rapid
change due to increase in the lntensI-
ty of the light, and a periodic change
from the colors of day to a transparent
blue at night. The blue may have the
depth of indigo, with such Transparent
cy that the vital organs may be dis
tinctly seen. The tides produce two
changes of illumination daily, and the
praWnS change correspondingly, the
color-patterns seeming to depend more
on intensity than kind of light The

New trees in astonishing number
have been lately discovered by botan-
lists in the United States. Since the be-
ginning of this year, Prof. G. S. Sar-
gent has made known not less than
twenty hitherto undescribed species.
one (Gleditsia Texana) growing in the
valley of the Brazos river, Texas, to
a height of 100 to 125 feet, and a diam

are new species of Crataegus, the
genus which includes the hawthorn
and other towering thorns. Not less
than thirteen Of them are from the
Champlain valley, mostly near Middle
burg, VT, the others being scattered
from Quebec to Alabama, and as far
west as Missouri.
Thinking over the large castings of
which he has read, modern foundry
man recalls that two columns of King
Solomon's Temple were of cast brass,
inches thick, and weighed about a
tons each. To make such castings
would be an interesting piece of work
with even the appliances Of today.
The use of turf fiber for ordinary
textiles has been a subject of expert
ment in Germany by Herr Carl Geige.
The preparation of the material is
complicated process, but the product,
called turf wool, can be supplied at a
much lower price than cotton or fax,
so it is stated, and it is perfectly
adapted for spinning. Clothing and
hosiery stuffs made from a mixture of
equal parts of turf wool and sleeps
wool are found to have the appearance
of pure wool. The turf fiber Is little
affected by dampness, can be bleached
quite white, can be made to absorb
dyes of all kinds. and is a bad con-
ductor of heat It is firm and dura-
BILE enough to be useful for driving
bands for machinery.
Oxygen inhalation is reported by a

"GOOd bye Papa"

There were few dry eyes IN the
court room when the commission re-
turned their verdict of insanity
and the unfortunate man seemed TO
realize the gravity OF his situation
as the heartbrokcn wife bade him
farewell. As the officers started to
lead him from the room his little
daughter came TO him and reaching
up put her chubby arms around his
neck. Between her convulsive sobs
came the pathetic words, goodbye,
papa, ! guess III never see you
anymore.
The mental breakdown which set
tied as pail over this once happy
family, came after years OF concen-
trated nervous strain and overwork
had capped the brain and nerves OF
their vitality. How different might
have been the ending had that fond
father known what Mr.. George III.
Howard, OF Marshall, Ills, knows
today. Mr.. Howard says:
'The flrst trouble 1 noticed was
inability TO sleep followed by general
weakness, which continued until /
had to be taken TO and from my
store in a carriage. Finally had to
give up and for fve months was con-
fined TO the house with an attendant
night and day. For seventeen days
and nights ! never closed my eyes in
sleep. ! was taken to a private asy-
lum but In few days they brought
me back again to die. A friend
brought me a bottle OF DR.. Miles
Hervine and persuaded me to try it.
After taking One-half the contents l
began 10 get some sleep, and when I
had used three bottles i was able to
return to my store. Had / taken

CHAPTER XXI.
BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.

The reader is probably aware, that,
according to the plan originally chalked
out, detachment of some twelve or
fourteen hundred men had received Or
ders to embark in the Mississippi im-
medately after dark, on the evening Of
the 7th. That corps, under the COM
mand of Colonel Thornton, was des-
tined to make good its landing, and to
carry the enemy's batteries an hour
before dawn on the Sth. On our side,
again, nothing offensive was to he at
tempted till the sound of firing should
give notice that our comrades were
engaged-we were merely 10 take our
as circumstances would allow. Un-
happily, however, a multitude of uneX-
pccted disasters served to Illustrate the
most important Of these arrangements.
The banks of the canal gave way, the
boats were slow in arriving, and the
detachment was not in condition to
move till the day had actually broken;
Of these facts we were afterwards too
fatally made aware. But at the mo-
ment we knew nothing Of them; and
we arose, as we had beea directed, two
hours before dawn, and took our sta
tions.
Having been led to believe that the
| column, as soon as it was formed,
would move forward, our surprise may
be guessed at, when we found minute
after minute stealing away without the
J advance being commanded. For some
time we regarded the delay as acci-
dental merely, but by and lay feeling
Of apprehension arose lest matters
should have gone. in some important
point, awry, and we should he doomed
to a continuance Of that system of
vacilation and delay which we had SO
long endured, and which we all SO
keeniy rcprobatcd. At length, how.
ever, the word was given to push on
but it was given not till the eastern
SKY had begun to redden, and though
we obeyed it Immediately, we arrived
not within musket-shot of the works
till the day had dawned. Tie conse.
qnences were exactly such as might
have been expected. The Americans
saw us, and then opened upon us from
right to left, fire of muskctrv. grape
round-shot and canister, than which
h We certainl Y never witnessed any
more murdcrous.
Before | proceed to offer any de
scription Of this affair. it will be neccs
sary to state, somewhat more minutely
than have yet done. the manner il
which it was proposed that it shoult
be conducted.
The main attack, on the present oc
casion, was directed against the left 0
the American position. 1t was led CT
by Major General Gibbs, to whos'
prudence the regiments already named
with one black corps, were entrusted
To enable the troops to pass the ditch
