Federal regiments at their heels. In a
few minutes 460 prisoners are brought
into Warren's lines, with two battle

Oct. IA Warren's corps was within a
days march Of the goal, but owing to
the crowded roads came to a halt on
the banks Of Cedar run. The road
ahead having been cleared during the
night, Warren prepared to move on to-
ward Catletts Station, when his biv-
ouac was suddenly fired upon from the
direction Of Catlet4s. The fire was
from the guns Of Stuart, who in the
darkness had slipped in between War
rem and the corps ahead, and actually
slept the night through with one eye
open for fear he would be discovered
and captured.
Daylight showed that Warren was
alone, and Stuart learned, too, that
Ewelps Confederate corps was at War
ren's heels. So close were the Confed-
crates that some Of Stuart's shells,
passing over the heads of Warren's
men, dropped in Bwells ranks. But
Stuart was given TO impulse, and he
had opened fire upon division Of War
ren's at breakfast, not knowing that
another Federal division, having the
right Of way that morning. was march
ing up behind ridge close under his
guns. When these troops retaliated
upon his, cannoneers with volleys of
bullets Stuart called the game off and
golloped away toward Catlett's, fol-
lowed by Warren.
Warren had been told that he would
find his own people, the Fifth corps, un-
der Sykes, at Bristol Station, two miles
beyond Catlett's. He intrusted his d.
vision generals to lead the march and
remained himself with the rear guard
to see what Ewell's Confederates might
attempt in the emergency. Suddenly
from up the track, In the direction of
Bristoe, there is an outburst of guns.
Warren quits the crowded road for the
open fields and gallops to the front.
Sykes corps had been Swallowed to
Bristoe by HilYs Confederate corps
just as Warren's had been followed by
Ewell and Stuart. Hill's column was
led BY General Heth, the man who
opened the battle Of Gettysburg. Catch.

Painstaking Investigati0ns.

The Investigations concerning the
longitude differences between Greenwich
and Paris have now been completed.
The work has been of a particularly ar
duous and protracted nature, necessitat-s
ing enormous calculations, says the Sci:

Altogether, the English and French
observers have carried out 23O observa-.
lions, equivalent to 80 nights work each.
Two English and two French observers
have been engaged upon the task. The
observations were made at Greenwich
and Paris simultaneously and, in order
to obtain similar results, the instru-
ments we're frequently interchanged.
The results Of these observations have
proved both the Greenwich and Paris

The battle was fought at the entrance

over the water for several hundred
yards around was red with blood, says q
Seattle report.
First omcer J. 8. Lawrence, in telling
OF Il, said:
The sWordfish was not visible dur
ing the fight, but from what know Of
similar battles, It is probable that he
was underneath the water engaged in
prodding the whale. Every time the
sWordfsh, which is generally u or IA
feet long, struck the monster the mon
ster would rise out of the water. The
'thrasher' would jump completely out
Of the sea, and, spinning around on its
head for a few seconds until It had the
head Of the whale located, II would then
descend with a splash that looked Ike
a building topping into the sea and
strike the whale. The latter would then
start to sound or dive, but the sword
fish would prod It from underneath IN
til II rose out Of the water to again be
struck by the thrasheT.
This was repeated time and time
again. The noise Of the fight was loud
enough to be heard for miles. Even
tually the whale began to spout streams
OF blood, and, as the passengers passed
out Of sight, his awkward motions be-
came feebler and feebler."

A LIFE-SAvING KITE.

OF late years the kite has emerged
from the position Of a mere toy, and
has been successfully employed for
meteorological observations at high al
titudes. A more recent application Of
the kte-principle is as a life-saving
appliance to be carried on shipbOard,
its particular duty being to establish
communication between a stranded
vessel and the adjacent shore. II
stands to reason that a ship in this
position generally has the assistance
of the wind In carrying anything
shorewards, and Il would be far easier
to launch kite under such conditions
that II would be to fire a rocket in the
reverse direction. The kite carries q
guide-rope, and contains in a pocket
a set Of signals and instructions. It is
furnished with apparatus for tele-
phonic communication between the
crew and their would-be rescuers. But

UNsELFISH PHYSICIANS.
Nothing 20 the Public Than
the Medical.

There is a disposition often to scoh
at the code Of ethics by which doctors
OF medicine are goVerned-at the rule
which brands as a quack any practi-
toner who keeps for his own exclusive
use and profit any discovery he may
make Of a curative agent. Yet there
Is no other profession which gives
more for nothing to the public, and
whose giving in that respect is absO-
lutely without selfish motive, says the
Cleveland Leader.
This is illustrated by a recent state
ment to the effect that the revenues
Of the medical profession in recent
years have practically been cut in two
by the hygienic reforms which have
been brought about by the efforts Of
the doctors alone. That statement is
well within the realm Of truth. Med
ical science is constantly striving to
make II possible for the human race
to get along with less medical treat
ment Not only are the efforts Of in
vestigators directed to the discovery Of
new and more effective remedies for
disease, but to discover means Of pre-
venting the spread and even the ineep-
ton Of disease. Broadly speaking, the
doctors are working continually to de-
prive themselves Of occupation and
revenue.

brilliant husband was chief.
She was a brilliant, brainy woman
with q mind as keen as a razor's edge,
and IL her tastes had run in the direc-
uon Of politics-if she had been con-
sciOusly a politician-it is hard to say
what she might not have achieved in
the great game which is continually
playing here in social life at the capt.
tai.
But instead Of a liking for politics
she cherished an aversion to It. Every
step In advance which James g. Blaine
took, while 1t gratified her pride in
him, was a source Of regret to her in
that she saw herself constantly thrust
forward into q personal prominence
which was distasteful, and compelled
to combat the eVer-growing demand
that for political reasons she should
mingle with all sorts Of people in
whom she could not simulate an inter
est Combined with q seclusive tenn
per she had that most dangerous Of
accomplishments, q quick wit and 4
ready tongue. She resented and re-
sisted the curtailment Of individual
liberty which her husbands omcial
position was constantly threatening.
When Blaine was secretary Of state
she made many enemies for both by
refusing to return the innumerable
calls made upon her on public recep-
ton days. practice which, silly as
Il was, had grown to be regarded as an
omcial duty. She had to bear the
brunt Of the criticisms for the limo
vation which subsequently all cabinet
women were forced to follow In self
protection. She made q bitter life
long enemy Of the wife Of BENJAMIN
Harrison, who afterwards became mis-
tress of the white house by some cut
ting comment she gave utteranee to
when both Blaine and Harrison were
in the senate; md that difference led
70 the tragic candidacy Of Blaine for
the republican nomination in 1892 and
had much to do with the party cool
ness that resulted in HarrisOn's de-
feat.
She had her limited circle Of friends,
close and devoted, but she entirely
lacked the insincerity that would have
led those for whom she did not care
70 count her as their friend. Her last
years we're clouded with tragedy and
sorrow, and death came to her as q
relief.

Professor @. B. Davenport. Of the
University Of Chicago, told the other
day, says the Inter-Ocean, about the
delicate, beautiful little insects which
prove q pest to a great many people.
The sand fly Is known to scientists
familiarity as the May fly. In scientific
terms It Is called Ephemerida. This
name is taken from the Greek word
Ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sand
fly Is one Of the most interesting and
beautiful Of insects.
Inc ny lives but a day at most, but
before it sees light 1t has lived for
from one to three years under the
water in the form Of what the scien-
lists call a nymph. This nymph can
both walk and swim. AS it grows It
mOlts and after about the ninth mott
tiny wings appear on its thOrax. These
grow larger until the insect comes
forth from the water a sand fly. Il
then has but one duty, to lay its eggs.
This done the sand fly zigzags through
the air until its brief life Is ended.
The popular idea that the sand flies
are blown across the lake to Chicago
Is wrong, according to the university
scientists. The sand fly could not live
to be blown that far, and, besides, the
Insect always flies against the wind
and not with It.

OUR RAILROAD INDUSTRY.
American PayrOlIs and Their
Number Increasing.

The railroads Of this country are en-
ploying more persons than ever before
in their history. According to Stats
tics in the report Of the interstate com
merce commission there were 594 rail-
road employees for every hundred miles
Of tracks last year, and there were1 1884,
as employees altogether, reports the
New York Sun.
In the year before there were only
1,O71 ,169 railroad employees, and the aV-
erage was only 54S for every hundred
miles Of line, so that Independently Of
the increase in mileage the number Of
workers employed has increased As for
each hundred miles of line.
Since these statistics were collected
there has been a correspondingly large
increase in the number Of employees, II
railroad statistics are to be believed. 80
that the number Of men on the railroad
payroll IN this country is considerably
over a million and a quarter.
The good times and the extension i'm
provements set on foot by the railroad
companies as the result Of their pros
perity are responsible for this increase
In employment Eight years ago the
number Of railroad workers was only
Al for every hundred miles, so that
should a return to that standard be pos
sible It would mean the laying on OF
$4,000 workers, to say nothing Of the
consequent reduction IN the wage
standards.
