Birds have very acute vision per-
haps the most acute Of any creature
and the sense is almost more widely
diffused over the retina than is the case
with man; consequently a bird can see
objects sideways as well as in front of
it. A bird sees showing great uneasi-
ness in consequence hawk long be-
fore it is visible to man. So. too, fowls
and pigeons find minute scraps of food,
distinguishing them from what appear
to US exactly similar pieces of earth
or gravel. Young chickens are also
able to find their own food, knowing

During the Indian mutiny, says a
London journal, it was sometimes in
battle almost impossible to tell our
loyal native allies from, the revolted
enemy. At the relief of Lucknow Pri-
yate Howell was near a loyal native
regiment that had, through too great
impetuosity and misconception of or
ders, got to position where it was
mistaken for the enemy, and the whole
advance of the British army, amid the
smoke, poured into it an awful fire,
killing great numbers of men. At this
moment Howell, who saw that the men
exposed were paralyzed with aston
ishment and fear, rushed forward some
thirty yards in advance of their line
and, throwing up his left hand warn
ingly, waved his helmet at the point
of his musket with his right Hun
dreds of bullets from his own COM
rades whizzed past him, two Of them
cutting his right arm, but the daring
deed served his purpose, for the Brit
ish officers saw what was intended.
No sooner had the Cease fre!v sound
ed than the men, to be the moment aft.
er again in the throes of battle, sent
up magnificent cheer for Howell.

barely adjusted themselves when the
train was upon them. Haskins whis-
pered to his bride that it would soon
be over, and they would again be safe
But Haskins had reckoned without bis
host. for the train was freighter and
was moving with the rapidity of a
snail. Besides, it had to wait till the
passenger train ahead had moved
along. Car after car bumped slowly
over the ties. and Haskins held on till
his arms, with double weight upon
them, seemed starting from the sockets.
Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief,
for his trained ear acquainted him
with the fact that the last car was APP

the unique honor of being president of
the United States for one day. and that
was Sunday, March 4, 1S49. The term
of James K. Polk expired on the morn
ing of that day, but, as it was Sunday,
the president elect, General Zachary
Taylor. was not inaugurated until next
day, March 5. In consequence the pres

president on March 4. 1849. However,
he had presided at a night session of
the senate, which lasted until away
after midnight of Saturday. and he
slept nearly all day Sunday, without
realizing the fact that he was presi-

PRICE ONE GENT
LOST TORPEDO FOUND.
The Valuable Projectile Lost
On Saturday At Naval
Academy Re-
covered,

A torpedo was lost on Saturday
from the torpedo boat destroyer Hull,
on which the midshipmen were en-
gagged in one of their drills. The au-
thorities were somewhat exercised for
a time and employed divers in find
ing it. 1t was found with its nose
sticking six feet in the mud, whore il
had lodged.
There was no alarm on account
of any danger TO the shipping from an
explosion because the torpedo was not
charged with any explosive. IL had
what is called "A "soft nose. which
is always put ON these miSslesN when
used in practices. Ii is no small
matter to lose torpedo as their
value is about s., 600. After consid.
erable trouble the diver located the
lost projectile as was stated.
Great care is always taken Co pro-
vide against loss of n torpedo, but
despite all efforts sometimes one gets
away. Sometimes the accident occurs,
as in this case, when it is launched
too deep aud holds to the bottom.
At other times so little appears above
the surface that it is never sighted
The torpedoes are designed to be SO
exactly balanced as TO float just ON
the surface. In cases where II is not
sighted after il has been launched
from the tubes especially if il is not
perfectly light, the torpedoes are very
hard TO find and occasionally float
around for days.
