An American Mnferlnn.

Wellington at Waterloo and Meade
at Gettysburg each held the highlands
against his antagonist. Wellington on
Mont Saint Jean and Meade on Gene
terry Ridge had the birdseye view of
the forces of attack. The English bat
teries on the plateau and Ese Union
batteries on Cemetery Heights COM
manded alike the intervening undula-
tions across which the charging col
umns must advance. Behind Mont
Saint Jean. to conceal Wellington's
movements from Napoleons eyes, We're
the woodlands of Soignes. Behind
Cemetery Ridge, to conceal Meades
movements from the field glasses of
Lee, was a sharp decllvity, n protecting
and helpful depression. AS the French
under Napoleon at Waterloo. so the
Confederates under Lee at Gettysburg
held the weaker position. In both cases
the assallants sought to eXpel their op-
ponents from the stronger lines.
might add another resemblance in the
results which followed. Waterloo de-
creed the destiny of France. of Eng
land, of Europe. Gettysburg, not so di-
rectly or Immediately, but practically,
decided the fate of the Confederacy.-

A PiscntorinI Gunner.

The jaculator fish. the piscatorial
gunner of the Javan lakes. uses his
mouth as a squirt gun and Is marks
man of no mean ability. Go to a small
lake or pond filed with specimens of
jaculators, place Il stake or pole In the
wafer with the end projecting from one
to three feet above the surface, place
beetle or fly on top OF the pole and
await developments. Soon the water
will be swarming with finny gunners,
each anxious for n shot at the tender
morsel which the eXperimenter has
placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface. steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable. discharges
a stream of water with precision equal
to any sharpshooter, knocks the fly or
beetle into the water, where he Is in
stnntly devoured by the successful
Nimrod or some of his hungry horde.
This sport may be kept up as long as
the supply of beetles and flies holds

weirht of n Growing Child.

The weight of growing child Is the
most important index to its general
health. The standard of weight for
growing children, that usually given
by authorities In the matter. is that at
FIVE years of age n child should weigh
about as many pounds as it is inches
high. AS rule. this will not be much
over or under forty pounds. Children
who come of large parents should
weigh something more than that. The
rate of increase should be about two
pounds for every inch of growth, with
a tendency FOR the weight to exceed
this standard proportionately rather
than TO fall below IT, When n child Is
rather heavier in proportion TO its
height than this standard it Is a sign
of good health. If the child is growing
rapidly it should not be allowed to fall
much below II without being made to
rest more tEan has been the custom be-
fore. \ deficiency of weight in proper
ton to height Is always an unfavorablc
sign. Any interruption in the progress
OF increase of weight especially dur
ing the continuance of growth. must
be n danger signal that should not be
neglected by those interested in the pa
tient.
