bandage. DIR. John F. Hammond of
South Carolina discovered the nature
of my second wound. DR.. Gideon S.
Palmer of Maine, my own brigade sur
geon, who had come out with my regi-
ment, the Third Maine, superintendent
the whole operation of the amputation.
He caused me to wait from about II
in the morning until $50 in the even
ing for this work, because he said it
was necessary for a reaction to set in.
Several men have said that they
carried me off the field. This is also a
mistake, for l walked off the field from
very near the Seven Pines crossroads
to DIR. Grants field hospital on the hill,
near the Fair Oaks station. 1t was
somebody else that was carried on a
stretcher. 1t might have been my
brother, who afterward became by
brevet General G. II. Howard, for he
was shot through the thigh and had
difficulty in walking a step.
1--WE took the first train from that
station to the White House and went
thence by boat to Fort Monroe, and
from that place to Baltimore by steam
er, and after a rough transfer of my
brother and myself in hack from the
steamer to the railroad depot we were
taken to New York by the cars and
stayed over night at the Aston House.
Here Mrs. Stetson, the wife of the pro-
prietor, supervised our needs and gave
us every courtesy and kindness until
we set out the next day after our ar
rival for Maine"

Hent Radiation.

The tendency of heat to diffuse itself
is effected by radiation, conduction and
convection Nearly all dull and dark
substances are good radiators, while
bright polished surfaces radiate badly.
Some substances conduct heat more
freely than others, silver among the
metals being the best conductor, and
as a unit of measurement is taken at
1000. Compared with silver as con-
ductor, gold is 981, copper S45, zinc
GAL, tin 422, steel 397 and wrought iron
43G. Glass, wood, gases, liquids and
resinous substances are bad conduct
ors, Water is such poor conductor
that if heat is applied to the top 1t will
boil at the top, while the bottom will
remain cold. = Newcastle (Englandl

SUPPORTING A BATTERY
Thrilling story of an Artillery Duel
and Its Sequel.

Thrilling story of an Artillery Duel
and Its Sequel.
II shall never forget the first time
was under fire. said Colonel Thomas
Crenshaw to a party of veterans who
were fighting their battles DER again.
1--WE were supporting a battery and
had lain down on stretch of ground
as level as ballroom floor. The Con-
feds were beyond rifle shot, but they
opened on us with artillery, and they
did everlastingly pillow up the ground
with shot and shell. Every old soldier
knows that artillery fire at long range
is not half so much to be dreaded as
the rattle of musketry, which sounds
on the battlefield like Chinese fire
crackers in a thunderstorm, but it is
a good deal more 'skeery' to a novice.
There we lay for half an hour, never
moving a finger, watching the puffs of
flame from dozen cannon and the
shells coming tearing through the air
with their fiendish shrek, apparently
headed directly for our faces. | tell
you a position of that kind tries the
very soul of your raw recruit. Give
him a chance to shoot back, and he is
all right but fighting is one thing and
waiting to get killed without striking
blow is quite another.
but there was more ahead for us.
After the artillery duel had ragged for
some time a regiment of Confederate
cavalry debouched from the wood with
all the deliberation and precision of a
dress parade. They were Mississippi
ans, tall, athletic fellows, who sat
their horses like centaurs. They halted
and dressed ranks while the batteries
behind them hurled a perfect rain of
shells over their heads. We could see
their colonel riding down the line and
pointing with his sword to our battery,
which was plunging shells in among
them with frightful rapidly, but little
effect. They advanced step or two
every horseman seeming to choose his
ground. Here they come, slowly, stead
lily, like a great gray wave, conscious
of irresistible power. The bugle rings
out sharp and shrill they break into a
quick trot, 500 sabers leap into the ali
and the stars and bars stream out on
the smoky background like a porten'
tous meteor. On they come; 800 yards
700, 600! Gads, has our battery gone
silent? Five hundred, 400! Charge
Every spur sinks deep, the rebel yell
rises from every throat, and the col
umn leaps forward like thunderbolt
into the face of which crashes the
canister from our four Founders
Great ragged holes are torn through
the four deep column, but they close
instantly, and it comes on unchecked.
Now it is our turn! We are in from
of the battery, in the pathway of the
avalanche. We pour volley into i
at eighty yards! A hundred brave mer
reel out of their saddles, hundred
horses go plunging to their knees! The
line waivers! Another volley and an
other! The line breaks and suddenly
retreats, while we swing our caps ant

toned in war chronicles. 1t fought a

the regiment served as mounted infan-
