Bold Bluff Saved Him.

The morning of Nov. 8, 1863, saw
Gen. Echols strongly intrenched on
the top of Droop Mountain, where the
day before he had joined Jackson's
force, bringing with him four regi-
ments. two battalions and a battery,
which, when Joined to Jackson's force
gave the Confederates an overwhelm-
ing advantage in numbers as well as
position.
General Averell, down in the valley,
commanded the Union troops, consist
ing of the Second, Third and Eighth
Virginia and the Fourteenth Pennsyl-
vania Cavalry. Col Schoonmaker's
regiment.
The Confederates had what they
considered an impregnable position;
but no position was too strong for
the daring of Averell's men. The
Fourteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry,
Battery B and an independent battal-
ion crept up and occupied position to
the left, while Battery was on the
extreme right. The Second, Third and
Eighth advanced in front The men
crept up the mountainside, through
briars, over rocks and treetops until
within about fifteen yards of the crest
of the mountain. when the Confeder-
ates opened fire, and a sheet of flame
showed where their musketry was
pouring at terrific leaden hail into our
lines.
Over the breast works the bluecoats
clambered, needless of the murderous
fire. Then it was every mans duty
to seek such shelter as could be found.
Capt. Billingsley of California, Pa;
Major Barclay of Hardwood and the
late Noah Messenger of Johnstown
had many hearty laugh afterward at
having all tried to find protection back
of one tree. Just at the time 1t wasn't
so funny. Piles of rails protected the
Confederate sharpshooters on the ex-
IRENE left Particularly harassing was
the fire from five mountain howitzers,
which came from the same direction.
William Steinaker, Orderly Sergeant
of Company d, Second Virginia, was

From Cavalry to Artillery.

"The Second Ohio cavalry" said the
Captain, was on the frontier in Sep
TENDER, 1862, when Gen. Blunt decid
ed he wanted battery. He detailed
thirteen men from each company Of
the Second cavalry and formed what
was afterward known as the Twenty
fifth Indepel dent Ohio battery. The
men, receiving guns and equipment,
went to active service at once. and the
adventures of the cavalrymen trans
formed into artillerymen came thick
and fast
For example, Private James A.
Russell, armed only with a revolver,
dropped out one day to look for water.
In going through corn field he was
halted by two rebel scouts. who, with
rifles at a ready, demanded his sur
render. Russell raised his revolver
and all fired at once The rebels
missed their mark, while Russell
blazed away until he had disabled
both his antagonists and received
their SURF onder. Then he procured a
conveyance and took his two prison.
ers into camp. M
In one of its long marches in the
Southwest the battery crossed the
Ozark mountains In midwinter and
was water-bound at the crossing OF
White river. The river was seventy
five feet wide, fifteen feet deep, and
the current was very rapid. There
was no boat large enough to carry
even one gun across and 1t was de
cided to make a raft or boat. The
wagon boxes were dashed together
covered with tarpaulins, and rails
were used for decking. When the raf
was completed and loaded, the prob
lem was how to get line across.
Several plans were suggested anC

the fact that 1t does not ignite easily

A MANLEss isLAND COLONY.
Greek Women Who Live an Entirely
Indepcnl sent Life.

On a small island N the Greek
archipelago there is a colony which
is composed entirely of women. 1t Is
sort of religious order, which con.
siders it disgrace for one of Its
members to even look at man. So
when a fisherman approaches the
island, the women pull the gray cowls
of their cassocks over their heads
and turn their backs. Provisions are
never imported. as the women raise
their own products, being strict vege
tarians. Only the matron. who is an.
nually elected head of the colony, is
ever allowed to leave the island. The
others remain on the island all their
lives, taking their turn at tilling the
soil. washing, housekeepir and fish

told of her achievements, OF her

THE PRODUCTION OF COLOR.

Mystery to Scientists.
In what way colors are produced is
mystery still. The varied hues of
the unrivaled American beauty are

But how no scientist can say. Why
it is that In the zenith we have, In
fine weather, deep, rich blue is per-
haps not generally known. There Is
always above us haze, however fine.
This haze is the aggregate OF the
finest combination of moisture on dust
particles. And water is blue; even
when distilled blue is its inherent col
or. Accordingly the deep blue color
In the upper heavens is caused by
the light through depth of fine haze.
IL there was no haze above us the
sky would be black-that is, we would
