4 MILE .LON5.

From an lroumaker's point of view the greatest achievement during the Revolutionary period was the making of the great West Point chain. This
 massive chain, which has probably never had an equal since the first ham, mer struck upon the first anvil, was stretched across the Hudson river ut West Point to prevent the British fleet from making second attack upon Kingston and Albany. It was nearly a mile in length and weighed almost POO tons, many single links being as heavy as an ordinary sized man. To- complete 1t in six weeks sixty men hammered day and night at seventeen forges, and the cost of 1t was placed at G400,Oo0. "The great chain is buoy cd up," writes pr. Tacher, "by very large logs, pointed at the ends to less on their opposition to the force of the current The logs are placed at short distances from each other, the chain carried over them and made fast to each by staples. There are also number of anchors dropped at proper distances, with cables made fast to the chain, to give 1t greater stability" No British ship passed this iron bar rier. With It's aid West Point became the strongest military post in America 80 strong that treachery was tried where force of arms had failed. When Benedict Arnold was plotting the sur. render of West Point he wrote ,Andre and said, "I have ordered that link be removed from the great chain and taken to the smith for repair" The chain, however. remained in place tilI the end of the war, and links of 1t are stIll to be seen in the museums of AL bany, West Point, Newburg and New York.-EXchange.

THE PENGUIN.

ComleslIy ssrio-s In Mating --- its
 Wicked FIippss.
 It Is probable that penguins pair for life, although nothing definite Is known on the subject When mates are cho- sen the process is as interesting as it is striking As is the case with so many creatures, the males fight with each other for the females, might being right in the penguin code The birds have regular fighting places, and one such battle-ground was found under m overhanging ledge, The results of innumerable encounters were present in the shape of great quantities of loose feathers surrounding the little lighting ring, which itself was clear of all debris. Although the 'beak of a pen. guin Is so formidable weapon when used on thin skinned enemies, yet their own skin and blubber are so resistant hat they can inhict no injury by this means. The customary mode of fight ing Is really a kind of boxing, or flip perlng," 1t might be called The two 'ombatants proceed to the fighting place and then walk cautiously about .ach other, jOckeying for an opening
 md ready to take instant adj antage of false step or move on the part of the opponent. All, however, Is solemn and ,ecorouS, consistent with the rest of
 he life of these strange little beings.
 When at last each secures a good rip on the neck or body of the oppo-
 .ent the real lighting begins. As nine
 enths of the life of penguins is spent ,n the open sea, where they pursue md capture fish, swimming with great 3wifmcss by strokes of the flpperllke wings, it can well be imagined that the strength Of their wings is very great, and when the two fighters begin to beiabOr each other with rapidly vl- braung hipper strokes each resoundIng whack must make a considerable i'm pressIon even on the protecting coat of blubber fat No one has ever recorded the finish of such an encounter, but t is not probable that they result fatally. The weaker of the two must soon sue rumb under such severe punishment and yield the field and the fair penguin mate to his stronger rival. The strength of the wing strokes can be tested by allowing penguin to take hold of ones cont sleeves or. hotter,
