wonderful skill in judging distances.
The tongue WAS v darted out until
the insect rlnlr within Il certain range.
Tho accuracy of the creatures aim
was smother mat,cr for surprise. The
insects were generally in motion when
the tongue WIS d#rted out against
them, but the irTnw eve failed to-
hit. TIL" lapihity With which the
tongue WAS shot forth excited mucl,
wonder. Tho operation is a complex
one. Tho tongue is doubled Or folded
up when in the mouth. Therefore Il
twofOld action is required, an unco1l-
ing Of the weapon and then the dart
ing of it forth. The withdrawing of
the tongue with the captured insect on

In the class of lS3- at West Point

north. the other from the south. who
became great chums. Donald Dargan
was the southerner, Edwin. Chandler
the northerner. 1t is seldom that two
| young men, each possessing such stir
ling qualities. are to be found bound
together by the ties Of friendship.
Without being aware of the fact, they
both were claimants for the hand of
the same girl. She decided in favor
Of the southerner. When Chandler
congratulated Dargan on his having
obtained the prize the latter did not
know that he had won it from his
friend.
Having been graduated. Dargan in
the cavalry and Chandler in the artil-

stations till the civil val came on.

army officers from the south during
the war-those who went over to the

to fight under the stars and stripes.

thought and great anguish. Ranging

were his two brothers, his relatives
and the friends Of his youth. To
espouse the northern cause would rem

He reached his decision without a

One of the Federal armies in the field
was in a critical position. A council
Of val was convened. and the general
commanding called for the opinions of
those present. One OF the generals
rose and said:
