Company H, Shoot.


For the last week the members OF
Co. H, have been engaged in target
practice on their specially pro sided
range about one mite east of Hart
ford. Formerly all shooting was
done during the annual encampmenI
and necessarily with more or less
rush and inconvenience, but this
range being located as it is at the
home station, gives the boys much
better opportunity to practice and
improve their craftsmanship.
Each man shoots over three ranges
200, 800 and 500 yards. Over each
range twelve shots are fired, the first
two trial shots, only the remaining
ten are counted in the final score.
The bulls eye" counts five, the
first ring four, second ring 8, and
anywhere on the remaining target
two.
The following list gives the name

made marksmen, a score of SO out

Mimicry in Fishes.

In lecture on fish Photography at
the Royal Photographic society's eXhi
bition, DR. Francis Ward said that the
power which certain fish possessed to
change their color in harmony with
Ltheir environment resided in their
eye. He placed a pike in such posi-
tion that its head was in dark cham.
ber while the rest of its body lay in
bright, sunshine. Although its resting
place was perfectly white the pike re-
mainea black in color. But when he
reversed its position and caused
its head to be in the sun
light its color changed to a
very much lighter hue within the
space of few minutes. 1t was evi-
dent that in fish, which possessed pro-
tective powers of this kind to a great
er extent than birds or any other
creatures, the light acted upon the op
tic nerve, thus causing the pigment
cells all over the skin to contract or
relax.-London Globe.
