in and out under the hem of her skirt,
timidly and gently, like two mice. If

Burrowing Under the Parapet.S
Finding 1t impossible to check the
steady and ceaseless advance of the
foe above ground. the Louisianians
who occupied Fort Hill began to coun
termine with the hope of blowing up
the Federal trench diggers. This work
was slower than the trench digging of
the Federals. for the counterminers
had to sink a vertical SHIFT to a great
depth and then tunnel forward under
heath the enemy.
The next step of the Federals after
reaching the outer ditch Of Fort Hill
with their trench was to burrow down
under the parapet and lay the powder

mine. The Confederate counterminers
were already at work under the fort,
but the opposing gangs Of laborers die
not detect the presence Of each other.
The deep mining of the Federals was
done by experts, and at the end of
three days they had eighty feet of gal
lery completed under the parapet and
filed with 1900 pounds Of powder.
Although fully appraised Of the dan
ger, the Confederates were unable to
stop the enemy's work. Their big
guns bearing on the ground In front
had been silenced, and they could not
sally out to attack the Federals with
out coming under the awful fire Of
musketry and artillery poured upon
them day and night. A feeble attempt
to impede the miners was made by
throwing hand grenades and shells
over the parapet into the trench and
mouth Of the shaft In order to save

work to lay new galleries OF powder
under the parts of the fort that still
defed them.
On the day of the Fort Hill affair
the Confederates exploded two of their
countermines, engulfng the rollers Of
the Federals at work over the mine
and filing in their trenches. A day or
two later the Confederates rolled a
barrel Of powder containing a slow
fuse down upon a timber screen used
by the besiegers to owe the work of
digging. The charge Of 125. pounds ex-
pioded on the mark and sent the tim
bers and other material high In the air.
A new screen was built in the night,
and the miners toiled on, finishing their
work and opening a crater by another
explosion. Grants success at mining
convinced the commander of. the de
lenses, General J.. @. Pemberton. that
vicksburg could not be held.

forward the trench had some prdtec-

and filed with bullet proof material.
These rollers were like movable para
pets, ever getting nearer and nearer

In the doomed work all but a mere
handful were drawn back to a second
line of works built In rear of the fort.
The Federal commander of the siege,
General q. S. Grant, fixed the hour for
the explosion at 8 o'clock p. N. and
marshaled long columns of infantry be
hind the works nearest the scene ready
for advance the moment the breach
was sprung. The general with his

The Mine Explodes.

Suddenly the earth trembled, and the
crown of the fort, with the outworks
adjoining, seemed gently lifted from
the foundation. Great assures appear
ed In the rising mass, which gradually
settled back, with the exception of the
very center, where a column OF fine
earth, mingled with smoke and fire
and solid objects, great and small, rose
high In the afr. AS suddenly a they
had ceased the firing the cannon and
muskets opened with renewed fury.
Intense excitement followed the explo-
sion, Grants waiting columns being
no less surprised than their foe.
But there were a hundred bluecoats
close to the crater who were not sur
prised. They comprised volunteers
from the Twenty-third Indiana and
Forty-ffth Illinois, who, trained In
their part, dashed into the smoking
crater. Not a hand was raised to pre-
vent the stormers from entering the
breach, but the instant they scaled the
debris which barricaded their advance
beyond toward the heart of the citadel
they met a storm of bullets and shells
from the C~onfederates In the real of
the fort. The moment a hand or head
was exposed above the crest 1t was
riddled with balls. Finally two lines
were formed on the slope Of the debris.
and while the rear line loaded mus
kets the men in front fred at random
over the crest.
But the Confederates soon recovered
from their surprise and were masters
Of the situation. They climbed the
other side of the slope and tossed
lighted shells and hand grenades into
the ranks OF the stormers.
Both Sides Hurl Hand Grenades.
The muskets of the Federals firing
over the crest became too hot to hold
and they were exchanged for fresh
ones. Shells and hand grenades were
brought up to give the enemy Is
good as he sent.
Desperate as was the situation for
the Federals fighting from the debris.
they succeeded at last in checking the
enemy's fire. Elevating the heels Of
their m~uskets, they fired bullets down
the other slope upon the Confederates.
and these, with the hand grenades and
shells tossed over, proved too much
for the Lo~uisianians. Meanwhile the
Federal engineers hauled some heavy
timber out Of the debris and built a
casemate at the base Of the slope.
which was proof against the enemy's
fire. At the same time a parapet was
thrown up back of the casemate where
the Federals who had dashed into the
crater found shelter from the grenades
and shells.
But the valor of the stormers was
wasted. The crater was too narrow
for more than a few men, and these
few could not hold 1t against the big
odds. During the night the troops
were withdrawn, and the miners set to

Ing. Duck river was the last stand be-
tween Nashville and Chattanooga on
the Georgia border.
Chattanooga had always been the ul-
innate objective of all the Federal cam
paigns of the armies of the Ohio and
the Cumberland. Under the name of
the Army of the Cumberland the force
which had beaten Bragg at Murfrees-
boro iochec southwark 10 ChaStannoga
as its goal. The commander Of this
army, General w. s. Rosecrans, be-
lieved that Federal occupation of Chat
tanooga was equal in Importance to
Federal occupation OF Vicksburg. Hav-
Ing learned from spies the nature of
the Notifications held by Bragg at Tul-
lahoma, south of the Duck, and at
Shelbyville, eighteen miles down
stream, Rosecrans determined to force
those points simultaneously. This
would throw the enemy into open field,
where be might be successfully at
tackled. atlE
On to Tullahoma.
A cavalry division under General d.
g. Stanley made a feint upon the works
at Shelbyville held by General w. j.
Hardee's Confederate corps. Hardee
supposed that his position was to re-
ceive the brunt Of any Federal attack.
He stood fast while the real move

right flank.
by a cavalry dash of General ]. G.
Wilder's brigade through the gaps of
the hills north of the Duck river. VIII
der captured the bridge over the Duck,
making a pathway for the infantry.
Bragg in alarm called Hardee to the
help of Polk. This move left Shelby
vile so lightly defended that one bri-
gade Of cavalry chased the Confeder-
ates out OF the town..
Rosecrans' infantry corps followed
close upon the cavalry, and In three
days the whole region north of the
Duck was swept of Confederates
Bragg concentrated all his strength at
Tullahoma. where Rosecrans confront
ed him at the close Of the week. Days
Of incessant rain had made the ground
impossible for attacking columns, a
circumstance which saved Bragg for
the time being.
Military Mine at Vicksburg.
Fifty years ago June % was a day of
desperate fighting in front of vicks-
burg. The Federals exploded a mine
under Fort Hill, a Confederate work
on the Jackson road in front Of Gen
eral John A. Logan's division.
The construction of the Fort Hill
mine involved an advance of over
1000 feet In the enemy's line, some of
the distance being exposed to nno
fire and the bullets Of vigilant sharp
shooters. The advance was made step
by step. Working at night, the sappers
opened a trench for a distance deep
enough to shield themselves by day
light. During the day they widened
and deepened the trench and at night
passed on another stretch.
After proceeding 400 feet the sapperS
excavated a large square and with the
earth removed constructed cover for
two naval guns, which helped to pro-
tect them In working beyond that
point These guns finally silenced the
Confederate cannon at Fort Hill, but
not 30 much as a hand could be shown
above the Federal parapet without be-
ing punctured by rifle bullets. During

The costly part of taking NOV
ing pictures In a homemade
camera is the film and the diff
cult part Of getting good pictures
is the developing and printing. 1T
is not necessary for you to hav,
expensive apparatus or for you tc
spend much money, after you
have bought the film. There are
two kinds of film|negative and
positive. The former must be
used for making your negatives
and the latter for your positives
or prints. They each cost about
4 cents per foot.
The developing and printing Is
done on the same principal as
the developing of any other film
and the printing of lantern slides.
We will say that the film you've
made in your home camera Is 100
feet long. This will require a
tray at least Is. by % inches. In
this tray you must set a cross arm
of wood having upright pins of a
good, stout kind, placed 3-8 inches
apart SO that the film can be
placed on them in a continuous
spiral like that shown in Fig. /.
There is another way, which re-
quires an apparatus a little more
trouble to make. This Is shown
in Fig. 2 and consists of two
reels by means of which the film
is wound back and forth through
the developer as shown. The first
way described is the easiest and
least expensive, and by far the
most convenient. The developer
to be used is the same as for any
other form of photography. 1t
should be watched more care
fully, however, as the images are
smaller and the chances OF over
or under-developing are greater.
One OF the difficult things
about the preparing OF a film is
the drying. This Is done ON q
reel like that is shown in Fig 8.
An old bolster frame will do fine
ly for this.
The printing IS done in a light
