How Far Can a Soldier See?

The German army has conducted
some interesting experiments with a
view to finding out how far on 1t Is
possible for one soldier to recognize
another.
Soldiers with good eyesight can dis
tinguish a person seen once before
when so feet distant, an acquaintance
800 feet distant and an intimate friend
or relative 500 feet distant.
An expert riieman can distinguish
any decided movement on the part of
a mans body when the nan is 300 feet
away from him.
At 1900 feet a man appears as q
spot on the landscape and. unless he
moves or his dress contrasts with the
background, cannot then be distin-
guished.
Sailors. hunters and farmers, how
v can usually see twice as far as
other people. owing to their training In
distinguishing distant objects.

General Joffe is In the pubic y
again-this time as lie chef d etat ma
jor. In plain words. chief OF stan or
generalissimo Of the armies OF France
We saw him in the public eye before
and under circumstances worth re-
lating.
One fine day-the anniversary or the
fall Of the Bastile-we were "gawkins
about the Avenue des Champs Elysees'
In Paris. seeing what we could see
with 10000 or $4,000 other persons. At
the intersection Of the Champs Ely
sees with the Avenue Montague a
mighty shout arose.
'yive la Fallieres!' came from 40
600 or $4,000 threats.
1t was the president Of France sur
rounded by a cavalry regiment In gor-
geous trappings.
We did not know where they were
going, but we followed them down the
avenue, under the Arc de Triomph
and through the Bots de Boulogne un-
til we came to q rae course or parade
ground of some sort, probably at Long
champs.
About 200, 900 persons were there, In
Guiding $4,000 soldiers waiting to be
reviewed by NJ. lie Presidente.
In course of time a 'rotund gentle
man on horseback rode to the front
of the grand stand.
"vlve la Joffre! vive Tarmee!' rose
from 100000 tongues.
The general was plainly affected and
touched his cap most CALAMITY In rec

EATING OF HoRsEFLEsH

A balloon letter from Paris dated
Dec. 81, 1870, written by the daughter
of Pasteur Armand Delille, a Protes-
tan. minister, tells of some of the dep
rivations suffered by the Parisians
during the long continued siege Of their
city. The letter says:
Il cannot let Christmas day pass
without sending you a line containing
a thousand wishes for your happiness
during the coming year and good news
Of your poor besieged cousins. We are
all very well and o me bit discour-
aged at the length of the siege.
"Of course. we are deprived Of many
comforts, but we do not suffer, and as.
we are quite ready to suffer for our
France you can imagine that we have
nothing to complain Of so far.

but. of course, nave little variety in the
way Of food. How would you order
your dinner IL you had no mutton, no
veal, no fresh beef, no potatoes, no
butter, 10 eggs. no fowl. no fish and as
many other things? Chickens are
dreadfully scarce, and Il small one
costs 25 or 81 shillings. Eggs are
scarcer still and cost at least 10 pence
apiece.
Fortunately we nave plenty OF horses
left. and now We are so accustomed to
horse that l can scarcely tell the differ
ence between 1t and beef. We have
rice, macaroni, preserves, a little salad
and now and then u little salt beef.

1870 a great deal has been invented In
the way Of tabloid foods. Hundreds Of
thousands of animals on the hoof can
be put into one large warehouse in tab
loid form.
1t was also said that the French
would turn thousands OF acres inside
the two outer lines Of Notifications,
but outside the city walls, into inten-
sive farms, where vegetable foodstuff
would be grown under glass. The
French are the most expert In the
world at farming under glass. growing
crop after crop, winter and summer,
on the same highly fortified soil.
At the beginning of the war there
was for a few days a rise In prices
Of food in Paris. This the government
promptly and effectively checked, pun
ishing the offenders Immediately. Lat
err official bulletins were issued, and
no one is allowed to ask more than
those explained to be the days rates.
From time to time these might be rails
ed or lowered, it was said, but 1t was
a precaution which helped the house
keepers tremendously. and they were
requested to make known any in
fringement of it to the proper officials.
EXODUS OF PARIsIANs
Fear Of a siege, however, created
visible u~neasiness, and the exodus
from the city assumed considerable
proportions. Lines of people waited
at the railway stations. There was
no panic, but the general belief that
the enemy would soon be at the gates
quickened the efforts Of those who in
tended to leave the capital.
The authorities announced that Paris
was better prepared to stand a siege
than 1t was in 1870.
There were large stocks Of -four, cat
tie, general provisions and coal actual
ly within the city gates, and large
stores continued to arrive every day.
The water supply was considered well
protected against any attempts of the
Germans to cut 1t of.
The decree issued by the military
governor, ordering all residents or the
district within action of the city's de-
Tending forts TO evacuate and destroy
their houses within four days. was a
formal notice to inhabitants of the
military zone. Army engineers made
a tour of the envirOns of the forts and
explained that tenants might be cahed
on to destroy their property which was
deemed an obstruction.
Many houses In the line OF fire were
occupied by poor people whose sons
were mt the front. A large number or

only to be driven back more confused

an exceedingly sad Christmas, that Of
1870, In the usually gay Paris. 1t was

the siege. The thermometer was be-
low zero. Soldiers who had been
wounded were frozen to death, and
starvation was threatening the poor.
Animals Of all kinds were killed and
sold at extravagant prices, eve the
Paris geological garden being depleted
for food.
The Germans were gradually advanc-
ing nearer to the city, which they
bombarded mostly at night at first,
but finally became more bold, keeping
it up almost constantly, breaking up
thousands of happy homes and destroy
ing much property. The sorties of the
various French generals had become
ineffective. Two days after Bourbaki's
repulse at Montbeliard the last unsuc-
cessful sortie was made from Paris.
There now remained provisions only
for another fortnight. About 10000 of
