FEATS OF MARKSMANSHIP.1 Wcndrful 8hooting of Captain Be gardus and Dr. Carver. Old gentlemen of the period just aft er the war. will tell you sadiy that there are no such shots as there used to be. In this connection it Is inter- j eoLiuy u note mat si,uuu was wage rea against $100 that the champion of th world could not hit a hundred consec utive birds. Many amateurs, not to speak r of professionals, frequently make such a score without arousing comment in these days... Captain Bo gardus was to be allowed three trials. If he lost the, first two and made the third tbe money was bis, and, by tbe way, he used a twelve gauge, full choke, ten pound gun, and his load was five drams of black powder with No. 9 shot. He loaded his own shells or had them loaded according to bis directions. - . While shooting In England his load was challenged by one of Mb defeated rivals, who asserted that the cham pion's phenomenal scores were the re sult of bis superior shells. The cap tain suggested tunt In their next match both contestants should use his am munition, to whkh the Englishman eagerly consented. The captain was detiphted. for well he knew what would huppeu to the action of, the light and dellcute Ecfiixh juu under such n charpe.

The wonder Is that there re mained of his shoulder anything more than pulp.. True, It is on record that after the three-thousandth shot at such an exhibition In Gllmore's Garden? New York city, the contestant had to pry open his trigger lingers by mam force and only succeeded In continuing In tbe match by frequent Immersions of arm and shoulder in hot waterOut lng. ' ,' DINING ON SEA URCHIN. Queer Way In Which the Glutton f Starfish Devours Its Prey. Fights to the death are common be tween sea arehins and starfish. Tbe starfish when ready for battle rataes one of his arms toward tbe sea urchin. TbjMpvWs shoots out aH bis brintlLng spuWf, or needles, aai In addition to his arwaya visible arms, brings oat an arm that la never seen safes H is needed for aetlve une.

Finding his chief weapon gone, tbe urchin drove allhis needles tato the back of the starfish, not ail together but one after another, wltb all the method of ralca laud uctiou. As the needles eutered the back of the starfish the starfish broke, thepi, one by one. The urchin, rendered powerless by the loss of his needles, made a few mechanical move ments In self defense and then lay mo tionleKs and powerless on the water. After a few minutes' hesitation and a close scrutiny of his subject, the star fish approached the urchin . and pre pared .to. .devour him. But as tbe urchin was six, times larger than bis mouth be turned out his stomach in the manner noted by naturalists as a common maneuver of certain animals and, having rejected his stomach lin ing, Inserted the urchin's carcass, spines and all.
