Twenty years after the clyil war 1 went south with a party to look over the battlegrounds of Cblckamauga and Missionary Ridge.,,, A young man ac companied, our party who told us that as a baby he bad been in a battle. When he bad grown old enough to be told anything about himself his sap posed father informed him that he (the father) had been a Union soldier In the battle of Missionary Ridge and during the fight bearing a cry In some bushes, bad gone there and found a baby. He took the little chap out of the fight and when ordered to march on the baby was adopted by the company and carried along. The finder afterward took him home and brought him up. He was now on bis way to visit the battlefield with a view- to 'learning something of his parentage. I remained for some time at Chat tanooga, and the young man, Rupyan, who was looking for his ancestors re mninecT with nie. I was engaged in certain 'work on , the battlefield of Cblckamauga. and Runyan was engag ed In his own search. There was an old negro in the hotel at which we Btayed who did odd Jobs, and I paid him to do things for me. He was a lugubrious old fellow, and I never but once saw a smile on his face. ' -.One day I asked him why he was so melancholy. ; "Dat are a story by its own self," was his reply, with a solemn shake of the bead. ,-. ("Well, uncle," 1 said to him, "you might as well tell me, for I'm so cu rious to know that I won't let you alone tilf you dd."" " (He hemmed and hawed awhile and Anally told the story: ' ' ' " "I.wor horned on a plantation on de redge, and my mars' wor one ob de best young men in de souf. I wor gib en rd him' by his fodder when be wor married. Dat wor not long befo de wah broke Out My young mars' be bad .a little plantation ob he own, and he wuk'it with no mo' 'n a dozen nig gahs. I wor a house servant and, bav in belonged to de fajnbly fo' so. long, bad charge of eberyflng. f "Den de wah come on, and mars' he go Jine de Confederate army. When he went away he say to me. 'Joe, I's gwine 'to leab my wife and my chile what isn't bawn yet in yo' car"bls voice trembled when he spoke ob de chile 'and I spect yo to gib up yo' own life befo yo' let any trouble hap pen 'em.'. . t"I tol him dat It don't make no dif ference wedder it no'the'n or soutbe'n pussoh, I kill him If he touch a ha'r of tnlssie's bead. . . : . . "While he wor away flgbtln' wo'd come to mls8le dat he got tooken sick. By dat time de baby wor bo'n and about a yea' old. , Missle say to me one day, says she: 'Joe, my husban' am herrv alck. and I got to go to him. Do yo fink yo' kln take car' ob de baby till I come backr I say, 'I sho' I kin. ; So missle told me an aooui ao baby'H food and what to do when dls happen and dat happen till I don't know wedder I wor on my head or my heels.

It has been slowly brought to our understanding that the world is not the same to all creatures, and probably no experiments bare tended more to make, this . clear . than those on the color sense of chickens, plgeoim, .owls and kestiwla : Hungry chickens and pigeons were first kept aa hour In a bright room for them to ' become . accustomed to: the light ' The floor was then spread with smooth black cloth, evenly covered with grains of wheat, a strong spec trum was thrown on it from the cell ing and the hungry animals were turn ed loose. They picked the wheat .first from thi . Irlel.it red. then the ultra red. next tin .vpilun' and finally the green. Thf.v foiu-hed iin'hlng In the blue and violet because they saw nothing: but. on the other band, tbey saw the grains in the ultra red that were Invisible to the men. ' 1 This proved that for chickens and pigeons the: spectrum Is shortened at the violet end of short wave length and extended at the red end of long wave length.' This Is the effect ono might expect from wenring orange col ored glasses and demonstrated that fowls see through such spectacles In the form of yellow and orange - ol) globules embedded In the light sensi tive layers . - ,.,,,, .' To kestrels and buzsarda the bright est tone was the green Instead of the red. the bine being visible. To owls the colors were as men see them.
