xkXEENEy, Agent;
. 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

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.
