Miles. It was my good fortune to witness the transformation of the mighty West. I have viewed much of it on horseback and have traversed the zones now occupied by the Canadian, the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Rio Grande and Oregon Short Line, the Union and Central Pacific, the Santa Fe route and the Southern Pacific. I have seen the pioneer and the home builder supplant the savage and the lawless. In my recent journeys across the continent I was more than ever impressed with the underlying wis- addition.

From behind these corn barricades they beat Pillow's men off until the Fourtn Kentucky Infantry, well mounted, sent Pillow's men scurrying away in what their disgusted general called a pan'e.

He had just passed his 12th birthday anniversary and had laid aside his drum for a musket, the barrel of which had been cut down for his use; and after acting as a "marker" for a time he took his place In the ranks. As the day closed, and the army retired to Chattanooga, his brigade was ordered by the enemy to surrender, and "Little Johnny" was himself covered by the sword of a Confederate colonel.

Innumerable aches and pains, formications, tingling and numb sensations are caused by imperfect gastric digestion. The theory that the stomach is only a receptacle for the gesta, and is not strictly speaking, a digestive organ, has not been sustained by clinical and laboratory experience; while clinical experience testifies and laboratory experiments and observation demonstrate that many digestive disturbances originate to the stomach and produce symptoms which frequently have been attributed to rangements of the nervous system.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE his release he was promoted to orderly sergeant by Gen. Thomas.

He was discharged from the service in September, 1864, when he returned to his old home and attended school, being graduated from the Newark High School in 1870. President Grant, who had kept watch of "Little Johnny" after the war ended, appointed him a second lieutenant in the regular army in 1871. Three years later he went to the artillery school at Fortress Monroe for a course of instruction In military science, and a year later passed a most successful examination. Incident of tie Civil War. In the summer of 1863, near Marietta, at a place called Noonday Creek, the writer, a Yankee soldier, was placed as a picket on one side of the creek, and on the other edde, distant about 100 yards, a Johnnie was doing similar duty.

It was a common occurrence for the outposts of the contending armies to engage In conversation, but either side usually kept themselves In a position that the other party could not take advantage of them, although In the afternoon of each day there was liable to be skirmishing along some part of the opposing lines and sometimes the action became gen- i iral, says tbe Atlanta Constitution.

It is known that the effects of a pressure of more than three atmospheres prove fatal to human life; and, although'we may believe that shales can stand treble this or nine atmospheres, which would occur at about ninety yards' depth, Is it conceivable that they could resist the effect of ten times the latter pressure, or ninety atmospheres? Moreover, does it seem possible that a whale, whose body is only slightly heavier than water at ordinary pressure, could exert the muscular force necessary to propel that body to a depth of a yards?
