The Crack 8hot of the Mutiny.
During tlie siege of Lucknow,
in I he Indian mutiny, there was
afforded what is probably the most
notable instance of the record in
war of a crack shot.
The rebels were endeavoring Lo
mount two eightecn-pounders
which they had hauled up to the
flat roof of one of the palaces sur
rounding the Residency, and it
was necessary lo prevent this be
ing done or they would have been
able to pour down a heavy Are
on the defenders. Sergeant 11 al—
liwell was chosen for this duty.
He was a crack shot of the Thir
ty-second Foot.
Being given the best rifle that
could be found, his orders were
lo prevent the guns being mount
ed. Hie took up his posit ion be
hind some battered-down mason
ry behind which there was only
cover for him to lie at full length.
He remained in that position, it is
said, for several days, not being
able to stand, inasmuch as that
would have resulted in instant
death. His only change was to
roll over from his back to his
stomach. His eyes were ever kept
on I lie dismounted guns, and
whenever the Sepoys attempted to
mount them his unerring rifle
played havoc among them and
prevented their object luring ac
complished. Food was brought to
him at night by men who crawled
Ihis position. After some lime
a sortie was made and the Se
poy.s were defeated. For this
work Sergeant Halliwell received
the Vietoria Cross.

Costumes of 8eaweed.
The time is not far distant when
nur tailors will offer for sale suits
of seaweed. Seaweed is already
put to various uses. The man of
Labrador uses it for fertilizing,
for a form of food in times of
famine, and even for summer
clothes. The seaweed which is
now being considered for the man
ufacture of cloth, however, is of
a different kind and comes from
Australia. 1C has rather different
libers from seaweed properly so
called. II is taken from the bot
tom of (lie sea and doubtless has
been subjected f<»r possible ages
to certain chemical action in sub
merged depths, being in some sort
the refuse of geological forests
sunk below the sea before the sol
id land of continents was formed.
This material has been used ex
perimentally in English factories
as a substitute for manufactured
clolh, and although the goods do
not show up yet as especially
"line," it is hoped that some way
may be found to subject the ma
terial to bleaching and refining.
Nothing is yet known of its cher.«
ical possibilities except that it
lakes certain colors in dye. It is
expected I hat, under any circum
stances, it will make an economi
cal innovation in the dry gi.jds
line.
An Oak Mine.
Mint's of wood arc foijnd in Ihe
8«uth of Russia, where they were
discovered very recently when the
hed of a river was dragged. Not
very deep in the earth, but cov
ering an extent of 200 square kil
ometers, a forest of oaks was
found where it had been buried
by some unknown cataclysm cen
turies ago. The wood is in perfect
preservation. The man who found
the entombed forest has drawn
from his mine many trunks of
trees measuring from 40 to 60
meters high and at least IB inch
es in diameter. The mine iswbrfh
a fortune, for tho wood is of the
first quality, and as a result of its*
long rest underground it has tak
on Ihn most varied colors, rang
ing from dark brown to pale rose
and running through all Iho
shades of blue and yellow. One
hundred and fifty, thousand of th<v
ancient oaks have been turned ov
f»r to the cabinet-makers.
