Our warrior no longer wears mail and carries the cumbrous shield, 
spear, and battle ax, but we arm him with the Krag-Jorgensen and he 
strikes his blow from as far away as he can see his man. 
Who will set the limits to our advance? As our knowledge becomes 
more exact, the application of our analysis will widen till it embraces 
man and nature in all their essence and relations. 
WooLLEN’s GARDEN OF Birps AND Botany. By W..W. Woo.L.en. 
Woollen’s Garden of Birds and Botany is situated due northeast from 
the city of Indianapolis, on the south bank of Fall Creek, and is nine 
’ 
miles from the Indiana Soldiers’ Monument, the center of the city, and 
four and a half miles from its corporate limit. It consists of forty-foul 
acres of land, being four acres larger than Shaw’s Garden, near the city 
of St. Louis. About twenty-nine acres of the garden is woodland, and the 
remaining fifteen acres are in cultivation. 
It has a river front of one-third of a mile, and this is covered with 
timber and vines. The cultivated portion, most of which is rich botton: 
land, lies between the river front and the woodland. This is divided by 
strips of timber into three irregular parts and susceptible of being made: 
very useful and attractive. In it, with little expense, two lagoons can 
easily be made for the growing of water plants. The river front can be 
admirably adapted to the same use. 
The timber land consists of three hills, extending from the south to 
the-north, the projections of which gracefully slope to the cultivated land, 
forming two perfect amphitheaters overlooking the cultivated land. These 
amphitheaters are exceedingly beautiful, the line of timber on them 
coming down to the very edge of the cultivated land and encircling it on 
the north with curved lines as true as could be drawn by a landscape 
gardener. 
The hills are from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five feet 
high, and divided by spring rivulets, which have rocky bottoms and beau- 
tiful meanderings. On one of these hills, in the very depths of the forest. 
is an immense bowlder, and on another a very considerable mound, which 
tradition says is the grave of an Indian chief. None of the hillsides are 
precipitous, and because of this, every inch of their surface is adapted to
