BALLOONS as an adjunct Of warfare are

attracting much attention in European
militar, circles, and their possible value in
times OF peace is not entirely overlooked.
An English writer remarks that the recent
successful attempts at balloon steerage in
France have led many tho lghtful persons
to believe the day not to be far. distant
when we shall see balloons plying in we'll
paying passenger traffic between England
and the Continent. Another writer adds
that such a result would be no more
wonderful in its way than the discovery
and dev, lopment OF the telephone, which,
though scarcely a decade old, is already so
familiar to us that it no longer seems

IT is sa d that in Philadelphia there have
been sixty deaths from hydrophobia within
the past twenty-five years. As compared
with other canses OF death this death rate
is insignificant. This raises the question
why there should be so much interest in a
disease so rare, and one whose very exist
ence some eminent physicians still deny.
The mystery which surrounds the disease,
the peculiar symptoms and horrible suffer-
lngs OF the patient undoubtedly account for
some OF this interest The rarity OF the
cases makes them all the moretalked about

not an axact means OF determining the age Of
horned cattle Quite often the second ring does
not appear until the animal is five years old.
Thereafter the rings are constant As rule,
the rings are annual after the animal is three
years DID, and hence the determination of age is
more certain by the horn than by the teeth since
close or gritty pastures often wear the teeth far
more tLan flush pastures, or in the case of cat
tie fed food requiring little exertion in gath
eriBg.
Up to the time when the animal arrives at full
maturity the teeth are sure index of age, what
ever the pasture. That is to say, at the age of
two weeks the calf will have four front teeth on
the under jaw, two only being out at birth. At
three weeks it will have six teeth. and at
month old the incisor teeth will be complete
that is, eight At eight months the incisors
will begin to wear, and the two central teeth
will be shrunk. This process will gradually pro
coed, successfully, unit. at the age of eighteen
months the two central incisors will have dropped
out, to be succeeded by the two central perma-
nent incisors. At TWO years old past there will
be four central permanent incisors, at three
years six and at four years eight incisors the
full number, will be shown From this on the
ineisors gradually shrink apart again. so that at
the age of ten years the relative appearance of
the incisors will be analogous to that of the calf
of twelve months of age. This appearance will
be measurably constant, but, as stated before,
the actual wear of the cutting surfaces will be
governed by the nature of the pasturage and
other food.
