FEEDING FARM HORSES.

A veterinary surgeon recommends that
those who have charge of horses, especially
farm horses, be taught that the stomach of
a horse is not like the rumen of a COW, a
mere receptacle for food, but an essential
organ of digestion of limited capacity,
which does not need to be crammed in
order to perform its proper functions, aud
that it cannot be so treated without dan
ger to the animal; that the teeth of the
horse are provided for the purpose of mas
ticating the food, and that food which does
not require mastication should besparingly,
if ever used. He further recommends that
no horse be put to work Immediately after
full meal, and where horse has done
full days work it should be allowed to
stand in the stable until it is cool and COM
Portable before being fed. A little water
may be given, and if a little good hay be
put into the rack it will occupy his atten-
tion, and besides requiring proper mastica-

RIO COLORADO.

That mighty stream flowing down
through Arizona and emptying itself into
the gulf. Though navigable more than six
hundred miles above its mouth, the en-
trance is marked by mud flats, bare at low
water springs, but which at high tide
have navIgable channels between them
and the main channel lying close along
the Sonora shore. There are 10 settle
ments near the mouth of the river, and
none of consequence north of Muleje on
one side of the gulf and Guaymas on the
other. The principal exports from above
are hemp (which grows wild in surprising
profusion, copper and argentiferous lead
ores. The river navigation is entirely
monopolized by what is known as the
Colorado Steam Navigation Company"
tAmericans, of course), with three fine
steamers and as many barges, of from 100
tons to 20 tons burden, drawing about
two feet of water when fully loaded. But
since the completion of the Southern
Pacific Railroad some years ago, which
crosses the Colorado river at Yuma, no
vessels, either foreign or Mexican, make
voyages to the mouth of the river. Mer-
chandise and army supplies for Arizona,
which formerly came around the peninsula
from San Francisco, were landed at the Gulf
end of the Colorado river and transported
thence in barges TO Yuma City, are now
brought direct to Yuma by rail while
that portion of the Consular district of So
nora bordering the gulf north of Quay
mas is supplied either at Guaymas or at
the inland port of Nogales, on the Arizona
frontier. FANNIE B. WARD.

Emil Charles Pfeiffer, of Cambridge, states
that a student of physiological psychology
named Martenfeldt is the culprit who is re-

Martenfedt had been making Researches in
some determinations of the sensitiveness Of
the tactile sense, ulder the direction of the
great Helmholtz, and found that the ability
to balance marble on II perfectly smooth
piece Of plate glass depended upon the deli
cacy of what Is known as the reaction time
that is, depends upon the quickness of the
nerve current in receiving the impression
that the marble will roll, sending the impress
sion to the controlling organs in the cerebel-
lum that contract or relax the muscles of the
arm and the degree of Responsiveness III the
nervous end organs of the fingers which hold
the piece of glass
Marteufeldt found that if he placed the
marble in the center of the plate and marked
four or five spots on the edge Of the plate and
then asked the subject with which he expert
mented to tip the plate that the marble
would run across a particular spot, a cunsld
cradle time elapsed before the subject could
determine how to tip the plate to make u
marble roll as required When Martenfeldt
complicated the apparatus and placed rings
of pasteboard about the center Of the plate
with holes for the marble to run through, the
average results of his experiments gave "A re-
markable Psychological law, which was that
the reaction time depended upon the size
Of the circles Of pasteboard, which made nm
