New York Herald

The present winter in America. though
colder than that of $500. has so far been
singularly mild as compared with the sea-
son in Europe. On the Atlantic seaboard
January was about three or four degrees
warmer than usual, while reports from The
West and Northwest indicate that its tenn
perature was not severe. In New York city
the mercury averages in January a0.6 de-
srees Fahrenheit, but this year the local sig
nal Office reports that the mean was 30 de-
grees.
With the Northwest barely covered hy
SNOW, mild weather in The East is not TO DE
wondered at. Ii is not unlikely that in
some sections the lowest temperatures az
the wear will occur this month. with brief
cold spells. Bat IL is altogether improbable
that the current winter will make remark
able record TO severity.

Horseshoes Made of Paper.
lChlcagO News.

Ii seems not unlikely that change is
imminent In the method Of shoeing horses
for military work. The German papers are
deyoiing great deal OF attention TO the
discussion which Is now going IN in the
military world as 10 the adyisabiliiy Of sub
stitnting compressed paper for iron in
horseshose Tor the German cavalry and ar
tilery. Alter many experiments under all
manner Of conditions it has been found that
the shoe which appears 20 be most worthy
of adoption is made up OF sheets Of parch-
ment paper cementod together with spc.
cial cement composed OF turpentine, Span
ism white, lac and boiled linseed oil. The
separate pieces are stamped out, cemented
and pressed together in a hydraulic press.
When dry the shoe thus formed Is rasped
into the exact form and size required.
