A Clever Horse.

This story shows the intelligence
Of Kentucky roam, who was left in an
open paddock fastened by meals of
wooden hasp. THIS he learned in few
days to take out with his teeth and drop
on the ground, only to have it carefully
replaced by the stable boy, who displayed
a wonderful intuition about discovering
it. Finally, when it became plain to his
horseish understanding that there was
nothing to be gained by such perfor-
nance he tried the experiment of carry
ing it over to the other side of the fence
and letting it fall into a neighboring
yard.
Now it so happened that his owner
caught him in the act aud relentlessly
went and fastened him in again; thea

would come next. AS he had expected,
the horse diligently loosened the stick
again, but-now comes the queer part OF
it-instead OF putting it in any Of the
old places he gave one defiant snort AID
laboriously set to work to cat it u9. If
his object was the total annihilation OF
the hasp there is no doubt he accom-
plished it fully. All of which goes to
prove what splendid disreg gard OF

Valuable Birds.

The State Of Illinois, which has proven
a most favorable spot for the pagation
of the imported pest known as the Eng
lish sparrow, has at last grown reStive
under the inhiction and has put price
upon their hea1s-two cents each. The
Chicago Herald gives some figures to
show the magnitude OF the job that
Illi1 Dis has tackled. 1t says:
The Department Of Agriculture is su-
thority for the statement that the poster.
ity of one female sparrow in ten yeaas is
something like 5000, ,OOO,O 900 birds.
These at two cents apiece would cost the
public treasury s., $50, ,O0), 900, or lit
tic over half billion dollars year.
When you multiply this by the number
of female sparrows in and around Chi
cago you get some idea OF the brea lth
and scope of the new undertaking. And
it is quite possible that the fecundity of
the sparrow will be increased by care and
cultivation. A. bird which represents
an income of half billion dollars year
will be provided with warm nest aud
every facility for pleasant and active

A Fish Swallowed His Watch.

A rather strange as well as amusing
incident happened on board the schooner
Emma Clara while at sen last Saturday
on her way II? from Rockport. TheJ
were we'll out at sea where the water was
blue aud clear and the wind very light,
when one of the passengers discovered a
large fish which is known in those waters
as linn, following close behind the
boat.
Several of the boys were sool leaning
over the stern almiring the fish, when
one of then accidentally dropped his
watch overheard olt of his overshirt
pocket. 1t was large old-fashioned
Swiss silver watch, and when it hit the
water it glanced off sideways aui darted
on its voyage to the bottom OF the sea,
but the linn saw it, and as he is a fish
that bites at everything that shines, re-
gardless of flavor or taste, opeael his
huge mouth ani swallowed the watch at
one gulp. The surprised and cha ayriue
young man says that the watch had just
been wound up aud was good to tick
away for twenty-four hours at least. Thu
fish seemed to enjoy the meal, and fol.
lowed leisurely after the boat for somt
time. - VeldSc1 (Cal.) Times.

The United States Navy.

In 1912 the supremacy of the seas, i
long held by England and constituting
her greatest boast for over two centuries !
was violently seized upon and shared by
the United States. From that time Of /,
our greatest naval strength two thing s.
have operated to make US the weakest
naval power in the world, relatively to
our wealth and standing as a nation: the
character of naval architecture and equip
meat has been revolutionized aud i'm
proved far above the standard of our
naval relics and, up to a short while
since we made no attempt to follow the
the world in their great naval strides.
Yet, singularly, it was from this country
that the suggestion came which started
modern progress. The Monitor and the
Merrimac, especially the former, set the
world a thinking.
Yet while wc thus gave the suggestion
and the nations of Europc-yes, even c.
Asia-went ON building ship after ship
Of the most formidable character, wd
were content to remain in the degraded
condition exhibited by the following
list of "Old Navy" ships, still in comis-
sion at the beginning of the year;

23 wooden steam vessels.
3 steam receiving ships.
y tugs.
/ sailing practice vessel.
2 sailing schoolships.
1 sailing store ship.
7 sailing receiving ships.
All armei with old fashioned muzzlc
loading guns.
But all this is changed; we awoke to
realization of our weak state and we
began "New Navy" When completed
to the extent already authorized by Con
eress, it will be something like this:

to 10 knots.
23 unarnorei vessels, including all
sorts OF modern craft from a 100
ton torpedo boat to ships of $500
tons; speed IS to % knots.
Even when all these shall be COM
pleted the United States Navy will be
inferior to those of the leading powers
of Europe; but we shall have made a
start and a right good one, and, better
yet, we shall have created plants in this
country capable Of making ships OF wal

The Destruction Of Forests.

Engineer Arras, of the Government SER
vice, states that the beginning of the end
has come so fer as white oak in Pennsyl-
vania is concerned. The Government
lately gave a contract in this city for
some square white OAK timber, of siz,
That dozen years ago could have beer
found in the hard lumber yards here
abouts in an hours time. After per-
sistent search the contractor threw up
his contract, stating that he could not
ill it. 1t was then given to another, and
at the end OF a fortnight he reported that
he had secured all but two pieces, and
that they were not to be hal. Mr.. Arras
then got the order modified, and as
changed it was iiIe1 after all the log
RATS lying in the river had been in
spected.
Owners of what hemlock timber is left
about the headwaters Of the Allegheny
have tiually learned sense enough to re-
frain from allowing the trees to rot after
the bark is peeled, but few years ago
that country was covered by half rotten
hemlock and rock oak trees. Now, too,
the immense freight on bark is saved.
The taanin is extracted in the woods
where the bark is obtained. 1t is esti-
mattel that there are still between /, ,200,-
900, 600 and 1900, 600, 900 feet of mer-
chantable timber in the Tionesta Valley.
This is equivalent to 1900, 900 two-horse
loads, bu. while somewhat bewildering
in "fgurative' way, it will not be
many years until the last tree is slain.
There is very little forest left in this
State that is worth anything for lumber,
and meantime the railroads are consun-
ing all the hardwood large enough to make
a tie, so that there is no prospect OF re-
newal of our hard wood timber in a cea-
tury, and the pine aud other persistents
do not readily reclothe the wastes. But
worse than the loss of timber, for which
substitutes may be found, is the fact
that since the denudatiou of the forests
our climate has become so uncertain that
even with the aid of the Signal Service
no business calculations can be basel on
the weather, and birds aud animals have
not yet acquired new instinct such as
will enable them to serve us as bIro ne
ters. Even the hoot owl misses it as
often as the Weather Bureau. .-Pittsbury

Experiments in Food Products.

1t has long been known that the most
perishable kinds of food can be preserved
for long periods by freezing. Iu the
arctic regions, where the natural ten-
perature favors such a course, freezing IS
relied on to preserve meat for months
at time. The introduction Of ofartiicial
freezing processes has caused freezing to
be utilized in our own more southern
latitudes with greater or less success for
the same object.
A test Of the question of food pre-
seryation by the above means was re
Gently brought to a striking conclusion.
A few days ago, Edward r Bell gave a
dinner at his residence in thls city. As
guests there were present Rev. Morgan
Dix, D. d., Rev. IIalsey Knapp aud
some other friends. The primal object
of the gathering was to test the palatabil-
ity Of turkey which had been killed
tea years ago, and which had been kept
frozen ever since. Mr.. Knapp had been
the custodian OF the bird during all those
years. The turkey was prepared as a
part OF the dinner.
1t was found that the fowl was perfect
in shape, and without tajut Of any sort,
but its meat was utterly tasteless and
void of all the flavor and juices proper
to a well roasted turkey. The fat aud
juices had entirely disappeared, leaving
only bone and muscular fiber. The pre-
vailing impression as to the inferiority
of frozen food products was fully borne
out by this interesting experiment. 1t
is known that freezing impairS the fla
vor of meats, fish and vegetables, AL
while it arrests decomposition it doe; not
entirely prevent evaporation and de'ic-
cation.
Housekeepers who are particular about
providing the best beef, fowls, and pro-
visions in general for their tables are
very apt to avoid the purchase of any
products which have been frozen. For
reasonable periods food is kept By cold
without freezing, and this is virtullly
the action of our domestic refrigeratOr5
Absolute freezing with preservation
through one or two seasons is not to be
commended. -.Scieatifc American.

Perhaus the Moon is Inhabited.

It does not seem improbable that in
the course Of events the earth and the
moon may become more intimately ac-
auaintel. A few years ago scientists
held the theory that the moon was dead
planet, without atmosphere. aud conse-
quently uninhabited. This theory has
recently been entirely controverted. The
work begun by Professor Holden at the
Lick Observatory upon Mount Hamilton
has been steadily continued, aud the pho
tographs taken by him aud his assistants
have revealed certain facts hitherto un-
known.
Photographic observations show per-
fec. map of the moon, and upon the
summit of one Of the highest mountains
is a white spot which has tue Appearance
of glacier, proving the presence of at
mosphere and making the theory OF the
habitableness of the moon tenable. 1t
is claimed by Professor Holden that by
q continuous series of photographs he is
able to detect any changes upon the sur
face Of the moon, and that building
fifty feet in hight would cast an appre-
ciable shadow.
II the moon is inhabited the fact win
certainly be discovered sooner or later,
but question Of tho establishment oi
communication is still unsolvg-. although
in the face of the scientific achievements
of the last century we will not predict
that it is unsolyabIe. - Chicago Graphic.
