A Picture in a Horses Eve.

Some rare and unaccountable freak of
nature has made natural wonder of an
unassrming white horse at Spokane
Falls, Washington. The wonder is not
the horse himself, but in picture which
covers the front part of the left eye of
the animal. Anyone who has ever had
the pleasure of a visit to Spokane will
remember the falls which give the city
its other name; that IS, the name of
Spokane Falls. The picture in the
horses eye is perfect miniature OF the
falls, island, mill and all. The animals
optic has been examined by hundreds of
persons, including photographers,
scientists, opticians, etc., and the
miniature in the eye has been carefully
compared with photographs and engrav-
ings of the falls, and all have concurred
in pronouncing it wonder of wonders
and most remarkably correct picture.
The owner of this wonderful creature,
Mr.. peakin, has been offered all the
way from $4,000 to $4,000 for his
curiosity, but 30 far he has refused all
offers, seeming to prefer being pestered
to death by sight-seers, who come by the
thousands to view the uncanny picture
and ask questions.
A traveller, G. A. Dillman, who took
peep at the wonder of the "Wonder Of
the Rockies" last summer, has the
following to say in regard to the horse
and the picture:
"Mr. Deakiu sent the horse around to
the hotel where I stopped, in order that
1 might see him. The animal is white
in color, and of medium size. I was
somewhat sceptical about the story of
the picture until I had looked into the
horses left eye. Judge of my astonish-
ment when I saw therein depicted a per-
feet reproduction of the falls of the
Spokane River, as true to Life as any
photograph" -
The part of the falls shown is from
the water works across to the mills. The
island upon which tho water works
buildings stand is also shown. The
picture is absolutely perfect in every de-
tail. The horse is one of number
bought in by horse dealers, and has been
the property of the present owner (who,
by the way, was the discoverer OF the
picture) but short while.-St. Louis
Republic.

A Storm in the Forest.

The Seattle (Washington) Post In
telligencer publishes the following ac-
count of storm in the Clallam forest
as seen by an eye witness:
"Large trees, giants of the forest,
from three to five feet through, COM
menced to fall around us without ap-
parent cause at first, but soon the storm
in its fury and grandeur burst Upon US.
The wind was terrific, accompanied by a
binding rain, and trees fell by thousands
on the hills and surrounding country,
and sounded like continuous roar of
artillery. We were camped in deep
valley behind point of mountain which
broke the wind for a short distance
around US, but the trees from the hills
would almost reach our camp, and the
air was full of flying limbs, and we
could hear them drop around US, but
not being able to see them we could not
Try to avoid them.
"Thus we passed long hour waiting
for light, now hearing a fearful crash,
and uselessly dodging and running in
the small place occupied by our camp.
Finally daylight broke, and to our
anxious minds the dawn was never more
welcome. But what scene it presented! !!
Nothing more grand could be imagined.
The storm could be seen sweeping over
the mountains, carrying trees by the thou
sand before it. Accompanied by the
rain and terrible roar, it lasted until
about A. NJ"

Muscle Without Meat.

The generally accepted idea as to

Some Lofty Mountains.

In all books on geography published
during the latter part OF the last century
and the first two decades OF the present
it was plainly stated that Mount Chin
borazp, peak Of the Andes in Old
Peru (now Ecuador), with an altitude of
21, ,420 feet, was the most lofty peak in
the world. The reputation of Chimbo-
'razo received severe shock when Mr..
Pentlaud, a British scientist, began his
explorations in the Bolivian Andes,
where he soon found two peaks, Sorato
and Illimanl, whose respective attitudes
were "a, 900 and $4,000 feet.
But while Mr.. Pentland was making
his historic observations in the Andes,
Others with observing minds were ex'
ploring the cloud-clapped peaks Of the
Himalayas and measuring the heights of
the principal SUBMITS. Forty peaks of
that chain were measured, none of which
were less than 10000 feet in height.
One of these, Dhawalageri (White Noun
tain) has an altitude OF 26, ,762 feet, and,
till the height of Mount Everest was
computed, was believed to be the highest
mountain peak in the world. Three
others in the same range besides Everest
and Dhawalageri are higher than the
highest mountain in America. They
are: Jawanir, 25, ,749 feet; Chamalari,
26 900 feet even, and Gossingthar, a.
74O. Add Everest to the four above
enumerated and we have five mountain
peaks in one chain, almost in sight OF
each other, which are all over "a ,Ooo
feet high, Everest being the most lofty,
its height being reckoned all the way
between 20, ,OO2 and 29,7O0. For nearly
half century Mount Everest, or Gauri-
sacker (as it is known in Europe and
Asia), was thought to be the apex OF tho
world. In 1881, however, a Captain
Law.on, sent out by the British Geogra-
phical Society, discovered peak on the
Isle of Papna which is 32,763 feet m
height. He named it Mount Hercules.

l,he Heaviest Metal Known.

The metal tungsten hitherto has had
no use in the arts, and has been merely
one of the curiosities of mineralogy. But
recently it has been discovered to have
some very useful properties one OF which
is that when added to steel it inparts
an extraordinary elasticity to it, and or
that account is now being used in the
manufacture of heavy artillery. It Is
curious fact that some of the most sur.
prising discoveries now being made are
connected with warlike purposes, and not
in the arts of peace, unless we may look
upon the preparations of war as neces'
sary to secure the peace of the world land
thus properly and usefully advance the
practice of the useful arts. This metal
is one of the heaviest known, having
specific gravity of 1850, gold having
gravity of 1926. 1t has been very
scarce metal, probably because OF the
want ofany practical use for it, but now
it is being searched for it is being dis
covered where it was not expected. 1t
has hitherto been found mostly in Swe-
den and in the States of Connecticut and
Maine. But recently large deposits of
it have been found in New Zealand. It
is found in combination with lime, iron,
and lead, and this ore has been called
wolfram. As it has not so far been of
any use in the arts there is at present no
established market price for it. The
most common ore is that known as
wolfram, which appears as soft yellow
ish or greenish earth that is very heavy,
and contains 1913 per cent. of tungsten
and 20.7 per cent. of oxygen.-New
York Times.

Acute Hearing Of Horses.

It is well known that horses can hear
deep sounds which men cannot. For
days previous to the earthquake in the
Riviera of Italy the horses there showed
every symptom OF abject fear, which
continued without any change Of
character till the fury of the convulsion
broke forth. But not till few seconds
before the earth began to quake did
human beings hea. any sounds, while it
is extremely probable that the horses
heard the subterranean noises for two or
three days previously.-C Chicago Times.

COMFORT OF THE FIELDS,

When the rude world hath used thee witt

And care ats at thy elbow day and night,
Filching thy pleasures like subtle theft.
To me, when life besets me in such wise,
IT'S sweetest to break forth, to drop the
chain,
And grasp the freedom of this pleasant
earth,
To roam in idleness and sober mirth
Through summer airs and summer lands, ant
drain
The comfort of wide fields unto tired eyes.
By hills and waters, farms and solitudes,
To wander by the day with wilful feet,
Through felded valleys wide with yellow
ing wheat,
Along gray roads that run between deep
woods
Murmurous and cool, through hallowed
slopes of pine,
Where the long daylight dreams, un-
pierced, unstirred,
And only the h.throated thrush is
heard;
By lonely forest brooks that froth and shine
In powdered crannies, buried in the hills;
By broken beaches tangled with wild vine,
And log-strewn rivers murmurous with
mills.
In upland pastures, sown with gold, and
sweet
With the keen perfume Of the ripening
grass,
Where wings of birds and filmy shadows
pass,
Spread thick as stars with shining mar.

And pied blossoms to the hearts desire,

With iron rosr Of waters; far away
Across wide-reeded meres pensive with

To hear tho querulous outcry Of the loon;
To lie among deep rocks, and watch all day
On liquid heights the snowy clouds melt

Or hear from wood capped mountain brows

To watch as through a mist of light and

The far-off hay-felds. where the dusty
teams
Drive round and round the lessening squares
Of hay,
And hear upon the wind, now loud, no "

With drowsy cadence half summers day,
The ciatter Of the reapers come and go.
Far violet hills, horizons filmed with shad-

The murmur of cool streams, the forests

The voices of the breathing grass thehum
Of ancient gardens overbanked with flow

Thus, with smile as golden as ths dawn,
And cool fair fingers ra iiautly divine.
And mighty mother brings US in her hand,
For all tired eyes and foreheads pinched

Her restful cup, her beaker Of bright wine;
Drink, and be filed, and ye shall under

A Veteran of the Mexican War.
Samuel L. McFadin, whose portrait
appears above, is prominent citizen of
Logansport, Ind, and one of but seven
teen surviving veterans of company OF
ninety.two young men who left that city
forty-fve years ago for the seat of War
in Mexico. he now holds the position
of Marshal of National Association, and
although we'll advanced in years is still
hearty and hale. In writing of his
health he says: I had been troubled
for a long time with Rheumatism, Kidney
and Liver Complaint and could hardly
get around. Suffered great pain night
and day. After trying many different
kinds of medicines and finding no relief,
at last through the advice of friend I
purchased DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
from one of our leading Druggists, B. F.
Kesling, and must say it has helped me
wonderfully, as I now walk without
pain.
1t is the only medicine that has done
me any good, and has been great ben
eft in invigorating and building up my
system, greatly assisting the liver, KID
neys and digestive organs. This is the
first recommendation l have ever given
a medicine and it affords me pleasure to
call the attention of the public to the
merits of this wonderful specific. Those
who try Swan Root have generally first
employed the family physician, or used
all the prescriptions within their reach
without benefit. As last resort, when
their case has become chronic, the symp-
toms complicated and their constitution
run down, then they take this remedy,
and it is just such cases and cures that
have made swamp-Root famous and
