union may be their manifest destiny,
the jealousy ofrival States and the

The destructive tornado in Iowa
calls renewed attention to this myste-
rious manifestation of Natures power,
which seems to be almost peculiar to
the West, and suggests to the New
York Tribune that a scientific inyestiga-
ton of its causes might well be under
Aaken by meteorologists. For it is
possible that if it's causes were known
something might be done to prevent
it, or, at any rate, to guard against it.
This last tornado was onebf the worst
that has ever visited the West, and
caused great loss of life and proper.

The future of the horse breeder seems
to the American Dairyman to be matter
of moment at this time. The advent
of electricity as motor for surface
cars is displacing large bodies of
horses that were formerly used for
such purposes. To this we must add
roads that are using and are about to
adopt cables. These throw on the
market large contingent of animals.
The presence of such a volume of
horses, far in excess of the needs of
buyers, ruins prices. The bicycle is
another factor that is replacing the
horse in some degree. Its extended
use in the near future will enlarge this
very materially Yet with this de-
creased demand the supply does not
indicate diminution. The breeder
seems to be intent on the production
of that class of horse in largest quanti-
ty for which there is least inquiry.
The demand which the surface rail
roads created for horses while they de-
pended on them for motive power is
rapidly passing away in every section
of the country. The class of animal
suited for that work will gradually
disappear. Under these changed con-
ditions we believe the breeders woul
do wisely if they paused long enough
to learn the demands of the horse mar
ket of the immediate future. That
these would be circumscribed is evident
when the causes we have mentioned
are recalled. OF course, the farmer
will breed the horse that bes. meets
his requirements, but the breeder
must await the settling of the market
that it may formulate the classes of
horses that are most profitable for him
to breed and sell.

the falls are indicated by Cross, but
no description of the wonderful cataract
is given, and the best geographical
authorities living to-day doubt if the
explorer mentioned ever saw the falls,

withstanding. Father Hennepin is
believed to have written the first de-
scription of the falls that was ever

The effect good roads have upon the
soc al life of community is illustrated,
notes the Chicago Herald, by the con-
ditions prevailing in the broad level
area of Delaware and the eastern shore
of Maryland. lying Immediately below
the foothill region that borders Penn
sylvania. The level tract is a fine
farming region, inhabited by pros
porous people who have dwelt long in
the land. County and state lines are
diIregarded in social life, and the
young folks of one state think nothing
of teu or fifteen mile drive across
country to attend party in the other.
Every man knows not only his neigh
bors of the same village or county
but as well half the inhabitants of
bordering counties in the other state.

Polar Bears Keep Cool

''It will surprise most people" SAID
superintendent A. E. Brown, OF the
Philadelphia geological garden, to O.
Record man. "to learn that the polar
bear stands the hot weather of the dog
days in this locality better than the
African lion. On hot days the Lion
will get off his feed; the polar bean
will not. The tropical animals in the
garden, continued the superintendent,
care the ones mostly affected by the
extreme heat of midsummer, strange
as it may appear. I suppose the
reason of it is that the heat here 10
more moist than thatof the tropics, and.
as it were, of different character.
Whatever mortality occurs among our
animals during heated term is mostly
among the tropical animals, especially
the African. In hot weather I have
watched the polar bear go into his
tank, and then, instead of lying I'D
the shade, extend himself in the direct
rays of the sun, where the water on
his skin would evaporate. He found
out for himself, suppose, that evapo-
ration causes lower temperature.
Again, it is somewhat astonishing, at
first, that our polar bear should suffer
sometimes as he does from the severe
cold of winter. I have seen him
shivering on one of those bitterly cold
days, when the sky was overladen and
the air full of moisture. The moisture
was evidently what affected him. In
the Arctic regions it is SO cold that the
moisture is frozen out of the air.
Birds do not like the heat It makes
them perch with dropped wings. Heat
affects not only the animals in the
garden but the finances of the garden
itself. A difference of ten degrees in
the thermometer, say if it is ninety.
five instead of eighty-fve, means loss
of several hundreds of dollars in our
gate receipts for the day."

According to the San Francisco
Chronicle, hypnotlsm has passed out
of the domain of speculation and be-
come an assured fact-that is, the pos
sibiity of inducing the hypnoptic
state or condition in most people is
now conceded. The practical uses to
which it may be put are still regarded
as uncertain, but the best scientific
opinion is that it may be used in the
practice of medicine just as legitimate
" as anaesthetics and with much the
same limitations. It is not safe to
fool with, any more than morphine or
chloroform, but it has distinctly rec
ognized remedial functions in certain
cases
