The Argentine Republic has lately Is
sued a pamphlet entitled "Ihe Horse.
the Ass and the Mule" 1t contains .
great deal of information about the
horse of that country. The Argentine
Republic occupies the third place in the
world so far as the breeding of horses
is concerned. Russia comes first, while
the United States hold second place.
The horse has been an important fac
tor in the civilization OF the South
American people as il formerly consti.
tuted their chief means OF transporta-
ton. All journeys were made on
horseback, several remounts being
made by each rider. Only when heavy
and bulky merchandise had to be car
ried did the people use carts drawn by
oxen. They also used pack mules.
Fifty years ago horses lived in a wild
state and managed to draw away to
their wild lie small herds of domesti-
Gated animals. They had increased in
a most extraordinary manner. The
country was not very prosperous ut
that time, whole ranches were aban-
doned by their owners, and on some
utStIltu Cttllt IAtilS lhCiC hNAO ~
many rs 80. 900 head of wild horses.
At present most of the herds are domcs-
ticated.
The common breed Of horse in the
republic are called criroitoS. They
were the original breed, but of late
veal breeders have been crossing then,
with imported stock from England and
this country. The horses are OF fair
size, from Ii to 10 hands high. They
are strong and healthy animals possess
ing great power Of endurance. They
don't require much feed, as they are
content with the pasture they tind III
the fields. In the country districts
owing to the sandy nature of the soil
the horses are never shod.
In the province of Monies Grande'
the horses are famous for their size,
They are bigger and stronger than ths
ordinary criroiios. By the last ceusu.
there were 4.262, 9l7 horses in the Ar
gentine Republic.

BIC ARMIES ~ BATTLE.
The Greatest Number Engaged In Modern
Times Was at Leipsic In 1913.

Without doubt, OF all the battles re-
corded in modern history, the longest
and sternest. as well as the one in which
most men were engaged, was the mem
orable battle of Leipsic. Oct. l6. Is, ~.
1913, called 10y the Germans the battle
Of the nations, says the Brooklyn Eagtc.
The number OF troops engaged is vari-
ously stated by different writers at from
1876, 900 TO 1870, 900 on the side OF NapO-
leon l., and from 230. 600 10 300, 600 OF
that of the allies under Prince Schwartz
zenburg, Butcher and Bernadotte. In
this awful battle the slain on both sides
amounted to 81, 600, aud thousands Of
he wounded lay for days around the
city. In the battle Of koniggratz, or
Sadowa, July 3, 1906, fought during
the Seven weeks war, % the allied Aus
trian and Saxon troops engaged
amounted to about 200, 600 men, while
the Prussians, under ,heir king, mus
tered in round numbers 200. 00O COM
batants. The total loss of the Austrians,
etc. amounted to about 1 5000 men,
while that of the Prussiaus was 10, 900.
If we 90 back TO the melee Of ancient
days, we find il stated that at the one
fought at Tours in 1872 between the
Franks and the Saracens. from $50, 0OU
10 375. 900 men were killed on the field.
This would, OF course, mean that many
more men were engaged than at Leip-
sic. In Il battle mentioned in Chronl-
cles H., between Asa, king of Judah,
and Rerah, king of Ethiopia, we are
told that the former had an army of a
thousand thousand, or loo. 600. Canon
Rawlinson observes that this statement
does not exceed the numbers of other
oriental armies. Darius Codomannus
brought into the field a force of 1910
600 men neal Arbela, where he was
