VERY DINIyITIvE PONIES.
PhenomenaIIy small Animals Pros
duced ON an Illinois Farm.

duced ON an Illinois Farm.
st Louis republic: During the past two
months the Milne brothers OF Monmouth,
ILL.,, have been sending out pictures and
accounts of the SMALLEST colt in the
world" a diminitiye specimen OF the
equine species ioaled at their pony farm
in July, 1894. This is being done because
OF an item which appeared during the
summer and which claimed that an Indi-
ana Shetland colt belonging to Harry B.
Smith of Hartford City was the smallest
colt ever foaled on American soil. The
equine dwarf OF the Hoosier state was 81
inches high and weighed 27l9 pounds on
the day of its birth.
Mines "vest pocket edition COLT" &C
cording to the accounts which were Civ
en- at the time, was but twenty inches
high at birth and weighed but twenty
pounds-one pound exactly Tor each inch.
This miniature in horsefiesh was named
Tom Thumb. His mother is Kila, one Of
Mines pets. She is so small that an
average sized man can stand astride her
and place both feet squarely upon the
ground without touching her back.
In this connection IL might be we'll to
mention a few other dwarfs Of the horse
family: George Washington, a pony colt
foaled at the Empire City Wis., Shet-
land farm on February 22d, 1895. weigh
ed but 35 pounds and stood 20 inches
high. What is said to be the smallest
full-grown Shetland in America 10 the
property of Robert Lilburn of Emerald
Grove, Wis. We have no figures on his
height or age, but the Worlds Fair rec
ord shows that he only weighed 100
pounds. In light OF the above we cannot
consider the items which have been CO.
ing the rounds Of the press regarding the
diminutiye ponies belonging to the Shah
ofPersa and the Baroness Burdett- Coutts
as being other than rank lakes. One OF
these declares that the Shah's pony is
but 1873 inches in height; the other, that
the Baroness pet is but IA inches high
and that it weighs but IL pounds.

WHY FROST EXPANDS WATER.
Scientists Are sim Puzzled over the
weIt.known Phenomenon.

One OF the most curious natural phe-
nomena, and one which has never as yet
been explained by the philosophers, is
that in reference to the expansion Of
freezing water. The case of water is a
singular exception to all natural laws OF
expansion by heat and contraction by
cold, which apply in cases OF all other
known liquids. When water is freezing
it contracts in bulk down TO the point
where the mercury reaches the reading Of
39la degrees, or Z Is degrees above ireez-
ing, from which point it slowly expands
according to the intensity OF cold. No
other liquid is known to possess this re-
markable property, except that certain
metals expand slightly ia passing from a
liquid to solid state. But if heat be
applied to water after it has cooled down
to a temperature of 39Is degrees (the
point where it is ready to begin expand
ing should a greater degree of cold be APP
plied) it will Immediately expand by the
universal law. But should we lower the
temperature to 81 degrees it will expand
by its own special law. Another curious
point to be noted here is this: That the
amount of expansion IS as great in water
lowered from 39la degrees down to 81 de-
grees as it is in water that has been heat
ed 80 that the temperature runs up from
39t9 to AZ degrees. These points are
certainly odd and curious aud worthy Of
attention and experiment.

ments BOOMING.


Mr.. ]. o. Curry of Chicago, general
agent and representative of the soldiers

gagged in settling the colony formed in
Wilcox and Irwin counties, is at the De

When asked about the progress being

and getting in shape for the winter
The town of Fitzgerald. which is in the
center of the colony, has about been laid

business.
Almost every day brings in some of

Unless Some Good Reason Why They
should BE Seen, the Mayor Says.
Rev A NJ Williams of Wesley Monu-
mental church is endeavoring to secure
from the police dockets for the three last
administrations certain information with
regard TO the morality of the city under
those administrations.
He applied to Clerk A N Manuey to
be allowed to see the dockets, but Mr..
Manuey considered that he had no right
TO show them upon such a request. unless
1t was stated definitely why they We're
wanted, or certain particular data was
asked for.
Mr.. Williams it is understood. expects
10 preach sermon on What Constitutes
a Good CitizenY' as the outcome of his
sermon last Sunday and the reply to il by
Mayor Myers. 1t was suggested by Mr..
Manucy that he request the mayor to
allow him TO see the dockets. Mayor Ny
ers reply to Mr.. Williams was that if he
would state some good legal reason why
he should be allowed to see the dockets
or II ne would state specifically what data
ne desired, prompt attention would be
given to his request
Mr.. Williams has written a letter TO the
mayor, stating his reasons for desiring
70 see the dockets, and what informa tion
is wanted from them That letter Will
probably be considered by Mayor MYERS
to-day on his return from Atlanta
Mr.: Williams desires TO see the dock
cts. 1t is understood, in the interests of
morality, and on the ground that he Is
properly a student of morality 1t is said
that he desires to compare the statistics
or drunkenness and crime under the pres.
ent and past administration, especially
with reference TO the Sabbath
Whether Mr.. Williams reason for de.
slrlng to inspect the dockets will be-
considered a proper legal reason or moi
remains TO be seen.
