some Of the Curious Vegetable Organisms
That Live In the Ocean.
At the Imperial institute, London. Mr..
George Murray Of the British museum.
recently gave a lecture on THE Pas
lures Of the Sea-" which consisted Of a
brief account Of the vegetable organ
isms which live In the ocean. Treating
first Of these seaweeds which grow near
the land. he said they do not occur at
a greater depth than nifty fathoms.
They nay be classified according to
their color into red. olive-brown and
green. and this classification corre-
spends fairly well with the natural n
founded on considerations Of structure.
The red seaweeds grow below low water
mark. the green at high water mark.
and the olive-brown between the marks.
The colors ppear to stand In direct re-
lation with the supply Of light. since
sea water stops those ray which are
especially concerned In the formation
Of c~hlorophyll. The red pigment. per-
haps. acts as a shield to protect the
plant from the blue rays which pass
through sea water abundantly. But in
view OF the teeming animal life OF the
sea. these trifiing amounts of coast sea-
weeds canno be consids red sufficient
to maintain the necessary balance he
tween animal and vegetable life. This
is effected by the floating microscopic
plants which are found In almost all
waters. sometimes In immense masses.
as In the Red sea. which takes Its name
from their color. They occur In fresh
waters too: the spray Of the fountains
In Kensington gardens In autumn has a
blue green tint which Is due to the
presence Of a species Of this plant. The
floating weed in the Sargossa sea Is n
puzzling phenomenon. 1t has been
supposed to be seaweed washed of from
the Antilles. but unfortunately for that
theory no plant Of the same species has
ever been found growing In those is
lands. In conclusion the lecturer urged
the necessity Of further study of the
| ocean and Its economy.

rHE Hackney CRAZE.

\ subscriber in England, who is in
position to know what he is talkiUg
about, writes some plain truths about the
hackneys as follows: ut seems curious
that Il nation generally considered The
shrewdcst in the world should have been
so taken in by the hackney craze. II
Americans only saw the other side of the
picture they would not have anything
more to do with hackneys. In England.
only those who have more money han
horse sense 90 in for them. \ man
comes into some money and thinks he
will have carriage and the horse dealers
load him up with hacllneys at the price
of thousands of dollars. Now look for
. moment what this man wants and what
he gets. What he wants is very high
action, beauty of shape, and presumably
stamina enough to do reasonable work.
"What does he get: \ neck SO short
and thick that a collar cannot be gotto fit
properly, goose rump, common carty
shape without any quality, a mouth like
iron, so that he cannot drive the horses
himself in phaetOn with comfort, but
his cOachman has to have all sorts of
severe bits and net over the mouth.
Pounding action in front and the hind
legs dragged and crossed, so that the
horses have to wear boots behind. Add
ed to this, lack of pluck and stamina, the
horses in white lather before they have
gone mile, and only to be driven twice
week for "A short distance, or they will
be off their feed, lose their action and go
lame.
Now, only those who know nothing
about horses drive hackneys in England;
the others 90 in for we'll bred horses for
driving, more of the English hunter type.
and lately they have been importing
American horses for that purpose. The
writer looked over the. stable of one of the
largest job masters in London lately, anu
found half the horses there American,
quarter French or German, and the
remaining quarter English, but saw
no hachneys among them. The stable
man who showed him over said: we

tempered, the more we get the more we
want, and our customers like them best,
as they can get along" bit.
"lf horses are wanted in the States for
crossing with trottiug mares to give
higher action, why are not Russian
horses imported: Any amount of high
stepping horses, with much more quality
than the hackney. can be bought in st.
Petersburg, Russia. at "A fifth the price

ed into hackneyS. have, during the last
few years, won first prizes for high.stcp-

for any but show purposes. so why !
should Americans let themselves be
taken in by the useless hrutcs - Horse

THE FUTURE DEMAND FOR
HORSES.

In figuring the future demand for
horses there is necessarily n great deal
of guessworh. Unque>tiOnably any in
vention which viii enable machinery to
do the work now done by horses will
largely influence the future markets. It
may be said here that the influence of
electricity and bicycles ON the horse
trade has been Over-eStimated and like
wise the depressing influence of the eX-
cessive supply resulting from the great
rush into horse breeding by farmers and
ranchmen has not been charged with its
due share of the present depression,
Everywhere rapid transit lines have ex-
tended and population increased. people
seeking the suburbs and avoiding the in
terror of cities. This has called for an
Increase in number of pleasure horses
and horses for use on delivery wagons,
etc. The influence of the bicycle is less
than many suppose. Most of the people
who are able to keep horses do not or
cannot ride the wheel, and great many
who own bicycles couldn't afford to keep
horse if they hadn't a wheel. Thus
the decrease in the use of horses cannot
be measured by the number thrown out
of use by street car companies, or by the
number of bicycles in use.
Inventors have for some time been ex-
perimenting with motor carriages, and
there is no question that the future mar
ket for horses will depend considerably
on the results of the efforts to make such
carriages practical and cheap. At
present these carriages are merely toys,
which NAV be used on smooth pavements
where no obstacles are to be overcome.
Recent tests have shown they cannot
pull heavy loads or climb even ordinary
hills. On the other hand, inventors have
brought few things as far toward per-
lection as the motor vehicles are now
without carrying them forward to COM
plete success. Time alone can tell what
will be the result of experimentation IN
this line.-GNational Stockman and
Farmer.
