Ancestor of the Modern Horse.

From the Scientific American
The American Museum of Natural His
tory has recently acquired the famous little
four-toed horse from the collection of Prof
Cope Of Philadelphia, and it is here pub
licly exhibited for the first time. This little
animal, although fully matured, is only 31s
hands high, and is estimated at 100000
years of age. The skull and limbs, nev ,r-
theless, display the most undoubted char
acteristics of the horse there being a
broad space in the lower jaw corresponding
to the space for the bit The teeth are
short and simple; the limbs are scarcely
larger in diameter than good-sized pencil
and there are four toes, all resting upon
the ground, in the fore-foot. To those who
still doubt whether this little animal is
actually the ancestor of the modern horse
a remarkable series of feet is exhibited,
giving all the stages between this four-toed
and the modern tre-t toed animal, in which
the medlap toe is seen constantly increaS-
irg in size, and the side toes are constantly
diminishing until they are reduced to the
pair of splints. This evidence is further
confirmed by an almost equally complete
series of skulls showing every stage in this
wonderful development. The two extremes
of this wonderful series are shown in the
little four-toed animal placed beneath the
head of the modern trotting horse skeleton,
showing the exact relative size of each.
This exhibit, together with botany and
anatomy, is placed in the Vanderbilt gal
lery.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
What Constitutes a Letter.
ABSOLUTELY PURE

From the Paper World.
Most people have supposed that anything
sealed against inspection and delivered to
the post office constituted in effect "let-
ter" which at the regulation rate of two
cents postage per ounce the mail service
would be obliged to forward to its destina-
tioA. So far as the domestic service is
concerned. this supposition may be correct
and would seem to be implied by the word
Ing. of official decisions, which declare that
'all matter sealed or otherwise closed
against inspection is also of the first class"
But with the foreign mail service, at least
the condition is different. A provision in the
postal treaty specifies that letters sin their
usual and ordinary FORM are to be for
warded at given rate. Just what consti-
tuted this usual and ordinary form has
not till now been defined and officially de-
clared, and this is the way in which the
definition was brought out:
A Boston architect offered at the post Of
fee in that city sealed roll addressed to
the commissioner of patents at Ottawa,
Canada, on which the proper amount OF
postage. at letter rates. had been paid.
The clerk in charge of the window declined
to receive the roll as letter, and on the
matter being referred to him. postmaster
Coveney decided that the term letter Is to
be construed to mean and embrace sealed
packages consisting of an envelope OF any
size, but fiat as Is the usual letter. The
objector did not think that this ruling and
definition Of letter was correct. and gave
his opinion that a letter was a package
containing personal matter of no salable
value" The matter being referred to the
authorities at Washington for decision, the
superintendent of foreign malls In due time
forwarded a decision embodying the Joint
opinions of Canadian and American postal
authorities, to the effect that "the term let
ter. in it's usual and ordinary form, is to be
cd fn Sea1ad
sisting of an envelope of any size. but of
the usual letter shape. and its contenrs;
but that rolls or a package not inclosed In
an envelope as the word envelope is gen.
orally used, cannot be considered to be a
letter in it's usual and ordinary FORM A
sealed package in the form of a roll Is.
therefore, not entitled to transmission In
the mails exchanged between the United
States and Canada; and your office was cor,
rect in declining to receive the sealed roll
mentioned" This would seem to settle the
matter as to what constitutes letter with

Two HypnOtists Meet.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
This thing of hypnotism and mind read

cigar, gives rise to some curious phenom-
ena. have dabbled in it myself, as an
amateur You have heard, perhaps, of men
being blindfolded and driving a team of
horses through a crowded street as easily
as If they had their eyes open?"
''oh. yes.' replied the passenger in the
smoking jacket. That's familiar expert
ment. The man who is blindfolded is able
by personal contact to read the mind and
see through the eyes of somebody sitting
by him. To one familiar with the science
there Is nothing remarkable about the
test"
No." rejoined the other Its a little
more difficult to explain, however, when the
same thing can be done by q man driving
alone, and without any contact with any
body else"
Have you seen that done?"
Il have performed it myself. On one oc-
casion l drove along through thronged
street for more than a mile with a bandage
tied over my eyes and sealed so securely

blind horses at the top of their speed dis

There was long pause.
How did You do it?" asked the other at

But both Indians were pouring in fu-
sillade of shot, and Williams aim was un-
steady in consequence. Again and again
he tried it, but it was not until his ninth

the Indians flank. The sage bush covered
his advance, but when he had crawled 800
yards, he raised himself steadily on one
arm only to find that the Indians, too. had
shifted their positions.
Look out, Williams" he cried. they're
creeping up on you"
AS he spoke gun flashed not fifty yards
his head. He caught brief glimpse of a
brown form, prone on the ground. and his
rifle spoke three times in rapid success
SION At the third shot the brown form
leaped high from the ground. clutched
wildly at the air, and then fell back, hud-
died mass.
Murphy waited several minutes, and then
stood erect, and waved his cap at his COM
rades on the eastern hills. He was per-
fectiy safe, because Williams and his an
tasonist were firing at each other as rapid
~ as tney cOulu load, but Inc WIND was SO
strong that none of their shots had taken
effect All at once the Indian jumped up
and made. dash for his enemy.
Now I've got you, said Williams,
reaching for fresh cartridge. But to his
horror his cartridge belt was empty!
'AH right, my man." said he. Perhaps
you are in the same boat"
With fierce cry he dashed toward the
advancing savage. On they ran, brandish-
ing their empty guns. Halfway they met.
and there was a mighty crash as gun shiv-
cred against gun. The next moment they
were locked in each others arms. swaylng

struggle that was death to the vanquished
They were we'll matched, and try as he
would. the soldier could gain no advantage
over his naked foe.
Twice he bent him backward in a mighty

and his breath came in grunts, but each
time the slippery brave slid from the sol
dier's grasp. Then the brown fingers closed
on the soldiers throat a vise-he felt
himself going-going-goins.W With one fran
tic, despairing push he broke the Indians
hold and sent him reeling backward. and
as the bulldog foe rushed at MIN again, the
soldier swung his great arm full length
with all his strength. and as he struck the
painted head the Indian fell in the sand
never to rise again. The fight was over.
and Williams stepped outside Of the cloud
| of dust that had obscured him from the
silent watchers on the eastern hills and
waved his hand to them as sign that all
was well.
For the next month the wind increased
its whistling, and the SUMS heat went a
notch higher each successive day. But the
soldiers sweltered in the heat and never
put their fingers to their ears to shut out
the wh!stling. For in that case they would

the weather. The death rate has been
especially heavy among the aged. The
keen winds have increased distress in
the dwellings of the poorest families

and must remain idle until the weather
shall moderate. The majority of those
men are carpenters, plasterers and
stone maSons.
