THE BOYCOTT DECLARED OFF
The Union Pacific and Rio Grande
Western Have Settled Their
Difficulties.
Everything Now Points to the Successful
Operation of the General
Agreement.

From the tenor of telegram received
yesterday by General Passenger Agent
Goodman of the Southern Pacific from w.
D. Caldwell who is engaged in the work of
getting the various lines of railway in har
mony on the rate question, it would ap-
pear that there is now every indication to
believe that his efforts will meet with sue
cess.
The Union Pacific and the Rio Grande
Western have settled their differences, and
the boycott which both roads have had in
effect for some time past is now at an end.
While the Rio Grande Western has not
yet consented to become a party to the
general agreement it is. hoped that the
managers will fall into line before long.
Caldwell telegraphs that arrangements
had been made to issue Joint circular to
trans Missouri lines, which has the effect
of a resumption of the interchange round
trip excursion business interrupted by the
| boycott The Union Pacific, he said, has
become party to the general agreement
| by the signature of Mr.. Lomax, for the re-
ceivers. The Rio Grande Western has not
yet signitied its willingness to join the
agreement.
The understanding has, however, been
reached between the Union Pacific and the
! Rio Grande Western, Caldwell said, pro-
viding for a continuous passage feature on
the present closely limited first and second
class tickets and for a discontinuance of all
side trips by the Union Pacific in this ter
ritory, except that the company will con-
| tinue TO give side trips to Ogden and to
Salt Lake on round-trip Pacific Coast
business and first-class thirty day tickets
which are good to stop over at Salt Lake
via the Rio Grande Western. The pre-
| liminary work of organization of the trans
Missouri committee was also accomplished

INTELLIGENCE OF HORSES.
1t Is Not Due to the Weight or to the
Size of the Brain.


At meeting of the Philadelphia Veter-
mary Medical Association in the clinical
lecture-room at the Veterinary School of
the University of Pennsylvania recently DIR.
S. J. ]. Harger, professor of anatomy, read
paper on 1.-The Conformation of the Head
and the Intelligence of the Horse" DR..
Harger gave the approved methods of
measuring the head of the horse and of
determining the size of the brain cavity.
He said the size of the brain cavity was
naturally dependent upon the size of the
animal, being largest in the drafthorse
and smallest in the Corsican pony.
The weight of the brain of the horse, Dr.
Harger said, differed in different breeds,
but the weight of the brain is not depend
ent on the size of the animal, as the
massive horses do not have brains in pro-
portion to their size. A dog, for instance,
in proportion to its size than horse. The
heaviest brain of a horse weighed 271%
OUNCES.
The intelligence of a horse is not due to
the weight of the brain or to the size of
the bIain cavity, but to difference in the
cere bal lobes.' The facial angle of a horse
is of 70 value in distinguishing races as it
is mig human beings. The professor
cOncmoed, therefore, that although certain
peopludclaim to be able to recognize an
intelligent animal by the head there are
no definite signs, anatomically speaking.
After the lecture an interesting exhibit
ton of the intelligence of the horse was
given. A remarkably well-trained pony
performed numerous interesting feats, such
as telling the day of the month, doing
sums in multiplication and subtraction and
telling the time of day, expressing the
answers by so many stamps of the hoof on
the floor The pony also performed some
feats of "mind reading" being able to tell
the numbers thought of by several of the
spectators. The answers were invariably

WIZ DOES LIGHTNING
~ KILL BIRDS? = A
well-known electrician, S. A. Marley, has
expressed his opinion that lightning dis
charge may occasionally kill birds flying
in the air, but simply from their being
accidentally in the line of the path of dis
charge or in close vicinity to that path
The bursting of air molecules forming the
conductive path of a lightning discharge
develops intense heat, and the air mole
cules in the immediate neighborhood be-
come expanded violently and possibly also
electrically repealed. If a flying bird were
in the vicinity at the time he would be
probably carried along with the expanded
air, and it is conceivable that if very close
to the line Of discharge the bird might be
killed by the conclusion.
. ELECTRIC LIGHT SIGNs.-During the last
Christmas season in Boston one of the dry
goods firms ornamental its store so cleverly
with electric signs and Examinations that
the whole city rushed to see and buy.
Early each day it was found necessary to
close the doors for awhile and clerks
enough could not be hired The sign of
Gillettes' "Too Much Johnson" now play
ing in New York, is composed of letters at
the top of the theater's front, each letter
being eight feet high and built of mean
descent lamps. The effect is in many WAYS
immense. AT the recent national bicycle
show in the same city a special feature of
the exhibition was the electrical sign. con-
structed by the gardens electrical expert
This was los feet in length by thirty-five
feet in width and contained 1892 lamps of
combined %, 147 candle-power. The BIZ
cycle was twenty feet in length by thirteen
feet in height, with wheels having diam
eter of eight feet. The diameter of the tires
was seven inches the large gear twenty-four
inches and the small ones eight inches
Colored lamps were artistically arranged
for the different parts, and as the wheels
reyolved the effect was very striking. In
the word "show" there were % lamps in
the first letter, los in the second 90 in the
third and 132 in the fourth. In the bicycle
itself there were Col lamps, ana in the
other letters in the sign 1851. making a
total of 1892 lamps, as before stated. This
sign in itself required two motors of
2 horsepower each to flash it, If equally
distributed the lights in the sign would
Illuminate an area of Sc, 900 square feet
The background was of gold bronze, and
the whole effect reminded one strongly OF
5he artistic and elaborate results achieved
at the Worlds Fair.
