A PREHISTORIC HORSE.
Esssn Re,Aains That Are Feund IN the
ROcki0a.

Fossil Renai.s That Are Feund 1. the
Rsekies.
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, Of the
American Museum Of Natural History,
in the Century describes the remarka-
BILE fossil remains that are found near
Bridgcr Lake, in the Rockies. He says:
If we leave the lake shore, and pass
into the drier upland, we discover the
clever little four-toed horse, swift, alert,
intelligent. He is, to use the modern
measure, only four hands, or 1e inches,
high, 50 he would not reach the knee of
the Uintathere, and could be devoured
at one sitting by the Patriofelis. His
limbs are as slender as pencils. His
large eyes are much farther forward
than in the horse. He could readily
hide among the taller stalks, and it is
possible that he had the beginning OF
protective stripes initiating reed shad-
Qws upon his neck and name. In his
hair aud coloring, however, we pass into
pure conjecture. His well-worn chisel-
shaped front teeth indicate that he was
already a cropper or browser, and the
evident secret of his triumphant per-
sistence over his ponderous contem.
poraries Is that he learned to browse
Just about the time that grasses began
to appear. He was the animal Of the
times.

he is known in history as "the great

minister in a little chapel called by his
name. near the west entrance. In de-

SUNSHINE AND HEALTH.
Tuberculosis Readily Develops In DsslE

Tuherculosis Readily Develops In Dsfks
nl.vsntilated Rooms.
A merchant noticed, in the progress
Of years. that each successive book
keeper gradually lost his health and
finally died Of consumption, however
vigorous and robust he was ON entering
his service. At length II occurred to
him that the little rear room where the
books wore kept opened in q back yard
10 surrounded by high walls that no
sunshine came into it from one years
end TO another. An upper room, we'll
lighted, was immediately prepared, and
his clerks had uniform good health ever
after. .0.
A familiar case to general readers 10
derived from medical works, where an
entire family became i'll, and all reme-
dies seemed to fail Of their usual results,
when accidentally window glass of the
family room was broken, in cold
weather. It was not repaired, and
forthwith there was marked improve
ment in the health Of the inmates. The
physician at once traced the connection,
discontinued his medicines, and or
dered that the window pane should not
be replaced.
A French lady became i'll. The most
eminent physicians of her time were
called in. but failed to restore her. AT
length Dupuytren, the Napoleon Of
physics, was consulted. He noticed
that she lived in dim room, into which
the sun never shone, the house being
situated in one Of the narrow streets,
or, rather, lanes of Paris. He at once
ordered more airy and cheerful apart
ments, and "all her complaints van.

It. The greatest medical names IN
France, of the last century, regarded
sunshine and pure air as equal agents IN
restoring and maintaining health.
From these facts, which cannot be
disputed. the most common mind
should conclude that cellars and rooms

FAI In Temperature Of Ocean Doss Net

For many years an opinion existed
among seamen and others that fall in

Nautical Magazine, can be more remote
from the truth, though shore folk still
perpetuate this fiction in books and
newspapers. A sudden fall in sea-

n. r., to whom the nautical profession
10 indebted for his Wrinkles in Prac-
IDEAL Navigation" was probably the
first to draw the attention OF his breth-
rem to this fact. In the ninth edition Of
his book he points out that "allied t1

WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
New YORK Boasts the Site Of an Old In
dian Village.

New York Boasts the Site of an Old In.
dian Village.
In seldom-frequented and isolated
spot within the limits of New York
city is the site of what was once an
Indian village of considerable size. Be-
tween Spuyten Duyvil creek, about
quarter Of mile south of the northern
end of Manhattan island, and the hills
that mark the bank of the Hudson there
is comparatively level eemi-circular
space Of 20 or 30 acres. Here stood the
Indian village. The hills were pro-
lection from the weather and at times
from enemies, and the strong tide which
runs swiftly in and out of Spuyten
Duyvil creek is treacherous and afford
ed protection against the approaches
of any but those we'll skilled in hand
ling boat. A mound was found here
some years ago that extended over
three acres, and it consisted largely Of
millions Of oyster shells, evidently the
debris of q village. Among these shells
have been found bits of rude broken
Indian pottery and arrow heads, and
in the caves Of the hills back of IL were
found excellent specimens Of Indian
pottery. In Bryant's history the story
of Henry Hudson's voyage in the Halt
Moon up the Hudson in 1909 is told,
and It states that, on his return down
the river. Hudson was attacked by
about 100 Indians who came out of
Spuyten Duyvil creek and were finally
beaten back. Presumably they came
from the village whose site is now
marked by the old mound.

PoLITICO.HISTORICAL.
A Curious Incident In German later
state Relations.

A Curious Incident In German Inter
state Relations.
A "Kleinstaaterei" has been abol-
ished in Germany, says the Westminster
Gazette. The little village of Kurnbach,
which has hitherto belonged partly to
the grand duchy of Hesse and partly to
the grand duchy of Baden, was recently
by treaty between the two powers, SOL
cmnly and forever incoi porated into
the grand ducal state of Baden. The
oldest thing about the Joint jurisdic-
ton under which the Kurnbachers have
hitherto lived was that the houses were
not allotted to Hesse or to Baden by
their position inside or outside any
frontier line betwixt the two states,
but by the date of their erection.
Houses built at one period belonged to
one nationality" houses built at an
other period belonged to the other. One
policeman was found sufhcient to keep
order for both states, and his uniform
vas, consequently, particolored, his
green coat showing that he was the
officer Of Baden, and it's blue facings
and trimmings bearing witness that he
officially represented the majesty Of
Hesse. Now that the blue has been
stripped of, and nothing but the Baden
green remains, Hessian newspaper
suggests that his old coat should be
presented to the German museum as q
relic.
