How a Horse Sleeps.

Horses always point one ear forward
when they sleep. Exactly why this
is done no human being can tell, but
the probability Is that the practice IS
relic of the time when they were wild
and oblighed to be an their guard, even
when asleep. Cattle, on the other hand,
are apparently Indifferent as to the post
tion of their ears while while sleeping,
but no odds what position they are IN
both are always pointed alike.

Battieship Texas" shown 20 be an
Unsafe Vessel.

Washington. Nov. i3.-The inquiry
proceeding at the New York navy yard
behind closed doors into the circum-
stances under which the "Texas" sank
at her dock recently, 1t is reported here
has brought to light further startling
structural weakness in the ship. 1t was
noted here with surprise that telegraphic
reports of the sinking of the Texas"
showed one engine-room filled through
water-tight doors closing it off from the
adjoining engine-room. This led to an
investigation. 1t has been found the
buikheads separating the ship into sup
posedly water-tight compartments are so
light they spring under pressure of
water and cause great leaks. Although
he magazine is separated from the
engine rooms by continuous bulkheads
without door openings, it was soon
illed with water. which an around the |
'dges and through the seams of metal. |
A naval expert is authority for the
tatement that If the "Texas's" sea
alive had broken out at sea, the vessel
would surely have foundred, owing TO
allure of bulkheads and doors.
