A PREHISTORIC HORSE.
Fossil Remains That Are Found in the
 Rockies.

Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, of the American Museum of Natural History, in the Century describes the remarka- ble 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 16 inches, high, so 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- ows 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.

 Sentiment is thing of the heart, an instinct rather than judgment. The French nurse it by that which excites the affections and imagination. Dur ing one of the wars between France and England a French officer blew up his ship to prevent it's being taken. He and the crew all perished.
 The French government recognized the officers heroism by entering the name of his sister, his only surviving relative, in the place in the navy list which his name had occupied, and here it remained till her death, says Youths Companion.

ELECTRICITY FROM GOAL.
A Process Which May Eevolationize
 Methods of Generating Power.

4 Process Which May Eevolationize
 Methods of Generating Power.
 "When we remember" said a we'll known citizen to Washington Star re- porter, "that the finest triple-expansion engine on one of the great ocean liners only obtains about IA per cent. of theo- retical efficiency in burning her coal, and that our ordinary steam engine does not get over six or seven per cent. therefrom, we cannot overestimate the recent discovery of process for gen. erating the electric current direct from coal, or coke, and from the process, it is claimed by it's inventor, ST per cent. of the theoretical efficiency of the coal used has been obtained. Further, it is claimed that the cost will be from one fifth to one-tenth of the present ex pense. The process seems simple enough, for we take quantity of coke, reduce it to powder, and make it into big, round sticks of carbon, that then look good dead like giant firecrackers, or the sticks of carbon for an electric arc light, though very much enlarged. This stick carbon is suspended in cyl indrical iron pot, containing an electro lyte of melted caustic soda. And when a current of air, introduced by small tube, is driven through this solu- ton, electrical action is set up, pro- ducing current of extraordinary vol ume.
 'Fo gain the necessary voltage, or electric pressure, 100 or more of these iron pots may be put together and their rims connected by wire. The whole plant, or, it may be called battery, must be inclosed in an oven, to keep the solution up to uniform temperature of about 400 degrees Centigrade.
 "A pump to drive the air through the solution is all the machinery that is re- quired. No boilers, no engine, no dynamo, TO ashes, no water, no endless quantity of supplies are needed.
 "The annual expenditure for steam power in the United States is estimated at about $45O, ,0o0-an equivalent, it is said, of all the annual cost of our gen. eral government, including all improve ments and expenditures on public works. The new process will reduce this expenditure for power to less than $100,o00,0oO. Then, again, there are over S1, 0,000,0CO invested in steam en- zines alone in the United States; the first cost of the new process would be one-fourth of their present value, and thereafter they can be run for one-fifth of their present expense. So, it is claimed by the inventor, that upward of three-fourths of billion of dollars will be saved in the first cost alone.
 "The expense of maintenance, or, rather, of attending the process, it is as- serted, will To very small The carbon cylinder will last 15o hours, or even more; the inclos;ng oven has a self feeding attachment, and the attention required will be TO more than an ordi- nary small steam-heating house ar rangement."

A POPULAR FALLACY.-
Fall in Temperature of Ocean Does Not
 Indicate Presence of Ice.

Fall In Temperature of Ocean Does Not
 Indicate Presence of Ice.
 For many years an opinion existed among seamen and others that fall in the sea-surface temperature implied nearness of ice. Nothing, says the Nautical Magazine, can be more remote from the truth, though shore folk still rerpetuate this fiction in books and newspapers. A sudden fall in sea- surface temperature is likely near the Agulhas, the Japanese current, the gulf stream, while running the Fasting down in the South Indian ocean, in the South Atlantic about 40 degrees south. 40 de- grees west, and elsewhere; and this, whether icebergs be near or hundreds of miles away. Capt. S. T. S. Lecky, R. N. R., to whom the nautical profession is indebted for his "WrinEles in Prac- teal Navigation" was probably the first to draw the attention of his breth- ren to this fact. In the ninth edition of his book he points out that "allied to fog is the question of danger from ice. It is popular delusion among passen- gers on board ship that, by taking the temperature of the water at short in- tervals, the approach to ice is unfailing- ly indicated. Unfortunately such is by no means the fact, and it is time the idea was exploded. More than ordinarily cold water merely shows that the ship is in part of the ocean where ice may possibly be encountered, and not that it is actually present." Shipmasters of repute freely confess, with Capt. Evans, of the Tainui, that they have never found sea temperature fall lower when near ice than when several miles away" from the danger.
