Turkish Baths for Horses.

The ordinary horse bath with the
sprinkGng hose or drive into some
convenient pond Is absolutely dis
counted in the French capital, where
Turkish bath establishment for
equines and dogs has been opened.
This includes all the luxuries of
shampoo and other Oriental trim
mings. The bath house is designed on
the same lines as that where men and
women go to bathe, but the rooms are
much larger. Three large rooms are
connected with each other by wide
doors. A horse TO be operated upon
is first taken to the back room. This
is divided into fair-sized stalls. The
horse is tied up to ring in the stall,
and the room is filed with steam to
100 degrees Fahrenheit. it.through steam
coil concealed in the wall of the room.
Usually half-hour expires before the
horse is in profuse Precipitation and
ready to be taken out although sick
horses are not allowed in the bath as
long as that.
The horse is then led to the middle
room, which is also divided into stalls.
In this room a temperature OF 165
Fahrenheit is kept up with hot air.
The flow of perspiration begun by the
steam is increased, and another fifteen
minutes are consumed before the
horse is ready for the shower bath,
which is given through an arrange
ment in the ceiling, two attendants
standing at each side of the horse.
They rub and scrspe off the perspira-
tion and water with smooth, flexible
scrapers of hard wood. After tho
shower, which lasts for fifteen min
utes, the. animal is given a gentle
shampoo with soft brushes. A drinl
is administered, and the horse is dried
with warm, dry cloths. st. Louis Re

Rnrlnp neen Holes.

The Prussian Government has, for
the purpose of examining geological
condition of ground, drilled a number
of bore holes through the coal fields
Of upper Silesia. The deepest hole SO
far drilled, which is probably also the
deepest in the world, has total depth
Of 651O feet. The work upon this
boring was completed in 800 days,
which gives an average OF little over
sixteen feet per day. The cost was
$4,000, or almost S3 per running
foot. During the last fifteen years
the Prussian Government has had
about 400 borings drilled in various
localities, for which altogether more
than SO, ,O00,0 was spent. The total
length OF these holes is 425, 900 feet,
the average cost being about 81 per
foot.
