FROM recent reports of the agricul-
tural department at Washington the
fact is developed that the number Of
horses in this country has declined
since 1898 from 16, 2O6,s to Is, 124, l57
and that the value of these horses has
declined much more than their number
In 1893 they averaged S61 head, in
1896 but $42. OF course it is n matter of
common information that the introduce
tion of electric street cars and of the
bicycle is largely responsible for this
decrease in price and the consequent
decrease in numbers.

The town of Wenatchee, Wash, is to
be moved two miles from it's present
location to point on the bank of a
river. 1t is pretty fair sized town,
too. All the buildings will be moved in
the usual way to the new location.
There is not an adequate supply of
water where the town now stands, and
in addition the citizens are incensed at
the avarice of the owners of the pres
ent town site who have fixed the price
OF property at very high figure.

RECENT archaeological discoveries
along the valley of the Tennessee river
in northern Alabama have led to the
belief that the region was once inhab-
tied by cliff dwellers, and an expedi-
tion from the University of Pennsyl-

that region. Prof. Mercer will head
the expedition, and it is believed that
valuable discoveries will be made.
Many specimens of ancient pottery be-
lieved to have belonged to the cliff
dwellers have recently been found in
the caves along the Tennessee.

THERE is an old clock owned by Mrs.
w. M. Hall, of Covington, Tenn, that
is considerable of a curiosity. 1t was
owned by DIR. James Holmes, Mrs.
Halls father, who inherited it from
his father. Mrs. Hall knows that the
clock is at least two hundred years old,
and it has been in her family fully one
hundred and fifty years. The case was
made in Birmingham, Eng, and the
works in Switzerland. Although
the clock has been running continually
for about two centuries, it is curious
fact that the machinery shows little, if
any, wear and keeps the very best Of

commonly applied to electric street rail-

most conspicuous difference between
an electric street car and horse car,
the former soon became popularly
known as trolley cars.
