mailing on Horse., Hoofs.

There is a weII-known Detroit physi-
clan who has been looking Tor years
forsome plan to prevent snow "bainng'
on the hoofs Of his horses. Recently ne
discovered what he has been looking
for. For years he has tried every sort
of device that he could conceive OF OF
that had been brought to his attention
by other people, but the snow was al
ways "balling" up In the hoofs, just the
same, much to the danger of the horse
and his own discontinue. The other
day he was coming down WOODWARD
avenue and the same old trouble was
wearing on his patience. Getting out
of his buggy, he went into a drug store
and, asking for some drug he wanted.
incidentally remarked that he would
like something, too, that would prevent
snow 'balling" up on his horse.
Well" said the druggist, Il should
think you ought to know how to stop
that" Giving the doctor two ounces OF
glycerin, he told him to divide 1t evenly
on the four hoofs OF his horse. The
physician took the prescription and ap-
piled it as told. He drove on downtown
and, getting out, looked at the horse
to find that there was no snow what
ever on any roof. 1t seemed a complete
cure. Oh and lard have often beer
tried, but opposed by veterinarians on
the ground that they keep the moisture
away from the hoof. thereby doing II
injury. This fails OF application to ely.
cerin, for It will mix with water. II
will not injure the hoof. and, 1t seems
will keep the hoof free from SNOW

TRAINS RUN UPWARD
The Straight Up and Down Rams OF
Certain City k~xpresaea,

the Straight Up and Down Rams Of
Certain City Expresses.
"All aboard-seventh floor first stop"
This cry greeted a reporter yesterday
as he stepped into a downtown office
building and faced a half dozen eleva-
tors. lie wished to go to the ninth
floor. lie stepped into an elevator over
which was the sign: "Express-frst
stop, seventh floor"
In 1t there were three men and a mid
dle-aged woman. The starter said "All
right" and the elevator man grasped
the throttle of the express" 1t was
the usual cable rope, and as the man
pulled 1t began Its journey upward.
The lone woman passenger gave vent
to a sigh "ohT and held her breath.
Floor after floor was passed Mt q
speed Of about eight miles an hour.
When the sixth floor was reached the
woman wanted to get off, but was in
formed that she was on an express.
and 1t was against the rules to stop an
express until its destination was reach
ed. The elevator arrived at the seventh
floor on time. 1t took exactly eight
seconds to make the upward journey of
eighty-fiye feet. The elevator man
then announced that the next stop
would be the top floor, 100 feet above.
The top floor, according to the direc-
tory, was the fourteenth, and the eleva-
tor few upward once more, arriving
near the roof a few seconds later.
1--WE a make a round trip In forty
ave seconds, including short stops"
said the engineer of the express, 'fbut
we have made 1t In about forty with
out stops. There are two express ele-
vators and four regulars, that We call
way trains. They stop at every floor
and for everybody who shouts. Often
l get passengers who want to get out
at the sixth or tenth floors. They get
mad, too, when they are told they must
go up and take another elevator down.
