One Of the greatest enemies OF the

LARGEST wolf that roams the American

Swimming . Horse.


It must not be supposed that q horse
always swims naturally and with ease
the moment that he is of his feet in the
water. The animal under such circum-
stances has but one notion-to keep his
head out Of the water and lift his shout
ders as high as possible. In doing this
his hind quarters sink and he finds him.
self almost standing on his tail or at
least Il position hree-quarters erect. In
such an attitude, If the rider draws up
the reins or throws his body back in the
least, the animals hind quarters will
sink more and more, his body will take
a vertical position, and, beating the
water uselessly with his fore feet, he
will finally sink. AS soon as the horse
gets off his feet in the water let the
rider grasp the animals name, leaning
at the same time we'll forward upon its
shoulders, but without touching its
head. The riders knees should be press
ed tightly to the horse sides; otherwise
he is likely to be swept of by the water.
This is the only position which will en-
able a man to remain in the saddle and
the horse to swim at the same time
The reins must be held loosely and each

THE LONDON MARKET.

London, Dec 26.-The stringency of the money market slightly increased last week. The Bank of England did a large business in bills at 8 per cent. and loans at 31s per cent. A rise in the bank rate is considered possible. The gold demand continues strong, but the prevailing discount rates are expected to prevent withdrawals from the con- tinent and the United States.
 On the stock exchange the market was poor and the tendency downward Consols were sold in order to obtain money. but there was little movement in other first class stocks. There was much selling in Chinese and Japanese bonds. The latter dropped 21s points while Chinese, 1896, fell 2 points; gold loan F points. Argentine securities fell off again 1a point.
 Home railways were lower on divi- dend estimates. American railway se- curities were steady, the only feature being a rise of 1A in Central Pacific. Canadian railways showed relapse on the poor traffic returns.

COST OF ARMoR.
Special Naval Board VIII Ask Congress
For $4,000, 600.


WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-The special
naval board appointed to examine into
the cost of armor making has designed
n plan. the details Of which IL VIII pre-
sent to congress. II will cost more
than $4,000. 900 and will have capacity
of 5000 tons of armor per annum, which
is about the combined capacity Of the
two armor plants now supplying the
navy.
The process OF manufacture will in
clude the very latest Developments in
the art of metallurgy, and while the
plans contemplate the manufacture OF
harveyized nickel steel armor accord
ing to the methods used in the reforged
process. they will admit Of easy adap-
tation to the new secret Krupp process
Of hardening armor by the use Of gas.
The plans are said to be perfect IN
every detail, and being drawn under
one of the leading experts of the coun-
try, the Specifications are said 10 be
so we'll defined that no difficulty Is eN-
pected TO arise in securing straight
bids.
The board has prepared the form OF
advertisement calling for bids for erect
ing this plant, as congress desired that
information, and Secretary Long VIII
at once issue the advertisement. II Is
the purpose to have all Of the plans IN
the secretary's hands by the first OF
next month, and If the advertisement
is promptly sent out, 1t is hoped that
within three months at the latest con-
gress viii have before it full informa-
ton as TO the cost OF an armor plant
as well as offers from existing plants
to sell out TO the government.
