tn. N..po,,,an and Hi. Horse.

The Italians are not remarkable for
kindness to animals, but rather the re-
verse. They have, however, story OF
Neapolitan driver notorious for his i'll
treatment of his horse. After death the
man presented himself at the gate OF
paradise, but was refused admittance.
He was recommended, however. to ap-
ply at the neighboring paradise OF AMI
mails, II naply he might find favor
there. The driver did SO, and, 10, the
door was opened to him by the very
same poor. starved, wornout old hack
ON which he had been wont to shower
his blows and curses, now transformed
into celestial steed of wondrous beau
ty. But, alas, the horse had not yet
learned forgiveness, and here, too. the
driver met with rejection. Westmin.

by calculating how much energy, water

lected thrnnghout its mass 20 a force
equivalent 20 terrestrial gravitation.
This is gratuitous superstition, for in
spite Of its enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing.
Starting with the fact that the earth's
mass is about G. 100 mathematician
million tons, our statistician calculates
that we should require 20, 600. 900. 900
years for 10. 900 horsepower en-
gine to move our globe foot. The
boiler that should feed this engine
would vaporize quantity Of water that
would cover the whole face OF the globe
with a layer 500 feet deep. The vapori-
zation Of this water would require 4. 900
million million tons Of coal. This coal
carried in cars holding ten tons each
and having total length of so feet.
would require 400 million million cars.
which would reach so, 900, 900 times
around the earth. This train. moving
at the rate of 40 miles an hour. would
take more than 1900. 900 years TO tray
erse its own length. IL would require
for storage a shed that would cover
1000 times the area Of Europe.
II we realize that this Enthusiastically

Their ability to scent men is particu-
larly marked. The only thing to do
when they get after you il to run away
from them as fast as horse can carry
you, and then there is no certainty that
they won't catch you. They are nearly
as swift as horse, and their endurance
is as great as their yiciousness.
A friend Of mine encountered drove
Of them in q wild part of Mexico few
years ago, and his escape was almost
miraculous. He very foolishly shot and
wounded number Of them. Then he
took refuge in tree.
The peccaries kept him in the tree all
that day and through the night. They
circled round the tree, grunting and
squealing their delight at the prospect
of feast. He soon exhausted his am
munition and brought down q peccary
at each fire, but this had no terrors fol
the beasts.
Toward morning they began to eat
those he had killed, after which they
formed in line and trotted of. II they
had not had some Of their own number
