A cARNIvoRous EQUINE.
A Horse That Prefers Meat to Amy

A Horse That Prefers Meat to Any
Other Kind of Diet.
The most extraordinary appetite
known in u horse belongs to Billy. n
handsome bay owned by A. Decour-
tieux & Son. the butchers of the Pacific
fruit market. says the San Francisco
Call.
Billy's duties nre to draw the firms
delivery wagon. and his stand is on
Merchant street, in front of the shop.
Here he is often on exhibition. eating
with an apparent relish steak, liver,
tripe, and, in short, almost any variety
of meat handed him. Sometimes, after
having had his fill of oats and hay, he
refuses to MUNICH meat, but this seldom
occurs.
Billy's appetite developed several
months ago.
The horse formerly varied his carnal
meals by purloining fish, but he was
cured in a manner that was ludicrous
to the spectators, but very painful for
the equine phenomenon.
He reached into a fish wagon one day
when his olfactories detected the odor
of his favorite smelt, but an active and
belligerent crab took offense at the in
trusion and promptly fastened to his
lower lip.
Billy shook his head frantically, and
whinnied in pain; but the crustacean
held on until he was crushed by being
banged against the side of the wagon.
Since then the horse has kept clear Of
fish.

Syndicate of French Capitalists Pro-

Feasible.

A sea tanned. harnessed, robbed of its
terrors, no longer the "trackless" sea,
but marked by shining steel from Sandy
Hook TO Fastnet Light-lighted, po-
Iced. patrolled. ambulanced until it is
as safe as Broadway, with men watch

to shelter disabled craft and telegraph
for help when needed-a 3,OOO-mile
street OF the sea, with all modern safe
guards. This is. in brief, what great
syndicate of French capitalists pro-
poses. And high engineering talent
has pronounced the proposition feast
BILE.
To make the Broadway of the sea is
the joint plan OF an italian named Car
vello and French1nannamedL Lemieux.
Public experiments have been made
by them ut the mouth of the River
Seine. near the ocean, which seem to
demonstrate that success is possible.
Sig. Carvello has invented a ship which
in this instance will serve n novel pur-
pose. It's framework consists entirely
of steel tubes covered with quarter
inch meshes, which are filled in. with
concrete, rubbed smooth to diminish
liquid friction.
AS the bird flies the distance between
Havre. France, and New York city is
5000 miles. A sailor in. the mast of one
vessel can see ut a distance of so miles
the masts of any vessel which may hap
pen to be at that distance. Bearing in
mind these facts. this enterprising syn
dicate proposes to construct from co

ve'lo and fitted with great searchlights
and station them so miles aparti in al al
most direct line across the Atlantic
But instead of moving about from place
to place each is to be supplied with
eight immense cables of woven steel
wire similar to those uponwhich hangs
the Brooklyn bridge. but smaller
Three of these cables will hang from
each side of the vessel and the other
two from front and rear. all at angles
OF As degrees with the ships sides. and
each will be fastened by immense an
chors to the nearest ocean bottom that
can be discovered by sounding. There
will thus be esta blEshed straight line
of stationary ships directly across the
ocean and at regular intervals of prob
ably so miles.

swellest club-houses are exposed to the view of passers by through the grated windows, which extend from floor to ceiling, entirely devoid of shades or screens. Passing along the principal streets, one is struck by the multiplici- ty and gaudiness of the drinking sa- looms, especially in the evening, when they are dazzling to behold, with their lights and glasses and colored liquors, their marble tables crowded with card players, each with a glass of his favor ite tipple at his elbow But one sel- dom sees a drunken man in Cuba. The natives drink often, but lightly; and the gin to which they are univer- sally addicted must be exceptionally pure, or else the climate renders 1t com- paratively non-intoxicating.
 The upper streets of the town are even narrower than those near the landing, and to reach the crest of the hill on whose slope the city is built, you must thread several blind alleys, lined by the houses of the poorer and dirtfer classes, where unclothed babies are held up to the window gratings and youngsters, precisely in the suits they were born, follow you begging for centavas. But when the hilltop is gained, near the long line of buildings which belong to the Beneficiencia hos pital, there lies before you such view as few are privileged to see twice in a lifetime. Beyond the far sloping roofs of sunburnt tiles, which stretch com pactly down to the waters edge, lies the bay. it's surface of heavenly blue encircled by emerald hills, all glorifled by tropical sunshine
 It Is difficult to say how the thirty eight thousand people of Santiago ever managed to make living (of course few of them pretend to now), for mo- body appears to be doing anything.
