There are over : 900 horses in use in

CAVALRY HORSES.
Type of Animals Required In the United

The cavalry service needs new horses
every year, and prices varying from
1925 to $3.50 are paid for these. A few
years ago these prices We're considered
so low that the offers of fine horses we're
not very numerous. Good horses brought
double these sums in those palmy DAYS

the strains Of both the thoroughbred and

through many years of careful breeding.
The cavalry horses when first pur-

Der is burned into the hoof of one of
their feet. The same number is record
ed in a book kept for this purpose with
a full description of the animals ap-

performed, the animal is regularly es-

service, and the next step is to pick out
a master for him. His future owner

BAI1TLEOF THE YALU.
IT WAS THE SECOND GREAT BATTLE
BETWEEN ARMORED SHIPS.

| Japanese Skill in tho Combat With the
| Chinamen--Chinese Ships Fired Unload
| ed Shells-They Were Filled with Cement
Great Danger From Fires.
The battle of the Yalu was the Sec
ond great action which the world has
witnessed between modern ironclads.
The first was at LISA, far back in 1866,
when armored vessels were but in their
infancy. During the thirty years which
elapsed between this battle and the
Yalu wonderful progress had been
made in the construction Of fighting
vessels; guns were heavier, armor was
thicker and speed was greater. Yet the
advance had been achieved entirely on
theoretical grounds, naval constructors
were working in the dark, and no one
knew exactly how these complicated
floating masses of machinery would be-
have in real battle.
And here was little Japanese, mod
est and unpretentous, who had helped,
at the risk of his life, to give the world
some of the experiences it stood so
greatly in need of. 81 was not fright

English into more convenient mode

a confusion l did not know where

81 was in the band on board the Ma
tushima, the ship that was in the thick
of all the fighting, but we did not get
much chance to play music during the
battle. 1t was in the morning, just
about dinner time, that we sighted the
Chinese, and we were at it all the rest
of the afternoon. I could not see much
for the smoke, but our ship shook all
the time as the guns were fired, and
then big shell burst into the battery.
throwing one Of the guns over, and
killing the whole guns crew.
Every soon We were all of us at the
guns, firing away whenever we could
see the white sides OF Chinese vessel
through the smoke. Down in the bat
terry we could not tell what was going
on; we did not even know when our
shots hit. But we knew when one OF
the Chinese shells struck us, for If 1t
exploded the conclusion would almost
knock you down. and when the fumes
cleared away you would see bits Of hui
man bodies scattered all over the
place.
Luckily for us, lot of the Chinese
shells were not loaded. We found one
afterward filled with cement, instead OF
powder. But the fires were awful. 1t
seemed as if they broke out wherever
there was any woodwork to burn. And

The fire got so strong that the bulk

magazine grew red hot, the flames
leaped through the crevices, and we
had to stuff our clothes into the cracks
to r"eFent the magazine catcbing."
