An Intelligent Horse.
. Parsons (kan.) Eclipse.


On Sunday a mover in prairie schooner
passed through this city, going west. He
had a small drove of mules and several
horses, all loose. following the wagon, and
among them was a beautiful sorrel horse
with bride and saddle on, but no rider.
People on the streets noticed that the sor-
rel seemed to be overseeing the herd, and
would round them up occasionally. AS the
caravan reached Central avenue, the sor-
rel ran ahead and stood in the middle Of
the street, looking up and down, II
watching for danger. After satisfying him.
self that the way was clear he rounded up
the herd and the caravan started again.
Having reached the Katy" crossing the
animal again went ahead and. standing in
the center of the tracks, looked intently
each way. When the herd had partially
crossed the track he suddenly pricked up
his o0rs and hurrying 10 the lear. he rush

coming from the south and passed shortly
after he had got safely over. He hurried

train coming from the opposite direc-

1t passed. 1t was most remarkable per

barren Australian Plains Suddenly
Transformed.

Transformed.
From the Pail Mall Gazettex
The whole of the interior of Australia is
not, as some people appear to think a
desert. 1t is traversed by river courses,
such as those of the Fipke, Barcoe and
Warburton, al draining southwark tow ard
Lake Eyre.
Nothing could be more striking than the
contrast between the dry and the wet sea-
son, states Prof. Baldwin Spencer. who
visited central Australia on scientific mis-
sion last year.
In the former, one travels mile after mile
over bare, stony plains, with scarcely a
sign of plant or animal life. The sun beats
down holly on shining fields of brown and
purple stones, crossed every now and then
by thin bands of dredry-looking mulga
trees.
Such plants as there are are compare
lively Few and far apart. As to the ami
mails, they have to survive as best they
can; ants, flies and graSShopperS exist in
countless numbers, and afford food to liz
ards, and perhaps smaller marsupial rats
and mice
In the rainy season, which may only oc-
cur once in eighteen months. everything is
changed. From the highlands in the CEN
ter and from every range of hills the wa
ter PUSHES down in torrents. Vast areas
previously impossible by reason of drouth,
now become impassabl from flood. Within
Il few hours the whole scene is changed
The water has loosened the hard ground
and countless animals have appeared.
Clay pans and water holes are noisy with
the croaking of frogs; crustaceans hatch
out with wonderful rapdity from eggs
which have lain on the dry ground for it
may be, many months; small mollusks Du-
ried In clay are released and every inhab-
liant of land and water sets to work to
make the best of it's short life.
The ground within a day or two is green
with the leaves of countless seedlings,
which grow rapidly; birds appear as if by
magic. and the once dry and silent country
Is now bright with flowers and foliage and
animals, all decked out in their liveliest
colors.
After perhaps few days the rains cease
ard the waters quickly become confined to
the river channels. securing out holes here
and there, whereha small supply will re-
main for a time after the shallower parts
have all dried up.
AS the water disappears everything re-
turns to its arid state. and 1t is only those
animals and plants that have succeeded in
reaching sufficiently far advanced stage
OF growth that have any chance Of surviv-
ing. The weddings among the plants are
quickly killed off

and the work was finished in 1894 The in
