We are indebted to the Buffalo Horse
World for a most interesting account
of how a horse in our civil war made
two prisoners. Sheridan was in the
Shenandoah valley, and. confronting
him, Gen. Jubal A. Early. with large
force of confederate cavalry. A mag
nificent horse was brought into the
union camp, and Maj. Oscar L. Teach
out, Of our cavalry, appropriated him.
In charge made few days later the
horse took the bits in his teeth and car
ried the major, in spite of all his eff
forts, a prisoner into the confederate
camp. Here the horse was appropriated
by a confederate colonel, and little
later, in another engagement. took the
bits in his teeth, as before, and brought
the colonel, in spite of all his efforts.
into Sheridan's camp. So the horse
made a union major and a confederate
colonel prisoners of war.-Our Dumb

WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING.

Seven scientific expeditions are ex-
ploring Central America.
A novelty is the cold storage of hops.
This is done in several places in Eng
land
The opinion that malaria is conveyed
to human beings by mosquitoes has
long been held by the SomaH of East
Africa, according to information given
in Wiekenburg's "Wanderungen in
Ostafrika."
The party of scientists who have been
investigating the Wyoming fossil beds
are having remarkable success, and a
large number of boxes containing fossil
remains have been sent to the state
university, and the work of restoration
will soon be begun under the direction
of Prof. Wilbur C. Knight.
Many cities in Europe are solving
the problem Of the destruction of iron
gas and water pipes by electrolysis by
substituting for them pipes made of
glass. AS glass is almost a perfect non
conductor of electricity, there is, of
course, no electrolysis. Further adj
vantages are the saving of electricity
and the absence of danger of shock
from wandering currents.

HUMoRS OF WAR.
tnEs in the Struggles between
North and south.

In the early stages of the war when
both armies were feeling each others
lines and trying to divine what move
ments each intended, a somewhat face
ious colonel of Philadelphia regiment
composed largely of Irishmen formed
part of the command of Gen. Stone,
then lying near Poolsvile, Nd. One
night the colonel was out somewhat
late making social calls, returning to
his camp without the countersign. As
he approached the camp he received
The usual challenge from the guard. At
the command to advance and give tho
countersign he rode up to the guard
and explained that he did not have
the countersign, but that of course the
guard knew him as his colonel.

guard stood at salute while the
colonel rode past. 1t was but few
minutes after the colonel reached his
quarters when the guard found him

house. A week had passed, during
which the accommodating guard had
done pennance for his lack of discipline,
when the colonel returned in the same
manner and found the same man on
guard. In response to the usual chal-
lenge the colonel rode up and suave-
" attempted TO establish his identity.
The response came quickly: ''Arrah,
shure, 1 knowed the coloDels white
harse vance, but, be CORA, 1 don't know
him any more" ut the same time assum-
ing the position of charge bayonet.
The colonel was compelled to ride
back to headquarters and get the coun-
tersign before he could enter his own
camp.
At the second battle of Bull Run some
confederates were captured by the
union army. They were resting in a
field under guard when some of the
union soldiers gathered around and en-
tered into conversation with them.
The most voluble of the union soldiers
argued on the policy of the confeder-
ates giving up the fight. you know"
he said, you'll be beaten in the end
and you had better give up now rather
than later"
Apparently the most intelligent of
the Johnnies, who was seated on the
grass hugging his knees, replied:
well. we may be beaten in the end,
but we intend to have our fun as long
as it lasts"
The second battle OF Bull Run, which
was a running fight, gave little OPP
portunity TO either side TO practice
much ceremony over the dead. Those
of the union army who fell within the
lines subsequently occupied by the con-
federates were simply covered up with
earth where they fell. When the union
army passed over the ground in their
advance later it was found that the

An electric brougham In Boston was
recently upset through the collapse

It Is reported that the New York
Central railway intends to establish an
electric cab service in New York and
other large cities along the line, and
the Pennsylvania railroad has been ex-
