/ brought together at the Pan-American
Exposition the visitor will have an
opportunity seldom equaled to make a
particular study Of this line of breed
4 ing.
Superintendent Converse is In cor
respOndence with the entire 2S Ma
tional Associations whose members are
engaged in sheep breeding and wool
growing. He reports that every asso-
citation, without exception. is much in
terested Ia the Pan-Ameriean EXPOSE
ton and that il will contribute ex-
hibits TO the show which will take
place in September.
A strong feature of the sheep ex-
hibit will be in the middle wool class.
In which mutton is the first considera-
ton and wool secondary. This class
includes Shropshires. Oxfords, South
downs and like breeds. The exhibits
of these breeds will be exceptionally
large. The classification of sheep in
cludes some ii breeds. Some OF them
are new to America, such as Tunis,
Suffolks and the Highland Black Face.
These new breeds will be particularly
interesting on account of their novelty.
The Highland Black Face Is a well
known breed in Scotland. but in Amer
lea there are comparatively few fiocks.
Wool growing is carried on in nearly
every part of the United States. the
business being particularly adapted to
rough and mountainous districts where
the steep hillsides and mountain pas
lures can be utilized. The exhibit OF
sheep win therefore come from nearly
every state in the Union and win In
clude about 1000 Of the finest bred an
imals. The exhibits of imported sheep
will be made only by American breed
ers, the rules requiring that the stock
shall have been in the possession of ex-
hibitors at least 60 days before the date
81 the sRtTy.
The display OF swine to be made in
the latter part of September viii in
clude representatives Of u breeds.
Among these will be the new breeds
known as Suffolks, Yictorlas and Tam
wOrths. The Tamworth stock is bred
to some extent in Canada. but Is prac-
tically unknown In the United States.
While swine growing on an extensive
scale has been confined largely TO the
corn belt It is becoming a profitable
industry among dairymen. II is par
ticularly so In connection with cheese
the byproducts furnishing an
economic and suitable food for swine.
A special exhibit will be made of
breeds adapted for the production of
bacon. The secret OF "fattening hogs
lean" Is the one that swine growers are
striving TO learn, and this exhibit will
be judged with special reference TO
their bacon producing qualities. IL Is
expected that not less than 1900 ami
mails will be shown in the exhibit OF
swine. MARK BENNITT.

Ing is replacing the common stock
with horses of higher intelligence and
efficiency. The experience of many
breeders during the introduction OF the
trolley car and the flooding of the mar
ket with cheap horses was discourag-
ing, and a large number turned their
attention to other lines of work.
The situation, however. is considera.
bly, improved, and prices are again
more nearly what they should be. The
interest in breeding is regulated by the
pecuniary reward, and the improved
demand lends new attractiyeness to
the breeding and training OF horses.

what particular crosses are advan-
tageous in producing such animals.

Another feature win be an exhibit
OF horses adapted for cavalry purposes.
The extraordinary demand for cavalry
horses within the last few years has

the wisdom OF producing a type OF
animals having the qualities that the
cavalry service requires. Not only has
the demand been very large for the
United States army. but foreign buy

markets and purchased many animals

ALASKAN EARTHQUAKES
A Larger Extent of Coast Line Affect-
ed Than Ever Before Reported
In That Region.

The seven earthquakes that shook the
coasts of Alaska on September , and
10 were unequaled in the historic Pc
riod in that region for the extent OF
coast line affected. Reports OF the
shocks have been received from various
points between Juneau and the Aleu-.
ton chain, a distance Of over 600 miles.
IL is well known that the effects OF
earthquakes originating on the coasts
are often felt in the far interior Of
continents, and il is not at all unlikely
that these shocks extended hundreds
Of miles inland. In a region ike Alas
ka, where large areas are uninhabited.
severe earthquakes may sometimes oc-
cur without the facts ever becoming
known.
II Is said that a number Of islands
along the coast near Yakutat bay, In
the neighborhood of Mount st. Elias,
have become submerged or have settled
in the water, and that the ad joining
coast line has perceptibly sunk. while
little distance out at sea the ocean bed
appears TO have risen. While these re-
ports need confirmation, Il may be said
that IL is not uncommon for consider
able areas Of the crust of the earth TO
sink as the result Of an earthquake.

one example that may be cited from
our own history Is the New Madrid
earthquake Of iSsl. when the subter.
ranean disturbances resulted In the
subsistence Of about 5000 square miles
OF alluyial lands along the Mississippi
river in what is now southeastern Mis-
souri, and northeastern Arkansas. The
subsistence wac about ten feet and the
river poured into some OF the depres-
sions, forming a series OF lakes.
A few hundred miles north Of the re-
gion where this sudden subsistence and
elevation Is said TO have occurred in

A FINE HORSE SHOW.
PLANNED TO PLEASE THE VISITORS TO
THE PAN-AMERlcAN EXPOSITION

A Field Day For the FashionabIes
Exhibits of Horses of All Breeds.
The Interest of Leading Breeders
and Associations Enlisted.
A Horse Show Of the fashionable
kind, with all the embellishments that
society can bestow upon 1t, win be one
of the features of the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo next year.
1t is planned upon the lines obsery'
ed in those well known society events
of like nature held annually in Mad.
ison Square Garden, New York city.
Metropolitan society is regularly
thrown into a fiutter of excitement as
the time approaches each season for
these picturesque events, and the
great Garden takes on a festive air
that is not rivaled again throughout
the year.
Society then shines respondent.
Popular conversation is upon the COM
parative merits of favorite animals.
The decorations of the person and OF
the building and the attire OF devotees
suggest the horse. The newspapers
talk horse and the whole metropolis
pays homage TO the high bred animals
whose proud pedlgrees become as IA
miliar as the biographies of statesmen
at election time.
1t is expected to make the great
horse show TO be held in the fall of
next year at this Exposition quite as
spectacular and interesting as those
held in New York. on this occasion
the finest bred animals of the Ameri-
cas- viii be brought together to COM
pete for hOnors and the favor of the
public.
The show win be held in the
Stadium, which is to be the great
show place of the Exposition. having
seats for more than 10000 aud a track
a quarter Of a mile in circumference.
While a general display Of horses
will be made at this show, OF particular
interest will be the animals adapted to
the, uses of fashionable society, such as
saddle horses and ponies, tandem driv-
ers, hunters. Jumpers. polo ponies. cou-
pc and coach horses, four-in-hands,
trotters and runners. The show will
include many costly equipages and
novel turnouts that arc used with the
finely bred animals that will be
brought forward to delight the public
eye.
Superintendent +. A. Converse Of the
Live Stock division has planned to ac-
commodate 1000 horses In the exhibit
of American bred animals. The breeds
that will be recognized are Standard
bred, Thoroughbred, French coach.
French erotters, Cleveland bay. Olden-
burg, etc, Belgian, Hackney, Morgan,
Arabs, Percheron. Clydesdale. English
shire, French draft, Suffolk, Punch,
Shetland ponies, Jacks and Jennets.
This will be the occasion for bringing
together the finest animals bred on the
western continent. While the trolley
car and the automobile have relieved
the horse of much Of bis drudgery, he
continues TO occupy a distinctive field
of work In the general economy. The
tendency of the times. too, is to pro- /
duce better animals.
The cheap car horse has TO a large 1
extent gone out, and scientific breed.

Not few of the older hunter. would
profit by accepting this advice. The
veteran quoted above says he got this
idea from his father, who loved his
guns and dogs almost as well as he
loved his children. The old man gave
his boy single barrel muzzle-loader,
which was for many a day the young
ster's treasure Of treasures, and was
never allowed to get rusty. Before be

barrel were rejoined and the weapon
was put away for the night. The

Time and All Else Below,

"Old Glory" Must Go to the Top Every
Time and All Else Below.
1t isn't everybody who knows how
to throw the American colors to the
breezes, says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Record. Flag raising are every
day occurrences. but there are few peo-
pie among those in charge, be they
ever 80 patriotic, who are cognizant Of
the fact that Old Glory tops everything
in the American possessions. and must
never 60 below under any circum-
stances. At many Of the nag raisings
there are pennants unfolded on the
same poles. and generally the mistake
Of placing the pennant at the top, over
the flag. Is made. This is very irrita-
taing to the regular navy men, who re-
gard such an act In their ranks a. de-
serving Of dismissal. A number Of the
officers stationed at League Island
navy yard have time and again had the
flag given its proper place on poles in
various parts Of the city, especially
over schoolhouses downtown. On Dec
grafton day there was q nag raising
over the Matthew W. Baldwin School
18th and Porter streets. and the pen,
nant which contained the school
name. was placed at the top OF the
pole. Word came from League Island
that the country's colors should be put
at the top. and the error was immedi-
ately corrected. Recently the same
mistake was made at National Park,
on the Delaware River. The irritating
sight was seen from League Island,
and a messenger was dispatched In q
boat to have the positions Of the flas
and pennant reversed.
