State Veterinarians Report.

The report OF the state veterinarian
OF Colorado asserts that the prices OF
horses In Colorado have in the last two
years advanced far beyond any antic-
ipated Increase and that this Increase
Is because OF the recent wars for
which so many horses were needed
The report Is signed by DR.. :. Book,
state veterinarian. and 10y Bradford II.
Dubois, president of the state sanitary
and veterinary board. 1t says:
War caused great increase In the
price of horses. The best type Of cav
airy horse. according to the opinion of
all leading countries, is to be found m
western America. and nowhere In the
world can he found better cavalry
horses than in Colorado"

has been II marked Increase In the
number Of cattle shipped into the state
during the last two years and an i'm

cattle and sheep. The work done by

the work done during the past two
years must be Judged by results and
by results only. These results follow.

MORE QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE METEOR

Denver, Colo. Dec. 1S.-1n reply to
his request FOR reports from all those
who saw the great meteor of December
1th. Dr. Howe has received quite u
number of letters. Most OF these con
tain data of value. and 1t Is To hc hoped
that Observers of the phenomenon
whether In this state or In adjoining
states. may be so kind as TO send In
reports. The meteor was seen ns far
south as Delta. and ms for north as Snr-
atogn, Wyoming. II must. therefore.
have been at n considerable height
above the carth's surface.
The doctor says that he will be very
much obliged not only for reports from
observers. but for clippings from news
papers making mention OF the spec
taclc. In one respect the Information
which has already come in is quite de,
iicicnt: people seem not to have noted
the time ut which they saw the meteor.
They say in general way that 1t was
between > and / o'clock In the after
noon. However this deficiency can
be rcmcdicd in the following way.
Most of the observers saw the disrlip,
ton OF the meteor. which occurred
just before It vanished. Some of them
say that IL threw OF sparks when near
the end of its path: others say that II
appeared TO split open. still Others
describe the process as II swelling ana
bursting.
If 1t be possible to find out in what
direction the meteor appeared to ne
from. each of two or more observers
situated in different places. at the IN
stant when disruption was first no
ticcd, Its height above the earth can
be found. In order to express the III
rcction of the meteor from the obs"FH
or nt the instant of its bursting, II iS
best TO give two angles. which we VIII
call its altitude and bearing.
Imagine that when the meteor burN'
one fragment fell vertically down
ward and struck earth ut II point wllI'h
we shall call y. The altitude of the me
tcor, at the instant of bursting, Is U''
angle between two lines drawn ir"l"
the Observers eye to y and to the lin"
tcor respectively: in other words Inv
altitude is the apparent angular "'s
tancc of the meteor above the horlH"n
The desired bearing is 1.-The hh&lr
which n line from the observers eye I"
y makes with north and south INV
For example. one observer may 81!
that the altitude Of the meteor III ','
