HORSES IN WARFARE.
Equine Qu.drupeds Necessary at Il
Front

Equine Quadrupeds Necessary at the
Front
The horse Is not to become obso-
lete after all-that is. so long as there
are wars. Automobiles and electric
cars may drive him from town and
country, but the army is still left for
him. One thing that the present war
in South Africa has emphasized Is the
value of mobility in troops. And mo-
bility can only come through mounted
infantry, and mounted infantry needs
horses. Here, incidentally. lies a new
market for Canadian horses. and one
that may not be unworthy OF attention.
The last official report of Edwin M.
Stanton. secretary Of war in President
Lincoln's cabinet, gives some faint
conception of the enormous consump-
ton of horses and mules entailed by
active hostilities on large scale dur
ing such Titanic war as that between
the Northern and Southern states OF
the American Union, which lasted
from April. 1861, to May. 1865. The
report in question is dated Washing
ton, March 1. 1865, and contains the
following striking passage: "The sup
ply Of horses and mules to our armies
has long been at the rate of 500 per
day, which is also the average rate of
their destruction. The cavalry Of the
army of the Potomac was twice re-
mounted during the first eight months
of 1864. The resources OF supply In
this country were able to bear the i'm
mense drains upon its horses and
mules. and, Judging from current pri-
ces, the stock shows no symptoms OF
exhaustion or diminution. An army in
the field. we'll equipped with artillery.
cavalry and trains. requires one horse
or mule to every two men. The num-
ber of horses and mules in our armies
is nearly equal"
II the calculation of Mr.. Stanton, the
American secretary Of war In 1865. be
correct, 100000 British troops now en-
gagged in fighting the Beers would need
$4,000 horses and mules to keep them
going.-Philadelphia Times.

EXPEDITIONS TO ALASKA.

theological surveys OF Caps Nome ana

During the coming season the geOlog.
ical survey will have three parties In
Alaska. One has already sailed, the
second will leave In few days and be
followed shortly by the third. Congress
at this session has appropriated 1885,
100 for explorations In Alaska, which
brings the funds now available for that
work to $38. 900. sufficient to complete
the task contemplated.
The principal survey will he made In
the Cape Nome district. Alfred Brooks
will be in charge with two geologtst
assistants. His investigation will COW

Reliable reports from officers OF the
geological survey and the military sur

from private sources. indicate the ex-
istence OF an important copper district

ed the "Chettyna." 1t is south OF the
Wrangel Alps and on the headquarters
OF the Cooper and Nebesna rivers
north Of that range. Previous explora-
tions have accomplished nil desirable
reconnaissance work in that region, and

1T seems to me-" said smoker.
that there is a fortune In the tobacco
business for the manufacturer who
will pack his tobacco in boxes that are
reasonably alright. | mean cheap to-
bacco. You can get expensive tobacco
in such boxes now. Cheap tobaccos
are put up in boxes that are Just as
expensive. but there is no pretense OF
having them alright. The result is
that when half the tobacco has been
used the other half is all dried up and
1t smokes like hay and burns your
tongue. All that is necessary is to
have a box with a double cover, the
inside cover made SO that 1t fits the in
side OF the box tightly. Such a box
keeps the tobacco moist and in just
the proper condition until 1t Is all used
up. The additional cost OF the inside
cover would be infnitesimal. 1t could
easily be covered by little reduction
in the amount Of decoration put on the
outside of the boxes that are now
used."-New York Sun.
