Do Certain Animals When Their Mouths
 Are Held Open.

Animals of the horse kind can only breathe through the mouth with great difficulty end effort, so that if their nose is obstructed they tend to suffo- cate. Even their vocal sounds are uttered through the nose as a rule, but when they do use the mouth the cry is made with obvious effort. and is generally of a strident character. The horses neigh is made by respiratory efforts through the nose, and is easy and spontaneous in character; but the scream 1t utters when in mortal pain is made through the mouth, and is labored and unnatural. The donkey makes q pleasant hising noise through t2a !. SC when pleased, but it's bray thfftteA the mouth is painful and laEo@esl. Large, open nostrils form an important feature in a thoroughbred horse. for from it's inability to breathe through the mouth it is dependent on it's nose for it's "Wind" when going at great speed. Much lower in the scale of life we find the frog. which suffo- cates when it's mouth is forcibly kept open.

Fossil SnaSe.

The qpeerest placer claim in the world, according to the Cheyenne Fri. bune. is near Fillmore Wyo. where rancher named s. A. Aggers has Btaked out a placer claim covering twenty acres in order to protect fossil which he has found. The fossil is that of huge snake, 1855 feet of which are eoiled in stone on top of the ground. The folds of the snake range from twelve to eighteen inches in thickness. Mr Aggers has been be- sieged with visitors anxious to see the monster fossil. He intends to collect the pieces and ship them to the Ma tional Museum at Washington in the spring, and for the purpose of pro- tecting his find he staked out the claim, the fossil being near the center of the trlet.

In spite Of all the precautions that

The houses lack light, although they

perforated ceilings, through which the
air circulates, admitted from openings
pierced by the outer walls The floors
are brilliantly waXed, carpets, owing

plants flourish luXuriantly, there is no

to health, and it is doubtful if there is
a single normal liver in the whole of

THE HARLEY CREEK ROAD.

The Harley creek road to Belt
Park is sorely in need of repair, as
scarcely any work has been done up
on it for years. This road is valua-
bic to the ranohers of that growing
and prosperous district, and it is in
line of public interest at Neihart to
see that it is repaired. Some of the
bridges need rebuilding, and others
will have to be strengthened. Then
a little plowing, scraping and rock
picking and it is done. The Belt
park voters anil taxpayers should
not let the subject rest until this is
done, regardless of tho talk that all
the road fund is exhausted. A few
dollars judiciously expended here
would make the route at least safe,
and district 10 has right to demand
the execution of reasonable repairs.
The Herald stands always ready to
back such movement, and will do
all in its power to see the work ac-
complished.

WELLINGTON'S DECISION.
when the Moment to Strike Had
Come, He Did Not Hesitate

Come, He Did Not Hesitate,
Badajos lies in Spain five miles from,
the Portuguese frontier. 1t was the
key of situation. Wcllington's chance
was to strike at Badajos before the
French marshals could combine and
crush him. His task was both in front
OF him and behind him. He lacked
transport; he lacked food for the men.
the soldiers were eating cassava root
instead of bread; the bulIocks were
weak and emaciated. All this was the
doing of the parliament at home.
But Wellington knew that the mo-
ment to strike had come, ana be seems
TO have hesltated very little. Placing
no faith in the tongues Of the Portu
gueSe, he made his plans with all pos.
sible secrecy. The guns for the siege
were loaded on board the transport at
LISBON ana consigned to a fictitious ad-
dress. But in the river Sadhao thcv
were placed upon smaller vessels, and
lnally they were again landed and
drawn by bullocks to Eloas, a post in
the possession of the allies. Having
stationed two-thirds Of his force under
General Graham and General Hill TO
prevent most probable interference
by Soult and Marmont. Wellington ad-
vanced, reaching Eloas on the 1lth or
March. 1912. He had made the most
incredible eXertions
The stupidity of the Portuguese had
We'd with the stupidity of the govern.
ment at home. Wellington had been
carrying the preparation for the CAM
paign upon his own shoulders. If he
was to win Badajos, he was to win It
with no help save that from gallant
and trustworthy subor,linatcs. He was
i'll withal. Even his strangely steel
like nature had bent beneath the trou-
bic of preparation amid such lndiffer-
ence. But on March 1G Beresford, with
three divisions crossed the Guardiana
on pontoons and flying bridges, drove
the enemys outposts and invested

1t is not quite 70 years since there
was no school in the limits of Chi
cqgo. The first school house was
built by woman, at her own ex-
pense, in 1881. Ten years later
there were four district schools, with
four teachers, each receiving $400 IA
year. For the last school year the
total appropriations were over 81
100000. There are 250 public
school houses with 5000 teachers
and over 255,000 pupils, including
eight high schools, with 5000 pu-
pills. There are three universities,
one of which has an endowment of
$4,000, 900, and another of Sl1 600
