Arabian horses manifest remarka.
BILE courage in battle. It is said that
when horse of this breed finds him
self wounded, and perceives that he
will not be able to bear his rider much
longer, he quickly retires from the
conflict, bearing his master to a place
of safety while he has still sufficient
strength. But If, on the other hand,
the rider is wounded and falls to the
ground. the faithful animal remains
beside him, unmindful of danger,
neighing until assistance is brought.

"A pulling problem is how to get
rid Of empty nitroglycerin casks. The
wood of the casks become SO satur.
ated with nitroglycerin that in cx-
plosiveness it equals the nitroglycer-

safe, to refill the casks. To burn them
Is ont of the question. If left around,
they are a constant menace, for while
all men arc prone to show their re-

Greater attention to the eyesight Of
school children appears to he press
ing need OF the age-in cities, at least.
An investigation shows that eye de-
fects arc increased one-third by the
first three years of school life, and
that in ordinary schools 80 per cent
have only two-thirds of ordinary
keenness OF sight, while in one school
this proportion reached 4s per cent.
The dullness Of pupils is due in great
measure to eye defects.
