THE WILD HORSE ALMOST Elk.
TTNCT

It is said that there were at least
100000 mustangs scattered over the
plains of Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas ten years ago, and that now near
ly all of them are gone. A few were
caught and kept by the Indians in their
reservations, but the wild horse, in his
natural state, is practically extinct.
Three causes are assigned for this !.
First, the better horse of the East,
cheapehed by the trolley car and the BIZ
cycle, could be bought at moderate
price, and the mustang was shot by the
stockmen as useless consumer Of pas
turage; second, that the breed deterior-
ated, and naturally died out; and third
heaven save the mark that they
were shot and made into canned beef"
The ranchmen now breed and raise
high grade horses and find ready mar
ket for them, not only In the Eastern
States, but In England and Germany
for army use. The Western climate
makes them hardy, long winded and
speedy.

NO TINE AT THE NORTH POLE.

The statement made in the heading
of this paragraph, that there is no time
at the North Pole, may surprise you,
but British naval officer, who was in
the Arctic regions several yeats ago,
has a very ingenious way of showing
that the statement Is true.
If YOU will look at a globe, or at a
map of the globe, as you will find it in
an atlas, you will see that the merid-
ians of longitude come together at the
pole. Now, you know, of course, that
longitude Is time and that difference in
longitude Is difference in time. When
it is noon at London, it is about ? o'clock
in the morning at Boston; and when it
is noon at San Francisco it is about half
past 3 in the afternoon at New York,
But as the meridian of London ex-
tends to the North Pole, it must be
noon at the pole when it is noon at Lon
don and in like manner, when it Is noon
at San Francisco, or at Boston, or at any
other place Oh the Northern Hemisphere
it must be noon at the Pole. because the
meridians of all those places meet at
the pole. 1t is, therefore, noon all day
long at the pole; in fact, it is any time
you choose to call it, for there Is no
time difference at all.-PhiladeIbhid
