Enrland,s white Horses.

In the Occasional Magazine there Is
an interesting article on the historic
white horses which are to be found
in various parts Of Berkshire and
Wiltshire In Willis tEere are no few
er than six of these horses. The most
famous Is the one on Bratton Hill,
near Westbury. Local tradition has 1t
throne, won his greatest victory over
the Danes, the battle of Ethandun,
and cut out the figure of a white horse
on the hillside to commemorate it.
The horse itself is exceedingly quaint
in form, having very short legs and a
curious crescent at the end of the tail,
another mark of some of the horses
on British coins.

description are the two white horses
at BledlOw and Whitelaf, on the Chill
tern Hills, in Buckinghamshire, and
two gigantic human figures, one on
the downs near Caine, and the other,
the Long Man of Wilmington, near
Eastbourne. In addition to these
there is the famous Red Horse at Ty-
soc, in Warwickshire; the two modern
White Horses in Yorkshire, the eques-
trian figure Of George III. on Osming-

the bow OF his saddle his lariat

rocks and sands till the horseman drew
up before Jalisco's adobe. Dowd had

merry like boys over a new-found toy.

DOwd slipped down In the dust and
crawled into the shadow of a great
rock. He heard the two horses scam
pering away into the canyon. A thou
sand feet above him an eagle sailed
and screamed. The pulsing summer
air was so still and clear that he could
hear his own heart beat. Except the
eagle no sign of life appeared. Upon
the slantng hillsides small dabs Of
dusty green quivered in the heat
against the dun sands. He crawled
upon the rock and measured each
clump of scrub oak and sage till his
eyes swan in the glare, He sat like a
craven image for minutes and the
whole world seemed dead and ghostly
in the sun. Then a stone, set loose
above, rolled softly down upon his
left, little cataract of loosened shale
and sand dripping into the gulch be-
side him. His eye followed the course

bare ascent he glanced without NOV

stunted brush a hundred yards aloft
He did not stir till he saw, like a
blotch Of blood upon the leaves, a mo-
tlonless red spot. Then he slipped
down off the rock and as his Winches-
ter crept over the verge, pointed at
the blotch Of red, he whispered:
Praise God! It's Malajan's red
handkerchief"
Just as his bony finger found the
trigger there was a quaking in the
Apache's hiding place, and then little

low than the sand, crawled out of the
bush.
"The coward" growled Dowd. as
he realized that his enemy was hiding
behind the boy.
The Irishman rose up and shouted:

The boy started up and tried to run,
but the hill was steep and down he
rolled like a loosened bowlder into the

Graduated, but not present" was
the suggestive announcement made
concerning the class of 1901 at a we'll
known institution Of higher learning.
A majority of the class did not appear
at commencement though their names
were called and their degrees were
conferred. The case was extraordi-
nary, but the explanation was simple
and satisfactory. The services Of the
young men had been sought and en-
gagged by business men so urgently
that the president of the institution
had given the students permission to
leave school and go to work in ad-
vance of actual graduation. Their
courses of study were satisfactorily
completed and their examinations
passed, and 1t was thought to be not
worth while to keep them away from
the industries which needed them for
so long as even the few days yet re-
malning before the formal close Of the
academic year.

The youth was arrested for playing
base ball in the public street and for
the added misdemeanor of advising a

A new law of vision is said to have
been determined by experiments con-
Quoted under the supervision Of Pro
fessor Dodge, of the Psychological
Department of Wesleyan University,
MiddletOwn, Conn. 1t is this-that
the eye, while in motion, distinguishes
nothing in a complex field of vision.
1t seems to be proven that the eye
must rest, looking at some definite part
of a still object, for about one-twen-
tieth Of a second before it sees any
thing. Several years ago Professor
Dodge showed that the operation of
reading consists not in a sweeping of
the eye across a page, but in a series

Constitutional prohibition is limited
to few States Of which Maine, which
adopted its first prohibition law II 1851;
Vermont, which established prohibit
tiOn in 1852 and Kansas, which adopt
ed prohibition in 1881, are the chief.
There are many more States in which
qualified prohibition exists in certain
| counties.
There are six;y-slx counties in Ala
bama, and in ffty-six of them prohi-
bition has been established under the
existing license system, adopted in
1882 which provides for local option
by popular vote. In Arkansas fifty out
of the seventy-tive counties, in Flori-
da thirty of the forty-fve and in
Georgia every one of the 1877 counties,
except those containing the four larg-
est cities Of the State, are under pro
hibitlon
In Iowa there is prohibition in seven

sippi in seventy-one of the seveuty-fyc
counties, in Missouri in eighty-four Of

fifty-four counties.
In Southern States generally the
basis of political division is the coun-
ty, and Iowa is the only Western or
Northern State which has adopted the
principal of prohibition by counties.
Elsewhere the division is either the
city or the township and in many
New York, Pennsylvania and New
England townships prohibition has
been established locally and is as
much in force as If the voters of the
whole State had adopted it cs q fea-
ture Of the Constitution.
There is very little Constitutional or
local prohibition in the Pacific States,
outside of California, but in the North
west, Minnesota which adopted a pro-
hlbiton law many years ago for n
brief time, has several hundred pro-
hibition towns.

Automobile Trip Ended.

Alexander B. Winttan, the inventor
of the automobile, and Charles B.
Shanks, correspondent OF the CLEVELAND
Plaindealer, who left San Francisco a
week ago to make the trip across the
continent in motor carriage, arrived in
Winnemuca last night on a freight
train.
The automobile transcontinental trip
is off and the adventurous tourists will
finish their trip in a pullman car.
Their motor carriage is stalled in
sand dune about two miles east of Mill
City. The vehicle will also complete
the journey across the continent by
rail.
The sandy deserts of Nevada work ed
the undeing of the horseless carriage
and blasted the hopes Of the automo-
bilists, setting the seal of failure upon
their much advertised trip.
Messrs. Winton and Shanks were
seen by Silver State representative
this morning and they expressed keen
est disappointment over the abrupt
termination OF their trip. Mr.. Shanks
sent the story of the disaster to his
paper from this place, aud it may be
imagined that it is not one in which the
praises of Nevada is sounded to the
skies.
Mr.. Winton took his failure philo-
sophically. He says that ii is absolu-
tely impossible for an automobile to
cross the stretches of sand on the des-
erts of Nevada. But he is not discour-
aged and says he will make a machine
that will conquer the desert. He will
make another trial in his specially con-
structed automobile, probably next
summer.-Silver State.
