The story OF the Horse.

Horses began. in western America.
says Professor w. b. Scott OF Prince
ton. in the form CT animals hardly
larger than domestic cats. whose re-
mains are found in the Wasatch beds
of Eocene time. Later on, in the form
OF the mesohiIpus, these animals at
tanned the st -ture Of sheep, and showed
considerable advances in organization.
In time the protoaipFus was developed
and it not only attained a g-eater size,
but had a skeleton so like that OF a
horse as 70 require a careful exam
ination to note the diff 7rences." The
change from the prCt1hippus 10 the
existing eqUus occurred early in the
Pliocene. Yet "the true horse in the
restricted sense OF the term tspecies
Equus cabalu w1s not developed in
North America, and appears never to
have reached this continent until
brought here By European settlers.
For reasons which can hardly be even
conjeetured. the horses disappeared
entirely from the Western Hemisphere
before the discoveries OF Columbus,
and continued TO exist only in Eurasia
and Africa"

rlouing Of Metals.

1t Is, perhaps, not gen rally known
that one of the most important prop
critics Of metals employed in striking
coins and medals, and stamping and
shaping ar,ic.6s OF jewelry. is that OF
flowing under pre- sure. Standard sill
yer is remarkable for this property,
which precisely resembles the flowing
Of a viscous fluid. The flow takes
place when the metal is subjected to
rolling, stamping or hammering. and
the particles of metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts OF the die with
out fracturing, and perfect impress
sion is produced.

sun-spo,s and the weather.

AS We are believed now to be al
the beginning of new maximum sun
spot period the question Of the rela-
ton of the sun-sp.ts to the weather
is coming again to the front. The OBJ
servations OF Pref sscr Z. Bruckne.
indicate that there is a p rioilcal va
ration in the climates over the whole
earth, the mean lcng OF the period
being about S5 years. Mr.. w. J. S.
Lockyer believes it HIS been demon
strated that there is a variation in the
intensity of sun spot phenomena also
having a mean length Of about 35
years. The spot maximum, whose be-
ginning is now at haad, viii. accord
ing to Mr.. Lockyer, resemble that
which eliminated in 1870. and which
was remarkable for Is intensity. A
cycle of dry, hot weather corresponds
with this type OF maximum.

THE GARRoTE IN MANILA.
High sheriff May be Compelled to Use
II at An Execution.

High sheriff May be Compelled to Use
1t at An Execution.
: High Sheriff Peterson is wondering
how it feels TO garrote a man, says
the Manila New American. The sub
ject was suggested TO him by the dis
covery that there was a murder case
on the docket of Judge Collins court
and that the mode of punishment pre-
scribed by the Spanish code, under
which the courts are now operated, is
death in the chair.
The murderer is Lorenzo Antiparde.
charged with killing a native police
man last September in Tondo. If con-
victed and condemned to death, so the
learned say. there is but one way TO
carry out the sentence: Section 101 Of
the code reads: The penalty of death
shall be executed by garrote upon a
scaffold."
The subject seemed to prey upon the
sheriff's mind all day yesterday. He
wore a preoccupiod look and at times
was seen to give his hands a sharp,
twisting motion. followed by look
OF shock and disgust, as in the imag-
ination he heard the neck crack or
listened to the strangled victims dy-
ing struggle for breath.
Opinions differed as to the form of
the machine by which the death pen
Originally it consisted of a chair with
an upright post for a back. To this
was attached an iron collar, which
fitted around the criminals neck.
Through the post passed a screw, the
point of which pressed upon the back
One turn OF the crossbay handle Of
this screw forced the point through
the cervical vertebrae OF the con-
demned and killed him instantly.
This was the machine used in Cuba.
Spanish lawyers say that in the Phil
ippines the apparatus differed in that
the pointed screw and collar were alb
sent. The back post had broad
board behind the head. through two
holes in which passed ropes. The
ends Of the ropes were fastened TO
short board, narrow enough to pass
under the chin and cover the throat
The other ends OF the rope wound
round drum, and when this was
turned the throat piece was drawn
back till the victims wind was shut
off and strangulation followed. If
properly worked the shock killed in
stantly or rendered the man uncun-
ecious, but If the eXecutioner faltered
slow death by suffocation ensued and
the struggles of the unfortunate were
terrible to witness and listen TO.
