AS result of bad roads and heavy
transportation army horses in Argen-
tina have been overworked during the
rainy season, and many of them have
been exhausted or have fallen ready
victims to disease. To give greater
endurance sugar has been added to
the food of the animals. The effects
have been quite surprising, and it is
reported that not only has fatigue been
overcome by two ounces of sugar in the
daily food, but that animals that had
become quite useless regained strength
and capacity for work.

A sewing machine for the skin is a
recent French notion. 1t is intended
for the use of surgeons. In future a
surgeon need not slowly stitch the
edges of a wound. With the left hand
he keeps the two edges together, and
with the right he fastens them l:y
means of little clasps of nickel, hav-
ing points which only penetrate the
epidermis, and are not painful. These
catches are applied by the machine,
a species of pincer armed with them,
which can be disinfected by heating it

senate convened Monday a joint reso-
luton was passed authorizing the sec
rotary of the navy to donate to the
Minnesota State Historical society the

value in return.

that he would call it up after the dis
posa1 of the post Office appropriation

ton bill were non-concurred in and the
bill sent to conference.

In Northern Patagonia a reward is

In Northern Patagonia reward is
offered for the determination of the
dogs that overrun that part of the
world. The ancestors of these wild
dogs were a pair of tame collies which
were taken over by a Scotsman
straight from his native heath. The
animals have retained their natural
instinct in connection with sheep, but
instead of guarding them they prefer
killing them; hence the farmers have
always to be prepared for the sudden
advance at any time of strong herd
of the wild creatures hungering for
mutton.

ons, started hour later. Just before
dawn the Beers attacked. Before reen-
forcements could reach them the rear
guard broke. In the meantime a large
number of Beers galloped up on both
TANKS. These al first were checked by the
flank parties. but the panic and stampede
of the mules had begun, and all the mule
wagons, with a terrible mixture of mount
ed men, rushed past the ox=wagons All
efforts to check them were unavailing.
maj. Paris collected 40 men and Occur
pied a position a mile in front of the OK
wagons, which were then halted. After
gallant but useless defense the enemy
rushed into the ox-wagons and Methuen
was wounded in the thigh. Paris, being
surrounded, surrendered at ten a, m.

Then follows the numbers of the
casualties, as already cabled. The
