To catch cold in May is often more
dangerous than to catch cold in Janu-
airy. The first warm days of May are
depressing and tend to exaggerate the
enervating influences of the cold.
If a person catches cold in January
he is braced up by the invigorating
weather, but to catch cold in May Is
unfortunate, as the weather tends to
depress rather than invigorate. In this
way it frequently happens that to
take cold in May is far worse than a
winter cold. The May cold hangs on
week after week. The usual remedies
seem. to do no good. 1t produces
complete lassitude of the whole body.
Red, puffy eyes, sneezing and fulness

are a few of the symptoms of May
cold.

The Much-MnIigned Crow.

John Burroughs, in the Atlantic.
Mr.. Long doubtless got the hint of
mis- ridiculous book from MIR. Thomp-
SON. Seton's story of the crow, wherein
he speaks of a certain old pine woods
as the crows fortress and college:
Here they find security in numbers
and in lofty yet sheltered perches, and
here they begin their schooling and are
taught all the secrets of success in crow
life, and in crow life the least failure
does not simply mean begin again. 1t
means death" Now the idea was
false one before Mr.. Long stole 1t, and
he has pushed it to such length that
it becomes simply ridiculous. There is
not a shadow of truth in 1t. 1t is sim
ply one of Mr.. Thompson-Seton's
strokes of fancy. The crows do not

est backwoods hamlet has more of the
appurtenances of civilization than the
best organized crow or other wild an
imal community in the land!
For forty years have seen crows IN
winter in different parts of the coun-
try, passing to and fro between their
rookeries and their feeding grounds,
and / have never seen anything like
leadership among them. They leave
their roosting places at daybreak and
disperse north and south or east and
west to their feeding grounds, going
in loose struggling bands and silently,
except in early spring. and they return
at night in the same way, flying low
if it is stormy and windy, and high
if it is calm, rising up or steering off

The Amarillo Star contains this re-
markable story:
ut is seldom that a newspaper can
furnish its readers with novel matter
gathered from natural history of a like
source. The Star begs leave to an
nounce that a yearling calf crawled
under the large building of Mr.. ]. ].
Holt on Polk street, near the Denver
road. Saturday night Messrs. Holt and
Singleton were in the office of the
building and heard a scrambling,
thumpng noise beneath Upon in
vestigation they discovered a yearling
calf under the building near the front
entrance. From the position of the
calf it seems to have crawled about 140
feet to have reached the eastern end
of the building. No place between the
ground and building is more than TWEEN
ty inches high. The exit of Mr.. Calf
was somewhat trying. owing to the
small space at which he tried to crawl
out. 1t was assisted by a rope in the
hands of Messr. Holt and Singleton,
who voueh for the truth of this story,
and in addition there is calf hair the
entire length of the building"
The gentlemen mentioned in the ar
ticle will be credited by the average
man in Amarillo. Because to doubt
what they say brings with the doubt
the duty of crawling under the house
to look st the calf hair. Most men
would rather agree to the truth of the
whole story than make the exploration
mentioned If there is a doubt, justice
requires the investigation with its at
tending labors.

cost was four runs.
Then again in the eighth inning the
Tigers went up in the air with bad
errors, bad fielding. wild throws and
miX-ups as their portion, while the
Georgians. after filling the bases with
monotonous regularity, trotted around
the bags and waded in and across the
home plate just eight times by the off,

Quite the feature of the day was the

Engraving on Glass.
from the Washington Post

from the washington Post.
A famous French chemist Cailletet
has discovered a very simple and easy
way to engrave glass.
The method is to cover a tumbler or
bottle or other glass object with
thin, smooth and thoroughly laid on
covering of glue. Either very good
cabinet-maker's glue or fish glue will
serve perfectly.
The only care that must be taken is
to see that there are no air bubbles in
the glue after it has been applied and
That the coating is uniform and OF
even thickness over the entire article.
Ordinary glass tumblers lend them
selves beautifully to the experiment.
Polished marble and the beautiful Ice
land feldspath also make good sub
Jects for the process. The very thin
and fragile glasses must not be used,
because they will break after the glue
begins to contract in the process or
drying.
1t is this contraction that produces
the beautiful result.
Glue thus applied to glass sticks to
1t very tightly. Then its tight hold to
the glass prevents the layers of glue
from contracting without pulling at
the glass, and thus little by little the
glue Sits and splits tiny fragments
from the surface of the glass.
If certain salts are added to the
glue the effect is still more beautiful
because then the splitting of the tiny
fragments forms perfect semblance

Inc best salts to add are saltpeter

HORSES OF STONE AGE.
Scientist Ffnds Them To-day Alive
I'm WiIds of Africa.
From the Pittsburg Leader.


From the Pittsburg Leader.
Twenty-four years ago a Russian ex-
plorer returned from the wild interior
of Central Asia, and reported that he
had found strange species OF horsehSe
animals-creatures shaped generally
like the horse of civilization, but much
smaller. in body and with enormous
heads. He declared that the creature
was genuine wild horse, and he tried
to get naturalists and biologists to
make new classification for the ami
NAL But they refused, because they
did not believe that the traveller really
had found any horse different from
the ordinary kinds. They held that
the Asiatic horse probably was only
dwarfed horse and otherwise like all
the other known breeds.
Thus the story of the strange wild
horse was forgotten again. A few years
afterward the skulls and skins of about
half dozen were brought to Russia by
another traveller, who had, however,
not seen the horses himself, but had
obtained the hides from Monaghan
traders.
These bones and skins finally reach
ed the st. Petersburg Museum, but
luIOuBn an dCClOeHI IL ndppeIleu lNut
they did not get the eyes of scietists
who would have realized their value.
So the precious material finally VAS
acquired one day by private indiVi1-
ual and at last was destroyed as be-
ing of no account.
Then came another period of Oblivion
for the wild horse of Asia. But at last
a third traveller actually found a great
herd of them. and, fortunately, he was
a man versed in zoology, so that he was
able to speak with authority when he
returned to Europe.
He announced positively that the
Central Asian horse not only was a
horse entirely different from all other
known types, but that it was without
doubt one of the earliest forms of
horse survival of an animal world
of many tens of thousands of years
ago.
Fired by his description, animal COL
lectors fitted out expeditions, and now
there are twenty-eight of the animals
in the geological gardens in Ham
burg
AS result of this naturalists have
been able to study the new animal
carefully and thoroughly, and they
have agreed that the little horse is an
ancient form, one of the genuine an
cestors of the horse of to-day. One
naturalist, Salenky, holds that these
wild horses are the original links be-
tween the ass and the horse. Prof.
Noack disputes this, and says that the
little wild horse is almost identical with
very ancient, extinct small horse that
once lived In Europe.
Since the two scientists issued their
statements the wild horses have been
compared infinitely with the pictures
found engraved in the famous caves
in France, where the men of the stone
age engraved the first pictures ever
made by man so far as known. Among
these rudely scratched pictures are pic
lures of the horse of that long past
period. And it has been found that
the living wild horse of Central Asia
is completely identical with the ex-
tinct European horse of the stone age
So it looks as If the world had dis
covered another living creature out OF
the dim past to add to the okapi found
by Sir Henry Johnston.

il even the most enthusiastic believers
in the latter method of growing for

the problem becomes the more impor-

several states is of direct Industrial in

For three months, beginning last
November a squad of from ten to f1r-
teen men, under a competent leader,
spent its tipne reseeding the mountain
regions of Southern California, where
fires had denuded the surface. The
country, alarmed by the decreasing
water supply, asked for this work, and
assistance was given by the towns of
the section visited in carrying on the
replanting. Pine in varieties suited to
the moisture likely to be secured was
generally planted. On March 1, this
year, it was announced that the seeds
planted in November had begun to ger
inmate, and that there was promise of
a successful growth over the areas
treated. In a few years the bare
mountain sides will be clothed again
with green.
