Science and Art" raised in great broWnstone
letters on the face of Cooper Union now has fuli
significance. The endowed funds of the Union
have reached sum which warrants crowdlng
out the revenue giving secular interests, which
have heretofore occupied the street f1oor or the
building.
The present school year began with the entlre
building given over to the $500 students OF the
day and night schools During the summer
large force of carpenters, painters and decorators
was at work transforming the portions OF the
building previously used for business. the added
quarters made room for 400 new students, ana
two new departments have been introduced.
They are the night school in naval architecture
and the department of decorative art
The story of the growth of the Cooper Union
endowment from the time when Peter Cooper
set aside the curious shaped building ana GIT
of 100000 to it's present magnificent proper
tions-S2 1873 000-is as interesting Il record OF
philanthropy as New-YOrk ever disclosed. II
was told recently by Abram : Hewitt one OF

100000 and that 1 hoped the time would come
when we would have money enough to free the
entire building of tenants. He immediately
wrote to me again. saying that he did not kno"
of the real situation and offered to give SiO0OOO.
II answered that 1t would take S6OoooO to
entirely free the building of the necessity to
rent some of it's space. L have no doubt
that Mr. Carnegie would willingly have supplied
this amount then and there but told him that
the Cooper family could not permit any one TO
give more to the Union than they did. 1t was
a kind of financial bluff which the family of Mr
Cooper kept up until they felt prepared to match
any offer that was made.
'It was apparent in January that our ex-
penses for the year would be $4,000 in excess
Of the receipts. Mr.. Carnegie then asked again
to be allowed to give $300000 more. It was now
up to the Cooper family. So they agreed to go

Yale got the find
To enumerate the valuable fossils uneartheo
in Wyoming by Professor Marsh would be TO go
over the list of most of the famous finds OF the
kind made in this country. The first Yale ex-
pedition went out in 1870 Professor Marsh at
the head and returned with an immense num-
her of unknown new forms of prehistoric h1ei
Among the most famous of these were huihpeI
Of new fossil serpents from the Tertiary OF wy

One of the most important finds OF Professor
Marsh was the missing link IN the long Succe@
sion of the modern horse III an extinct ahliilai

ming. and which he called the orohippus. Ihls
discovery received the greatest attention from

the three remaining original trustees. who had
given his best efforts to the development of the
foundation of his old friend For forty-three
years Mr.. Hewitt annually presented the report
of the board of trustees at the commencement
exercises of the Union. and almost without ex-
ception he told of an income Inadequate to the
needs of the institution. This year it diff
ferent.
Peter Cooper Il poor boy who wanted to
get along in New York" said Mr.. Hewitt a few
weeks ago in outlining the Unions emancipa-
ton from poverty, but he found that there was
no free night school where he could study. He
determined when still poor and very
young boy that he would seek to remove that
reproach from the city of New-York This was
the great purpose of his life.
81 have often heard Mr. Cooper say that the
first thing every should do to save a
little money. and that wi-n he had saved this
money and invested it in .oiIe little property he
was pretty sure to be ? city good citizen
Hence he said in his dec. If gift that of all
things to be taught in Cooper Union the science
of good government must be first-nOt political
science, but the doctrine. Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you.
when he had accumulated money enough he
erected tris building. He knew that his means
would not provide for more than the building
itself When he called the trustees together to
transfer the building to them, he said: / want
this structure appropriated as soon as possible
to the education of the young men and young
women of New-YOrk, and everything must be
| free l have contributed all the property can,
| and here is $50 000 for apparatus. [ wanted tha
building TO be called the Union, but the legislat-
| ure has unfortunately affixed the name Cooper
| This will probably prevent general gifts being
| donated. 1t will probably be necessary, there
| fore to rent some of the offices in order to pro-
| vide some of the revenue necessary to conduct
the institution
| Before he died Peter Cooper provided S2oo-
600 more, the income of which would run ths
| building itself He often said hope the time
! will come when some will make it possible
| to remove all secular tenants from the building.
SO that all the space can be devoted to educa-
| tion.' But as years went on no one seemed to
come to relief.
| Finally Andrew Carnegie wrote to me and
| said that he wanted to in some manner show his
| appreciation of the great work Peter Cooper had
done His idea was to give S1O0.O0O- l an

in Europe in the early eighties, and museums

WISE CANUCK HORSES
Save Masters from Destruction by
Sagacity and Sureness.
Instances Where Brute Instinct Was
Superior to Human Intelligence
Wonderful Feat of q Mail
Carriers Horse,

To most people it would seem to be
impossible that the horse, by nature
denizen of a warm or at least
temperate country, could thrive in
wild state amid the rigors of Can
adian climate. That this is possible
is shown by recent incident, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
A brace of moose hunters, who
were camping out in the woods in
the extreme north of Pontiac county,
thought they saw wild moose feed
ing in the scrub near by. Some sci
entifc and painful stalking was done
and just as rifles were being leveled
at the game it saved it's life, and
startled the hunters by giving utter
ance to decidedly equine neighing.
1t was then joined by a second
dark-colored horse from the shadow
of the woods and this one also pro-
ceeded to browse upon the twigs and
branches. AS soon as the men
showed themselves, the pair dashed
back into the woods and disappeared.
The next day they narrated their
experience to band of shanty men
and found that three or four of them
had also seen the pair of horses run
ming wild in the woods. At times the
pair were accompanied by big, red
mare and young foal. 49,. ..
The mare was recognized as one
abandoned in the woods two years
ago. The two horses are supposed
to be the team of lumberman who
was drowned.
These animals have managed to
subsist upon the beaver meadows in
summer, and by browsing on twigs
in winter for several years. Who
knows but that, there is a nucleus
here for the. raising of drove of
hardy though perhaps stunted wild
horses such aseare found on the
Welsh mountains or in the, cold and
barren Shetland and Orkney islands
to the north of Scotland?
The wonderful sagacity of horses
often avails. to prevent accidents in
those northern wilds in the early
winter. For instance, the writer
once started to drive down Bark lake
on new ice at nightfau. After ten
hours travel the horse. a very speedy
Norman thoroughbred, came to a
dead stop and refused to go for
ward.
The beast had by her past actions
inspired such confidence in her intel
igence that her driver, not daring to
attempt to turn in the pitchy dark
ness for fear of losing his bearings,
covered her with the sleigh robes and
stamped about on the ice near her all
through the longest night in his ex-
perienAe.
When morning came it revealed an
almost frozen man and horse upon
the ice and open water just 80 feet
IN front of them. At the mares feet
was mans toque or cap and a
mans body was frozen into the ice
four or five yards away.
Experiment showed that six feet
before the sleigh the ice was, after
the nights frost, only three inches
thick. Had another step been taken
there would probably have been
