HORSES AT SEA.
They Can Smell Land LoI,s Before Il
Comes In Sight.


s The ability Of horses to smell land
when far at sea is not generally known,
but the equine must be credited With
this acute sense.
When well known horseman OF
Philadelphia went to Europe some lime
ago he took a blooded horse with him.
The animal was in specially prepared
stall on deck and enjoyed the trip
despite the rough weather. When the
horscman thought land should soon be
sighted, he asked the captain how far
the ship was from the Irish coast. The
commander of the steamer, in his usual
gruff manner, replied: "Your horse will
tell you Watch him."
The owner of the animal could not
understand what the captain meant,
and he was not particularly pleased
with the answer. Finally, however,
and couple of hours before land was
observed. the horse, which was mag
nificent bay. poked his head through
the grating and, stretching his neck,
.whinnied loudly.
"There you are" said the captain to
the horseman. "Your horse smells the
land" The horse was like different
animal thereafter until the coast loom
ed up.
The captain in explaining the odd
occurrence said that the thoroughbred
detected the odor from pasture lands
that was waited far seward and that
horses on board ocean steamers always
give the first signal when land is near.

IOWA BUILDING coMPLlMENTED

I,ibits Arriving in Great Quantities
From All Sources

Special to Times Republican,
Des Mones, March 9.-W. L. Shep-
herd, of Harlan. the superintendent of
the work of construction of the Iowa
building at st. Louis has just returned
from ST. Louis where the Iowa building
WAS accepted from the contractor and
payments all authorized. He states that
the Iowa commission has received
many compliments on having con-
structed such handsome building with
a small sum of money and that other
Iowa commission has made in getting
tie most for it's money In all matters.
''lsut got it hot and heavy" said Mr..
Shepherd, from the exposition man
ay,ement on account of the parsimony
OF Iowa in the matter Of providing such
a small sum for the exhibits. Other
ST ates, so they say. that are in the same
class with Iowa, have appropriated very
much larger sums for the exhibition
and are able to make much better
showing of results. ! find that work
generally on the exposition is going on
at wonderful rate, but for the life
of me I cannot see how they are gotng
to get everything into good shape for
the opening of the exposition. A vast
amount OF work has been done and
small army is at work literally, day and
night and Sundays, but there is so
much to be done that 1t is hard to see
how 1t can all be done on time.
nr In y.
hihits are arriving. Mr.. Sheperd said;
Il was informed by the management
that on the day was last there ia
cases Of exhibits from Belgium arrived
at the grounds. 229 consisting OF sculp-
ture and Is of paintings. From France
there was received the same day ~
cases of oil paintings and IL of furni-
ture and marble exhibits; from Manila,

from ottawa, Canada, so packages con-
sisting OF minerals and ores; from sgd

ment. cases Of woodwork. LOT bales

board work. Mr. Shepard was also
informed of the arrival in San Francis
co the same day of 2.057 cases of Chi
nese exhibits, embracing nearly every
thing that could be shown to advantage
from that country. These were given
by Mr.. Sheperd as samples of the re-
ports received and indicating the great
work which is now devolving ON the
