What sort Of foods would best sup
ply the materials to enable our horse
to build up his worn-out muscles? At
present prices Of food-stuffs in most
sections of North Carolina cottonseed
meal would be the best concentrate, or
grain food. Instead of adding four
pounds Of corn to the ten pounds we
were already feeding, we ought to
have added two pounds Of cottonseed
meal That is, ten pounds of corr and
two pounds Of cottonseed meal will
give us better results, and the grain
ration will cost us one-seventh less
than fourteen pounds of corn. This,
OF course, only applies when the rough
forage is corn-fodder or grass hay. Or,
we might supply the materials to build
up the worn-out muscles from any OF
the other foods put in the same class
with cottonseed meal, oats, wheat
bran, or pea-vine or clover hay, but on
account Of the price we cannot af-
ford to feed wheat bran, especially
since one and one-fourth pounds Of
pea-vine hay are worth as much for
feeding as one pound Of wheat bran.
II wheat bran is worth $50 per ton, this
gives a value Of $50 per ton to pea
vine hay, We can produce 1t for
much less. Therefore, siLce we have
said that two pounds Of cottonseed
meal would take the place Of four
pounds of corn in ration made up OF
corn and corn-fodder, II is apparent
fhat either pea-vine or clover hay, or
cottonseed meal should be used TO bal

Strange Flectric Iiphta.

During the remarkable magnetic
storm, accompanied by displays Of the
aurora borealis, on October 81 last, a
gentleman driving along a country road
at night, near Calgary, Canada, had a
singular experience. He found himself
surrounded with great vertical shafts
Of light, which extended up into the sky,
meeting at the zenith in a perfect apse,
and glowing with beautiful colors, the
shafts being bright ruby-colored at the
top. but changing in hue as they de-
seended through purple and green to-
gold At the bottom. Objects half q mile
away we're evidently beyond the shafts,
and indeed some Of these were only a
few yards distant, and seemed to chase
the observer as he drove on in his buggy.
The display lasted but q few minutes.

MONKEYS EARN A LIVING.
Manipulate Fans In India to Cool
Their Masters Parehing BroWs
Method Of Education.

Monkeys are more than pets IN some
parts Of the world. At Malabar, India.
they are taught to work, and have &C
tualIy made themselves almost indispen-
Bable in the homes Of the wealthy. The
Malabar monkey Is Of the fine species
known as the langur. II Is very warm
In Malabar, and there Is fan called the
punka, which used to be kept in mo-
ton BY slave. II required slave to
work each punka, but now every punka
in Malabar is worked by a monkey.
II was an English oficer who con-
ceiVed the idea Of making the langur
work in that manner. The fan Is a NOV
able frame, covered with canvas and
suspended from the ceiling. The motion
Is caused by pulling a cord. The oficer
tied the hands Of the langur to one Of the
cords, and then by means Of another
cord put the machine in motion. OF
course the monkeys hand went up and
down and the animal wondered what
kind Of a game was being played. Then
the officer patted its head and fed It with
candy till soon the langur thought It
was fine fun to work the punka. The
experiment was successful and now
thousands Of monkeys are in harness.

The fact that compression or bend
ing causes a substance to emit 3-rayB
has suggested to II. d. Lepinay that
vibrations producing sound should have
he same effect, IS the sounding body
undergoes slight but rapidly repeated
strains. Experiments with q tuning
fork. a bronze bell, q large steel cyl
lnder and a siren proved this to be true,
and the phosphorescent screen showed
that the air also produces as well as
transmits the rays. Another invest-

II can be used with deadly effect as dag
ger, and a handle that enables a woman
to grasp It for use as a weapon and hold
it 50 that It cannot easily be pulled from
her hand.
There are two ways Of holding this
hatpin. II can be held with the thumb
pressed against the top or with the but
ton grasped in the palm Of the hand. In
either way it is q weapon not to be de-
spised.
The method Of using 1t to the best ad-
vantage when attacked is to aim at the
face Of the highwayman. A woman
armed with one of these stilettos is able
to do more damage in a few seconds than
a man unarmed. The wicked little blade
Is 50 small that It is impossible to grasp
It to wrench 1t away from her. and yet
80 keen Is 1t that, thrust home by a wOm-
an frenzied by fear, it is likely to pierce

REASON EoR EARTHeuAkEs
Tine, Says Professor, u Accountable
for shrinkags IN Worlds Surface
That Results In Disturbances.

Prof. James =. Kemp, Of the chair Of
geology at Columbia university, had this
explanation to give Of the New England
earthquakes:
The earth tends to 90 more and more
slowly as Il reVolVes, on account Of the
backdrag Of the atmosphere, 50 Il tends
to become more and more nearly Q per-
feet sphere and less fiattened at the
poles.
Also there Is q kind Of interior
shrinkage due 70 loss Of heat, and this
produces a shrinkage at the surface
which may produce the disturbances.
The original place Of the disturbance
was probably under the sea, and It COM
municated itself to the land"
A. W. Grabau, professor Of paleon-
tology, said: Il do not believe that the
disturbance was Of volcanic origin.
There have been none such in thls part
Of the world for fair number Of years.
Prof. Grabau was asked what he
meant by q fair number Of years.
Say about 1900. 900 years" he con-
tinued, graVely.
The last volcanic eruption here
abouts was the one that made the pail
sades on the Hudson, and that
was back IN the triassic period. In New
England we are positive there has been
no serious disturbance for Thousands Of
years, because there are powders there
which have not been disturbed within
that period"

The ''tiek-tock" that is universally
regarded as the sound Of both pendu-
lum and spring clocks, has been inves-
tgated by DR.. Rosenbach, q Berlin
psychologist. He finds that the tick"
results when the right arm Of the es-
capement anchor strikes q cog Of the
wheel moving upward, while the 'tock''
is produced when the other arm
strikes q cog moving downward. The

WoMAN's MONEY HER OWN.
Arkansas Court Holds That Legal
Rights Of Wives Make Property
Subject to Larceny.

It has been held by the lower courts at
times that q man could not steal from
bis wife and vice versa The supreme
court Of Arkansas has recently handed
down q decision which declares that .
man may steal from his wife.
The case In which this decision was
rendered was that Of the state versus J.
=. Hunt
Hunt, q saloon keeper, married Miss
Maud NeTills. who had q bank account
Of about six hundred dollars. Almost
Immediately after their marriage be be-
gan to try to get possession Of It.
Mrs. Hunt, while willing enough to
share with him whatever income Il
might bring, would not give It to him alb
solutely. He prevailed upon her at last
to give him a check for the amount, with
the understanding that he was not to use
It, but invest 1t in q piece Of property for
her. Hunt obtained the money and lost
no time in leaving the state with another
woman. They went to St Louis, and
were finally tracked to Los Angeles. He
was brought back to Arkansas to stand
trial.
Hunt was indicted and convicted In
circuit court for grand larceny and sen
fenced TO Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for i've years. From this be ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
On the appeal the main question raised
BY the attorneys for Hunt was that a
man could not be technically guilty Of
larceny q his Wife's goods, because the
law regards them as one person, and q
man may not steal his own.
In an opinion delivered By Chief Jus
tee Bum the court declined to adopt
this view, holding that, while at com
non Law the legal unity Of the husband
and wife made It impossible for the one

and the provisions Of law enlsrging the
property rights Of married women e to

WERE NOT TRUE ALsINos.
Number Of White Buffalo Surprised
Hunters Until the Phenomenon
Found an Explanation.

Old buffalo-hunters Of the western
Kansas prairies used to tell Of having
seen and pursued white buffalo. There
were white buffalo, albinos, such as are
found at rare intervals in all the famI-
lies Of the animal kingdom; but the
number Of those which existed in fact
and Of those which existed purely IN the
Imagination, says the Kansas City Jour
nal, were in wonderful disproportion.
In 1873 old Ben Garfield, who roamed
The plains with his tall, gaunt wife for a
companion, followed q herd Of buffalo
from the northern edge Of what is now
Oklahoma to the sand-hills Of Nebraska,
thinking to kill a big white bull which
he had seen in the herd. After three
weeks Of patient stalking Garfield did
kill the bull, only to find that the white
ness Of its appearance was due to a coat
Of whitewash.
An explanation Of this phenomenon
would not be needed by people familiar
with the natural lime beds Of western
Kansas. The habit Of the buffalo is to
roll or wallow in every pool Of water or
mudhole TO which he comes. Canfeld's
buffalo had simply been rolling in q bed
Of the native lime, which, when dried
In the sun, coated his hide with q kind
If plaster.
No doubt these lime-holes account
for many Of the white buffalo" so often
reported by hunters.
