of Animal Industry was first organ
lied in the Department of agriculture
Investigation of breeding matters
was one of the prime objects, but
as the first work required was in re-
lation to sanitary matters. gradually
there has grown up the idea that
this was the sole end and aim of the
bureau. Even congress considered
that in authorizing the appropriation
last winter for this experiment. they
were inaugurating new policy,
and there were plenty of statesmen
who opposed the whole proposition.
But the policy has been inaugurated
and it is safe to predict that within
a few years this branch of animal
industry, will be the principal work
OF the department, and sanitary work
will be side ISSUE
Horsemen all over the country are
intensely interested in the expert
ment about to be inaugurated and
the plan decided upon to construct
a model American carriage horse
from standard bred trotting stock is
meeting with general approval. NJ.
H. Tichenor, probably the leading
carriage horse dealer, trainer and
breeder in this country, has ten
dered to Prof. Carlyle the use of his
sl5, 900 carriage stallion, which is
admitted to be one of the finest
horses of his type in the world. The
commission authorized to select the
foundation stock for the experiment
is being rendered the use of some of
the finest and most valuable mares
in the country, and there seems to
be a general disposition among
horsemen to lend every assistance to
the government in making the ex-
pertinent success. All realize that
it is the commencement of a new
family of horses that in the future
may make this country famous. 1t
also means that the time is not far
distant when instead of importing
millions of dollars worth of carriage
horses from Europe this country will
be exporting to the whole world.
When this experiment is we'll
under way it is expected that an ex-
pertinent or two in cattle breeding
will be started. This country has
never yet produced type of cattle
and it is believed that a type could
be produced that would much better
fit natural conditions than the
different breeds imported. Record

GOSSIP FROM:
sSkANDLNAVA:

The consular service question is
again a matter of speculation in the
Scandinavian peninsula. Nothing has
been done for many months towards
enforcing the agreement to estab-
lish q separate consular service for
Norway, and this delay is causing
apprehension on the west side OF the
mQuntains. Says the Norwegian cor
resondent of the Stockholm Alton
bladet: ''Public opinion is very de-
finite in Norway. Tho matter has
been carried so far that,1t cannot be
sidetrackeds without the"most serious
consequences. The earnestness OF the
Norwegian people is unmistakable,
and whoever may interfere unfavor-
ably must assume grave response
bilities. Frivolous thinking or speak
ing on this subject is out of place.
The idea that an abandonment of the
policy outlined in the preliminary
agreement would not be- dangerous,
and that the ENorwegians would be
aroused only for the time being, and
afterwards coolly submit to their
fate-that idea is thoroughly erron-
eous. The result is apt to be the
very reverse. In case of breach
the first outburst of. indignation
may be of comparatively mild char
acter. But the event will penetrate
deeply, and create sentiment which
may poison the public mind with
regard to the union. A lack of dis
cretion now would be worse than
any that might be shown in another
case. On the other hand, friendly
advances will give the idea of the
union strength which it never had
in the past. One poicy may kill the
union in the minds of the people,
the other policy will strengthen it
in the same minds. And we must
also consider what particular neigh
Dor will be palpably benefited " the
latter alternative. Our times do not
challenge unpremeditated acts nlong
these lines.'' The above warning
was given by Swede to Swedcs.

OLD WATCHES QUEER SHAPE

There is uncertainty as to when the
portable watch, as we understand It to-
day, came into use. It was probably at
the close of the sixteenth century. Queen
Elizabeth owned a large number OF
watches. Mary Queen of Scots, was the
possessor Of q skull-shaped watch. In
fact, the death head" pattern was at
that time much in vogue. Endless were
the styles, for there were watches shaped
like books. pears, butterflies and tulips.
The Nuremburg egg was a special shape
and was made In 1000. Those queer
shapes Of watches prevented their dnd-
ing place in the pocket. When was
the fob first used in the dress of man =?
The German fob Is "foppe." and it Is
believed that it came from Europe
through the Puritan, whose dislike for
display may have induced them to con-
zeal their umekeeperS from the pubic

thorities to be of the utmost value to
archaeologists and anthropologists,
shedding fresh light on the deep mystery
enfoldlng these ruins. and probably pro-
viding key for the solution of the
enigma which these extensive and mas
sive ruins Of temples and forts have
presented ever since their existence be-
came known to the world.
These ruins were known to the early
Portuguese In 1910, the Arab gold, ivory,
and slave traders first mentioning them.
Since about that period the ruins were
completely lost sight of until 1868, when
an elephant hunter named Adam Rem
ders rediscovered them, and later infor-
nation came to be circulated In Eng
land and other countries; but the de-
scrlptions given were very meagey and
scanty, probably owing to the fact that
this ancient city had In the course of
long centuries become buried in the SOIL
In 1891 Mr.. Bent, a well-known arch
aeolOgist. visited Zimbabwe, and pub
lished work on "The Ruined Cities Of
Mashonaland." Unfortunately he saw
the ruins only In their buried condition;
but SO far as his descriptions extended,
the conjectures he then made as to the
origin Of the ruins were considered as
highly probable. Mr.. Hall, after his
work at Zimbabwe covering two years,
has caused better description to be
prepared, and while confirming Mr..
Bent's main conclusions in several re-
spects, carries the discussion as to the
origin of the building considerably fur
ther. 1t is this new information on
points of ancient architecture and pre-
historic relics that causes the present
public interest in Zimbabwe.
Mr.. Halls detailed descriptions OF the
ruins, so far as he has disinterred them,
and his important discoveries, will be
issued early next year under the .4tle OF

Messrs. Hall and Neal on "The Ancient

The ruins are composed of three
groups Of temples and forts-namely,

the Elliptical temple, the Valley Of

covered is almost two miles in one direc-

discovered that this length of wall once
carried small towers and beautifully
carved soapstone monoliths. This Dor.
ton Of the wall, 80 decorated towards

with the geometr1cal orientation of tho
temple in order to fix seasons and Pc
riods Of the year.
The system of the orientation of an
cient temples was commonly adopted
in Asia. Arabia. Babylon. Phoen1cia and
Egypt. 1t is by the orientation of tho
temple that the approximate dates Of
their construction can be ascerta1ned.
This Is obtained by astronomical cal-
culation, the earth in the course OF CEN
