OWNS A MAMMOTH MULE.
Pennsylvania Statesman Has One
STANDING Nineteen Hands I4foh.

Pennsylvania Statesman Has One
Standing Nineteen Hands High.
State Senator George V. Hare, Of
Philadelphia. is the proud possessor
Of one Of the biggest mules on earth.
In his joy at the possession of this
giant animal the senator has been
trccting Philadelphians to a parade,
in which the big mule is seen in com
pany with horse. the latter looking
quite detected at being seen in such
company. and obviously feeling quite
small over the comparisons made by
the spectators.
The big mule, which took number
OF prizes at st. Louis, stands nineteen
hands high, which to a horseman
means that he measures six feet four
inches from his front feet to his with
ers. When he raises his head the tips
OF his ears are far out of the reach
OF an ordinary person, so that to put
bride upon him without the beasts
consent would be considerable of a
feat.
The mule weighs 1900 pounds, is
seven years old and eats three buck
cts of feed every day He has never
yet worked. having always been re-
garded as prize animal above such
as labor. 1t is the intention
Of his owner, however, to use him
as draft animal.

SENDING TIME BY WIRELESS.
Partisan Has Demonstrated Practica
bility of Scheme.

Partisan Has Demonstrated Practica-
bility of Scheme.
The distinguished maker of scien-
tific instruments in Paris, Bigourdan,
has experimentally demonstrated the
practicability of operating a system of
clocks by wireless telegraph signals.
The method, he claims. would be both
simpler and cheaper than the present
system, which requires the use OF
underground wires. The new plan
uses a central clock, operating every
second an electric contact which actu-
ates an oscillator. The signals are
transmitted to the receiving clocks
from an elevated mast. With the aid
OF chronograph band and recording
pen the signals can be read within
two one-hundredths of a second. The
experiments were made oyer a dis
tance of one mile and fifth, which
might be ncreased.-Youth's Com

Flea caused Street Car Aecldent.

This flea accident came from Fres-

that state. A motorman was just about
to take his car down a steep hill when
the flea made its presence known just
In the Noman's land, just south
