made equally praiseworthy retreats
and especially the rear guards of all
the armies, who performed their diff

There is much 20 be said also for the
panic-strickeu condition of troops.
They were largely composed Of undis-
eplined men, and wagon drivers were
mingled with soldiers, who for fifteen
days were under constant fire, crowd
ed together in a mass whence egress
was impO. sible.
Both Sides Lost 100000.
The struggle Tor the possession Of
Mukden cost both sides close to 200,-
600 men. The Russian loss of officers
includes a large proportion of regi-
mental commanders and field officers.

the exception of three or four, have

He lodges suddenly and the dogs
run by a little; then another dodge
and another. but the dogs are ready
for him and getting closer. Each
wants the privilege Of catching the
game, for that Is point in the record.
Bunny Is at his wits end. He
knows not what to do. He makes his
last turn; a red mouth snatches him.
There Is q crunching Of bones, quiv-
ering form thrown in the air and the

The dogs are leashed and led back

similar contest and so on, two by two,
until one has made the best record OF
all and wins the prize for his class.
In the enclosed meet the arrange
ments are similar, save that the dogs
and rabbits run inside the burlap
fence and, some of the rabbits escape
into another enclosure through the
openings.
The fitness of Kansas for the sport
Is shown by the distance men come to
hold the meets on the prairies Of the
state. Said New Yorker at the recent
Futurity meet: There Is no such
place in America for coursing. Down
East we have our meets, but they are
mere play. With a twenty mile prai-
rie before one and a chance for the
rabbit to go In any direction he choos-
es the sport becomes really exciting
and is something to do man good.
never saw real coursing before until
I came out on the Kansas plains"
The best evidence Of the growth Of
this sport is seen in the number of
places competing for the privilege of
having meets. In addition to Kansas
and Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska and
Wyoming want to enter the lists,
while the Oklahoma prairies will be
In line next year.
All over the West are hundreds Of
lovers Of the sport, and breeders OF
good dogs have no difficulty In finding
buyers. The prominence Of this years
announced meeting, the value Of the
cups offered and the interest taken In
the contests all indicate that 1t will be
successful season In coursing cir
cles.
While the breeder and the lover of
the scientific side Of the sport may
take to the matches within enclos-
ures, the real sport comes to him who
rides forth on the wild reaches of
short grass in Oklahoma and the Da-
kotas or down in the Panhandle
watching for a chance to follow the
streak Of gray that means the flight
of a jackrabbit. With good horse
and a good dog-and both must be
swift to accomplish anything at
all in this sort Of race-the liveli-
est sort Of pursuit may follow and
the best element Of sport Is involved
In the process.
But the opportunity for this is
growing less. The jacks are diminish
ing as settlement goes on In increas-
ing ratio, and save in Oklahoma's big
pasture few places are left In which
they may be found in plenty.

At The Storm Centre

Everybody who reads the news
papers and magazines knows some
thing Of the Insurance Investigation
now going on in New York city. and
the bad light in which several life
insurance companies have been shown
up. The Mutual Benefit has not been
put on the rack az yet, and probably
will not be for the reason that the
committee knows that its business
principles and methods are now and
have always been absolutely clean,
correct, above suspicion, and that all
men who have taken the trouble to
investigate its record are aware of
this fact, while there are other COM
panies yet to be investigated, that
evidently need investigating and the
work will consume all the time at
the committees disposal before
the meeting Of the n. Y. legislature.
New York city and state have for
sixty years furnished more applicants
for Mutual Benefit policies than any
other section, The increase In bus
iness in 1905 over 1904 has been over
200 per cent. This increase Is not
due to increased effort on the part
of the company or its agents, but to
an overwhelming demand for annual
dividend insurance In this most con-
servative company. The Mutual Ben
eft is the only purely mutual annual
dividend company doing business In
York county.

The Power of a Column of Water.

Imagine a perpendicular column
of water more than one-third OF a
mile high, twenty-siX inches in diam
eter at the bottom. Those remark
able conditions are complied with, as
far as power goes. in the Mill Creek
plant, which operates under a head
of 1850 feet This little column of
water, which If liberated, would be
just about enough to make a small
trout stream, gives a capacity Of s.
200 horsepower, or enough power
to run a good sized ocean going
vessel. AS the water strikes the buck
cts of the water wheel it has a pres
sure of $50 pounds to the square
inch What this pressure implies Is
evidenced by the fact that the aver
age locomotive carries steam at a
pressure of 100 or 200 pounds to the
square inch. Were this steam, as 1t
issues from the nozzle, turned upon
hillside, the earth would fade away
before II like snow before a jet OF
steam.
Huge 6owlders big as city offices,
would tumble into ravineS with as
little effort as a clover burr is car
ried before the hydrant stream on a
front lawn. Brick walls would crackle
like paper. and the hugest sky-scra-
pers crumble before stream like
that of the Mill Creek plant. 1t
takes a powerful water wheel to
withstand the tremendous pressure.
At Butte Creek, Cal. single jet Of
water. six inches in diameter, issues
from the nozzle at the tremendous
velocity Of 10000 feet a minute. 1t
impinges on the buckets Of what Is
said to be the most powerful single
water wheel ever built, causing the
latter to travel at the rate OF ninety
four miles an hour, making 400 rev.
olutions a minute. This six-inch
stream has capacity of 10000 horse
power. The water for operating the
plant is conveyed from Butte Creek
through a ditch and discharged into
regulating reservoir which is 1900
feet above the power house. Two
steel pressure pipe lines. thirty inches
in diameter, conduct the water to the
power house.-The World Today.
