4 WONDERFUL HORSE DRILL.
Remarkable Exhibition Of Horse Intel
ligence at the Military Post.

One of the squads from Troop G.
Fifteenth Cavalry, held at Fort Ethan
Allen Friday afternoon their last drill
before going to New York for the Madi-
son Square Garden tournament BY in
vitation of Col. Wallace number OF
Burlington people witnessed the per-
Torrance. The squad of 81 men and
horses was in command OF Lieut.. Van
Leer, with the horses in the pink Of
condition and the men in full uniform,
look soldierly and handsome.
The horses were put through evolu-
| tions that astonished every spectator.
The squad trotted into the great riding
shed, at once began the drill and did
| not stop for moment until the drill
was ended, taking about half an hour.
| The performance was nothing short of
wonderful. The animals seemed to be
endowed with memory and reasoning
power. and they enjoyed the drill APP
parently as much as the men. They
went on a trot, a canter or side step
through every complicated movement
without a halt or a mistake.
The eyolutions were not by any means
simple. They were fully as involved
and complicated and embraced as many
figures as any well drilled body Of men
ever attempted The riders Of course,
directed the animals, but there was no
| balk or blunder among the horses, and
4 it seemed that they might have done it
| alone. Such an exhibition gives the adj
mirer Of the horse new reason for his
admiration. Ii the mental training OF
/ that noble animal continues we will
some time in the future have reason
TO study the psychology Of the horse.

RESULTS OF YEARS WORK
IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
(Continued from First Page.)

l.
ism reports that it's Investigations
show that little progress has been
made along that line, that systematic
magnetic surveys Of the oceanic areas
are entirely lacking and that despite
the apparently vast accumulation of
data such an important question as
whether the earth's magnetic energy is
Increasing or decreasing and the an
nuaI rate of change cannot yet be
definitely answered. There has been
comparatively little increase in the past
half century in the knowledge of the
general distribution of the earth's mag
netic forces. The institution has ap-
proved the general scheme Of a project
for magnetic survey of the north Pa
cific, although it has not passed on the
details. The project as presented to
the institution, contsnplates the char
acter of q woodruff non-magnetic
sailing vessel of approximately 600 tons
displacement to pursue a. "clockwise
spiral course embracing the entire
north Pacific ocean," about 10000 knots
being market out. The confident ex-
pectation is expressed that in the
neighborhood of islands and coasts dis
tortions and Irregularities in the distri-
button Of the earth's magnetism will be

the prime duty of those already in the
land is to see that their own progress
and development are shared by these
newcomers. 1t is a serious and danger
Gus thing for any man to tear loose
from the soil; from the region in whcih
he and his forbears have taken root and
to be transpianted into new land. He
should receive all possible aid in that
new land; and the aid can be rendered
him most effectively by those who can
appeal to him on the ground of spiritual
kinship.
Therefore the Lutheran church can
do most In helping upwards and on
wards so many of the newcomers to our
shores: and it seems to me that it
should be. / am tempted to say, Well

Geological researches have been car
ried on in eastern Asia A project
which has been recommended and
which may be approved by the insti-
tuition next year is the investigation in
the ''Lithonia district in Georgia Of
subterranean temperatures, to correct
the present lack of any trustworthy in
dex o. the normal downward increase
of temperature in the earth. For this
purpose an estimate has been submit
ted and recommendation made for its
adoption, of boring in granite to the
depth of 5000 feet at a cost of $l1O,O00.
The cost of boring 10000 feet, it is add
ed, would be prohibitiye.
The report makes extended ObserVa-
tons on the subject Of the solar re-
sarches. on which preliminary work al
ready has begun at Mount Wilson, Cal.
The propect for solar observatory
there already has been approved the
conclusion being expressed that Mount
Wilson meets in very remarkable de-
gree the requirements of site for a
solar observatory. The work at high
er attitudes than that, if needed, at all,
it is explained could be completed in
two or three summers by expeditions
equipped with portable outfit erected
at an altitude of from $4,000 to $1,000.
The report says that DR.. S. P, Langley,
who has been making solar observa-
tons. has offered reasons to believe
that an actual change in the amount of
heat emitted by the sun occurred in
March, 1908, and that is such a change
is actually established by carrying on
these observations at a higher altitude
the result would have an important
bearing on many questions relating to
the earth and would be of vital inter
est in its relationship to the solar con-
stitution.'
