HORSES OF THE WORLD.

The empire of Russia Is. rich In
horses. According to the statistics of
the department OF agriculture at
Washington. there are on earth co.
ASS, 900 horses, of which Russia alone
has Ss.0o0.OOo. averaging rs horses
per 100 inhabitants.
The European regions, where they
are most numerous are the govern
ments of Samara. Orenburg and As
trakhan. In Asia, according to the
Bulletin du Comite de l'Asia Fran
caise (Paris). they are most numer-
GUS in the Kirghese steppes and the
Buriat countries.
Ninety per cent of the horses are In
the possession of the rural population.
In Asia, hundreds OF thousands OF
horses are pastured on the immense
steppes. They are sturdy and very
brave, small, with short hut somewhat
heavy feet. broad breasts and broad
shoulders. They are the pets OF the
horsemen and fondly loved.
The best horses are the Kirghese
and Bachire races crossed, raised
near the Ural mountains. Among the
Turkomans of 'Turkestan, besides the
Kirghesan horses, the Turkoman and
Texan races are common. the latter
being blooded horses. They are beau
tiful and very racetul, eight and
fleet with long delicate legs and del
icate necks, and with their bodies
finely formed. Their movements are
exceedingly supple. D. H.'.
The height and the blood of the
Turkoman race of horses make them
essentially fit for improving the Kirg-
hesan variety. which is related to
them. By crossing the Kirghesan and
Turkoman races the Karabair is OBJ
tanned. considered in Asia, the war
horse par excellence.

But II the farmers OF the United

NEW VOLCANIC ISLAND.

Karl Hansen. master-at-arms on
the revenue cutter Perry. one of a
party of five who surveyed the islanJ
that was recently discovered in Behr-
ing sea. is in the city. says the Ore
gon Daily Journal. The island is sit
uated In the Behring sea. 45 miles
southeast of Dutch Harbor Alaska
1t was tossed up in the Arctic seas by
a suhterranean movement. which
probably took place about the time of
the San Francisco earthquake. -
The island was discovered in June
by the crew of the United States reve-
nGe cutter Perry. which was coastins
in the Rehring sea. 1t has been
named Perry island In honor Of the
vessel by which twas discovered. a
party of five officers from the cutter
surveyed the island soon after it gwas
discovered, Eahd made AM official re.
port of their discoveries to the proper
officials ar Washington city.
Hansen is in Portland on a 1O-days'
leave Of absence from the revenue
cutter, He declares that the strange
island rose from the waters of Behring
sea at almost the. same time, that thu
seismic disturbance at san Francisco
occurred. A scientific Investigation
into the cause Of its sudden appear.
anee has been postponed because OF
the ice barriers that surround it
However, it will be resumed mex,
summer. and scientists declare tha,
the appearance of the island is due
primarily to the seismic disturbance
which extended along the entire Pacl.
fic coast.
The island is a mass of lava, 45C
feet high and 700 feet in length at II,
base. 1t is honeycombed with huge
crevices and fissures from which issu.
constant streams of sulphurous smoke
The sides Of the fissures and the Iava
adjoining for several inches are GOV
cred with a coating Of sulphur. ..
