HORSES ARE GOOD COUNTERS
CNew York Ameriean)

A Russian doctor has spent a great
deal of time finding out what animals
can count and has found that horses
can count more numbers than any other
animals. He states that a parrot can
count four. a cat six. crows ten and some
few dogs twenty. But he found horses
that could count more than this.
One would pillow across a field twenty
times and would then stop and rest, but
it never stopped at nineteen OF twenty
one; always Just twenty. Another horse
always counted the miles along the road
BY the white mile posts that were set up
and stopped every twenty-five miles, as
Il had been taught TO do, to be fed.

A NEW SOUTH AFRICAN ROAD.
Formally Opened, and Promises Much
to the Country.

JOHANNESBURG, May 6-South
Africa has new railroad system of
more than local interest The new line
from Klerksdorp to Fourteen Streams
has been formally opened by the earl of
Selbourne. Its completion marks one
of the most important stages in the
policy of railway development which
Lord Miner initiated after the close of
the war.
After all the heated discussion of the
last th%e years as to the best use of
the funds available for such purpose
there has never been any question of
the vital Importance of this particular
scheme. The new line connects the
main route from Cape Town to the
north with the coal fields of the Trans
vaal and Natal, 1t brings Johannes
burg into direct communication with
Kimberley. 1t shortens the route be-
tween Cape Town and the Rand by 60
miles. Finally, it brings Rhodesia with
in comparatively easy reach, not only
of the Transvaal, but of the ports of
Durham and Lourence Marques. The
wearisome trip round by way of Maau-
poort and De Aar, so familiar to the
business men of South Africa, is now
thing of the past.
The l44 miles of new railway has
taken almost exactly twelve months
to build, which, in view of the terrible
lack of labor, represents very credit.
able achievement for the authorities of
the central South African railways.

covered. During January Prince Kos
