When Ferdinand de l.csseps began
to talk OF cutting the Suez Canal no
one believed him. and. as a matter Of

In recent number Of the Saturday
Evening Post, Rene Bache tells about
The most dangerous animal in the
world-a creature which annually
kills and mains more human beings
than are slain or injured by any other
beast" This dangerous, this terrible
animal il the horse.
One Of the accident insurance com
panies recently published statement
showing that out OF one hundred av-
erage accidents coused by the horse.
the railroad. the automobile and the
bicycle. eighty-two are attributable TO
the equine brute. nine to the railroad.
five to the motor car and four to the
silent wheel" More than sixteen
times aa many average accidents are
caused by horses than by automobiles.
II Is estimated that horses are &C.
countable. directly or indirectly. for
something like 100000 more or less
serious mishaps in the United States
In the course of year. Of which nearly
5000 result in death. 1t Is well said
that this loss of life equals that which
might occur In considerable battle
Owing to the great usefulness OF the
horse and their familiarity with him.
people fail To take much serious ac-
count Of injuries caused by these ami
mails. They are, noted at the time they
occur, but hey are accepted as Of
course and are soon forgotten. Auto
mobiles and railroad accidents. on the
other hand. are remembered for long
time; and. particularly those connected
with automobiles are made the basis
for arguments in favor of restrictive
legislation. One thinks little. how.
ever, Of enacting laws OF that kind to
regulate the use OF horses or vehicles
drawn by those animals.-Denver Re.
