Mare Saved Her Colt.

From the Houston Chronicle.
One of the most remarkable instances Of
animal sagacity that ever came to light in
this section is related by Engineer James
PARROT and Conductor Frank King.
When the southbound passenger train
was near Hallsburg a mare suddenly
dashed up the track toward the train. rum
ming swiftly. 1t looked as II she would
run right into the engine. and the air
brakes were quickly applied. slowing the
train down to six seven miles hour.
Engineer PARROT thought the mare was
blinded by the headlight, but the train was
no sooner slowed down than the mare
turned about and went from the train.
keeping right down the tracks and making
ii impossible to run fast lest the animal be
struck.
The mare went straight to a bridge over
a creek and when within a short distance
of the bridge of the railway 1t was discov-
cred that the colt of the mare had fallen
with all OF its feet through the bridge.
placing 1t where 1t would have been killed
had not the mare literally tagged the train.
The mare stopped and began whlnnylng.
and the train stopped also. Engineer Par
rott. the fireman and some of the pas
sengers got off and. relieving the colt. left
the mare TO trot off with her young
proud peacock. Those who witnessed
the occurrence say it was wonderful.

Facts About the Ocean,
From Tit-Bits.

FROM
The oceans occupy three-fourths Of lie
surface of the earth. A mile down in the
sea the water has a pressure OF a ton to
every square inch. II box feet deep
was filled with sea water. which was then
allowed to evaporate. there would be two
inches of salt left in the bottom Of the box
Taking the average depth OF the ocean to
be three miles, there would be q layer of
salt 40 feet thick covering the bottom In
case all the water should evaporate. In
many places, especially in the far north,
the water freezes from the bottom up
ward.
Waves are deceptive things To look at
them one would gather the impression that
the whole water travelled This. however,
is not So The water stays in the same
place. but the motion goes on In great
storms waves are sometimes forty feet
high. and their crests travel fifty miles an
hour. The base of wave dhe distance
from valley to valley Is usually consid-
cred as being fifteen times the height OF
the wave. Therefore a wave twenty-five
feet high would have a base extending 375
feet The force of waves breaking on the
shore is seventeen tons to the square inch.

The Erie Canal.

from tAe CentuTy.
When the New York Central paraileled
the Erie canal. over fifty years ago, it
looked very much as II canals were a thing
Of the past When the West Shore hemmed
it in on the other side canals had fallen in
public opinion to the raging canawl'' Of
the humorists. But the truth is. the Erie
did not rage at all. It kept growing
slowly, as BELTS canal. When it was
completed in 1925 it was four feet deep and
forty feet wide; IN 1885 1t was deepened to
six feet and took barges Of 24O tons burden
Later it was given another foot. and was
enlarged to a width Of seventy feet at the
top and flfty-siX feet at the bottom and
there 1t remained. And while the railroads
competed strenuously. its boats kept ap-
pearing at Buffalo and hauling the treasure
by the only and original route to the sea-
AS late as 1897 1t is said to have carried as
much through freight as did these two
trunk lines together. and it kept on doing
It. despite the long-drawn jeers Of locomo-
tves.
