The Father of West Point,

George Washington must be given
the credit Of causing the first steps to
be taken toward the founding of a ma
tional military academy. In 1874, while
serving his second term as president,
Washington succeeded in having con-
gress create the grade of cadet in the
army. West Point was chosen as the
best army post at which cadets could
be trained, for the reason that it was
then the most important station of the
artillerists and engineers. The cadets
Of those days did not pass entrance
examinations, and the standard Of pro-
ficiency in studies did not amount to
the tenth part Of what is exacted now
adays. A smattering Of engineering
mathematics and artillery practice was
all that was deemed necessary = ST.

OUR GLOBES CAPACITY.
The Time When the Earth Will Be
Fully Peopled.

! TIC iIttS fHSI1 the Eartn Will BE
Fully Peopled.
Professor Ravenstein of the Royal
Geographical society estimates that
the fertile lands Of the globe amount
to 2S,OOOO00 square miles, the steppes
to 100000 and the deserts to 1,OOO,-
OOO
Fixing 207 persons to the square mile
for fertile lands, ten for steppes and
one for deserts as the greatest popula-
ton that the earth could properly
nourish, the professor arrives at the
conclusion that when the number of
inhabitants reaches about 6,OOO,00O,O0O
the earth will be peopled to it's full
capacity. At present it contains some
what more than one-quarter of that
number.
If the rate of increase shown by the
latest census statistics should be uni
formly maintained, Professor Raven
stein shows that the globe would be
fully peopled about the year 2O72.-

REMARKABLE HORSES.
Some Clever Animals and a Wonderful
New ENGLAND Mao

In his letters to Lord Granville, pub
lished by the Royal Philosophical So
ciety, who was also greatly interested
in natural history, Smithson, the
founder of the Smithsonian institution
in America, says London Tit-Bits, re-
lates how the horse Of Alexander the
Great, Bucephalus, would at night on
hearing blast of the trumpet from
the soldiers on guard, showing the APP
proach of the enemy, run at great
speed to his masters tent and with his
teeth grab the sleeping monarch and
shake him until he sprang into the sad
die and galloped toward the enemy.
Also that the great Caliph Haroun-
alRaschic in the eighth century in
marching toward the forces of Queen
Irene Of Constantinople always had
number of trained Arabian horses

horses owned by Ishmael 1000 years
ago. thrown forward as scouts, which
from time to time returned to camp
reported the proximity Of the enemy.
Again, he relates the experiences of
the Portuguese explorer, Albuquerque.
who lived for many years in the six
teenth century on the island of ST..
Helena, where he and the natives
taught the herds of wild horses there
not only to dig potatoes, but to husk
corn, and these horses descended from
a herd taken there from Cappadocia
in the second century, as related by
the Greek historian, Philistorgius.
But, to come down to the present
day, it is related by a retired New
England clergyman whose sands of
life had nearly run out that one day on
leading his horse down through lane
to brook for drink the animal sud
denly halted and, turning it's head
around, grabbed up with it's teeth one
Of it's hind shoes which had just drop
ped off, and, holding it in it's mouth
with the nails dangling, it backed up
against a stone wall and clapped it on
to it's hoof and with a few violent
kicks nailed it on again.

A DANGEROUS Precedent.

The best case which l have seen of
law versus justice and common sense
is one which Montaigne relates as hav-
ing happened in his own day. Some
men were condemned to death for
murder. The judges were then inform
ed by the officers Of an inferior court
that certain persons in their custody
had confessed themselves guilty Of the
murder in question and had told so cir
cumstantial a tale that the fact was
placed beyond all doubt. Nevertheless,
it was deemed so bad a precedent to
revoke sentence and show that the
were delivered over to execution.-Lon-
don Graphic.
