Horns on Horses Skull.

A recently acquired abnormaIty OF
the British museum is the skull of an
English horse showing a pair Of
rudimentary horns on the forehead.
Older specimens are a portion of a
similar skull with the horns and mod
els Of tho foreheads OF two thorough
breds having horns. The skin extends
uniformly over the horns, with no sign
Of thickening or hardening. Just what
these hornlike growths signify is per-
picking naturalists. as none of the an
cestral horses or Immediately related
species were horned animals, and if
there is no hereditary influence it is
remarkable that SO many freak ap-
pendages should appear in the same
place.

That was a wallop all right for the
Athletics yesterday and If 1t can be re-
peated today the Sox may look forward
with great hopes for the rest of tail
end games. RUDE Waddell looked good
to the Sox as they landed his curves
and punched the ball far and wide for
a total of fifteen hits and eight runs.
Walsh on the other hand pitched
good fair game as he always does when
he can be shown that the team behind
him is going to win. 1t is funny what
a difference that makes TO the big
twirler, but 1t is a fact as his record
this year will show. If the game is
close and the Sox once get behind,
watch how quick Jones changes pitch
ers when Walsh is in the box. But
yesterday. although touched up for ten
hits. he kept going all the time and
held the runs down. The Athletics
were In a slump for keeps and the new
men on the team, Nicholas and Old
ring. Were overcome by the cheering
Of the crowd and played like ANA
tuers. These men never figured before
in a fight for pennant, and although
they have done much to land the team
near the top. they are now doing just
as much to cast them down again.
Plank or Dygert in today's game may
change the outlook some, although
Smith and White can both pitch a vic
tory.

uaeful Candle Nut

One Of the oldest nuts in the world
is the candle nut, which grows in the
Pacific islands The name is derived
from the fact that the kernel is so full
of oil that when dried it can be stuck
in a reed and used as a candle. The
natives of Hawaii roast these nuts,
and after removing the she'll reduce
the kernel to paste. which. when
seasoned with salt and pepper, is re
ported as making an appetizing dish.
The husk of the nuts and the gum
which exudes from the tree have me
dicinal values, while the burned shell
is used in making an indehbIe ink
with which tattooing IS done.-Ameri-

Plan Excavations At memphIs.

An appeal is being made in England
for funds to undertake the great task
of excavating the ruins of Memphis
1t is expected that England viii now
do for Memphis what the French gov
eminent has done for Delphia and the
Germans for Olympia. The sites of the
four great temples are plainly mark
ed, so that exploration can begin at
once. This mass OF ruins covers 100
acres. as much as the whole of the
site at Karnak. and it is estimated
that $4,000 will be needed annually
for fifteen years to accomplish the
work Important material is believed
TO lie within a few yards Of the sur.
face, so that results should be reach
cd promptly.

BRISCoE SAYS HORSE MUST GO
Auto Man Predicts Mays Substitution
by Machine Now n Thing of
Business.

More opportunities are offered for the
promoter along automobile lines than In
any other field today said Benjamin
Briscoe, president OF the American Motor
Car Manufacturers association and presl-
dent and general manager of the MaxwellS
Briscoe company manufacturers of Max
we'll machine, who is in Omaha. II have
been looking over the west with a view of
investigating the field and have found
places so numerous that II is really be-
wildering, as one does not know which ia
the best. The mines all need motor cars.
as those situated ten and twenty miles
from the railroads are burning up their
money by the use OF mules Towns st-
uated of the railroad need a motor service,
for that is the cheapest and best.
THE most interesting feature of automo-
billing today is It's development in a COM
mercial way, both for freight and passen-
ger service. For the life Of me- 1 cannot
see what is going TO prevent the passage
OF the horse within the next Ave, years.
The taKimeter has already nearly driven
him from the streets OF Paris and today
there are $500 taximeters in use. COM
pany Is being organized TO put them on
the streets Of New York. Taximeter means
measuring the distance you ride. think
the price for New York will be 40 cents for
the first half mile and cents for each
eighth of a mile thereafter making the
mile 60 cents and two miles 81.
"The possibility Of the motor trucks and
the opportunities offered for the develop
ment OF the use OF them in the west is
enormous. They would cost less than one
half what the mules cost at the mines.
Automobile lines will soon be developed
where people formerly worked for the troll
| ley.
''The problem Is now. and has been for
some time, 70 supply automobiles, but SO
many new factories are being built that
new feids will have 10 be developed for
their use. We are building $500 auto
mobiles this year and sold just that many
70 our dealers, but these dealers are not
satisfied with that and are selling twice as
many as they have, and we are working
IN double shifts to try to supply the de-
mand."

nearly 1900 short Of a week ago, The
quality was very good as rule, the Of
ferings including several loads OF very
choice beeves.
Partly on account OF the moderate re-
ceipts and partly owing to the more ia
vorable tone TO advices from eastern mar
kets, the trade opened out in good sea-
son, with prices steady to a shade stronger
than yesterday ali around. Eastern butch
ers were very much In evidence, while local
dressed beef men all apparently had good
orders to fill, and the tone to the market
was healthy and strong from start to
finish.
There were only about forty-fve loads
of cows and heifers here. and with the
usual active inquiry from both packers and
prices steady to a shade stronger than yes
terday for all decent offerings. Old, thin,
canning cows have been selling very
poorly for a few days past and there was
no Improvement in the situation today
Veal calves were in liberal supply and
prices anywhere from steady to sc lower
than last week. The market for bulls
stays, etc, was quotably unchanged.
AS has been the case for several days
past, the fresh offerings Of stocker and
feeder cattle were comparatively light, and
as both yard traders and country buyers
showed a disposition TO take hold freely
the market ruled tolerably active, wAth
prices fully steady all around. There has
been a better inquiry the last day or two
for good lightweight stun, but low-grade
/ stock cattle are still very unsatisfactory
