LEATHER SHOES FOR HORSES.
Are Preferred to Iron Ones by Horse
men In Australia.

A new market for leather, according
10 lie Franc Parleur. is to be found In
Australia, concerning which this
French journal says
In districts Of Australia the horse is
shod with leather instead of iron The
feet receive better support This novelty
Is employed only In regions where the
ground is permanently covered with
grass or fine sand. In country like
Australia, where stocks are sometimes
scarce and horseman may expert
ence great difficulty at a critical mo-
ment in finding horseshoe, such an
innovation is a useful novelty. With
extra shoes whose weight is a trifie,
and which can be fitted without trou-
bic, 1t is practicable to travel with
out fear Of the horse losing its shos
and being injured. Though the leather
shoe is more expensive than the iron
shoe, the higher price is repaid by
the advantages gained.
In some quarters the horses were
never shod with iron. Probably shoes,
Ike drivers, win be supplied before
long, thus avoiding the disagreeable
experience Of horses hoof wearing
too rapidly. 1t is not impossible the
innovation will soon extend to every
country where the nature of the soil
permits It to be used.

the train was still moving and he was

o'Connell began to lose track Of
time from that on. There was not a
ray of light In the car, all the food
there was, raw potatoes, was on the
other side Of a stout wire partition

there was none.
OConnelPs recollection OF his long
and horrible ride before he finally be-
held daylight again is blur relieved
by worries Of tortures.
Sometimes the train stopped, and
the imprisoned man could tell that
he was In city OF in country. Often
he was tortured by the sound of brake
men running over the top Of his car
by the voices Of passengers on plat
forms. and. worst of all, by the splash
of water gushing from water tanks

travelled in all parts of the globe, and
at one time was a captive for Is
months of cannibals, on the Island Of
New Guinea, northwest Of Australia,
near the equator.
In 1892 he Joined an English party,
consisting Of six young missionaries
and a number Of converted South Sea
islanders, which sailed from Australia
for New Guinea, and after reaching
the island steamed in a launch up Fly
river to an UNEMPLOYED region, 900
miles from its mouth.
They constructed their matched
huts and had settled down for their
work among the natives when they

out, DR.. Neville being the only sur.

The others were butchered as they
slept, and DR.. Neville attributes his
escape from death to the fact that he
was sleeping in hut apart from the
others and was not discovered until
the lust for blood had been satisfied.
The bodies of his companions were
roasted in great fires of wood, and
they were devoured by the hundred or
more savages, while he was compelled
to stand by and witness the hideous
orgy. After the feast, which lasted for
several days, the band resumed its
march from the smoking ruins of the
settlement with the lone captive, who
expected to be killed at any moment
and meet the fate Of his friends.
Far In the jungle the band finally
reached a village where DR.. Neville

blacks, leaped into the launch, which

The delay IN reorganiZing the army

trast to the promptness with which
European nations have profited by the
experiences of the Spanish, Boer and
Russian wars. Although the medical

New York.-The medical stan of the
Lincoln hospital, the Bronx, has a pa
tent of whom it Is proud. He is Ches-
ter A o'Connen of Bath Beach, II
years old and Ill with typhoid fever In
a virulent form.
The doctors agree he will not die
because he came to them after a seven
day ride in freight car, with neither
food nor water. Compared to that ex-
perience, they say, his typhoid Is mere
~ an episode.
OConnell is machinist, with an
iron constitution and a rowing dispo-
sition. Last winter, work being slack
in his native Brooklyn, he betook him
self south for the season. He travelled
by easy stages, principally on the
trucks of freight cars, and about the
first of the year brought up at Jack
sonville, Fla, where he found steady
employment and q climate that ap-
pealed to him.
A short time ago he decided to leave
there, SO went to a freight yard and
inquired about train schedules. He
learned that q train to his liking
would leave in three hours. In the
meantime, with a night ride on the
bumpers" ahead of him he decided to
sleep.
He looked about and found a re-
frigerator car full of potatoes with an
inviting open door. He entered it.,
found 1t cool and comfortable and so
stretched himself on the floor and
slept The car had a refrigerator in
stalled at one end. and, except for a
gateway partitioned OF by heavy wire
screening, was otherwise full of pota-

And then run out and play.

For it's great fun, you know.

Tremendous Rainfall.

The astonishing effects sometimes
produced by cloudbursts are well
known, but not many trustworthy
records Of the depth Of the rainfall
during such occurrences exist. The
following instance, therefore, possesses
much interest: On August 6, 1906.
during a thunderstorm in Fiji islands
the measured depth Of the rainfall in
a gauge elevated Is feet above the
ground was three feet one inch. The
rain continued 13 hours, and owing to
unmeasured overflow, the total amount
remains unknown, but it is estimated
to have been not less than IL inches.
