movement of the spinal column of the
horse in motion. There are no pictures
extant which show this unknown phase
OF the moving horse Ordinary side
views have been taken by numerous
investigators, but up to the present no
top or overhead views have been Sc
cured. One of the accompanying IL
lustrations depicts M. s. H. Chubb, sus-
pended fifty feet or more in the air in
a narrow rope sling seat, obtaining
some unusual snapshots of a running
horse below. Another of the pictures
shows the interesting results obtained
from one of these overhead photographs
clearly outlining the lateral movement
OF the spinal column of the running
horse. In order to follow the movement
OF the spine, so that it would be per-
fectly visible on a Photographic plate.
white line was painted along the
vertebral column. After this operation
had been completed the photographer
was hoisted some thirty feet in the air.
To allow free control of the hands the
weight of the camera box was held by
two cords attached to an overpulley.
The horse, an ex-raeer, hitched to
sulky, was then driven beneath at full
speed along the roadway. At the
crucial moment, when the animal an
peared on the reflected mirror of the
camera above, the shutter was sprung.
After the series of overhead photos had
been studied to advantage, the white
mark along the back affording clue
to the changes in position of the spine
of rapidly moving horse, and after
consulting large number of the best
slde-view pictures taken of Sysonby in
life on the race track, the final charac
terlstic pose and correct running posi-
ton, as here pictured, were determined
upon.
As direct result of the overhead
pictures taken, the spine is curved some
two inches to the right in the mounted
skeleton. Another of the accompany
ing illustrations shows spirited model
of the life appearance of Sysoniby in
action, executed by Mr. Irwin Christ
man, of the museum staff, based on the
skeleton mount. This has been cast in |
bronze and presented as a gift to Mr. |
Keene by Professor Osborn.

THE SEA HATE.

Soft it sings in shining ripples, glat
beneath the golden day,
With laugh among the dune grass
as it filings its jewel spray;
But I hate it's smiles and whispers
for beneath the white, curled
crests
Lies the great black heart of terror
and the wrath that never rests.
Hidden from the blessed daylight, in
its caves it heaves and throbs,
With dreadful choking gurgle and a
sound of dying sobs;
And the long dark trailing seaweed,
lifted on it's ebb and flow,
Is like hair of drowned women whelm-
ed within the undertow.
the pale green dusks of twi-
light, from the rolling mystic line.
Comes a chant of fear and beauty,
calling sweet to me and mine.
But I flee the siren music of the cruel
Turing flood,
For it's doom is in its message and
the answer in my blood.

after his death made solicitations,
seconded by Mr.. Frank K. Sturgis, of
the Coney Island Jockey Club, to Mr..
Keene, to obtain the body for exhibit
tion purposes. Mr.. Keene consented to
present the skeleton of his victorious
and favorite racer, together with the
sum of $4,000 for preparing it for ex-
hibitiOn. Two years, at intervals, have
been devoted to the critical and patient
task of mounting the skeleton, re-
markable and delicate piece of fossil
engineering skilfully performed by Mr..
s. Fl. Chubb. Professor Osborn has in
trOdueed a decided innovation and
radical departure from the traditional
methods hitherto employed in this class
of work by representing the skeleton
in motion at full sped. This realistic
style of mounting has never been ae-
complished before. The pose selected
was the brief moment of time in the
gait of the swift-running horse when
all four feet are clear of the ground,
and it has brought out all the beauty
of the wonderful mechanism of the
animal. The spirited mount is of ex-
ceptional scientific interest as a museum

.Perpetuatins a Famous Racehorse


Sysonby, the famous race horse owned
by Mr.. James R. Keene, considered the
most perfect type of the American
thoroughbred, and the speediest runner
of recent times, is to be royalty per-
petuated in public memory. His skel-
eton has just been mounted at the
American Museum of Natural History,
and during the forthcoming Horse Show
at the Madison Square Garden, Profess
sOr H. T. Osborn will give an exhibition
and special reception in honor of Sy-
sonby. Mr.. Keene and all the promi-
nent turfmen, breeders, wellknOwn
whips, patrons, and students of the
horse will be invited. Professor Osborn
win show at the same time some of the
remarkable discoveries made by the
Museum and Whitney expeditions in
: arch of fossil horses in the western
parts of the United States. A display
viii be made illustrating the origin and
evolution of the horse, with half-dozan
or more rare and complete skeletons
found of fossil horses, from the first
little four-t Oed creature, sixteen inches
high, who lived three million years ago,
The ancestor of the blue-ribbon high
stopper of to-day, down to Sysonby, the
climax of the modern racer.
Sysonby was imported from England,
and foaled at Mr. Keene's Castleton
breeding farm in Kentucky, in 1902,
being the SON of Melton by Optime. In
his brief career Sysonby, as a two and
three year old, captured all the rich
turf classics of his day, being a victor,
in an easy fashion, of fourteen out of
fifteen races he started in, and winning
nearly 100000, one of the largest
amounts ever won by single horse in
America. His first race was at Bright
on Beach, July IA, 1904, and his last
public appearance was on September 9,
1905, at Sheepshead Bay, where he died,
at the age of four years, on July II,
1906.
For the fortunate and noteworthy
acquisition of the valuable skeleton of
this wonderful racing machine thanks
are due mainly to Professor Henry F.
Osborn, the President and Curator Of
Vertebrate Paleontology in the Amerl-
can Museum of Natural History. Pro-
fessor Osborn, recognizing that Sysop-
by, more than any other horse of the
present generation, represented type
of the most highly bred American race
horse, and possessing extraordinary
limb and frame structure and phenom-
email speed mechanism, would therefore
make superb study specimen, shortly

"Mr. Geo. 7. Bryan left yesterday

him his little soy, who was bitten a

ed ITO have had hydrophobia. The trip
was made in response to a telegram
From the specialists Of the Pasteur
Institute saying that this was the
wisest policy since ali analysis Of the
dogs brain showed that it had in all
probability hydrophobia.
"The stray dog bit the child sever.
al days ago and Immediately after
the accident the animal was put in
close confinement. After about three
days it died and the head was promrt-
~ sent to Atlanta. It is the hope Of

Recent Theatsr Fires and the Loss OF

At Boyertown, Pa, on Jan. l4.-At
least 1856 men, women and children
were burned or trampled to death and
rs injured in fire which swept the
Rhoades Opera House here last night,
following the explosion Of q gas tank
used in q moving picture machine.
More that 900 persons perished in
the Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago
on Dec. 30, 1908. a few Of the VIC
Tins were burned to death, scores
suffocated by gas, while hundreds
were trampled to death in the mad
rush TO reach the exits. 1t Is believ-
ed that an electric light wire near the
bottom Of piece Of drop scenery
suddenly grounded and started the
flames,
The worst previous theater fire In
the United States was the one In
which oonway's Brooklyn Theater
was destroyed with loss Of 295 lives.
AS usual, panic reigned and scores who
might have been saved were trampled
or died fighting to escape. There was
nothing with which TO fight the flames
in the theater itself. The fire occur
ed on Dec. 5, 1878. Kate Claxton was
playing 1.-THE Two Orphans and the
house was crowded.
In the great Vienna disaster on
Dec. 8, 1881, the Ring Theater burned
and 300 lives were lost. Again panic
and improper precaution were res
ponsible for the greatest part Of the
loss Of live. AS In the Brooklyn thea

EXCEPT FOR THE PROMPTNEss
OF THE FIRE COMPANY ONE
HALE THE BUSINESS POR-
TI0N WOULD HAVE
BURNED.
The Water Works Company Gave
Good Pressure For Two Streams
The Loss Was Light-Ro
Insurance on The Bak-
ing Department.

What promised to be the biggest
fire Mexico has ever had was averted
by the promptness Of the Mexico Fire
Company and the efficiency OF the
Water Works Company,
at 1880 Friday afternoon the Brown
Bakery in the rear Of the Missouri
Printing Company adjoining the
Central Hotel was found to be in
flames. Inside Of five minutes the
Fire Company had responded and two
streams were on the fire with a
splendid pressure from the water
works. The loss to the bakery and
building will be something like two
or three thousand dollars.
The Missouri Printing Company
was damaged little on account OF
having to move portion Of its stock,
as was also WI. Oraddock who suffered
slightly from the smoke and water.
A good breeze was blowing and ex-
cept for the brisk work Of the Fire
Company al least half OF the business
portion of the city would have been
destroyed.
The fire was discovered by e. G..
Smith, clerk for w. L. Craddock, who
Immediately turned in an alarm. Just
how the fire originated is not definitely
known, but 1t is thought TO have
started from the wood which was
piled under the oven becoming too
hot and catching fire.
The damage to A. O. Barnes and
Son. who owned the bakery, consisted
In the loss Of about fifteen hundred OF
two thousand pounds OF flour and much
cooked goods, besides the oven and
baking utensils being nearly ruined
The building which belonged to the
Hord estate was entirely covered by
insurance, while the loss to A. O.
Barnes and Son will amount to severa
hundred dollars with no insurance.
