Horses and Music.

Regimental horses have been the
subjects Of musical tests, and nearly
all enjoyed the experience, only a very
small percentage of the animals re-
naming Indifferent to sweet harmo-
MES, while equally few showed active
dislike. The great majority were
soothed, inspirited or excited by music.
Most Of the horses. like the war char
gers one may suppose them to be, en-
joyed the bugle above any other instru'
ment and nelghed CALAMITY when 1t was
sounded. but thoroughbreds and colts
generally were found to prefer the
shrill treble of the fife. which reused
them to great and sometimes unman-
ageable enthusiasm. This was the
more significant because the fife was
an unfamiliar instrument to them, not
being generally used, as Is the bugle in
the French army.-Paris Cor. London

sInauIarIy Adapted to lite Lifes o.
Aerial Piracy.
No one could fail TO be struck with
the slngularly perfect adaptation OF the
dragon ny's structure to life Of aerial
piracy. The four wings are large and
in proportion to their weight enormous
ly strong. Each is supported by won
derfully arranged network OF slender
ribs, which give the necessary rigidity
to the thin, transparent membrane
forming its basis. The muscles by
which the wings are moved are mass
i've and powerful and are so arranged
among themselves that me animal is
capable Of steering It's course with an
unerring accuracy which any bird
might envy. In this power It is largely
aided by marvellous keenness OF
sight. for in addition to the two great
gorgeously colored compound eyes
which make up so much OF the head
the insect possesses three smaller sim
pie" eyes. making FIVE eyes In all. The
prey when overtaken is seized and de-
voured by means OF powerful, sharply
toothed jaws.
An animal which lives such an ac-
tive life naturally requires a very per-
feet breathing apparatus, and this is
amply provided by a system Of holes
on the sides Of the body which open
into an elaborate network Of air tubes.
supplying every part OF the system.
The air In these tubes is constantly
renewed by the regular compression
and dilatation Of the body by special
muscles. Journal

Owing to the revolution of the earth
the sun seems to make Its daily cir
cult around us, which Of course is not
the case. But the sun is revolving
about its center quite as truly as the
earth is. 1t was one Of the conceptions
Of that most remarkable man, Sir John
Herschel. that the whole solar system
had a motion in space and was ad
vancing toward a point In the heavens
near the star Hercules. Sir Johns con
ception-as bold an Idea as ever en-
tered the human minds now gener
ally accepted by astronomers, and the
opinion is quite universal among then
that the entire system is tracing out {
curvilinear path In space, a cours'
around some mighty center, probably
at Hercules.

WORK IN AGRICULTURE
AT DELAWARE COLLEGE

fore the people Of the State in deslr
able manner.
Experiment Station.
Although the farm came into our pos
session comparatively late to plan a
satisfactory seasons work. a number
of experiments have been successfully
carried out. The experiment in top
dressing grass lands was satisfactory,
although the season was much against
this kind of work. The experiment
with varieties of cowpeas and soy
beans indicated that it would be pos
sible for farmers to grow certain varie-
ties Of soy beans for seed at a large
profit, not only for seed, but also for
feeding purposes. If the farmers could
appreciate the value of soy beans for
hay as well as for grain, and make a
business of growing them, they would
no doubt save large part OF the
money they now spend for heterogeneous
foods
The station is making an extensive
test with different varieties of wheat
different varieties of crimson clover
and other grains, such as winter oats,
barley, and spells. There is also IN
progress a number of cooperative eN-
periments with alfalfa. We are find
ing that the farm is very wet, and be-
fore much more experimental work can
be done in the field set aside for the
work of the agronomist, it will have TO
be UNDETERMINED We are looking Tor
ward to the time when we shall have
additional funds for this work, as well
as for farm buildings better suited TO
the needs Of the college and station
than those which we now have. The
work of equipping the farm is pro-
crossing as fast as possible, and In
some branches the equipment is now
complete.

The subjoined report was made by
the agricultural committee, of which
George G. Kerr is chairman. to the
Board Of Trustees of Delaware Col
lege. at meeting held on January %.
at the college.
Gentlemen: Since the last regular
meeting Of the board much has been
accomplished in the agricultural de-
partment of the college. Considerable
effort has been made TO advertise the
agricultural courses. and to interest
not only young men in the advantages
offered by the college for an agricul-
tural education. but those who are ac-
tually engaged in farming, as well. The
results thus far obtained have been
quite satisfactory, seven students
registered in the various agricultural
courses at the beginning of the year.
We have every reason 10 believe that
the Farmers Short Course Of two
weeks. which begins the middle OF
February, will be a success, although,
of course, we cannot expect any large
numbers. The work is new to our
constituents, and it will be some time
before the efforts that are now being
made will yield satisfactory returns.
There is a great need for more
systematic college extension work than
is now possible with our present facili-
ties. We are constantly receiving re-
quests TO visit farms to make sugges-
tons and give advice in a way that II
is impossible to do BY correspondence
Our committee feels that If we had a
small State appropriation to carry on
this work much good would be accom-
plished. not only to the farms thus
visited and the people met in this way
but it would also bring the college be-

CANADA TAKING GOLD.
Bumper Crops And Good Times The
Reason.

NEW YORK, July 31.-The New
York agency of the Bank OF Montreal
sent an additional $750,000 in gold to
Canada yesterday bringing the total
sent over the border during the last
two weeks Up to $3,55O,0OO. A promi-
nent Canadian banker in New York
said that these shipments of gold to
Canada at this time. were the results
Of the sharp demand for money over
the border, where, bumper crops are
promised and little business reaction
has been felt.
The Canadian banks, he explained,
have secured large balances in New
York and as the end of the month ap-
proaches and it became necessary to
increase their reserves, the call on
New York for cash had put the pri-
ces of exchange to such point that
it was cheaper to bring the hard mo-
ney from here than to sell on ex-
change.

| CHICAGO, July 3l.--The RecorC
Herald today says: Special agents o.
the government are in Chicago try
ling TO collect evidence to substanti,
ate proceedings for the disruption OF
the Hartman systems OF railroads up
on the grounds that the combination
is in violation OF the Sherman anti.
TRUST act.
For more than a week Ralph NJ.
Mckenzie, who did a great deal Of
the preliminary work in the investi
cation which the Interstate Commerce
Commission made into the affairs OF
the Hartman railroads has been in
dustriously working among the big
shippers with a view OF ascertaining
how the Hartman combination has
been used, If used at all, TO stihe com.
petition and restrain trade. On
Special Agent McKenzie's new calling
list are all OF the traffic men OF the
big industries in the city.
1t is understood that the evidence
is desired for use in connection with
a suit to be begun by the government
which will be similar to the Northern
Securities Company which resulted in
the disruption of the Hill roads, as
far as building company is concern
ed.
The special agents work is directed
toward getting information from the
shippers with respect to conditions
before the combination OF the Union
Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Ore.
gon Short Line and the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation Company and
comparison between those conditions
and conditions which exist today. To
the men upon which he has called Mr..
Mckenzie had not disclosed his pur-
pose further than to say that he is
trying to collect evidence for use in
a suit to disrupt the Hartman combi-
nation. 1t is fully understood by the
department OF Justice officials here
that President Roosevelt has not
dropped his fight against the Harri-
man combination of railroads.
