Fat as a general rule comes from, the.

Of fat and sent by the blood to vari-
Gus parts of the body. This acoumu-

a comparatively short time, the heart
becomes incased in layer or coating

OF the first vital organs to become af-

WriGh. BROTHERS Tell How They
Constructed Their AcropIane.

For the first time since they frs
attracted attention the Wrights-Or
Vile and Wilbur have just told
some OF the secrets of their machine
and how they perfected It,
They began their experiments after
Li.ienthals death in 1896. Their
opinion as to what was needed was
ar air-ship that would not capsi2e

/ The chief trouble is the turmoil

is that the atmosphere runs in COM

is continually churning. 1t is thrown

And il moves not directly back
ana forth upon its coast line, like the
sea, but in whirling rotary masses
Some of these rise up hundreds OF
yards In a fairly strong wind the
air near the earth is more disturbed
that the whirlpool OF Niagara.
They tell how they adopted the
two-plane machine how they gave up
the tail, used rudder In front, their
idea being TO get machine that
could be balanced and steerei by re-
tlex action, as bicycle Is. In re-
markable experiments they found
that certain birds, like the buzzard,
were merely animated aeroplanes.

Shortage of Horses.

Dealers and breeders who are pre-

their opinion in the records of the

standing the financial disturbances
ana the fact that users of horses all
over the country were economizlng
in their purchases.
There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of market experts that the
shrinkage In arrivals during the year
was due to the fact that the nu, N6r
of marketable, or, rather, serviceable
horses had declined Farmers and
breeders seem to have discovered too
fully the expected results of the use
of the automobile and to have pred
fewer horses Of late years. Certain
