that accident insurance companies

Dogs around Blacksmith Shops.

Two or three dogs are nearly al
ways to be found loaing about every
blacksmith shop. This fact is so
well recognized that detectives when
sent out after valuable dogs that
have been lost invariably visit first
all the blacksmith shops in the neigh
bOrhOod. The reason why dogs visit
the blacksmith shops is that they
love inordinately the odOr and the
taste of burning hoofs. They sniff
the odor as a woman sniffs a rose,
and they eat the hoof parings as
gourmet eats tru1les. s.-Minneapolis

Arctic Dog Life.

Nowhere in the world has the dog
such unrestricted right of way as In
our most northerly possession
Alaska. In winter, when the more
than so, 900 square miles of territory
are sealed up in solid ice, dogs are
almost the sole means OF getting
from place to place-in fact, they
seem necessary to life itself.
The aristocrats of Arctic dog life
are the mail teams in the service of
the United States Government. They
are to-day a superior breed to the
dogs employed some half dozen
years ago before great gold discoV-
cries demanded increased mail ser

Valuable East African Forest.

The Colonial Office recently sent
out an expert to report on the Ken
la forest, in the East Africa prOtec-
torate. He finds the forest extends
2S7 miles long by eight miles broad,
and comprises 100000 acres of
timber. Taking the average value
of the 215d. per cubic foot, this
works out to R23 per acre, or a total
value for the whole forest of $780,

Smokeless Coal.

A London inventor claims TO have
discovered a process for producing
umokeless coal, apparently by distil-
lRtion of coal at a low temperature.
This, after distillstion, is said to de-
posit very brilliant substance, the
heating properties Of which are far
greater than those OF the original
coal, and which Is absolutely free
from smoke and dirt. The inventor
contends that efforts to overcome the
smoke plague have hitherto been un-
successful because they have been
made in the wrong direction, and
that by the extraction OF the smoke
producing material in coal before be-
ing burned, he has been successful
in producing a smOkeless coal.

Prince Bismarck.

Bismarck himself, was a tremen-
dous smoker, eater, and dTinker, and
would stride about the house fol-
lowed by his dogs. The pipes and
long cigars which he smoked In 8
day would have killed an ordinary
nan. He loved to pour into a huge
stein a bottle of champagne and then
a bottle of porter, and drink the
whole mixture off at a single draft.
Bismarck said of himself: IF there
we're many eaters like me in Prussia
the state could not exist. l should

TUsKLEss ELEPHANTS.
CeylOn the Only Part of the World
Where They Exist.

What a sight for a Ceylon elephant
hunter would be the first view of a
herd OF African elephants tus-
kers! It is a singular thing that
Ceylon is the only part of the world
where the male elephants have no
tusks; they have miserable little
grubbers projecting two or three
inches from the upper jaw and in
clining downward.
Nothing produces either ivory or
horn in fine specimens thrOugout
Ceylon. Although some of the buff
faloes have tOlerably fine heads, they
will not bear a comparison with
those OF other countries. The horns
OF the native cattle are not above
four inches IN length.
The elk and the spotted deers ant
lers are small compared with deer
Of their size In India. This is more
singular. as 1t is evident from the
geological formation that at some re-
mote period Ceylon was not an is
land. but formed a portion of the
main land. 1t is thought there must
be elements wanting In the Ceylon
