A Horses Toe Nails.

Few persons realize that a horses
hoof Is really the same thing as the
toe nails Of human beings or OF ami
mails having toes. The horn Of hoof
grows just as toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly In unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and it grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about
third of an inch month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe
of the hoof being the longest part, 1t
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For in
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
In from eleven to thirteen months.
while the heel will grew down In from
three to FIVE months. AS the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects in the
old gradually work down to where
they can be cut off, just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress

These skates were made from bones
of horses, figured and perforated to at

have been found at Moorhelds, in Fins

prehistoric times extended from Great

What we all fall in love with as a

with individually is, I believe, our

limits, our unlike and our opposite.
That this is so has long been more or

think, be almost demonstrated by sure

corkscrew Seed.

There are some seeds which "liter-
ally corkscrew themselves into the
ground" The most remarkable in
stance is perhaps that Of the Spina
pennata, beautiful south European
grass. The actual seed is small, with
a sharp point and stir short hairs
pointing backward. The top end Of
the seed is produced into fine, twist
ed, corkscrew-like rod, which is fol-
lowed by plain cylindrical portion,
ending in long, delicate feather, the
whole being more than foot In length.
Owing to this feather the seed falls to
the earth point downward and sticks
In the ground. But, even If the seed
should settle on its side, damp, by act
Ing on the hairs attached to 1t, causes
it to rise up till its point is downward
If a shower comes on or dew falls the
spiral unwinds, elongating itself up
ward Being covered, like the seed,
with backward pointing hairs, it usual
~ presses against some blade of grass
or other obssacle, with the result that
the seed is pressed into the ground
On the spiral becoming dry again it
curls up, and the seed is not drawn
out of the ground owing to its back
ward pointing hairs, but the spiral and
the feather are easily drawn down. On
the return of damp the spiral again
unwinds and, acting as before, drives
the seed still farther down until at
last it is quite buried.

The first cantalever railroad bridge
Is the one across the Firth Of Forth at
Queens Ferry, Scotland. It is nearly
one and a half miles in length. Fifty
one thousand tons of steel were used
in it's construction, employing as many
as 5000 men at one time. 1t cost $751;
100000 and fifty-six lives. The work
men began at either end and worked
toward the center. When they met
and undertook the last connection it
was found that the two ends lacked a
small TRACTION Of an inch Of reaching
far enough to allow the insertion OF
the bolts that were to complete the
span. For a time this was puzzle,
but was finally solved by an ingenious
workman who suggested expansion BY
artificial heat, and it was forthwith
supplied by means Of burning kerosene
oil under the steel girder.
