"cREASING" A WILD HORSE.
For One Captured by That Method
Fifty Were Killed.

FUNl WCIC TNiiSNs
VIII c. Barnes, writing in McClure's
of the various methods Of capturing
wild horses in the old days on the
plains. says:
"'Creasing' was one Of their devices.
This consisted in shooting a bullet so
fhat it struck the animal on the top
OF the neck just in front Of the with
ers and about an inch or so deep close
to the spinal column. The shock tenn
porarily stunned the horse, and the
hunter ran up and tied the animals
feet together before he recovered A
rope halter was slipped on his head.
A gentle horse or sometimes a work
OK was led up alongside the PROSTATE
beast, and he was securely necked up
TO the gentle animal and thus could be
handled easily, Old mustangers say.
however, that for one horse caught
this way fifty were killed and that as
a matter Of fact the method was not
used very much except in an emer-
gency, when a hunter after days OF
attempts to capture, fina ly took the
risk Of successfully creasing an I'M
usually fine animal rather than see.

owned l bought from Il mustanger
who had creased him on the plains
east Of the Pecos river in New Mex

fully two inches deep and wide, where
the ball from the heavy buffalo gun
had plowed its way through the flesh
just high enough above the spine not
to kill and low enough to stun effectu-

DEATH OF THE WORLD.
MhOn Water Disappears and Air Gets
Too Thin 10 Breathe.

When Water Disappears and Air Gets
Too Thin TO Breathe.
The age Of the earth is placed by
sorne at 5O0OO0,OOO years, by others
HO0,OOO,OOO years, and still others OF
later time place it at 100000 years.
None place 1t lower than 10,O00,000,
knowing what processes have been
rome through.
Other planets 20 through the same
process. The reason that other planets
differ SO much from the earth Is that
they are in so much earlier or later
stages Of existence. The earth must
become old.
Newton surmised, although he could
give no reason for It, that the earth
awould lose all its water and become
perfectly dry. Since then 1t has been
found that Newton was correct.
As the earth keeps cooling 1t will be-
come porous, and great cavities win
be formed in the interior, which viii
rake in the water. 1t is estimated
Abat this process is now In progress,
30 far that the water diminishes at the
rate Of the thickness Of a sheet Of
paper each year.
AT this rate in 100000 years the
water will have sunk a mile, and In
a6,OOO,O00 the water will have disap-
,peared from the face of the globe.
The nitrogen and oxygen in the at
atmosphere are also diminishing all the
time. 1t is In an inappreciable degree,
but the time will come when the air
win be so thin that no creature we
know could breathe it and live. The
thine win come when the world cannot
support life That viii be the period
Of old age, and then will come DEATH
