HORSES DECORATING IN PARIs.

Tho number Of horses in Paris
steadily decreases under motor compe-
tition. and the horses that remain
have to thank the automobile as we'll
~ the efforts of various societies for
the better treatment they receive, for
to survive In these days they must be
At. The army authorities take a CEN
sus Of the number of horses, and the
figures for 1911 show 72,48S in Paris,
compared with 96,69S in 1901. This
means that the number Of horses has
decreased 24,210 in ten years. or al
most exactly a quarter. The military
authorities are somewhat perturbed
over this fact. 1t Is true that for
transport of war material and provis-
ions automobile traction saves the use
of many horses, but there remain the
needs Of the cavalry and artillery. The
old standby for trained horses, the
omnibus companies, will soon be of no
assistance, for autobuses are rapidly
supplanting horse-drawn stages.

pair turning on an axle, which enables
the occupants to do a bit Of steering.
The favorite place for the running
OF these toy carts Is a gradient, and
motorists have lately been tortured In
the stretches Of Perth road and Ferry
road.
The little carts come darting out of
the side streets irrespective of the
possible approach of tram or motor
car, and the result is to give the most
careful driver a touch Of nerves.
Recently a Dundee motoring party
got scared three times on the route
named, and though the speed was
never more than five miles an hour, a
miracle only prevented mishap, and
two ladies with the car arrived home
in state Of collapse.

PLAIN REASONS WHY THE wlNps
BLOW.

Astronomers and other scientists
have not yet succeeded in ascertain
Ing just how far the atmosphere OF
our earth extends above the land and
the sea on which It rests, but some of
them hope to some day soon. The
Astronomer Royal Of England. who
has completed his report for the fiscal
year ending May 10, tells some very
interesting things about the varying
densities. attitudes and temperatures
OF the air cushions. air pockets and
air currents surrounding the earth.
In reference to air currents and
the reasons why the wind blows, tho
report explains that air consists Of
gaseous PARTICLES, all trying to got
away from one another. and that. un.
der certain conditions. they can be
compelled to come closer together by
contraction. or forced to fly further
apart by expansion. A quart bottle.
for example. holds 20 grains Of air at
the temperature Of 70 degrees. II tho
bottle be cooled by surrounding It
with Ice. the air inside contracts.
When this occurs. more air rushes in
through the bottles neck. The quart
Of air now weighs more than ~ grains.
II the bottle be heated. the air It con-
tains expands. its tiny particles ny
further asunder. and many Of them
escape from the bottle altogether.

THE USE OF THE COMMA.

The point on which most writer's
are at odds with the compositor ID
the comma. says the London Chron.
icle. It IL not that he misplaces 1t so
outrageously. as In that sentence
which was the cause Of many tears in
q Berlin newspaper Office some years
ago: prince Bismarck walked In on
his head. the well-known cap ON his
feet, large. brightly polished top boots
on his forehead. dark cloud In his
hand. the inevitable walking stick in
his eye. a menacing glance"
No. but he Ia too fond Of this par.
ucular punctuation point. He takes Q
delight in breaking up the now of
sentences with his artificial pauses.
We all say: why then did you do it?'
in one breath. It Is the compost. :.
who says. why, then. did you do it!'
It IL possible to be too hard on the
comma. It has Its undeniable uses.

The above five questions are being propounded to the farmers residing in the country surrounding Green Forest. They are asked for the purpose of securing statistics upon which to base a conclusion as to whether or. not it would pay to put in a roller mill at Green Forest.
 George Basore of Kingston is here this week and at his instance circu- lar letter has been addressed to all the farmers of the community as nearly as could be ascertained on short notice, enclosing stamped post cards, asking that these questions quoted be answer ed and the cards returned to w. E.. Lamb at Green Forest. In order to facilitate the matter, it is suggested that where one is not handy to the post office or route and can use phone, that this method of sending in the in- formation be used, as it is necessary to have it at the earliest possible time. W . USISNC tldC tllcIS IS acreage and interest in wheat raising here if presented to MT. Rasore to prove to him conclusively that this enterprise will pay, but whether our farmers will be able to prove it to him in the time and manner he desires re- mains to be seen. All we can do is to make the best showing possible.
 This is a matter of great importance to the people of the town and com munity alike and we would like to urge everybody interested to get busy and help prove that we have good open ing for a milling plant here.
 The Basores are erything we could desire for men behind the enterprise. Not only are they millers of long years of successful experience but gentlemen possessed of all the clements of good citizenship. Since ithas become known that they are seeking a mill location many fiattering propositions have been l opened to them and it is evident that we will have to make showing if we in- duce them to come here. Their plan is to put in an A 1 outfit and do a mill business exclusively, as they claim to know nothing of handling other enter prises that are sometimes operated in connection with mills.
 The Tribune sincerely hopes that every farmer that gets one of these cards will answer promptly If you should not get one and live within what might be termed Green Forest territory, phone or write The Tribune office, giv- ing answers to the questions by mum. Der and the information will be handed in by us. Act promptly as delayed information may be useless.
