This time there was a fight. but a

was virtually as complete as Ill the

AGES THAT ANIMALS ATTAIN

Undoubtedly the longest lived ami
NAL on earth is the whale, it's span
of existence being estimated by
Culver at 1000 years. The next
largest animal, the elephant, will, un'
der favorable conditions, live 400
years.
The average age of cats is IS years
of squirrels, Z or years; of rabbits,
Z; bear rarely exceeds 20 years; a
wolf, 20; a fox, IA to 16. Lions are
comparatively long lived, instances
having been recorded where they
reached the age of 70 years.
Pigs have been known to live ia
the age of 20 years, and horses to 60,
but the average age of the horse is
rs to 80 Camels sometimes live to
the age of 100.
Eagles occasionally and ravens fire.
quently reach the age of 100 years.

300 years. A tortoise has been knova
to live 107 years.

the fact that the skull weighs nearly
three-fourths of ton, while the up
per foreleg is four and one-ha1f feet
long. The specimen is remarkable for
the great length of the legs, the gen.
eral lightness of frame, and for the
shrtness Of the curved tusks-less

resent transition type between the
most ancient mammoth and tie fleet

COW WITH FREAKIsH HOOPS

A. G. Davis Of Dennysvil1e, Me-,
owns the freak COW here pictured.
The animal has four hoofs, each one
OF which is no less than twenty-five
inches in length, and so badly twist
ed and contorted that the animal can
only walk with difficulty. When
calf she developed ungainly hoofs,
which grew as she became older; and,
though the horny growth was fire.
quently pared away, it returned again
and again, until at last the owner gave
up trying to effect any improvement
In the creatures anatomy, and began
to take her round to local fairs and
exhibit her as a curiosity. The hoofs
are of deep green color, and closely
resemble lobster in conformation.

GRAIN OF SALT WILL HELP
Stories Of Importance Of Signals Ex-
aggerated by Writers-Some
Yarns Are Made Readable.

A story has been going the rounds
OF the papers lately to the effect that
the several clubs of the big leagues
nave been tryingt to emulate the early
example of the Athletics in studying
out the signals of the other clubs. It
used to be the opinion that Connie
Mack had his men trained so that they
were constantly watching for the
slightest indication of signal on the
part of the other players, and that the
inside facts thus discovered were of in
estimable value to the Athletics. It is
now contended that many of the other
teams are doing the same thing, and
that it is as much a part of the educa-
ton Of baseball player to be alert and
keen to discover the other fellows
signals as it is to play the physical
part of the game.
There is a good deal of bunk about
Ill this signal stuff and wonderful sto-
ries Of inside play and all that sort of
thing, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Unquestionably a good deal of the
routine of baseball is done after some
signal but there is not nearly so
much Of it as some writer's try to-
make the public believe. Neither is
there very much opportunity to grab
off the signals of another team
1t does very we'll to write press
agent stories about this sort of thing,
and it must be admitted that they are
reasonably readable, but most of them
want to be taken with a large size
grain of salt.
