FRISCO NEWSSGY HAS
WALKED 49,, 900 fa,lEE

Wearing khaki suit, with knap-
sack of the same cloth, and ac-
companied by Jack" an Ala"kan
mail dog, julius Rath, a st. Louis
newsboy who left that city sixteen
wears ago to travel 100000 miles
by 1915, arriyedin Richmond Mon
day.
Young Rath was fourteen years
OF age when he started out on his
long journey. At that time he
could neither read nor write, and
knew only the language, of the
street urchin. Today he talks in
terestingly, can read, and write a
nice hand, besides being able t"
make his wants known in twenty,
six different languages.
Rath is to visit every large city
in North and South America, and
in Europe, Africa and Asia. He
has been through the foreign lands,
penetrated the rich gold fields OF
Alaska.
The young traveller has covered
$4,000 miles by land and sea, AMI
while on a vessel he is suppos
ed to walk twelve hours each day
to cover the distance that he would
cover if on land. At no time dur
ing his sixteen years of travel has
Rath been sick, but he was in 4
hospital for four months in Mexico,
recovering from a pistol wound III
his leg. Rath is not allowed to
work, to beg or borrow, but he IS
allowed to make money by lectur-
ing, and selling newspapers and
pictures of himself. He is equip
ped with a modern camera and has
taken pictures in every country
that he has visited, and. these are
used in illustrating his lectures.
Jack" the Russian wolf dog.
has been young Rath's faithful
companion for three and one-halt
wears. He is the fifth canine which
has undertaken TO StanQ tne oFueai
of daily travelling. During his long
tramp Rath has worn out AL pairs
of shoes of the very best leather.
If Rath arrives in San Francisco
in 1915 with a dog, and with ST.
600 shown on deposite to his credit,
he will receive purse of $50, 900,
which he says was put up by the
St. Louis Club, an organization OF
St. Louis business men.
Rath is on the last $500 miles OF
his journey, and will visit Lynch =
burg, Roanoke and Bristol, en-
route to St. Louis, from which city
he will go to Kansas City and
thence on to the Pacific Slope to
claim his reward for seventeen years
of walking.

Dress Same as Rent.

A French judge has given unique
decision on a contested dressmaker's
bill. The dressmaker sued the hus'
band of a customer for $4,000, the
cost of dresses and cloaks which he
had delivered. The woman's husband
refused to pay, saying that the trades,
man had, at his own risk, allowed his
wife an absurd credit. 49,.
The court inquired into the rent PAID
by the defendant. Learning that II
was $500, the court decided that no
woman ought to spend more for her
years clothes than her husband spent
on his years rent, and ordered pay
ment of $500 and costs to settle the
dressmaker's bill,

The Sea and Drop of Water.

A German professor named Meinar
dus has amused himself with calculat,
ing how long drop of water stays
in the ocean before it is evaporated,.
and how soon it returns to the sea.
Calculating-he does not say how
the total evaporation from the surface
CT the ocean and estimating the total
volume of water in the ocean, drop
of water entering the ocean will stay
there $3.50 years, provided it awaits
it's turn to be evaporated. However,
the professor admits that the surface
water stands a good chance Of getting
ahead of its turn. The average stay
out of the ocean is only twelve days
before it has fallen in rain and run
back again to the sea.

and ancient" and it is cheering to note
that that food is just now pouring out
toward the caddie. This constant sub
ject for cynical speech and caustic
picture is to be suitably provided for,
and an accomplished golfer pleads al
most with tears in his voice that
"caddies are identified with the one
pleasure which helps the elderly gen.
tlemen to feel young" The hearts
even of the we'll preserved middle
aged cannot but be touched by such.
an appeal; and yet there fingers the
haunting memory that the very name
of caddie is suffused in some strange
fashion with a shade of ne'er-do-
well.
The earliest known use Of the ap-
pellation, and then as "caddie," Is to
be found in the London Morning Pen
ny Post, when George II. was still on
the throne, and "the forty-fve" was in
very immediate popular remembrance.
News from Scotland had it that "one
Duncan Grant, a discharged soldier,
who had passed in Edinburgh some
times as a street caddie,' had in
Cured heavy penalty for rather
trivial swindle in a transaction over
behring's. He was to be taken from
the Talbooth and "put in the pill
lory. to stand for the space of an
hour, with half dozen behring's about
his neck, and thereafter to be ban
ished from the City of Liberties for
! ever"
1t was a rough sort Of making the
punishment fit the crime, which some
irate golfers would desire to revive
for their caddies even in this more
j humane age.--Westminster Gazette.

Australian Cockatoo,

Australia and the islands Of the
Malay archipelago are the home OF
the cockatoo. About this time of the
year the young ones are nearly all on
the wing and with the parent birds are
beginning to gather into flocks, accord
ing to custom. The snow-white birds
circling overhead, with almost deaf
ening screams, present very beautl
full sight at least. So elegant and or
derby are they in their movements be-
fore alighting that even the farmers,
whose grain they may be after, cannot
help admiring them.
The cockatoo is very intelligent and
makes most admirable pet, but when
his temper is aroused or he is dis
pleased he suddenly changes from a
dignifed bird into screaming fury

porbans a no more accurate PROOF
that. the earth is constantly revolving
can be given than that recently pup
lisbed in a German paper which gives
tba following directions for substan-
tiating. the same:
Take a good-sized bowl, fill it near
" full of water and place 1t upon the
floor of a room which is not exposed
to shaking or Earring from the street
Sprinkle pulverized chalk over the wa

Then upon the surface Of this coat
ing make, with powdered CHARCOAL
straight black line, say an lncn OF
two in length. Having made this III
tie black mark with the charcoal pow
der on the surface of the contents OF
the bowl, lay down upon the noor'
close to the bowl, a stick or some
other straight object SO that it will be
exactly parallel with the mark. II the
line happens to be parallel with a
crack in the floor or with any station
airy object in the room this will serve
as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for
few hours and then observe the posi-
ton Of the black mark with reference
to the object that it was parallel with.
1t will be found to have moved about,
and to have moved from east to
west-that is to say, in the direction
opposite to that of the movement of
the earth on it's axis. The earth, in
simply revolving, has carried the wa
ter and everything else in the bowl
around with it, but the powder has
been left behind little. The line
will always be found to have moved
from east to west, which proves that
everything else has moved the other
way.

The Origin of Double
Standard Polled Herefords

chow were the first purebred or
Double Standard Polled Herefords
produced?" is a frequent question
even among we'll informed Here
| ford breeders. This is the answer.
In 1901 Warren Cannon began
studying certain breeding questions.
He knew he could breed the horns
off his Hereford cattle by crossing
them with Angus or Galloway but
this would give simple crossbreds
and the calves from this breeding
could never be registered. He
learned, however, that all sorts OF
queer and unexplainable freaks OF
of nature are constantly occurring
among domestic animals, such as
pigs with extra feet or toes, calves
with two heads, chickens with ex
ira toes, etc. These freaks cannot
be satisfactorily explained but they
do certainly occur and often times
breed after themselves when mated
with normal specimens of the race.
With these facts in mind, Mr.. Gam
mon determined to find out if there
were any freaks among the pure
bred, registered Herefords that had
failed to- develop horns through
their ancestors on both sides were
horned. He sent out circular in
quiry to every memLer of the
American Hereford Breeders Asso-
citation asking if any such hornless
had ever appeared in their herds.
In this way fourteen head OF regis
tered Herefords were discovered
that had never developed horns
though all their known Eancestors
were horned. They were the prop
erty of some of the most reputable
breeders of the country. Ten were
COWS and four were bulls. Mr..
Cannon bought all four bulls and
seven of the cows and began matt
ing them. AS a result of mating
polled bulls and polled COWS practi-
cally all the calves came polled and
when then polled bulls were mated
with horned Hereford COWS from
so to rs per cent of the CALVES were
hornless. This gave him the start
he desired and marked the begin
ming of the Double Standard Polled
Herefords as a breed. The first
polled calf was dropped in his herd
in 1902 and in ten years between
then and 1912 the new breed has
grown from this one herd to more
than 625 herds With over 1900 head
of Double Standard Polled Here
fords now registered in the Polled
Hereford Record.

Helped Snake Get Coat Of.


Snakes in captivity sometimes find
great difficulty in getting rid Of the
skin which is shed every year. In a
state of nature they rub off the skin
against the roots and heritage.
In the Bombay Museum there was
an Australian diamond snake, which
appeared likely to die because it could
not get rid of it's skin. 1t was quite
blind and refused all food. An Eng
lish surgeon happened to see the pre-
dicament and volunteered his services.
He engaged the native keeper to hold
the snake, and then with knife, scis-
sors and forceps he ripped the old
skin down the back and performed
the delicate and risky operation of re-
moving thu membrane which adhered
to the eyes.
