The horse whose skull has just come
to light was probably a male of about
s years, as the upper canine teeth are
we'll developed. After making a Sc
ries of careful measurements followed
by comparisons with all the material
available, the author concludes that
This specimen probably belonged to
the species which he recently describ-
ed in the proceedings of the United
States national museum, under the
name of Equus niobrarensis, the horse
living in the region of the Niobrara
formation, named after the Niobrara
river, Northern Nebraska, but as there
appear to be certain differences which
make it proper to recognize it as a
distinct form, he has added the name
alaSkae.
1t differs from the type form found
in Hay Springs, Northwestern Nebras-
ka, in that ii is considerably smaller.
Other specimens of the same species
have been recognized from teeth found
i'll Western Texas, Eastern Nebraska
and Western Iowa. >.. ..<. i.
DR.. Hay also mentions the fossil
teeth and leg bone of:the horse found
in Yukon by Mr.. Amory, and says that
enc of the upper molars presents a
similar appearance to that of the
Alaskan horse described in his paper.
H is understood that the horses which
lived in North America during the
Pleistocene age were probably derived
from stock which crossed over from
Asia into Alaska and then made their
way over nearly the whole of both
North and South America.
The paper includes eighteen pages
and is illustrated by two plates show
ing different views of the fossil skull
and detail views of the teeth. upon
which so much depends in the classifi,

Would it not be better, instead of
Iantagonizing further the party in
power by fighting it's deliberate poll
cy, quietly to accept the present sit
uation? Then, by the time the date
for free sugar approaches, the effect
of the reduction in duty could be ex-
actly measured The nation at large
the consuming and voting public, will
by then have had an opportunity of
testing the theory that the price of
the commodity is governed by the
tariff. AT the same lime, the do
nestle sugar producers, both of beet
and cane, would have learned precise
ly the effect on the sugar industry
of the reduction.
IF the consumer finds that he has
not obtained cheaper sugar by The
reduction, very obvious lesson will
have been taught him. He would be
left without reason to expect cheap

of protection from trust-controlled
article On the other hand, the pro-
Queer would be enabled to show ex-
actly what damage had been done
to the industry through the admis-
sion of enough cheap foreign sugar
to glui the market, with benefit sole
ly to the importing refiners having
absolute control of the sale to con-
sumers-that is, if the reduction of
duty viii have had the injurious ef-
fects now feared.
I'm other words, the Is per cent

NIAGARA AS AN
OIL BURNER
SUCCESS

Completing one round trip, mainly
using oil. as fuel. the operation of the
lew OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES liner Nj
agara is declared to have been J dis
tinct success. The Niagara is to again
call at Honolulu on or about August
IL from Sydney by the way of Auck-
land and Suva. Shipping men who
have followed the movements of the
vessel on the outward and homeward
trip find that the liner easily steamed
at an average speed of 1515 knots an
hour without the slightest mishap TO
her boilers or machinery. Incidental
ly, the Niagara is said to have beer
the largest vessel to use fuel oil to
enter a New Zealand port.
Coal was used on the steamer dur
ing her maiden voyage to Auckland
and on her first trip in the Canadian
service. During her stay in Vancou-
Yer, the equipment of the furnaces for
oil fuel was installed, the work being
completed by the engineers in readi.
hess for the steamers departure or
contract time. Fourteen compart.
lnents form the oil reservoir, with a
capacity of 5000 tons. Four thousand
tons of oil. were taken aboard at Van
ccuver, and this quantity was suffi.
cient for the round trip from Vancou
} yer TO Auckland and sydney and the
return voyage "a further supply OF
$50 tons was added at honolulu.
The operation of reflenishing the
fuel supplies is simple compared with
coaling While the steamer lay in her
berth at Vancouver, an oil tank steam.
er moored alongside and pumped oil
into her tanks at the rate of 100 tons
per hour.
Economy and cleanliness are among
the advantages OF fuel oil. Before its
admission to the furnaces the oil is
heated to firing point, which varies
from 230 degrees to $50 degrees, and
is then pumped at a high pressure
through MOBILES, from which the vapor
lied oil escapes in a eone-shaped
spray that distributes fierce heat
over the furnace crown. The appara.
tus requires little attention, and the
stokehole staff of the Niagara now
comprises nine men, the three men
forming a watch having each stoke
hole under his supervision Thirty,
two firemen and trimmers were dis.
charged at Vancouver, so that the
saving i'm wages is about $500 pei
month. During the voyage the con
sumption of oil was 80 tons in q
hours, as compared with about 16o
tons of coal, and as oil costs SAFE
per ton and coal $500 per ton, in Van.
couver, the direct saving in fuel is
approximately 81 per cent The use OF
oil fuel will in the case Of the Niagara
obviate visits to Newcastle for coal
ing. and a repetition of that operation
at Vancouver. ALI the impediments
for maintaining steam on coal have
been discharged. AID the wheelbar.
rows, shovels, and rakes have been
replaced by few feet of piping ard
some machinery. The stokehole OF
the steamer is one of the cleanest
parts of the ship. It has been painted
white throughout. and is wonderfully
cool.
The ships officers are thoroughly
satisfied with the results of the exper,
iment. The master. Captain John
Glib. said that during the voyage
only eight of the ten boilers were
used, and he had no doubt the shin
could steam Is knots under her full
power.
