Euckino horses.

A touch Of the spur or flick of the
quirt signals the start, says the Ameri-
can Magazine, in an article on our
western horses. His knowledge of
what to do must be heritage from
his ancestors. for all horses do il. and
all American wild horses are sprung
from horses that once carried men
He pops down his head and levitates
straight heavenward While he and
you are high In the air he arches his
back and stiffens his body to iron rig
idly. Thus he comes back to earth
The sensation to the rider is as If his
spinal column had been struck by a
piledriver. The impression is not an
alyzed at the time. for the horse goes
into the air again Immediately. He
swings to right or left. or he changes
ends" completely while in the air. and
you come down facing southwark,
whereas you were facing northward
when you assembled.

MYSTERY OF LAKE BAIKAL
Body of Water Remote From Ocean
Contains Many Organisms Ap-
parently Marine.

The riddle of Lake Baikal, in cen
trail Asia, is similar to that of Lake
Tanganyika, in central Africa In both
cases large body of fresh water. re-
mote from the ocean, contains organ
isms apparently marine. Both lakes,
again, contain a very large number of
species not found elsewhere. Lake Bal
kal contains numerous salmon and
seals as well as three species of her
ring. It also contains a few mollusca
of apparently marine forms.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the lake, perhaps. is that, al
though it is frozen over for about five
months in the year. the animal life is
extremely abundant and varied. This
may be partly accounted for. perhaps
by the existence of hot springs.
One of the latest attempts to an
swer the riddle of Lake Baikal is that
of the Russian investigator Berg. OF
the 33 specimens of fish found IN the
lake he finds that IA are peculiar to
1t. while 10 have a wide distribution
in Siberia and Europe
Many of these peculiar species are
without near relations anywhere. or
the mollusca go per cent. are peculiar.
Berg does not think the facts de
mand the hypothesis that the lake was
once marine. He believes that it has
| always been fresh and that the fauna
peculiar to it have had a twofold or
igin. A part has originated in the
lake itself during the long ages of its
! existence. and the rest is a portion of
| the prehistoric fresh water fauna OF
: Siberia which it has preserved.-Har-
per's Weekly.

The human body contains. among

of the latter would be sufficient for

BEST WAY TO TAKE EXERCISE
No Better Plan Than That of InduIg- Ing In Long Walks Has as Yet
 Been Devised.

Walking, if properly and regularly followed, would become not only a restorer of health to many who at the present time are on the road to disease, but also a source of pleasure.
 Let the arms swing if you feel like it and the limbs, too; open the nos- trils and fill the lungs, and the move ments will send a gentle electric vii bration through the entire body, the result of which is the awakening of new life. Never take the lazy gait, as it soon makes one tired and pro- duces languor. A little precipitation on the homestretch may prove to be a blessing not only in carrying effete matter from the body, but in bring ing an increased supply of oxygen into the blood and putting the blush of health on the cheek.
 Perhaps the best time to walk is in the early morning. The air is then the most highly charged with the life-giving oxygen and the freest from dust and smoke which rises later in the day. At this time, also, the mind is liable to be free from worry and anxiety, hence in the best condition to drink in the blessings of freshness for us on every hand Health.
