FAULTY FEET OF THE HORSE

Be Able to Walk Fast Without
Tirine-Few Essentials,

A draft horse does most of his hard
work at the walking gait. 1t is, there

10 walk fast without firing. He should
be able to walk four miles an hour
with a load. If his feet are deformed
In any way, whether 1t be by disease
or hereditary, he cannot do his best
work
The soles Of the feet should turn
up and show the shoes plainly as the
horse moves away from the observer.
The feet should be lifted quickly and
evenly and be set down squarely and
firmly.
The hoofs should be ample In size,
sound, smooth and symmetrical In
shape. The hoof ts continuation OF

should be open, prominent and wide

TELEPHONE FOR THE NOSE.

Distance Talking.


Distance Talking.
Great things are claimed for a new
style of telephone which recently was
put on exhibition at the Academy of
Sciences In Paris. The new instru-
ment is the invention Of DR.. Jules
Glover, q French physician.
While investigating the question why
the sounds of the voice were imper-
fectly transmitted, as a rule, over long
distance telephone wires DR.. Glover
was struck by the fact that vocal
sounds, coming from the larynx. on
arriving at the palate were split up
into two streams. one Of which emery
ed at the mouth, the other at the nose.
An ideal transmitter would take up
both streams of sound equally, but 1t
was found that this was by no means
the case with ordinary instruments.
DIR. Glover therefore devised a queer
looking receiver with an extra micro
