WHY A HORSE SHORTS.
Nasal Sound Magnifies Scent of Sus-
picfous Object.

tFrOm the Brooklyn Citizen)
The person who attributes the snorting
of horse to fear. to dislike or anger, or
in fact to any tense emotional state. real
~ puts the cart before the horse and con-
POUNDS cause with effect.
The peculiar sound called snorting Is
due to deep, forced breathing. without the
aid Of the vocal cords. It Is, in fact Il
purely nasal sound, and II is the equiva-
lent of the shifting executed by human
beings.
The horse belongs to that class of ami
mails, as DR.. Theodore zells points out,
that trust their scent rather than their
vision. Just as when we wish 10 see a
small object more plainly we examine II
with a microscope, so does the horse
snort, in order to perceive a scent more
clearly.
When we are not certain whether food
is good We sniff. because by so doing we
disturb the air and enable the particles
If matter to which an odor is due u
reach the sensory nerves of smell, which
terminate in our nostrils, more quickly
and surely than if we trust the imper-
ceptible air current to perform this task
for us.
In order to identify any person who may
lie approaching. If the person Is one in
whom the horse Is not interested, 1t will
not sniff but II it is some one whom It
has reason to fear or to dislike, Il will
snort in order TO make certain whether
his ancient enemy Is at hand.
In this connection It is interesting to
note that the African elephant Is equip
ped with enormous ears. while his broth
er in India has only small ears. Both an
imals have small, inadequate eyes and are
forced to trust to scent rather than vision
in the battle Of existence, The Indian ele-
plant lives in the jungle, where odors arc
nungent and easily discernible. but the
African elephant is a native of the plains
where the air Is dry and hot and barely
crculates. The heat dries the moisture
out of the tiny hairs in the nostrils which
connect with the sensory nerves, and 1t l.
only through Tapping his enormous ears
that he can create the currents of air
which enable him to discern any odor at
all
travellers are prone to ascribe the flap
ping Of an elephants ears to fury. bu,
that is mistaken notion.

THE NEW HAVEN REPORT
Attitude of the Commissioner md
Credit to President Elliott.
(From the Boston Journal)

The report of the interstate commerce
commission upon Its investigation of the
New Haven system Is almost but not
quite startling, For some time it had
been a matter Of common knowledge that
the commission was preparing a grlllng
for the former management Of the New
Haven, and II has done what was ex-
pected with zeal, to say nothing of en-
thusiasm
The commission differs emphatically
from those who still insist that NJ
Mellen and the officers associated with
him merely made mistakes Of administra
ton" The directors are charged with
criminal negligence; evidence that the law
was violated in carrying out the plans If
the New Haven management is submitted
for action by the proper State authorities,
and the loss TO the New Haven by tn ,
so-called Mellen policy Is estimated h,
the commission at not less than 500 on. oo0
1t is refreshing and gratifying to note
that the commission gives ungrudgins
credit TO Chairman Elliott OF the New
Haven for his cooperation and assist
ance. II Is an interesting fact that, sim
ultaneously with the publication OF the
commissions report, a demand for "restl-
tuition" of millions, in behalf OF unnamed
stockholders, is made by the law firm Of
which Sherman L. Whlpple Is the head
1t may be predicted that lively times are
ahead for the former management of the
New Haven road. May we venture the
sincere hope that better times are not
far away for stockholders who trustingiy
believed that their corporation was being
used for their benefit even while It was
being looted for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
those who, having official power and re-
sponsiblity, brought a magnificent prop
crty to the verge Of bankruptcy.
