STRANGE ANIMALS.

The fossils found In the Ogalalla and Arikaree formations In the Platte val ley, show that western Nebraska was inhibited In what the geologist terms late Miocene time by animals of very different types from those living there now, and also that very different phy- sical conditions prevailed at that time. In place of the dry. barren plains of today there were numerous streams and swampy lowlands.
 The Arikaree formation contains great numbers of bones of a peculiar type of animals called Challlcotheres. They were larger than a large horse and had horse-like head. long front .egs, and shorter hind legs, but every foot had three toes. each of which In place of a hoof bore an enormous claw. An equally strange form of Miocene time is deerllke animal called Syn dyocreas. It's head somewhat resem- bled that of an antelope but was longer

PAY DAY IN THE TRENCHES.

tPittsburg Dispatch.)
 The pay department of the British army now employs nearly TOO officers and about 1000 clerks. This Is nearly cen times as many people as were re- uuired for the work in times of peace he housing of the constantly growing staff of the paymaster's office was one of the first difficulties. and the Lon don main office has moved twice since .he war began. Lately It has taken to adding private houses to its office area. Much of the time since the lst # August the whole army pay organ lzation has worked day and night.

 The Albatross also makes records of deep-sea temperatures.

The French estimate of the distance from which the Germans dropped shells in Dunkirk Is 23 1-2 miles. Fire at such a range has long been a topic of popular interest as a possibility. It is now a fact.
 Travelling swifter than rife ball, a shot fired at such a range is nearly two minutes on It's way. At 45 degrees elevation 1t rises more than two miles above the loftiest mountain, higher than man can mount In a balloon and live, before 1t begins to descend.
 The fire that wrecked the Antwerp forts was delivered with much moro accurate. aim, almost vertical, at fair ly short range. The great guns of warships cannot be elevated more than l5 degrees. This Is one reason why Inc allies landed armies at the Dar- danelles. Plunglng fire from batteries at closer range should be more effec- tive against Turkish forts than the big

THE DOGS COLD NOSE.
lCIeV eland Press.)

lNleN Glduu ITeoS.I
 N hen your faithful old dog pokes his nose into your hand, even your affection cannot prevent a shiver.
 Why is 1t?
 When the body of a dog is so warm, why should this one spot be different nom all the rest of him.
 The old fable teAs us that when Noah tried to get all the animals into the ark some of them were trouble some. and he had to get dog to help him drive the last to enter the ark There was no room left, so the dog had to stand in the doorway with his nose outside in the wet, and 1t has uever been warm since.
 science gives quite another explana- tion of the matter. The coldness or a dogs nose, says science, Is due to the fact that 1t must be kept moist all the time in order to sharpen his sense Of smell. And, as the moisture is cooled bv the air. 1t keeps his nose cold all the time.
 In addition to the olfactory or smell ing nerves inside a dogs nostrils, the whole black membrane around the nose Is very sensitive, and this sensi- tiveness can only be retained by mois- ture. Thus it Is that when a dogs nose i.. dry and warm he Is Ill and needs doctoring.

point in the earth's orbit and the dis tance of earth from the sun as then known, he actually computed a num- erica1 value for the velocity of light. We better appreciate the greatness ot this astronomer when we stop to con- sider that his discovery was made in 1675-100 years before the rise of the modern theory of light. Today we somewhat reverse the process: We ascertain with great accuracy the speed with which light travels by ex- periments in the physical laboratory and can use the time differences men toned above to measure with precis- ion distances which Roemer assumed known.

Very curi- ously, the Charioteer is pictured by the ancients as seated on Che Milky Way holding a little goat. The heart of the goat is the fiery Capella, a star almost as bright as Vega. The mag nif1cent star group of the Pleiad des can be seen a little to the south of Auriga. The observer must bear in mind that when looking at the Plei- ades he sees a cluster of separate stars and not a mass of nebuIous matter. This group has played an important part in the life of man; it has been the object of reVeren and attention since man first saw the

INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

The forty-seventh week of the iay ing contest at Storrs saw a gain of relatively 502 eggs over the produc- tion for the corresponding period a year ago, the total yield for the week being 2812 eggs. In the remaining five weeks the hens have to produces only a little more than 1000 eggs in order to average 15O eggs for the year for each hen entered in tle conpeti- tion. The management believes they will do considerably better than this.
 First honors for the week were won easily by Tom Barron's English Wy andottes that laid 57 eggs or within for the year. pr. N. w. Sanborn's Buff Wyandottes from Holden, Mass, tied for second place with two pens of Rhode Island Reds owned by Charles o. Polhemus, Newburgh, N. Y. and Harrison M. Bailey, Danbury, Conn, the three pens laying 52 eggs each. Two pens of Leghorns, name ly, N. W. Hendryx from New Haven. Conn.,, and P. G. Platt, Wallingford, Pa, tied for third with a score of A eggs each.
 In last years competition only little over sixty individual hens reach ed the 200-egg mark or about 1-4 per cent. of the birds entered in the contest. In the present com petition the management predicts som mething like 13O 20O-egg hens or 13 per cent. of the individuals entered. This pre- diction includes all birds that had a record of ITO up to the end of August and provided furthermore that they had laid at least twenty eggs during tile month of August On this basis the subjoined table has been made showing the probable number. of 2O0- eggs hens in each breed and the per cent. of the total number:

shared the same fate had the Germans been able to bring up their artillery. In the larger engagements, notably the battles of the Marne and also the first great battle on the lower Nistula, the French victory on the one side and that of the Germans on the other. was won, according to the experts, not through the power of troops. as in each instance the winners were greatly out - numbered, but by the preponderance of guns. While it is true that the fail ure of the Germans to capture Reims troops protected the forts. it has also been disclosed that the defenders were employing guns which far outranged those fthe enemy and it is proba- bly, due to this fact largely that the Germans were unable to bring their guns to bear on the forts Taking the testimony of the qualified judges as a whole it is clear that the famous Napoleonic maxim that: God fights on the side with the heaviest artillery" is applicable today as well as in the days of Austerlitz and Mar engo.

ARMS AND THE MAN"

While the lessons of the great war thus far have completely upset most of the theories held before it's commence ment, probably the most outstanding fact so far developed is that the bal ance of power lies largely on the side having the most effective artillery. This applies equally well to the land as to the sea. In the various marine en- sagements which have taken place the issue has been decided in every case by the longest range guns. while on land, despite the immense number of men, the commanders are compelled to depend on their artillery to hew a way through the densly packed lines of the enemy. In the field. the personal fighting qualities of the troops have counted for a great deal. but the gun nery has counted for still more
 On the sea. however, the personal bravery of the seamen has counted for but little as the men have had no
 
 bravery of the men on the Emden, vet they were compelled to turn and run before the longer ranged and heavier guns of the Sydney. Valor was worth less in the face of guns which. while keeping well out of range could still batter the enemy to pieces with com rolx injury in return. In the great sea bat tie off the Chilean port of Coronel on the Pacific the three British cruisers were not sunk because of the superior numbers of the enemy. as out of the five German ships but three were really effective in the destruction of the British vessels and, as pointed out by the ordnance experts. were able to bring about the overthrow of the enemy solely because of the superior range of the guns.
 The same rule applies to the famous battle off the FallSlands and also the North Sea engagement The effect of the war on ships and it's effect on the forts on land have some points of resemblance. The great forts have fallen like a house of cards not because they were not strong but because the awful bolts hurled against them were stronger. Similarly. on the sea, gun nery and the size and force of the pro- jectiles have achieved preeminence of effect. Before the crushing blows of the great forty-two eentimeter German guns, the strong forts of Liege. Namur and Antwerp, were as houses of sand and it is probable that the forts of Paris before which the onrushing Ger man cohorts recoiled like waves against the rock bound shore, would have
