Nicholas. former commander-inch.ef .ef
of the Russian troops on the eastern
front, is being sent to Dobrudja to

armies operating there.

over-run In the first flush Of the in
vasion of Roumanian SOIL
With his lines OF communication
menaced by the Roumanian army that
invaded Bulgaria by way of the
Danube, Won Mackensen struck back
with powerful blow compelling the
Roumanians to retire temporarily.
Initial Force Small.
1t is understood here that the Rou-
manian forces which set foot on Bull
garian soil was not large. Conse-
quently when it was attacked by su-
perior numbers 1t was compelled to
retreat.
Severe fighting is in progress along
the line in Dobrudja. This is expected
to become even more violent when
Grand Duke Nicholas arrives there.
With the grand duke and Won Mack
ensen opposing each other two of the
foremost strategists in Europe are
pitted on the field of battle.
The grand duke is now reported to
be on his way to odessa. From there

The city of Paris has large and
varied plantations just outside the for
ufcatiOns. where flowers. exotic shrubs
and trees are raised. One hundred ana
thirteen hothouses for plants, exotic
shrubs and flowers are heated from
one central heating plant. distributing
hot water through nine and one-half
mile system of pipes. The object OF
this central hea ting organization is not,
as the head gardener explains, with a
view of economy. In fact. such
system is far more costly than separate
installations for each group of hot
houses. but is thus arranged to avoid
the existence of series of unsightly
chimneys winch would destroy the ar
istic effect of the grounds. which are
more or less public resort and show

KEEN SIGHT OF THE GULL
Sea Birds Have Remarkable Eyes for
ACUTE Work-Experiment Con-
WINGED Ocean Travellers.

There is perhaps no other bird, OF
land or sea, so keen of sight as the
common gull. To convince skeptical
friend of this, an American naturalist
once made some interesting expert
nents. Two men were passengers on
. steamer where the spring ebb aided
them to run twenty miles an hour. A
dozen gulls followed them in the
steamers wake without apparent eff
fort, and circled in graceful curves
over the water. Breaking a cracker
biscuit into four parts, less than an
inch square each, the naturalist hand
ed one piece to his friend and told him
to drop 1t into the seething waters on
the starboard.
Immediately the bit of biscuit be-
came invisible to human eyes, and yet
before it had gone thirty yards astern
gull detected it, and, dipping into
the foam, secured it. One by one 1t
picked up the other bits of biscuit,
though neither of the two men could
see them. Tearing off postage stamp
from an old envelope. the naturalist
dropped it overheard. The gull de-
tected the waif and made as If to pick
It up. But when within yard or 80
Of it the bird saw that 1t was nothing
in his line, and glided upward again to
his favorite station on line with the
topmast truck.

Americas "Fairy Stone

Perhaps the most curious mineral
found in the United States is staurol-
lite, otherwise known as the fairy
stone" This is an iron-aluminum
silicate found only in Virginia and
North Carolina, the reddish-brown and
brownish-black crystals occurring in
well-defined single and double crosses.
There is some commercial demand for
the crosses as curios, which are worn
as watch charms or on chains in the
manner of locket or lavalliere-a de-
mand perhaps stimulated by the
quaint legend which is told of their
origin; the fairies living in the caves
Of the mountains, on hearing the sad
tidings of the death of Christ, fash
Toned these crosses as mementos of

FISH FALL UPWARD TO DEATH
Some Deep Sea Inhabitants Construct.
ed to Withstand Great Pressure,
Como to Surface by Accident.

Perhaps the most curious accident
that can befall any of Gods creatures
is the strange death sometimes visit
ed upon deep-sea fish. They seem to
reverse the ordinary law of gravita-
ton and literally fall upward, just as
land creatures fall downward, unable
to halt their tumble.
The pressure of water in the depths
of the sea is tremendous and the crea-
lures which inhabit those regions
have bodies SO constructed that they
can swim at ease in this burdensome
element. Now and then one will by
accident stray above the strata of wa
ter in which it lives and arrive at
height where the water pressure is
greatly lighter. The gases within
them and their swimming bladders
then expand and they become as
though filled with gas.
For a certain distance the mus
cles can counteract this ballooning
tendency and it can fight it's way back
70 safety and comfort, but the mo-
ment the fish gets beyond the limit
and the muscles become ineffective,
it becomes helpless and is borne up
ward to the surface of the ocean by
the continually expanding gases.

Tho MistIetoe Thief.

Mistletoe establishes itself on the
bark of an oak, poplar. an elm OF
other tree of the forest and steals its
food from the tree. Did you know that
it sends its tiny rootlets down into
the bark and for greater part of the
year lives off the food which the tree
takes out of the earth and the air?
But, then. it isn't such bad thief,
after all. In the winter, when the tree
has no leaves to drink in the air, the
mistletoe, in turn, feeds the tree. Sc
things are about even on the board
and lodging" question between the
mistletoe and the tree, after all.
Those little white berries of the mis-.
tletoe provide many meal for the
birds through the long winter. The
birds return the favor by carrying the
seed from one tree to another. Each
seed is covered with a sticky fluid
which clings to the bark Of the tree
where the bird leaves it. The seed
sends out tiny rootlet into the bark
and there you have another mistletoe
plant for Christmas.

QUALITIES OF RACE HORSE
intellectual and Physical Needs Are
Great-Tralner Tells Why Race
Course 10 Necessary.

What qualifications are necessary to
constitute a serviceable race horse was
recently discussed by a number OF
prominent trainers who have stables
ut the Gravesend track, the New York
Times states There was a diversity
Of opinion, but all agreed that the
first and most important thing in a
thoroughbred was soundness. In e1-
pressing his views, Charles Langdon,
trainer of Charlestonian, said:
'The thoroughbred can only fulfill
IT'S mission provided the product be
continually subjected to severe trials
in public. The only appreciate test,
proved by, the experience of many CEN
turtles, is the race course.
1.-THE last struggle for victory, in
which eliminates the exertion of the
race, results from the cooperation of
the intellectual. the physical and the
mechanical qualities of the horse, the
development of which combined power
is higher and more reliable than any
that can be obtained in the same ami
NAL by other means.
1.-THE combination Of these three
qualities forms the value Of tho horse
destined for fast work, and in my opin-
ion constitutes the serviceable race
horse; the mechanical in respect to
the outward shape and construction;
the physical as regards the soundness
and normal development Of the diges-
tive organs and motive power; the in
tellectual or the will and energy to
put the other two In motion and perse-
we're to the utmost The attained speed
is not the aim, but only the gauge of
the performance.
This is what gives the thorough
bred horse a value for breeding pur-
poses and Is looked for in vain in any
other species of the animal kingdom"

other method is to coat the inside OF
the glass bulbs with ten per cent

small amount of sodium phosphate is
