EQUINE EVOLUTION.
There Was a Time When the Horse
Was Only Two Feet High.

The variations which lead up to the
formation of a new species I so in
sensible, they stretch over such a vast
period of time. that their survival value
from generation to generation is and
must be very slight. Take the case of
the horse, for instance.
The development of the horse seems
to stretch ove a period of at least
100000 years. or from the eohippus Of
eocene times. an animal less than two
feet high and probably weighing less
than a hundred pounds. to the horse
of late tertiary times. the pliohippus,
much like the superb creature We know
today, five feet high and weighing
1000 or 1000 pounds.
If this animal increased in height
only one-quarter of an inch in 10000
years he would be six feet high in less
than 100000 years. So. If we allow
him 100000 years to develop in, his
increase in height must have been even
J less than one-fourth of an inch in
| 10000 years.
Think of it. Our horse Of today might
! be increasing or diminishing in size at
that rate and the fact never be noticed
{, during the whole period. In weight the
same-one-eighth of Il pound in a hun
dred years. and he would weigh $4,000
pounds in less than 100000 years. a
rate Of increase that u scales would
hardly detect in a century of time.
The transformations of the other ami
mails have probably been equally slow.
Science would feel safe in saying that
a flying fish never becomes Il bird. But
can We conceive how slight the change
would have to be i'll every thousand
years To bring it about in geologic OF

SEEMED 70 RAIN FIRE.
Whom a Startling Meteorie Shower
Scared Folks In 1883.

When a Startling Meteorie Shower
Scared Folks In 1888.
In Scharf's "Chronicles of Baltimore
there is Il vivid description of the
starry hailstorm. the fiery meteoric
shower. of 1888. and old files of news
papers are made luminous ut that date
with the impressions of editors and
contributors.
One writer said it was the grandest
and most charming sight ever present
ed to the vision of man. Awakened
from sleep, he sprang to the window.
thinking the house was on fire, but
when he looked out he beheld stars, or
fiery bodies, descending like torrents"
The shed in the adjoining yard to my
own" he wrote. twas covered with
stars. as l supposed. during the whole
time"
Professor Olmstead of Yale college
thought that the exhibition was the
finest display of celestial fireworks that
had been witnessed since the creation
of the world. although he. too, while
knowing its character, was sufficiently
imbued with the theological spirit Of
the time to believe that it was a SOL
emn portent that carried a divine
warning.
One editor whose comment upon this
phenomenon was probably more quot
ed than any other he ever made said:
I'VE pronounce the raining. fire which
we saw on Wednesday morning all
awful type. a f%orerunner. Il merciful
sign Of that great and dreadful day
which the inhabitants of the earth will
witness when the sixth seal will be
opened. Many things occurring in the
earth tend to convince us that we are
now in the latter days"

HOW BLoTTERS ABSORB IN,A::
Being a Simple Explanation of capi'-
larv Attraction.

Every student of physics knows that
water will run up Il narrow tube by
capillary attraction. Anything I'M
mersed in water has a similar attrac-
ton for the water-that is, the object
becomes wet by the water that cllngs
to it. The amount is limited by the
weight of the liquid itself. Place your
hand in water and your hand when
withdrawn is wet. The limited attrac-
ton between the hand and the water
IS gagged by the weight of the water
that clings to the hand.
Imagine several hands placed close
together in water. but not touching one
another. If this composite hand We're
formed of ten single hands it would at
tract ten times as much water as the
one hand would attract and hold on its
surface. So a wisp Of hay. composed
Of q hundred spears OF dried grass.
placed in water will remove Il hundred
times rs much of the fluid as would
cling to one spear. Bushes in Il marsh
will remove Il certain amount of water.
which will by capillary attraction cling
to their submerged parts.
Under the microscope 1ibrous blot
ting paper when absorbing ink resem-
bles on a small scale Il marsh matted
with shrubs and sticks and twigs
around which water is flowing. as ink
runs about and among the tberS that
together form the spongy paper. There
Is a limit to the amount OF liquid
which a blotter will absorb. as there is
g limit to the amount of water that 4
marsh will absorb without overdowing.
That limit in the blotter is the com
bined capillary attraction of the ibrous
shrubs and sticks and twigs that to-
gether form the paper.-popular Sci
ence Monthly.

THE mans a born coward. TAKE
nv word he'll be missing one OF these
days" Thus spoke one officer. An
other was of much the same opinion
"All the same, I've seen those nervous
fellows turn up trumps."
The man they spoke of was one OF
the obvious coward-a self conscious
covard-one who had been made to
believe in cowardice, says the Wash
ington Post. But, unlike many others,
he was less afraid at night when he
could not be seen, than by day, when
distrustful eyes were upon him. me
darkness might have been saved him.
One day he heard some one say that
the worst result of having a coward
in trench was the effect on the other
men, and in truth fear and cowardice
are about equally contagious. The
maxim smote the coward. He kept
saying to himself: "1f make the 9TH
ers funk / had better be away" and
constantly against his will, schemes
OF escape of the maddest sort rioted
in his brain, but brought no decision.
At last his rage of indecisive misery
reached a pitch that became intol-
cradle. The night was moonless but
clear, and from the pit Of the trench
the stars seemed to look down with a
pitiless scrutiny, which added to his
Indebtedness more than any sane or
solid mind could well understand. Be-
fore he knew what he was doing the
coward slipped over the parapet and
began to make his tremulous way to-
ward the German trenches. Fur
Their fears now seized him, and he
sidled off to the left, afraid to sur
render, afraid to return. So. for a
while, he wandered, an insane vag-
rant. through the purgatory OF no
mans land beneath the accusing stars.
He could not remember afterward
how he came to see so suddenly the

5000 GIRLS LURED TO THE STREETS
YEARLY, SAYS new YORK MAGISTRATE

Brady, Of Albany. lie said his expert
ence was that these halls were the
downward stepping stones that lured
most girls to evil ways.
Burdette G. Lewis, commissioner of
correction, assured the magistrates
that the new parole law took none Of
their powers from them, but gave girls
better chance to reform. The parole
board takes from the magistrate the
duty OF investigation In each case, he
said, and already had shown favor
able results. The sending Of street
women to the workhouse, time after
time, for terms Of q week, he held to
be pernicious.
The new system Of paroling first Of
tenders and aiding them to do bet
ter, and the sending OF old offenders
to the workhouse for long terms he
believed to be the proper system for
correcting the evil, Through long
terms the old offenders could be stud
led and time given toprovide for them
properly when released.
