The Speed of Animals

According to the naturalists, no ami
NAL is known to have exceeded the
speed attained by the famous race
horse Sysbonby. Instantaneous photo
graphs show the full length Of one COM
plete stride as about 20 feet. In the
stride of the fastest racers the hind
quarters and limbs are raised consid-
erably higher than the shoulders, and
from this relatively great height
brought downward and forward, widely
separated from each other, as a sports
man says, ito avoid striking the fore
legs"
The hare, which is hunted with fast
hounds has not in reality the speed of
the dog. The dog. on the other hand.
dose not attain the speed of the horse.
The giraffe is said to run at the rate
of 10 meters per second under the most
favorable conditions. The elephant.
going at the rate OF two yards a sec
ond, carries a weight approximatine
that carried by six horses.

Claims More Food Crops and Less
Waste Will Reduce the Higt
Cost of Living.

Neutrality-suspicious. food crops
an dthe practice of household econ
omies were urged by Secretary of
Agriculture Houston recently as a
measure to help reduce the cost of
living. American families, he esti
mated. in a statement on the food
situation, waste in their kitchen an
nually more than s700,O00.00O worth
of edibles.
There is nothing in the situation
to justify hysteria, however, he de
clared, because there's no real short
age of food in the country.
Limitation of waste in the kitchen
he pointed out, would do much to
ward affording partial and immedi
ate relief from oppressive prices.

In New York the people you meet

of them say they do not like New

is strenuous. Much work must be

was surprised at how well satisfied
they are with New York and how
little they know of the country at
large. Several New Yorkers of big
affairs expressed the opinion that the
country is too large to hold together
that perhaps some day the country
might be split up to advantage. No
where else in all America have | ever
heard that thought before. i have
read it in history-in the years of
about 1860.

the church was an easy matter. Rev.

and drives o nthe way. So going to
church sometimes brings its own re-
ward
Rev. Harry y. Wilson came to Can
on City about 1899. He was pastor of
the Presbyterian church four or FIVE
years. 4ie was pastor during the
building of the new church. He was
one OF the most popular pastors who
ever came to Canon City-popular In
the town as well as in his own church
He usually preached just about twen-
~ minutes. which unquestionably
added 10 his popularity with those
who went to church. But he usually
said more in twenty minutes than
some preachers say in much longer
sermons.
