JUDGING HORSES AGE
Teeth Furnish Fairly Accurate In
dicatiOn--YearIy Changes Which
Ordinarily Occur.

Until horse is over 10 years Old
the teeth furnish an indication OF
age which Is fairly accurate. In es-
timating the age Of horse, only
the three pairs Of front teeth or
nippers on each jaw are considered.
Horses, like human beings, have
two sets Of teeth;the first set known
as milk teeth being replaced Ivy
permanent teeth New teeth have
deep cups, or fluctuations, at their
centers. AS the teeth Wear down
these cups disappear.
A colt does not usually get its
first pair os nippers until it is a few
days old, but has all three pairs by
the time it is 6 to 10 months old.
Until Il colt is 3 years old, however,
its general appearance is relied
upoi. largely to Indicate Its age.
Following is a description OF the
yearly changes which ordinarily oc-
cur in the teeth Of a horse.
One year.-'The center pair OF
milk incisors, known as the pinch
ers, and the pair next to them,
known as the intermediates, are
well through the gums and in con-
tact, but the corner pairs do not
yet meet on a level.
Two years. The pinchers and
the intermediates indicate that they
are being crowded by the perma-
nent>teeth, as they are pushed free
from their gums at the base. BY
the time the colt is 2 10 years old
the middle pinchers should be
through. The permanent teeth are
much larger than the temporary
ones.
Three years.-The middle pin
cheers are large enough for use.
Their deep cups show plainly. The
milk intermediates are about 70 be
shed.
Four years. The permanent in
termediates appear at 3 IL years
and are ready for use at 4. The
corner teeth give evidence that the
permanent corners are coming.
The cups in the pinchers are about
one third gone. (The tusks, cr
canine teeth, Of male colts may ar
pear about this time.
Five years. The temporary cor
ner teeth are shed at 4 ID and the
permanent ones are ready to use.
The horse has now what is known
as full mouth, all permanent in
cisors being ready to use. The
cups Of the first pair are about two
thirds gone.
Six years. The cups in the cen
ter pair have nearly disappeared.
In the second pair they are about
two-thirds gone.
Seven years. The cups from the
second are now gone. There is a
notch in the upper corner tooth
where it overlaps the lower one.
Eight years.-The cups have all
worn mt IF tba Io,var ,,;,,pare ,,a

Of younger animals. This practice,
known as "Bishoping, may be de-
tected if the shape Of the tooth and
the absence Of the ring Of enamel
which surrounds the natural cup
are noted. After a horse is IL
years old its condition is more inn
portant than its age in determining
values.

MALE OSTRICH BUILDS NEST
Sets on Eggs at Night During the In
cubation Which Lasts Forty to
Fifty Days.

After pairing. thH ostrich begins to
make his nest. II i the male alone
that performs this duty. To do il, he
SquatS upon the ground. and, halanc-
ing himself upon his breaStbone
scratches up the earth with his legs
and throws it behind him. When he
has dug out enough on one side to suit
him he turns round and begins to dig
on another side, and continues this
operation until he has made hole
large enough for him to sit in comfort
ably. \ few days after the nest is
finished the female begins to lay one
egg every alternate day for eighteen
or twenty days. She then rests for q
while which time varies from four to
ten days, and then lays more. A pair
of oStricheS yield about forty eggs,
though it is not unusual for well-fed
well-kept pair to yield fifty to sixty
eggs. The eggs are placed so as to
leave no space between them. The
male and the female brood alternate
~. At night the male is always on
the nest, as it possesses greater
warmth than the female.
These birds perform their duties
with the greatest skill, without any
noise or breakage of the eggs. The
incubation lasts fOrty-five days on an
average sometimes fifty days, but new
er continues beyond that. When the
chicklings hatch out they can be heard
trying to break the shell of the egg.
Sometimes they succeed in doing so,
but usually the father breaks the egg
under the breast bone. tears the inside
skin with his bill, and frees the chick
ling. Upon first reaching the air the
chickling remains limp and weak. But
the warmth of the parent soon revives
it, and a few hours afterWard it be-
gins to run about, exercising its long
legs, topping over at each step, and
recommending again its stumbling
Journey. Four days after their hatch
ing the chicklings begin to eat. They
run after insects and swallow small
pebbles. The father and mother do
not help their little ones to find food.

New Headqear in Paris.

A new headdress strange to the
French capital has been seen in the
streets Of Paris. It Is the famous blue
bonnet of the Polish militia, which is
being worn by the soldiers of the new
Polish army. Otherwise their uniform
is that Of the French soldier. For
some months, at the camp of Mont
lucon, where a number of Polish pris-
oners are interned, the national head
dress, made by the prisoners them
selves and ornamented with the Polish
colors, red and white, has been worn
by them on their way to and from
work. They are very anxious not to
be taken by the French people for
Germans or Austrians. In the court
yard Of a chateau in which they are
interned the prisoners congregate, in
their leisure hours, and sing part
songs. On July IA, the anniversary of
the fall Of the Bastile, they began
their concert with the "Marseillaise."
Needless to say, the Polish prisoners
receive preferential treatment.

Maonitude In Modern War.

The magnitude of the war, as a
whole, is repeated in every phase of
its activity, and in no way more so
than in its instruments Of war. AS
we hsyeT more than once remarked,
says the Scientific American, it has
been necessary to multiply our units
of measurement by from 10 to 100.
Weapons which were thought massive
and powerful in 1914 are puny in 1917
Thus, heavy artillery, whose weight
tied it down to fixed fertilization, Is
now moving merrily over the field Of
battle. Where, formerly, we talked
in millions, now we talk freely in bill
lions. Before the war % to 80 knots
was battle-cruiser specifically we
have such ships of from 10000 to
100000 horse power steaming at 35 to
40 knots. A notable instance of this
growth is in the field of aviation,
where the British have airplanes of 600
horse power and the Italians have gone
up to 1000. And the end is not yet.

MOURN DEAD Chief
Russian Peasants Fall on Knees
Before Urn of Ashes.
Member Of American Commission to
New Empire Explains Keys to
Their Political Play.

"The keys to the Russian political
play are, after all, simple, and to he
found in simple events" says Charles
Edward Russell, who was sent by Pres
ident Wilson with the American COM
mission to new Russia. Here is one
such simple event as he gives it in
Hearst's Magazine:
There is place on the Trans
Siberian railroad called Passing Point
No. 81, Il brown little speck on the
illimitable emptiness of the Siberian
plains. On the 23d of May there came
marching up to it a procession of
farmers-about forty of them, l think
carrying red flags. They tramped
solemnly along what in Siberia, by Il
violence of speech. is called a road.
and is, in fact. not otherwise than Il
trail of ruts in black gumbo mud.
"a passenger train was coming from
the east, from NladivoStok. AT Pass
ing Point No. 81 it took the sidetrack
to wait for the train it was to meet.
OF a sudden the prOcessOnists were
seen TO line up in front of the baggage
car. to fall on their knees there, to lift
their hands in attitudes of prayer, the
while they uttered strange, wailing
cries and many wept.
'What were they crying about? They
had learned that in that baggage car
were the ashes of a Russian revolu-
ZIONIST, an old-time hero of the long
long struggle. He had been condemned
by the car to one of the worst priS-
ons in coolest Siberia; he had man
aged to escape and in the end to get
to America. There he died, and his
body was cremated. Now his ashes In
a draped memorial urn were being car
ried in state back to that free Russia
he had dreamed of and suffered for
But note:
"Of the peasants that fell on their
knees before that handful of dust that
day. about one-half could not read. All
of them, you might think, lived in a
region farther from the world and its
affairs than is Cape Nome from the
Bowery. Yet all of them knew well
enough the name of this dead hero and
all his deeds, and instinctively all
knelt before his ashes that they might
testify at once their reverence for him
and the fervor of their own revolu-
tionary faith.
But what did that procession mean,
wandering red-fagged along the black
ruts of lonely Siberia? 1t meant that
the peasants were making demon
stration.' Demonstration about what?
Why, if you will believe me, against
the Austrian governments sentence of
death against Frederick Adler, slayer
of the Austrian prime minister.
"And there you are: that is Russia
Also, you may see in this incident how
deep in the heart of every peasant and
toiler are at least the rudiments of the
revolutions creed"

AMERICANS GO THE LIMIT
Speed of Motorcycles Used by United
States Soldiers Attracts Atten-
ton in Paris.

All Paris is familiar now with the
sight of huge motorcycles ridden by
big fellows in campaign hats and guild
ed through the streets at alarming
speeds by sure and steady hands, says
war correspondent. 1t seems that
the ordinary French motorcycle has
something like three horsepower, while
these American military motorcycles
develop II horsepower. This leads the
French to observe that Americans love
power and a lot of it. In their ma
chimes they must have 1t.
One of the Paris papers has been at
pains to look up record made in a
24-hour race on the Sheepshead Bay
track not long ago. Somebody on q
mechanical red devil with two wheels
maintained during that period, it
seems, an average speed of hundred
miles an hour. The French common
tator notes the figures and hopes that
the American staff motorcyclists who
carry dispatches between American of
ficerS and the various bureaus of the
French war department will not make
it point of national honor to equal
the Sheepshead Bay record on the
Boulevard Saint-Germain. One fan
cies that the Frenchman who makes
the uggestion-mildly, as he says
really thinks that the mad Americans
are quite capable of going anywhere as
fast as their machines will Let them

1.-THE farmers of France are in far
worse condition than perhaps you
know. They have literally lost every
thing except their souls. After the
last retreat of the German army, the
entire countryside was devastated.
No living thing remained, no birds, no
animals, no trees, no crops-nothing.

their former homes and buildings were
demolished"
Help is needed and needed quickly.
Our funds will be used to buy food,

terials, and other necessities as re-
ported to us by the War Relief Clear
ance House. Every gift will be marked,
Given with gratitude and good will
from the farmers of America-through

above statement is from a pamphlet
issued by the Overseas Acre Fund,
which is carrying on a campaign to

Feions Blindness. Is Freed,

A professor of the Sorbonne, the
great French university, recently OBJ
tanned his release from German mill
tary prison by remarkable exercise
of will power.
He fell into the hands of the Ger
mans in 1915. Deciding at once to get
free in some way, he feigned blind
ness. From that time 1t was impos-
sible for the German military doctors
or eye specialists to catch him off his
guard. They subjected him to the
severest tests, such as sudden appari-
lions of unfamiliar and unexpected
objects, sudden transitions from COM
plete obscurity to dazzling light. He
was tortured by scientific ways of
verifying sightlessness, but never once
departed from a fixed, blank gaze, pre-
senting always an absolute absence OF
expression in his eyes. He was finally
declared totally blind and included in
a recent exchange Of permanently dis
abled prisoners.

French Drapery.

The French are pastmasters in the
art of draping fabrics. A Parisienne
has truthfully said that French taste
is distinctly feminine and as clear as
the Gallo language itself, says an ex-
change. 1t possesses the genius OF
curves, the secret of what is graceful
and the intuition of what brings about
harmony These characteristics are
all to be found in French art, French
industries and French creations.
It is in France that we find the
work of the most skilful hands, the
most artistic jewelry, the richest
clothes and the most beautiful hats. In
foreign countries the idea Of ugliness
or bad taste is never associated with
the women of France.

The interior of any one of the big
orange packing houses in either Flor
ida or California shows a wonderfully
systematic arrangement for grading
and sizing the fruit. There are a
dozen different sizes of oranges and
so automatic is the grading that every
box of oranges comes out with every
orange almost the exact size of its
companions. The result is oranges
which sell in the far Eastern markets
as low as one cent apiece-from this
to 80 or 60 cents a dozen. The only
things which must be left to human
judgment is the throwing out of culls
imperfect, too ripe or too green
specimens.
Nowadays in both Of the big orange
growing states the orange business Is
divided into two distinct and separate
industries-that of orange growing
and that of orange packing and ship
ping. The latter is handled by CO.
operative associations and very few
oranges are packed and shipped direct
by the orange growers themselves.
The same conditions apply to lemons
