UNABLE TO EXPLAIN HORNS
Scientists at q Loss to Account for
Growth Which Sometimes Ap.
pears on Head Of Horse.

One Of the strangest freaks Of ma.
ture is the horse with horns. Such
horses are f0aled occasionally, and
have provided a rich field Of specula-
ton for scientists. Certainly the pres
ence Of the horns would seem to indi-
cate that in some far-away period this
animal was 50 provided by nature.
In most cases where horses have
been foaled with horns, the horns were
upon the forehead, and usually three
or four inches long. But a colt near
Rogersville, Tenn, the existence Of
which is on record, had q curved horn
just below the aperture Of the right
eye. This is approximately the same
position from which sprout the horns
Of many animals whose horns have q
fulf growth.
Despite this evidence Of a return to
some earlier state of development, no
trace Of their presence can be found
on any Of the skulls of horses which
belonged to other ages. Thousands
Of these skulls have been uncovered
In many lands. The oldest goes back
just 100000 years, and is of size
to indicate that the horse Of that time
was no larger than good-sized dog.

PROSPERITY BUILT ON VICE
Portuguese City Of Macao Has lona
Been Known as the Monte Carlo
Of the Orient

Macao is said to be the most pros.
porous bit Of Portuguese territory in
the world. 1t is the famous Monte
Carlo of the Orient" where gambling
and a considerable opium traffic have
their headquarters. Both these vices
are ones to which the Chinese are par
ticularly addicted, and Macao has be.
come great resort for the Weather
Chinese natives.
It lies on sandy peninsula. half
way on the trip between Hongkong
and Canton. The Portuguese acquired
1t In the olden time when they were
the most daring explorers and traders
In the world. Their descendants live
there still, but they have mingled and
intermarried with the Chinese until
what amounts to a new race has been
produced in the native-born Portuguese
colony in Macao.
Macao is prosperous city, as most
capitals Of the god Of chance are wont
to be. Various gambling games are
played, but the favorite is fan-tan, over
which the Chinaman can develop an
apparently disproportionate amount Of
excitement. In fan-tan, number Of
coins or counters are hidden under a
bowl. and the players bet on how many
will be left when the coins have been
counted off in tours. Simplicity can 70
no farther, but 1t is possible to lose
as much money over this primitive
form Of gambling as over the most
complicated variety known to the
West.
Chinese are the greatest gamblers
in the world. They will bet on any.
thing from the weather to the weight
OF a horse, whether they can afford
to lose or not. A wealthy Chinese
merchant will win and lose fortunes
with an air Of philosophic nonchal-
ance. while the poorest coolies will
drop weeks pay in ten minutes with.
out permitting the impassive gravity
of his countenance to be marred BY
anything more than panied frown.

First Naval Battle.

The first naval battle recorded in
the worlds history was that between
the Corinthians and the Corcyrans,
fought 1852 years ago. Corcyra, the
island off the coast Of Epirus, now
called Corfu, had been settled by Cor
infhians, and for centuries owed al
legiance to the mother city. In 884 B.
G. the Corcyrans declared their indie
pendence, and the Corinthians imme-
diately prepared fleet to reclaim
their colony. The Corcyrans sent out
q squadron to meet their foes. After a
furious contest the Corcyrans emerged
as victOrs. From that time on sea
battles were frequent, and all Of the
petty states Of Greece built navies.
The enmities engendered by that first
sea struggles resulted over two cen.
lures later in the Peleoponnesian war.
