Wild Horses Of Sable Island.

Ever since the dismal failure to
COlOnize Sable island in the Gulf of the
st. Lawrence. when Canada was New
France. there have been few dOmes-
tic animals on that bleak spot, relics
Of that ill-fated attempt. Some horses
were among them, probably survivors
of shipwrecks, for Sable island Is a
dangerous place and bears the name
of the Graveyard of the Gulf, from
the number Of gallant ships which
found their end thereabOuts. The
horses multiplied and developed into a
rough hardy little breed Of ponies.
More than one hundred of these
wild native ponies perished during the
last winter, the government steamer,
Lady Laurier. reported the other day
when she arrived from trip to the
Atlantic graveyard. The covering Of
the island grass by drifting snow dur
ing stormy winter was declared re-
sponsible for the deaths. 1t is likely
that another such winter will put an
end to this unique little horse colony.

Papyrus Proves That Ancient Egyp-

Egyptian physicians IN the days Of
the Hebrew patriarchs knew the heart
Is the center of a system, throughout
which it's pulsations are felt. They
performed operations, made diagnoses,
catalogued cases and verdicts, and
pursued investigations In a scientific
spirit, according to study Of the
Edward Smith papyrus made by Prof.
]. ii. Breasted of the University Of
Chicago.
Professor Breasted declared the
ancient document lay In coffin for
"some three and half millenniums."
Pointing out that it was discovered
by an American, Edwin Smith, the
Chicago orientalist asserted 1t con-
tanned "lncOmparably the most impor-
tant body of medical knowledge which
has survived to us from the ancient
Orient anywhere"
The passage about the heart reads
in part: "There is in 1t (the hearD
a canal leading to every member of
the body. Concerning these, If the ply
sician places the fingers on the back
Of the head, on the hands, on the
pulse, on the legs, he discovers the
heart, for the heart leads to every
member and 1t beats in the canals of
every member"

Last Saturday has been entered a:
another step iii the tangled career OF
the Chemung#AIine- of Masonic.
Long Rosasco. familiarly known as

was due the kibble Cooke Company,
but in order to secure this portion he
was forced to hold up the entire

There is lien on the property held

situation one of many angles. There
is question as to the best method

it be possible for some one else tc
