Tho second and tbivd toes-are represented by splint bones, one on each side in the roar of the cannon-bone, not visible on tho sur face, but well known for their tendency to go wrong and make horses lame. In the earliest ages of man there were wild horses on all tho continents, but probably on none of tho islands, such as Australia. They differed from modern horses in having shorter skulls and deeper jaws. Their legs also were shorter and their feet smaller in pro portion to their bodies. They resembled overgrown zebras. Tho quarries con taining their remains are so common In river and lake beds of tho latest geological epoch that the name of Equus beds has been applied tn them. In South America has been found an ancestor of tho horse of tho s 'ino epoch called nippidlum. with many of tho peculiarities of the hinparions, but with a hea'd as largo as that of tho modem horse.

The stalls are designed in groups of three, and are designed, among other tilings, to make au ordinary box car available for thc purposes of transporting high class animals. A car of this description will contain four of these outlits, tims affording menus of shipping twelve animals. The construction is such that it is readily possible to take it apart and store it in a small space "when it is not desired for use; and when there is a demand for ils services it cnn be quickly put together again whenever lt is desired. Such a device Is particu larly desirable for servlco on shipboard and as a part of railroad equipment, as it dispenses with tho necessity of keep ing a number of cattle cars on hand for this class of traffic.

HOT BATH FOR ROBBERS Novel Merris of Beating Off Train Thieves. By moans of a recently patented idea, it is now proposed to fl?ht train rob bers by the use of r. bath of hot water. Thc train robbers vu mos cases resort to tho strategy of Hagging the train luk in the Ancestry of the Horse. -From Harper's Weekly. and boarding thc engine, which they take possession of and take tho train to a convenient place for the continu ance of their work. Tho invention re ferred t<? contemplates a system of piping encircling the engine in such a way that till avenues of approach aro covered and when confronted by the weapons of a gang of thieves tho Bath of Hot, Water engineer, without tho use of his hands and even when his hands are hold over his head in compliance to their order, ho can surround the engine with a curtain of hot water so that thc thieves will be blinded and otherwise disabled and forced to desist their further ef forts to secure their plunder. This sys tem is designed to protect in this man ner, not only thc entrances to the cab of tho engine, but also the stops and other parts of tho tender and the plat form of thc front car. This apparatus may be thrown Into operation from either side of tho engineer's cab in like manner, thus placing this means of protection at the command of tho fire man as .well as the engineer. Tho Idea, which is tho invention of George A, Copp, of Chicago, 111., calls for a system of piping connected with tho boiler, below the waterline, and carried around tho engine and tender and covering all tho vulnerable points. The pi]>os are supplied with spoon noz zles at frequent intervals and are man ipulated by lineo valves convenient to thc feet of thc engineer and fireman. Each of the valves control a different part of tho system in order that thc scalding waler may bo directed to (hat part from which tho advance ls being made. Thus om; lever will cause a curtain of hot water to fall around the rear of the cab, while a no titer projects streams around tho front of tho eu gine and the third throws a steaming jet over thc tender to tho platform of the first car of tho ti a in. which is gen erally the express car and the ono which tho robbers would naturally at tack at the outset of their operations. If the engineer linds himself confront ed from all directions, ho can press all three lovers and immediately sur round the engine with an envelope of hot water and steam. Mus.-um ls ??OO Yean Old. A museum of tho sixth century, B. C.. has come into the possession of the University of Pennsylvania. The mu seum is not big, being contained in a large earthen jar. but tho contents arc very valuable from a historical point of view. Whether the specimens were exca vated or purchased is not known, but they undoubtedly represent a collection which must have been made during thc time of Belshazzar, since it was found in one of the upper strata at Nip pur. Thc best specimen in the jar is an in scription containing the titles of Sar gon J., who lived about 3800 B. C. There is a black stone votive tablet of Ur-Gur, -Tot' B.

While lt is a matter of history that the first locomotive made and run in England was a small model of an or dinary road locomotive constructed in 117S4 hy William Murdock, lt is prob ably little known that this original en gine is still In existence, and has, wlth FinST LOOOMOTIVE MADE IN ENGLAND. in the past year, boen exhibited in Lon don by Messrs. Tangy es, Limited. The little locomotive is about fourteen inches high and nineteen inches long, with a width over the driving wheel of seven inches. The annexed reproduc tion of a recent photograph of lt illus trates jts makeup very clearly. There is an oblong board, mounted upon three wheels, with two driving wheels nt thc rear attached to a cronk axle, and one steering wheel in front, ar ranged under tho board, and running in a swivelling fork, which cnn be set by a tiller handle above. Behind the driv ing wheels is tlie boiler, which is a rec tangular vessel, three aud three-eighths inches-high, four and one-fourth Inches long, and three and one-eighth inches wide, made of copper. Through the boiler a flue passes obliquely, contract ing from a circular chamber forming the firebox to a s mall'fun ucl in the top of the boiler, which serves to carry off tlie products of combustion from a spirit lamp arranged to burn within tilo lirebox. The steam cylinder of the engine .is mounted on tito top of the boiler and the lower part passes Into it and is surrounded by steam. The piston rod passes upward and is at tached to the end of a vibrating beam, which passes to the front of the car riage and is pivoted in an upright pillar. The diameter of thc piston 16 titree-fourths inch, and the length of Its stroke is about two inches. As the For Train Robbers. piston passes up and down it causes tlie beam to rotate the driving wheels by means of a connecting rod attached to tho crank axle. A leaden weigh' is placed above the steering wheel t< balance the machine, and to prevent ?; tipping over when water ls In tin boiler.-Cassier's Magazine. "OREGON BOOT." Extraordinary Contrivance to Prevent Prisoner* From Kscitplnjr. Owing to the desperate character of William Rudolph and George Collins, alias Fred Lewis, the Union Bank robbers, writes Chief Desmond, of St. THE OKEGOX BOOT. Louis, in The Republic of that city, it has been decided to use the "Oregon boot" when the mon are placed in the train to bc brought back to Union, Mo., for trial. I have seen tho Oregon boot used but once in my experience in tlie Police Department. That was when Marion C. TTedirpcth was brought back to St. Louis for tlu> Glendale train robbery. Hedgpeth was regarded as a dangerous man, and thc California authorities who brought him back decided to put the boot on him. Hedgpeth say that it was useless to try to get away with lt on his leg and they got him here safely. Tho Oregon boot is so made that the weight ol' the lend band which en circles thc leg just above the ankle rests upon the floor when Hie prisoner is not walking. The weight is about eight or twelve pounds. It is fastened to tho heel of the shoo by strips of steel, which run down on either side. These strips are screwed lo the heel. When the prisoner stands or sits down the weight, therefore, is not upon the J leg. But when he walks he must lift ! the entire weight, and If he tries lo run ' or jump I nm told it will break the log. Some New <:illce ttnlc*.

The Lima beans are natives of warm count rici;, and therefore require a longor season. Tho gardener's ef fort is to shorten their period of growth in every way possible.

In almost every section we see men who have failed in business, and as tho last resort have gone to farming. It used to be a popular opinion that a man could farm when he had failed In everything else, but that time is past. A farmer today needs brain, coupled with muscle. He must bo the master of his operations and not the servant. A true farmer mal es hie farm furnish him the necessities as well as the comforts of lifo, and come luxuries, but above all, content ment and satisfaction. Three ele ments are necessary to make a suc cess in any calling, intelligence, In dustry and economy. Education, tho very best a farmer can acquire, should bo his, as a farmer needs Information In many lines. He is a manufactur er, salesman, chemist and entomolo gist, and coupled with some of those things he must he familiar with his farm. He must study bis environ ment and govern his operations ac cordingly. He must work his farm so as to get as much profit ncr arre as possible, and at the same time make his soil more productive. He must know what he wants to do, and thou stick to it through thick and thin, through high prices and low. By so doing he can establish a reputation as a producer of a certain article, and his profits will be much larger. The sec ond is industry. The man that is lazy and indolent and is always at thc corner grocery cultivating the soft side of a store box will never make a success at farming, such men will never be able to go to the bank and draw more than his breath. "He who would succeed must either hold or drive." Tho last is economy. The young man or old to succeed must practice economy. He must never never buy something he cannot afford just to koop up in a certain social set. or for any other reason. If we apply business methods to all of our observations as closely as other men do, success will crown our efforts, and the world will bo better by us having lived in it.-M. C.

To avoii future work in the way of spuddlnj out stubborn weeds, one had bette invest in bone meal or Borne fertilize freo of weed seeds.

Let it get eight or nine inches high before it gets its first cutting, and then ft should merely be clipped. To run the lawn mower often and close ly over new grass is one good way to kill it. After the roots are well sci and matted and the grass grows thick on the ground, it will not require so much water to keep it alive. Thick grass holds moisture arcusd thc roots, and will withstand long dry spells. Keep a wire rake with which to take off thc cut grass and leaves. Sharp-toothed rakes tear and loosen the grass roots.
