A FINE COLLECTION
'Of Animal Skeletons Arrives With
Him at Ontario Veter-

BY S. M. ADAMS:
It is not a prepossessing -looking
'adificee. It might even be tertned
-dingy and decrepit. It shows every
indication of having been subjected
lie `the elements for. very many
years, and its red !bricks and
painted woodwork bear testimony
lib a longperiod of ]faithful ser-
vice. But "if it be otherwise anti-
•qua'ted, yet iitl an upstairs room
there stands a thing that is signif-
icant , of .science in one, of her.lat-
est phantasies. ,This is nothing
more or less than a horse built by
the hand q4 man with 'such
per-
fection of detail that one, of 1'a -
tune's own equines might accept it
.as a brother.
This marvel oft'humman creative
genius arrived only the other day
At the Ontario Veterinary College.
Temperance street, from Paris,
France, where it was constructed,
and it is said that it is the only
one .of its kind on the American
continent. Built entirely of wood
fibre, and painted to reprsent the
.real horse even to the minutest de-
tail, it is, indeed a (tr:iumph of
.mechanical skill, It is' in. the semb-
lance of pony a on and is built n the
proportions . given by
•beast. From skin to inmost entrail
it is a faithful replica. Began at
the outside and keep on going, and
you will find that by unfastening
one series of hooks after another,
you have reduced the ,;specimen to,
its lowest common denominator.
Scattered on the floor will be a lit-
ter of brains, muscles, intestin.es,.
skin,: ar 11,2 forth, and only blood
and gore will be lacking. It must
be so much nicer to go about a
study of the plans and elevations
of a horse in this way than to pull <'
apart a real. specimen with alt sorts
of murderous weapons. ,
Every Vein and. Artery.
Every vein and every artery is
modelled ` in, and 'painted blue nr
red accordingly. Every muscle can
be.removed and studied separate-
ly, f e:art, liver, lungs, ;stomach,
digestive organs[ -!everything is
there if you carry the unhitching
processfar enough. {Even the
head can be dissolved, so' to speak
into the smallest of its component
pants. The eye can be fully inves-
tigated; the brain can be pulled
apart and every section separated
from its fellows. Cells and blood -
vessels, nerves, and muscles in each
part of the body are adequately
shown, and the enterprising stud-
ent can go to this artificial equine

The eminent savant who erected
the original horse from which the
one at the Veterinary College was l
copied must have spent a very
long 'time at his task. Not only •
'does the creature imply a working I
knowledge of the "innards" and 1
"outtaalds" of a Horse, but also a
constructive abilityof no mean or-
der.

and where a thing is; it is another
thing to build a composite structure
out of thousand and one little
things, each of which has a place
in the completed structure that is
fixed and appointed, and fnlom
which it must not vary.
Taken to Pieces
The Star Weekly was afforded an
opporttuinty (to see the horse soon
after it had 'been taken from the
crate in which it arrived. Ademon-
st;llator ,took it to pieces, bit by
bit, and pointed out the different
things of interiest. The head of
the animal Was disintergrated, and
the eye -ball examined. The neck
was Oaken apart, and the oeso-
phagus
1 , s
phagus and 'trachea pointed out.
The outer shell body was in turn
removed, and the entrails disclos-
ed to view. if carried to its log-
ical conclusion, nothing - worth
speaking about would have been
leer standing.
Such is remarkable creation which
has been purchased id teach the
young idea how to deal with a de-
feotive horse', and 'how to know
when anything is or 15 not out of
order in a real live. specimen. In
time there will be no seed of al-
cohol and other preservative liq
uids, if inventive genuilses continue
to produce imitations of this sort;
and if information is really the sine
cerest form of flattery, Eq uus Na-
turalis will be flattered indeed"at

Bran and Screenings.
The federal department, looking aft.
er the purity of feeding stuffs, has de-
cided that the mixing of screenings
and bran is not bran and must be sold
as bran and screenings. The millers
of the country in their interstate com-
merce transactions have made a stren-
uous effort to change this ruling. They
desire the privilege of raising wheat
screenings with wheat bran and label-
ing the mixture "bran." Feeders will
not deny that screenings have feed
value, but since screenings contain the
weed seeds, chaff and straw In the
wheat when originally shipped the
mixing of bran with screenings reduces
the feeding value very materially, and
from no standpoint can it be consid-
ered the equal of pure bran. Farmers
should buy pure bran and not a mix-
ture of bran and screenings at the
price of bran.
Silage For Beef Cattle.
There is no roughage which Is of
more importance to the producer of
beef cattle than silage. The value of.
silage to tbe beef producer varies con-
siderably and is dependent upon a
large number • of other factors. If
rough fodders are scarce or are high
priced, 1f the grain is high priced or if
the grain is so near a good market that
much of it can be readily sold, silage
will have a greater value tbau if the
opposite conditions exist. It is a great
saver of grain regardless of whether
it is to be fed to stock cattle or fatten-
ing cattle. it will lessen the grain
feeding by practically the same amount
as is contained in the silage.

the material ut Mum:
One bright morning Dir. Higginboth-
am entered the reception room at the
Institute ii'or Original Research and
sent in u card to Dr. Carfelton. When
the doctor nppeared Mr. Higginbotham
Said:
"Doctor, I am not a scientific man,
but 1 have been thinking on some of
the results obtained by your experi-
ments, and I have come to believe that
a certain something 1 wished produced
is possible."
"Be seated, sir,"- was the response.
The two sat down, and Dr. Carrelton
gave his visitor his attention.
"As you are aware," Mr. Higginboth-
am proceeded, "this is an age of inter-
est
nter
est in human beings physically and
scientifically considered. A few years
ago the great Edison asserted that
memory was a camera by which events
are photographed on plates to be called
up at will. Then came another scien-
tist proposing a possible clew to deter-
mining sex by watching plants, and
lastly a president of the Association
For the Advancement of Science has
indicated that the immortality of the
soul may be proved scientifically.
"The especial branch of these dis-
coveries to which 1 would direct your
attention is the photographic nature
of the human brain. Thirty years ago
a single photograph of an object was
taken; now a quick succession of pic-
tures of a moving object passed before
the eye gives motion. By the develop-
ment of this principle photographic
plays are enacted on the mimic stage.
Likewise infinitely delicate photo-
"kraphs on the human brain produce
impressions which make up our rela-
tions with the outside world."
Mr. Higginbotham paused and then
added sententiously, "In other words,
photo plays are' enacted on the same
principle as those of human life,"
Dr. Carreltou's nttouilon changed
from Indifference to interest. "1 don't
i "h thematter ever
know " he said, "that tte
ocrnrred to ire in exactly that light."
"My object in seeking this inter-
view," resumed MI. Illgginbothttm, "is
not to enunciate a thought, but to
consult with ,you on the application of
n principle. I have :tectunullti�d a
large fortune, sir, and desire to trans -
Mit
it to my desceudnnts. 1 have one
child, a son, but lie has met with a
misfortune in the loss of a girl' he loved
and has towed teal' he will never
marry. He eschews woolen's society,
nourishing his love for the dead

lived, On ::ccomtt of his celibacy, tit
his death the fortune that I have spent
heaping n i must be
years of toil in
i I
disin tegrn ted."
l r rased. Dr, Carrolton
The speaker p C
said that he did not understand the
connection between his enunciation of
a' principle and this disappointment in
his son's celibacy, whereupon Mr. Hig-
ginbotham proceeded,
"My son's love I do not consider In
the nature of romance. hut 11 material
condition. Indeed, today since the
death of the' object it is reduced to a
.matter of memory. No more mental
photographic pictures of her are im-
printed on his brain; instead of photo
-
'graphic 'graphic action, so to speak. there Is
photographic sameness, just es before
the moving we had but a single Im-
movable picture."
"1 think I begin to get your drift,"
said Dr. Carreiton. "What you pro-
pose is to start again the life pictures
on your son's brain, producing impres-
signs which may tend In .another di-
rection,"
"Exactly!" "exclaimed the visitor, evi-
dently much pleased at being under•
stood.
"And you would like me to invent a
process by which this may be done?

solve' which 1 believe will one day he
solved. but 1' fear that l am not now
up to the work, 'However, 1 will think
It over and If 1 hit Upon any method
worth the trying I will advise you."
The visitor departed, leaving his ad-
dress, but owing to the difficulty of
the problem lie had left for solution
he had but little hope of the scientist's
success, He heard nothing from Dr.
5 Carreiton for several months, then re-
ceived a note inviting Min to call on

Crasping Dr. Carrelton's hand and
squeezing it so that the scientist rued
out with pain, the enthusiastic FIiggin-
