Valuable Horses Sometimes Provided With Glasses. Although it may seem almost ludi- crous to 'clunk of, horses wearing spec- tacle, it is nevertheless a fact that horses ao sometimes wear then. The business of one well-known firm of op- ticians in this country consists largely in the manufacture of horse spectacles. The objeot of the spectacles is to pro- mote high-stepping. They are made of stiff leather, entirely enclosing the eyes of the horse, and the glasses used are deep concave and large in size. The ground seems to the horse to be raised, and he steps high, thinking he is going uphill or has to step over some obstacle.. This system of spectacle woa.ring is generally adopted while the horse is young, and its effect on his step and action is said to be remarkable. it has been discovered that the cause of a horse's shying is, as a rule, short sight, and it is now suggested that the sight of all horses should be tested, like that of children. It is maintained by those who have made a study of the subject that by a • little artificial assistance many valuable horses, which have become optically un- fit for their work, can be restored to usefulness.

DUST HAS ITS USES, P*rticles in the Air Serve to .Mod- erate the Temperature. We are apt to think of the dust that the air contains in greater or less quantities as simply an annoyance, and perhaps a source of disease, but the researches of scientists ;lave of late years revealed atmospheric dust to us in new lights. It appears that when the airs is very thick and hazy it may cc*atain dust particles to the number of from 10,000 to 20,000 in every cubic centi- metre, while a cubic centimetre of very clear air may contain only from a dozen up to a few hundred particles. The observations of the beat author- ities indicate that there is a relation between the quantity of dust and the temperature of the air. A .great amount of dust, it is averred, increas- es the temperature in the daytime and checks the fall of temperature at might, says the Philadelphia Record. The reason apparently is that the presence of dust serves as a obstruc- tion to the free radiation of heat through the air. The sunbeams pass through very pure, clear air without lending much heat to it, and at night the heat received by the ground dur- keg the day readily escapes through the same air but if the atmosphere is heavily laden with dust the sun's rays are partially arrested by the par- ticles which, becoming heated, in turn warm the air, and in like manner heat radiated from the earth at night is retained in the hazy layers of air in contact with its surface. Without its atmosphere, which serves as a coverlet to protect it against the fearful cold of space, the surface, of the earth would be frozen like that of the airless moon.Bat the latest researches seem to sho« that the beautiful atmospheric: blanket wrapped round our plataet varies in its power to retain heat in proportion to the amount of dust particles it contains. This is an instance of the unex- pected importance that the most min- ute phenomeiaa of nature frequently assumes when their true significance has been ascertained. A Very Great Height.

Tell a man that he hasn't the pluck of a rabbit, and if he doesn't disprove it by hitting you, he is certain at any rate to be extremely annoyed. Yet the taunt is a libel on the rabbit. A doe rabbit will fight like fury in de- fence of her young. She will charge like a battering ram and use those sharp incisors of hers to capital purpose. An old buck rabbit is not to be lightly tackled byweasel, stoat or even ferret. On the sanded floor of a small public house near Chestnut a ferret of long ex- perience was matched with an old lop- eared buck, the property of the land- lord. The ferret made straight for the rab- bit's throat, but the latter was in the air before master ferret could reach him, and leaping clean over 'the ferret's head, let out with those powerful hind legs of his a kick which hurled the ferret bodily against the wainscot. Twice the ferret returned to the attack, and twice he missed his grip and went hurtling through the air. The third repulse was enough for him. He knew he was beaten and could not be persuaded to stand up for a fourth round. —Pearson's Weekly. 44 Propitiating a Chinese God. At Wang Kong village, in the San Wui district, there was a certain god in the Tin Hau Temple, over which there was a hole in the roof, exactly above the head of this god. One of the worship- pers noticed this and said to the other villagers that he had had a dream that, as the god's head was suffering bee the leaking of the water from the roof, to any man who subscribed money to have the temple thoroughly repaired thea god would promise prosperity and a good harvest. A big sum of money was there- fore subscribed within a few days, and a huge illumination, accompanied by a theatrical performance, will take place in a few days to propitiate this god.— South China Post. .4.

Like United States, She is Late in Waking Up to Her Sins. Ireland has awakened to the nation- al values of her forests, but so late that radical measures will now be nec- essary to make up for past neglect. A commission appointed by the Crown to investigate the condition of Ire- land's foresta and to suggest measures for bettering it has just made public its report. The commission outlines cad vigor- ously urges the adoption of a large scheme for the State to plant about 700,000 acres with forest trees. This, with the 300,000 acres of existing for- est, would give Ireland 1,000,000 acres of forest land, an area .which the commission considers essential for the agricultural and industrial require- ments of the country. About 20,000 acres of this would be purchased by the State ion moun- tainous and rough regions and man- aged as State forest, says Harper's Weekly, while 500,000 acres, chiefly in small blocks, would be planted by the State but managed by private owners or by county councils. The facts that under the land pur- ahase acts much woodland formerly held in large,, locks is being sold in small parcels and lumbered and that there is snow opportunity for the Gov- ernment to acquire woods and land suitable for forests make it sp•ciaily urgent for the State to take immediate action. To show that such' a scheme of land acquisition and planting' is not im- practicable the commission cites the case of Denmark, an agricultural.
