The crescent shaped sand dunes which move in thousands across the desert of Islay, near La Joya, Peru, have been Investigated by Astronomer S. I. Bailey, who found the points of a crescent to be 160 feet apart, while the convex side measured 477 feet, and the greatest width was more than 100 feet. The estimated weight was 8,000 tons, yet it was carried 125 feet a year by the prevailing south winds. FITS, St. Vitus'Danoe :Nervous Diseases pert manentlycured by Dr. Kline's Great.

DROPSY ana will, hat of tatliialili and Br' inaiani I Al'U'rikLn ( r '$f TRAINING HORSES FOR WAR. Fourfooted Regulars Have to Take Long Course of Lessons. Germany needs 1,000,000 horses for cavalry and artillery to put her colos sal forces In the field; France re quires probably 750,000, and even Great Britain needed as many as 230, 000 in South -Africa, whilo she was fighting the Boers. Although in England in peace time mounts only two-thirds of her cavalry her horse bill amounts to about 400, 000 a year a figure which may bo multiplied by four or five for the Ger man army. In most countries omnibus, farm and domestic horses are registered as be ing available in time of war for mis cellaneous service, and for this any thing from 130,000 to $150,000 a year may be paid by a military nation. France spends upward of $600,000 a year on horses for her great armies. As a general rule, says a writer in the Circle, the recruits are five years old ar.d cost $200 each. Cavalry charges vary from fifteen to sixteen hands in hefght, and sharp rules have been laid down about their shape, action and . treatment. There ore regular schools where the raw four legged recruit Is trained. His educa tion embraces the fearless swimming of deep and wide rivers. It is extremely interesting to see a thousand four-legged recruits drawn up In a rlni around the Instructor, who opens tfte proceedings with a sharp shot .from an army revolver. The animals are taught to gallop fear lessly up to a line or square of Infan try, who are blazing away with their rifles, of course loadede with blank cartridges. ' Lastly comes a charge upon bat teries of quick-firing cannon. It is worth noting that when smokeless powder came Into general use it was found that thousands of horses which woud face without flinching the smoke of guns using black powder balked and shied at the sinister flash and roar of cordite and melinite. There appears to be as much Indi viduality among horses as among men. Some take the flash and report very quietly, and are passed on to more severe trials, while others rear and try to bolt in abject terror. 'The riding masters intrusted with the education of these horses are espe cially selected for their quietness, kindness, self-control and patience, united with courage, firmness and the absolute conlidcnce born of tried and consummate horsemanship. Horse and man are trained together in tho various armies. The French cavalry recruit goes through no fewer than 112 separate lessons in revisions before he is con sidered fit to get upon his horse, which is trained simultaneously. , Bo are taught to swim burdened with full equipment; both are thoroughly ac customed to all sorts of startling nois es, from the crack of a revolver to the ear-splitting roar of pack d artillery. Besides the riding school training, there is also field work across coun try with steeple-chasing, jumping over hurdle, and even over the dinner ta ble, where a silver set feast has been spread. Not so much as a folded nap kin must be displaced by the flying leap of the cavalryman right over the table. One part of the charger's edu cation shows him how to lie prostrate on the field of battle and shield his rider from hostile bullets, as the latter crouches behind the faithful creature. So perfectly are cavalry horses trained that every great war beholds the curious spectacle of riderless horses galloping to the charge In per fect line. Thus at Balaklava the front rank of one regiment was composed almost entirely of riderless horses, their masters having been dropped by the Russian sharpshooters. The Tablet. An Ohio author, now In Chicago, recently had a visit from a friend who still lives in the town where the two were boys together. He gives this accqnnt of one memory of that call. " 'Nesbit,' said he, with the picasantest kind of a look on his face, 'you remember that little old house on Main street where you were born?' When he said that iti brought up a vision of that heuse as clear as the reality. ' I saw the queer little windows, the nice, friendly door, the yard, the lilacs everything. 'Yes, Bill,' I said with emotion, T remem ber very well.' 'Well,' he said, 'the folks have gone and put a tablet on that old house.' At first I couldn't speak. I bad all I could do to keep the tears from coming. The ' fglks hadn't lost sight of me. then! They knew what I had been doing. A tab let was, I admitted to myself, some what beyond my deserts, but but there It was. When I could speak I said: 'And what does the tablet say, Bill, old man,' Biil looked away out of the window, 'Main street,' said he soft'y." Argonaut. Not Rude.

Edward Sims the other fnornlng. When Mr. Sims came in he waB asked to investigate, and much to his sur prise found in the stove pipe, only a few feet from the gas flame, a red headed woodpecker. How the bird got into that predicament cannot be ex plained, but he must have entered at the chimney top and worked his way downward. Perhaps he was lazy and was looking for a nolo to build his nest in, without drilling one into the wood. His bright coat of red, white and black was subdued In a sooty browu, and in outward appearance he resembled the chimney sweep, and he was gasping for fresh air when released. Columbus Dispatch. The Busy Bee. ' When you eat a spoonful of honey you have very little notion as to the amount of work and travel necessary to produce it. To make one pound of clover honey bees must deprive 62,- 000 clover blossoms of their nectar and to do this requires 2,750,000 visits to the blossoms by the bees. In other words, one bee to collect nectar to make one pouud of honey must go from hive to flower and back 2,750,000 times. Then when you think how far these bees sometimes fly in search of these tlover fields, oftener than not one or two miles from the hive you will begin to get a Binull idea of the number of miles one of the in dustrious little creatures must travel in order that you may have the pound of honey that giveB them bo much trouble. It may also help you to understand why the bee is unamiable enough to stiug you if you get In its way. When one has to work so hard to accomplish so little, it is quite Irritating to be interfered with. Philadelphia Record.

On the Thomas farm is Hnd horse. The animal was re cei turned out to pasture and it was ne mry to lead him to water. After he bd been led several times It was seen he never would be able to find his way by himself. Much' to the surprise of his owner, the dog, who has always been attach ed to the horse, was noticed one day walking in front of the horse leading the-way to the brook. He kept just In front and out of the way of the hoofs of the old horse and barked frequent ly. The dog waited until he had bad his fill of water and then led him back to pasture. He does this three or four times a day. When the old horre, which went blind this spring, wants a drink he whinnies, and Tom goes on the jump for the pasture and attends to his duty. Port Jefferson Dispatch to New York World. Does Aura Cast Reflection.. "Here is an experiment that any one can try. Some fine summer morning when there is lots of dew on the grass and when the sun has been up twenty or thirty minutes, and is so that your body will cast a long shadow, stand so that the head of your shadow lies where there is lots of dew on the grass or vegetation. I have often done this, and for a space of about two feet about the head of my shadow there would be a glow, or the dewdrops would be brighter than elsewhere. Was this caused by the sun's rays passing through my aura? Has any one else ever noticed the Eame? W. W. P. You are all familiar with the ap pearance of beat vibrations as they rise over a hot stove, or from any surface superheated by a summer sun. There is an "indirect radiator" In the floor near my desk, under a farge window. When the radiator is hot I can see these heat vibrutions. When the radiator is only warm the vibra tions are not visible to the naked eye. But at times when I can't see the beat waves at all, I can. If the sun Is just right, see their reflection much magni fied on the polished back of Ellen's desk where the sunlight strikes. I have noted this several times. Query. If the sun shining through the atmosphere will magnify Invisible heat waves, causing them to throw a visible shadow, why may not the aame wonderful sun and atmosphere make vlsible.the vibrating shadow of an oth erwise invisible aura? Nautilus. To Imitate a Rooster. Tho natural history class had Just begun and the teacher was telling the boys about various animals. Although she made her little talk as entertaining as possible, she noticed that some members of the class were not paying very strict attention. Thinking to re vive their flagging interest, the teacher said: "Now, boys, r want every one to imitate tho noise made by some ani mal. I will give you two minutes to choose your animals, and then, we'll see how well you can do it." The two minutes being up, the room was filled with sounds seldom heard outside a menagerie. Squealing of pigs, barking dogs, braying of donkeys, roaring of lions, twittering of birds and mewfng of cats issued from every cor ner. The children seemed to enjoy themselves Immensely, with one ex ception. Johnny Small sat in utter si lence. Teacher noticed his closed mouth, so when the noise had some what subsided she said: "Johnny, why aren't you imitating some animal? Can't you think of any?" "I am," responded Johnny, quite so berly. "Sh-sh! I'm keepln' perfectly quiet, 'cause I'm a rooster, and I'm lay in' an egg!" Washington Star. Dr. Martin's Helpers. "The only way you can help is by keeping very quiet," said Dr. Martin to the little group of boys nud girls waiting to hear how Miss Edith was that morning. "She doesn't need bou quets now, and you must not ring the door-bell to ask how she is, but Just keep as still as mice. If she is kept quiet a few days, I think she will soon bo well." Then the busy Doctor drove away down the street. There were a great many sick people just then, and he had little time to talk to any one who was well. The children whispered about Miss Edith though they were a whole block away from her house, and were Borry they could not see her. On Sundays It seemed very strange to have a new teacher in the classroom, and, though Miss Mary did her best for the children, they all missed their dear teacher. "I don't see how she can be quiet with all thoso old wagons rumbling past," said Nellie, as eight hoofs pound ed over the paved street. "I wish the streets were all soft and dusty like they are at grandpa's in the coun try. "I wish they all had carpet over them," said John. "I guess It doesn't do much good for us to whisper when they rattle and bang over the stones." "Hur !" began Tom, and then he clapped both hands over his mouth. "I've got a plan," he whispered loud ly. "Let's get a lot of that grass Mr. Richards wanted taken away from his lawn and spread it on the streets. It won't take us long with our little wag ons." They all wanted to shout "Hurrah!" at that, but they remembered what the Doctor had said, and scurried away like mice for their little waigons and wheelbarrows in the neighborhood. Very soon there was a thick, soft grass carpet in front of Miss Edith's house, and the children were working like beavers up and down the street. The hoofs did not make a great noise after that, and even the heavy wheels moved softly over the grass. "Hero! What are you youngsters doing, scattering straw up and down the street?" said a gruff voice, and there stood a big policeman all shin ing .with brass buttons, and a heavy frown on his face. "You'll have to stop this nonsense at once." "It's because Miss Edith is sick," said Roy, wiping the big drops off his red face. "Please don't talk quite so loud. The wagons rattle so, and Dr. Martin said she must be quiet. You won't make us take it off, will you?" "No, indeed!" said the big man, kindly. "Go. right ahead, and I'll help." When the policeman took a big wheelbarrow and carted several loads of grass from the lawn the children said he could wheel as much as a dozen wagons could carry, and the task was soon complete. Dr. Martin came next morning and was much surprised to find the street eo quiet, until he saw the grass carpet. "M'"3 Edith is much better, chil dren, 'ie said, kindly. "So much bel ter tLt I have just been telling her about my crowd of little helpers. I wish every patient I have could have such kind helpful neighbors. Your carpet is doing more good than my medicine." And in a very short time Miss Edith was back in her place, well and happy, all because of her Doc tor's helpers, she said, with a bright smile.
