WHICH IS THE liEE? .
tsi Pound ot Lead of a Pound ol
Feather Weigh More?
Th la vol He question with the
school couiuiiUeu uit-n of omtn tliuo
Was, we are lold "VVhlcii is the
heavier, a ponim of fi-uliit.-1-t; or a
touud of lead?' The first raili an
awer used ain.osl always lo be, "A
pound ul lead.' Tlieu, of course,
from tbe older pupils would come tua
reply, "Uotn aiiKe."
If this question were asked to-day,
the old-time querist uiiglil receive a
decided surprise; tor Itie pound of
leathers could eaiily be proved to bu
the heavier. A simpe cxperUient la
all tbe evidence needed.
With any accurate stales welsh out
a pound of lead, using orulnaiy shut
for convenience, four tue shot Into
one ol Uit pans of a balance. Kor the
leathers a llstit muslin bag will be
uetdid, and care must be taken thai
feathers and bat together do not
wutu more than a pound. When the
bdg of lcatures is put into tue oth"r
puu of the balance, the beam will,
alter a few oscillations, some to reat
exactly level.
80 tar the verdict "Both alike'
seeuia to be proved. But place tbe
balance on the receiver ot an air
pump, with lead and feathers undis
turbed. Cover the whole with tbe
glass bell Jar, and exhaust the air.
Slowly the feathers sink, and the
lead kicks the beam. Tbe pound of
leathers Is heavier than tbe pound of
lead.
I'd truth is that what wo called a
pound was cot such in fact; for the
atmosphere buoys up everything with
lu it in proportion tu tLe bulk of tbe
object, and the feulhers being of a
greater bulk Iti.'u the leua are sup
ported by the air to a considerably
greater extent thau the tend. Remov
ed from tbe siipijo; tins medium, their
true weight id u acle evident.
Charles Iteudi pruiuiiniKd a similar
question 111 one oi his novels. A Jew
ish trader is Lindii 10 ut,k. 'Wliicj is
the heavier, a ioui.d of kittiiors or
a pound of fculd .'" Alter awhile be
explains to the ..lis,jtuou of his
audience of miners tiiai luo feathers
are tbe heavier.
Gold, he explains, ig weighed by
troy weight, while fearuers are
weighed by avoiiduiiois; i.itu as the
twelve ounces in a pound troy on
tain only five ttmsand epvoii hun
dred t.ndB sixty grains, while the avoir
dupois pound contains nearly seven
thousand gruins, the pound of feath
ers is, ot course, tweive iiiii.drcd and
forty grains heavier than tuo pound
cf gold.

Search Urp- n for f.lie' Famed Wild
' 8tnd of the Sierra Jlndrras.
A search for the famed wild stud
of striped hn-sos lu Mexico may be
a liatlent venture after something
new, but probably not more so than
the present venture at breeding a
new type of horses in Colorado un
der tbe auspices of the Department
of ARricultu.e, to be known ns the
"Ampricnn Hoise," not Utterly with
the American ling Btamped in his
forehead, but nil the same a purely
American horse. The venture after
the striped horse is related as fol
lows by the nes from Mexico, which
says that Prof. H. Cassar Ewart, a
noted educator nnd nnttnalist of
Edinburgh, lUutlun.l. has arrived
here on his ny to it remote and uu
exolored region of the S:rra Madrc-s,
In the extreme southwest part of the
slaie. lie Is aicompaniel by several
other f:t"nlisl3, nnd the object of
thei e:,;ii'dliion Is to Ir.vestisate the
olt heard ni-ort thnt there Is a larpe
drove ot wild horses of most peculiar
appearance in thst ran of Mexico.
These anlmnls are said to bo striped
sud bear a elore resemblnnee to the
rebra. They arc said to make their
home In a rich valley which is al
most completely Bhut In by the tow
ering cliffs of the mountains.
It Is the theory of Professor Ewart
that all horses were at one time
trlped and their present coloring
and absence of stripes are due to In
termixing the breed. He has been
studying the question for several
years and recently finished an ex
haustive revearch Into the prehis
toric iei:.niii8 of horfes on the isl
and of Pono Rico and Jamaica.
The account of the existence of a
lar.ee drove of striped horses in tbe
BierraMadi-PbS seems to be authentic.
Loon before wliito men had pene
trated tbe almost inaccessible region
Indians who lived in the mountains
told of having seen this drove of
horses. About fifty ears aso nu
American mining prospector named
Hampton Bradley, who formerly
lived hi Pana-l, where lie owned and
operated the Marco mine, made a
trip into the mountains. He was
gone for about three montiis, and
upon his return he told of having
viiitud the valley where he saw
this drove of horses. He said there
were several thousand of the ani
mals and that their feeding ground
embraced many thousand acres of
rich, level land, with a small stream
of water, running through It.

to know if you have such a thing as
