DUTCH BELTED CATTLE.
Once Nearly Exterminated, They Are
Now Bred by the Nobility.
Dutch betted cattle originated in
Holland several hundred years ago.
At the time of the great Holland wars
they were nearly exterminated by the
invading armies, and the few that re
mained became the property of the no
bility. wtu have bred them pure ever
since, but do not willingly part with
them. They are known m Holland as
Veldlargers, which name means "wrap
ped around with a sheet."
In color they are black, with a band
of pure white entirely around the body..
They may also have white fore feet,
white hind feet and legs up to the
gambrels and a white switch. The
"belt" varies In width. On some it is
but a few Inches wide. On others it
reaches back on the hips and forward
on the shoulders. Usually it covers the
body from just in front of the hips
nearly to the shoulders.
They have the prominent eyes, thin
neck, silky hair, soft skin, elevated
flanks, broad hips. long, slim tails,
shapely, well placed udders, prominent
milk veins and so called milk form,
which make up the dairy type of cow.
They are very tame and docile, hardy
and vigorous. G. G. Gibbs in Ameri

Would Generate Heat Enough to
Turn Our Globe to Vapor.
The stopping of n projectile always
results in the generation of heat. The
velocity and weight of a projectile be
ing known, the amount of heat devel
oped by its stoppage can be calculated.
In the case of large bodies moving
rapidly the result of the calculation is
something astounding.
For example, the earth weighs 6.000.
000,000,000 tons and travels in its or
bit at the rate of over eighteen miles
a second. Should it strike a target
strong enough to stop its motion the
heat developed by the shock would be
sufficient not merely to fuse the earth,
but also to reduce a large portion of it
to vapor. It has been calculated that
the amount of heat generated by a col
lision so colossal would equal that ob
tained from the burning of fourteen
globes of coal each equal to the earth
in size.
And should the earth after its stop
page fall into the sun, as it certainly
would do, the amount of heat that
would be developed by its impact on
the sun would be equal to that gener
ated by the combustion of 5,000 earths
of solid carbon.
Father Cray from East Albany who
has been supplying the Catholic
church, has been transferred to Proc
tor. His genial appearance and good
fellowship will be missed by all who
knew him here.
The next number on the Masonic
lecture course is Montaville Flowers,
the "illustrative lecturer." He gives
life lectures with illustrative acting.
The date is Wednesday, Dec. 24.
Don't forget it.
It would be hard to find prettier deco
rations in stores than are found here in
Orleans. A variety of designs and
the large selection of gifts displayed
should allow anyone to make a choice
without going anywhere else.
A spirit of unrest seems to be in the
air Several unmanly "brawls" have
occurrtd on the streets and it almost
seems unsafe to walk peaceably along
the thoroughfares. No credit is
gained by such acts and a good deal of
discredit may result.
H. H. Person has been to all houses
and inspected stovepipes and chimneys
per order of the fire commissioners.
Several cases which were very hazard
ous to property were found and should
be repaired at once. It is for the
safety of property and lives that this
step is taken and should be looked at
in that light. It is hoped that there
will be no need for an inspection to
determine whether the dangers have
been eliminated.

Two Waterloos.
It is a very curious fact that a good
many people do not know that two
battles were fought at Waterloo. Both
of these were fought against the
French, the first under the command
of the Duke of Marlborough on Aug.
17, 1705, who on this date actually oc
cupied the same ground as the Duke of
Wellington did a little more than a
century later, June 17. 1815, the only
difference being that the former was
marching on Brussels and the latter
was marching from Brussels. In the
first battle the French were defending
Brussels. They marched out to meet
Marlborough, but owing to the slack
ness on the part of Schlangenburg. the
Dutch general, who was fighting with
him. it was not a success, Marlborough
only taking a few of the French troops
as prisoners. The following one, fought
against Napoleon by Wellington, proved
to be one of the greatest victories ever
recorded in the annals of England.
