The Horse as a Fighter.
New York Hun: “The Hun had an in
teresting item on Thursday headed
“Hoofs No Match for Horns,” said a
rich ex-cowboy who was stopping at
one of the Broadway hotels. “It des
cribed a fight between a horse and a
cow. Now, I never saw either cows or
buffaloes attack a horseso as to amount
to anything, but J want to rise up and
testify to the wonderful fighting powers
of the horse. He is built for more ways
and kinds of fighting than any other
Imxluct of nature. He can strike with
iis fore legs. When lie is in action he
fights ull over. If you want to see fun
you should see a wolf pack attack a
bunch of horses on the plains. The
horses get together with their heads
forming the hub of a wheel, and their
bodies forming the spokes. Then they
fight the wolves with their hind legs.
They All the air with wolves, and
every wolf lands dead, wounded or ill.
Horses avoid a fight as a rule, hut will
?o out of their way to kill a snake.
'hey jump on the snakes, clubbing
their hoofs, and using them like a mal
let. Tlieonly fights they seek are with
unmounted men, whom they frequently
attack, or else with one another; and
in the latter case they resemble a buzz
saw in action, all parts going at once.”

To Warn Them With Kites.

office at Pierre, S. D., lias written the
bureau at Washington concerning a
method he proposes to adopt in warn
ing stockmen on the range of the ap
proach of heavy stormsduring tlie win
ter. His plan consists of sending up
large kites of different colors to a height
of 2,000 feet or more, which would
make them visible over a large scope
of the range country. The kites could
Ik* sent up at stated hours during the
day and at night colored lights could,
tlu* observer thinks, he attached.
Should tlie kites prove impractical col
ored balloons held captive by light
cables would, it is suggests!, doequally
well.—Pioneer Press.
Sonieihini' Worth Knowing
Philadelphia Record: Here’s some
thing that may stive your life when a
hull gets after you. When a bull
charges, just before the final lurch lie
shuts his eyes, and if you have the
presence of mind to stand stock still
until he is within two or three feet
from you, till you have to do is to step
aside, and he misses you. Any child
with sufficient presence of mind to do
this can let a hull charge till day with
perfect safety. Thisis not a new thing,
as it is one of the secrets of the bull
tighter in the country where the sport
is practiced. The bull fighters say
that a cow does not do this, and they
would never try any such tricks with a
mad cow. The writer knows that
what is said about the bull’s habit is
true.
Problem for Scientists.
Indianapolis, Oct. 31.—An interest
ing point for scientists to consider in
connection with the earthquake this
morning is the fact that a number of
the smaller Indiana streams having
their source in the southern border of
the gas belt have suddenly filled with
water. No rains liuve occurred in this
state for months to swell the streams,
and in tin* ease of Honey creek, in the
eastern part of Bartholomew county, it
had gone dry several weeks ago, tlie
water standing only in pools here and
there. This week it is filled to the
brim and in some places has overflowed
and washed away fences on the adjoin
ing farms. Sugar creek, which runs
near Edinburg, Johnson county, was
nearly dry, hut to-day it is reported to
be nearly filled. Smaller streams ris
ing in the Hancock county gas terri
tory, have shown similar phenomena.
No one can explain from whence the
water comes, and in the case of Honey
creek tin* record* show that previous to
the Charleston earthquake, Aug. 31,
1886, the stream acted as it has now.
The phenomenon was repeated previous
to tiie quake on Sept. 28, 1878, both of
these two quakes having been strongly
felt in Indiana.—Pioneer Press.
