Culver Military Academy To Have New Black Horse Troop.

In speaking of the fire that last week destroyed the Black Horse troop of Culver Military academy, the Culver Citizen says: As soon as word of the disaster was sent to the Culver brothers in St. Louis, they acted with characteristic promptness to put in motion the machinery for replacement of both the horses and Arrangements were made immediately with the stock yards for the purchase of more black horses of an even greater number than were lost. On Monday both E. R. Culver and B. B. Culver were at the academy with the school architect, and the plans for the new stables were being pushed. Work will be started at once on these. It is hoped that the full number of horses will be on hand within three weeks. On Tuesday morning Captain Rossow and Dr. Gordon set out to buy horses for replacement. They will scour parts of Indiana, Ohio and Missouri in their search for black steeds that will meet the specifications for the troop.

Electrical apparatus to determine the range and tone of human voices has been invented by a German woman.
