WHAT. THE. HORSES CARRY, ‘French, German and Austrian Anl, . 'mals Are Taxed More Than : English and Russian. ; . Cavalry are playing an unexpected: ly- large part in {he war, and the ‘weight carried by cavalry horses in the various armies :s of interest. The British cavalry is armed with the short . Lee-Enfield rifle, the magazine ‘of which holds ten rqunds; the sword, ‘which is carried by 01l ranks cxcept signalers; and the revolver, carried by warrant officers, staff sergeants, sergeants, trumpeters and drivers. Each trooper carries 100 rounds of ammunition in a bandolier over the deft shoulder. Lancer regiments carry the lance. Each cavalryman (like the infantryman) carries an emergency and the “iron” ration and a ration for his horse. Then there is the kit. Altogether the British troop-horse carfries about two hundred and eighty ‘pounds. it « The regular Russian cavalry are armed with sword, rifle and bayonet, and each man carries 40 rounds of ammunition. There are the two days’ oats and hay ration, a cloak, and an entrenching tool. The cavalryman’s kit, two days’ rations, spare horseshoes, horse blanket,. canvas bucket, and a mess-tin go to form the coms« blete equipment, and weigh altogether about one hundred and nineteen pounds. The Cossack pony carries about two hundred and thirty-eight pounds. The average weight carried by the Indian troop horse when ready for war is about two hundred and six-ty-six pounds. The Austrian troopers carry a weight between two hundred @nd eighty and two hundred and eighty-six pouids, and the average in the French and German armies is about the same.—Manchester Guardfan
FIND CAUSE OF SOURNESS Giant Elephant at New York Zoo ls an Actor and Naturally Tem- ' peramental. At last Doctor Hornaday and Raymond L. Ditmars of the Bronx zoo have found out just why Gunda, in addition to being the largest elephant in captivity, has steadily built up a reputation as the greatest section of elephant hide encasing the largest chunk of temperament in the known 'world. ; _ The answer is easy. Gunda’s tem: perament is due to the fact that Gunda has become an actor. Temperament Bimply oozed from every pore when ‘Gunda was called forth at long range to pose for the series of moving pic‘tures that are being taken of the zoa -animals for Curator Ditmars. . “Register sweetness and light, there’s a good Gunda,” called the mo« 'vie director as Gunda was led out and the camera began to click. : ~ Gunda, missing the cue, instantly iried to register murder, fire, and sudden death. Doctor Ditmars, who had 'been in the act of stepping up ta Gunda and offering the elephant a loaf of bread, changed his mind and went away from there. The last heard of one of the movie men was in the iform of a long yell retreating through Yonkers. - g > , - But Doctor Ditmars got his pictures of Gunda in the act of being temperamental finally, and they are now being shown by Doctor Ditmars these days at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences.—New York Sun.
: War Distances. War, besides being a great leveler, s also a great educator. Places we bad never even heard of previously fre now becoming as “familiar in our mouths as/household words.” The distances are apt to be somewhat con: fusing unless understood. It ought, powever,' to be quite easy to remember that a meter measures about one and one-twelfth yards, or .more exactly, 89.37 inches. A. decameter is 10 meters, a hectometer is 100 meters, and 2 kilometer is 1,000 meters, or a little more than three-fifths of a mile. The Russians express the length of their marches or the distance from place to Place in versts. A verst is rather more than a kilometer, the exact dis: tance being 0.66288 of”a mile, or be :tween threefifths ' and four-fifths of that distance. : An Americanized Embassy. The German "embassy in Carlton House terrace in London has changed {ts name to suit the exigencies of the time. It is now labeied legibly “Amen fcan Embassy” on front and chancel tery doors, and the Prussian blach agle has been removed., By the frony of fate and its lease, it has recently en repainted with the rest of the errace, and this the Prussian govern ent will have to pay for sooner o 1 {:rer. or lose the lease.~Pall Mall Ga gette. ¥ N

FINALLY LEARNED THE TRUTH Queen of Roumania Had to Go In- ~ cognito to Amrtalv% Real Worth e of Her Volce. ' - In her youth, Queen Elizabeth of Roumania spent much time on the ‘training of her voice, and, encouraged 'by flatterers, came to believe herself ‘to be a singer of unusual talent. At length, says Bibliothek der Unter‘haltung und des Wissens, she decided %0 have her voice tried by some great teacher. So she went one day, dressed very simply, and without the usual -yetinue of servants, to see Professon Dumanois of Bucharest, and urged him to give his frank opinion on the quality pf her voice, and her future prospects. #e tested her voice with great care, first with the simple scales, then with g song, and lastly with an operatic aria. : r : ° When the trial was over, the profesgor said: “I cannot say that you have & wonderful voice. You sing fairly well, and with not a Httle feeling. I ht undertake to train you to sing F‘iperetta; but to speak quite frank- ¥, you haven’t the looks for it.” i - Up to this time the teacher had not known that the rank of the aspirant was any higher than that of scores of pther young ladies, equally ambitious, who constantly came to him. But his urprise was great when the lady :anded him the visiting card of the gueen, and he found that he had before him no less a personage than royalty itself. The queen thanked him 1 heartily for the frank way in which ‘he had judged her musical ability, and j ~“went home with her ambition in that direction decidedly diminished.
‘MUCH SOUND; LITTLE EFFECT Protest of Champ Clark Reminfied Alabama Statesman of : Humorous Story. . The most dramatic day of the Sixtythird congress was when Champ Clark, the speaker 8f the house, took the floor for his famous speech explaining why e opposed President Wilson’s policy of repealing the Panama canal tolls ‘exemption law. Clark was on the losing side, and everybody knew that the vote would certainly uphold the presiident. : j - While the speaker was delivering his remarks in his vibrant, booming voice, Tom Heflin of Alabama walked through the Democratic cloakroom, Even there the thunder of Clark’s Voice-was audible. . Heflin stopped, laughed and said: . “That reminds me of an old colored man down in my state. He was workjng out in the middle of a field on a hot summer day. It was so hot that the heat seemed to be simmering visibly wherever you looked.: After a while the midday train rushed by about half a mile away, whistling for crossing and roaring and thundering as it went. ; - “The old man watched it go by, took hold of his hoe and stooped over his work once more. Then he said, kalking to himself: : | . “‘Boom!" Bing! '‘Bum! Hum! But I's gwine to ride you nex’ Sadday night!’ "—Popular Magazine.
Big Business Helps Missions. - It has often been said that business in foreign lands has owed much to (Christian missions in opening up new territory to trade. It now develops that missions will owe something to ibig business.: It has been the custom for the home offices of the foreign missionary socleties to pay their rep‘resentatives in the field by foreign ‘drafts. The war has made this method impossible, The treasurers of 'the various missionary boards at a :rjoint meeting voted to appeal to some ‘American mercantile house: doing '‘business in every part of the world. They decided to ask the Standard Oil icompa.ny to become the agent of the ‘mission boards for the transmission .of money to their stations in foreign ifields, and through its treasurer the iarrangement was speedily made. The ireadiness of the company in doing this iwithout compensation is indicative of ?the spirit of co-operation for the comjmon good which underlies omr great jcorporations.—Leslie’s Weekl;. : ; ‘Carrying the Polish Jewels. i If the archbishop of Cracow, in his {fiight from the threatened city, has freally taken all the sacerdotal treasiure ‘with him his .Joad must be a v,hegvy one.
