ZEBR.lt? IN HARNESS.
Exrxjrlments in Domesticating the
Queor Little .Ajalmals.
They Are Thoiisht to He Better Xhsa
Mules for Certain 1'arpoges In Af
rica, Corrsetloa of a Alls
taken Nstlos.
Tho prevalent notion about the zebra
is that it is so untamable as to be of no
practical use to man. Experiments
show that this is an erroneous notion.
In a number of instances it has been
reduced to docility in Europe, but no
attempt has been maths to impress it
into tho serviceable Obnclafo with
which -o aro familiar in the horse.
That complete traotabillty for the pur
pose of labor is not impossible, and in,
indeed, hopeful, is being- shown in the
Transvaal, where a firm eng-afjed in
tho coaching-business between Pretoria
and Fort Tull, In Mashonaland, have
actually eight zebras in harness and
four of them reg-ularly employed in
drawing1 a coach. These animals were
capturnod by the lasso, and in a few
months four had been so trained that
they were perfectly quiet and willing
in harness, while the others are becoming-
habituated to restraint and will in
time bo fully under control. II.
Stephens, who g-ives an account of the
experiment in the Field, says Messrs.
Seedesberg- aro thus far satisfied and
will endeavor to substitute zebras for
mules in drag-g-ing- their coaches.
These very graceful striped quadrupeds
are no doubt fleeter of foot than tho
mule and perhaps as swift as the liorso,
but there Is an important superiority
over both that tliey possess. They en
joy absolute Immunity from that very
fatal ailment of South Africa vag-uely
called horse sickness, which In a single
night in low co-untry kills a horse or
mule turned out on the veldt. The loss
from this cause is a heavy item In tho
expenses of a South African livery
stable. It is found thut the zebra
does not kick anil is g-ently amenable
to tho-reln by having- a soft mouth. A
tendency to bito la tlio ono vice they
have, but this tliey cease to practice
when not afraid of being hurt.
It is tho intention of tho firm to at
tempt cross-broetliny with horses. Tho
result will bo awaited with consider
able Interest. A now hybrid of hope
ful stamina and xuli.nUes for harness
or tho saddle may confidently be ex
pested, and porliaps tho somber un
eouthness of fliu cioss between the
horse and ass will be overcomu and re
placed by frraees of form amj charins
of coloi-. It seems K-trunyo that l
should bo left until to-duy to essay the
domestication of tho zebra. T?le horse
and ass havo bo long- been pressed Into
Bervico that tho original habitat of
both is disputed. Tliey cither come
from Asia or Africa, Uut tho fossil
horso is also found rta Amerieo, and
soino of tho tyj-fes g-o so far back in
geological timo as to suggest that tho
horse had its origin on tho American
continent. Uut when Columbus land
ed tho horse was unknown and all the
troops of wild coursers have descended
from domesticated breeds which have
escaped from control. South Africa
produces not only tho zebra, but the
quagga and tho dauw, congeners
which might also prove of uso in crossing-.
Both have been domesticated,
but tho cxperimoiit has not been car
ried to practical utility. The oppor
tunity to introdu.ee tho quagga as a
hybrid or pure lred hus almost been
lost, as tho animal is either extinct or
very scarce. Tho dauw is adapted to
life on tho plains and still roams in
great herds nortti of tho Orange river.
A "aTAMP ROOivl.
Tlio Novel Wall Covrrlu of a I.oiiilou
Apcirtitient.
In u certain old -fashioned house In
London there Is a room about twelve
feet square, tlio walls of which are
completely papered with postage
stamps. It is estimated by Mr. l'ul
mer, who is tho larg-est stump dealer
in the world, thut these stamps would
bo worth live million dollars but for
tho unfortunate circumstance thut they
are not genuine
Mr. l'almer cxtrncteil these forg-erios
from collections which he has bought
from timo to timo. As a rule he says
tho people from whom ho bought them
did not know they were forgeries. Xo
forged stump, however, is likely to
pass as genuine when it fulls under his
scrutiny.
This crazy patchwork shows a speci
men of every known stamp in tho
world. The l'all Mall Budget says
thero nro seventy thousand stamps on
the walls otf the room, and thut it Uok
almost thirty years to collect them.
"To make wall paper out of them
kept four pairs of hands busy for three
months. They arc pasted upon canvus,
so that it will not bo necessary to re
move tho building- in order to remove
the stamps. Vnste, not gum, wo used,
because gum discolors stamps. Hav
ing been fastcnen to the canvas, the
stamps were treated to a coat of shel
lac und then varnished."
Vhilo there cannot bo much artistic
beauty in a room papered in this way,
it suggests an idea for those discour
aged stamp collectors who started
with tho intention of securing a mil
lion, but havo at last abandoned tlio
idea after patiently "soaking off" and
tying up several thousuuds of tho small
bits of paper, gathered by their own
industry-ami through the contributions
of pitying friends.
DEALING IN FUTURES.
Tba Fwi Das Something to Do with tbs
rssrr of Good fortune.
The gypsy element of tho population
that camps on tlo outskirts of summer
settlements for tlio ostensible purpose
of disposing- of rswoet-graas baskets
deals also, says tlie New York World, in
futures of various shades of gold, ac
cording to the amount of silver which
crosses tho Ijahn. There was a weird
looking old creature selling her two
sorts of wares to a piazza full of young
women the other morning, who re
vealed Borne of the secrets of the pro
fession. She had taken a fifty-cent fee
for tho readntig- of one fair pulm. Sud
denly she interrupted herself to re
mark t
"Thero, there! A wonderful fortune!
Give me seventy-five cents more and
I'll read you the most wonderful thing."
"No," Sttid tlxe g-irl, laughing-; "no
more Give me my fifty cents worth
of wonder and that'll do."
Entreaties on the g-ypsy's part were
In vain. Tire strbng--mimlod young
woman would pay no more than fifty
cents for any destiny whatever. So
the prophetess read on. when she had
finished she remarked, with a sigh:
"And to think that f er a little more
I could have given you a light-complected
young man as well as a dark,
and a wedding- la five months instead
(t ayearl" .
I JUST THE POOR MAN'S LUCK.
rmially ths Person Who Csn't Afford It
Needs Artificial Limbs.
"There are perhaps eight hundred
thousand men in this oountry who need
artillciul legs or arms, and not more
than one hundred thousand of these
aro suppliod." It was s well known
maker of wooden legs who said this to
a New York Sun man. He was ward
ing off an appeal to his charity in
behalf of a locomotive fireman who had
.slipped under his engine and been
badly crippled. "The fact is," he con
tinued, "it is always the poor man who
loses a leg or an arm, now that the war"
Is over. Excepting tho cripplod veter
ans who are kept supplied with legs by
the government, nearly every man who
loses a limb has to have help to get a
new one."
But while the number of pensioners
on account of the war continues to in
crease with each increase in years since
that time of carnage, thero Is little
likelihood that tho number of makers
of artificial legs will fall off much in
number. There arot nearly two hun
dred of them now, large and small,
many of whom, having worked In one
of the larger factories, set up for them
selves and whlttlo out "timber toes"
for unfortunates who cannot afford to
buy one of tlio improved legs.
The science of making wooden letrs
and arms has in roccnt years almost
supplied the place of tho natural mem
bers that have been lost. There Is al
most no occupation now that Is closed
to a man on account of his crippled
condition, and by the use ofa rubber
heel and toe it is mado possible for a
man to walk almost without percepti
ble impediment or limp in his gait In
fact, a man with both legs gone can
now preserve his equilibrium and
walk about almost as well as any
other man.

With artificial arms and hands a
man may hold a fork, drive a horse,
extend tho arm a will and even write
a fair hand. There is a case of a man
who lost both hands and one foot,
who now walks perfectly well and is
able with his artificial hands' to grasp
llgM articles, open doors and feed
himself.
A man with two artificial legs rMes
horseback and can mount and dis
mount ioadlly, and another man has
even vulkea a mile in sixteen
minutes and fifty seconds, to beat the

according to the tables of percentage

G R EATEST M ENACE TO FORESTS.
Making of Faper from Wood Causes
Wholesale JUeatruouon of Trees.
The extensivo use of wood in mak
ing the cheapest grades of paper oilers
ono of the Serious obstacles to forest
preservation, says tho Philadelphia
Telegraph. In the last two or three
years the growth of the wood-pulp in
dustry has been enormous, a dozen
groat mills, caoh manufacturing from
fifty to three hundred tons of pulp a
day, havo been built on the Hudson
river, to fjod principally on the
Adirondack forests. The wood chlofly
used is spruce, and tho especially dis
astrous effect, of the industry on the
forests results not only from the ex
treme demand for the lumber, but
from tho fact that while the demand
is especially for trees of thirty to
thirty-five years growth, the young
trees are also cut. In 1881 the capacity
of tho pulp mills of the United States
was about seventy-two thousand tons
per annum. Tho present capacity is
seven hundred thousand tons.
And in this remarkable growth the
Industry has been accompanied by
these three desirable things: Increase
in quantity, decrease in price, arid no
diminution In tho compensation of
labor. The sound of tho ax, the bark
er and the grinder is heard In twenty
two states. The neighborhood of Ni
agara and thoaAdirondaoks in New
York, the territories of the Ksnnebeo,
Androscoggin and Penobsoot rivers in
Maine, the Fox river valley of Wiscon
sin, tho hills of New Hampshire and
Vermont and the natural gas belt of
Indiana aro tho greatest pulp-producing
regions of the United States.
About thirty-five hundred cords o
wood are required dally to supply the
demand of the mills.
A Kew Explosive.
Chemists and others interested in the
discovery and use of new explosives aro
now busy studying the component
parts and character of an acid reoently
discovered by a chemist, and to which
ho has given the name of hydrasolo
acid. This, it is claimed, Is destined
to make a now era in the history of
explosives. The new acid has boon
christened hydrozolo acid from Its com
position, which is three parts of nitro
gen and one part of hydrogen. It
seems strange that in all the years
that Chemistry has been stud led this
acid has escaped discovery till now.
It is described as resembling water,
fumrnp obongiy in contact with the
ahVand caatrtfjg painful wounds when
omilled to the fekin. Tbo acid Aoea not
$eem to be ftself explosive, bnt ths
salts it forms with most of the metals
are described as betrf extrepfely sa
lt was discovered accidentally, it
Bocms, during the course of an obscure
organic investigation, and the strange
ness of its properties ktd to an Investi
gation, and the dtsoovery of the exact
nature ol its characteristics, rewsnect
incns exist In tills sountry, and the
acid has not been studied to any great
extent.
