W. horse that doctored itself near Sydney has been pronounced well by a veterinary surgeon. Its leg was broken in three places and the veterinary put it in splints, but he could find no way in which the injured limb could be rested. For three weeks the horse leaned against a fence in the field, sleeping and eating in the same position. When the leg was better the horse walked away. now exists but the star as it was five hundred, a thousand, or several million years ago!

Tavotite Keclpe lVeel'' the off single, He Hit Him the earth than any heavenly body except the moon, is only 26,000,000 miles away at the closest, and light' then reflected from it reaches the earth in 2 minutes. Neptune, farthest of the major planets, is 2 billion miles away at. its closest approach, and light then reflected from it reaches the earth in about four hours. These and the other members of our own solar system are the earths only neighbors. When we consider heavenly bodies outside the suns fixed stars family the we run into stupendous depths of empty space before finding the nearest star. In measuring such distances as this miles become meaningless. Instead, there is brought into use as a measuring unit the vast light year. This is the distance that light, rushing through space at 186,000 miles a second, travels in one year, or more than 31 million seconds. In miles, a light year is more than 5,865 times one billion a figure far too cumbersome to use, especially when it is multiplied many times as it must be in measuring the distances to the more remote stars. Astronomers have, therefore, saved both time and mental wear and tear by' inventing the light year. Incredible Distances. The nearest star to the earth is Proxima Centauri, visible from the southern hemisphere, which is 4.27 light years away. Numerous stars have been observed which are as much as 500 light years distant. Far beyond these are the great nebulae, vast groups of stars or island universes. The nearest of them are estimated to be 850, 000 light years away; and the farthest, faintly visible in the worlds largest telescope, are estimated to be the almost unthinkable and incredible distance of 500 million light years away from the earth. It is when we deal with distant fixed stars and nebulae, very far outside our solar system, that we rim into the fascinating and romantic fact that the star which we see at any moment is not the star as it - 3 cups (l',i lbs.) juice 4 cups (1 lbs.) sugar 1 box powdered fruit pectin ripe berries, (not black caps).

The trend of evolution appears to indicate the development of a tuskless elephant in India, declared C. C. Morris in a paper read to the Bombay Natural History society. Already such a condition had been established in Ceylon. A similar tendency among Indian elephants was revealed in the number of males which failed to develop tusks.
