In Mongolia, After Severe System of
' Training. Animals Cover'Fif-
teen Miles at a Stretch.
Horse races are a popular amuse-
ment in Mongolia. During the prelimi-
nary training of the entries. according
in a writer in the Geographic Maga-
zine, each competing pony is tied to a
rope plcketcd on the grass plain. This
rope is shortened every day by a cer-
tain number of inches. thus reducing
the circle in which the animal can
graze. Yet. strange at it may seem. this
method of gradual Stflnfltlon-ftesll'd
by centuries—appears to increase rath-
Qt than diminish its endurance.
On the day of the race fetlocks an

the contestants and assist in whipping

arrive at the finish literally leaning
against each other, shoulder to shoul-

the run. though both are so exhausted
that it they were suddenly separated
'they would drop in their tracks.
“'onderful tales are told of the dis-
tances covered by famous Mongol r11.
cars at a strctch. Fifty, even 100
miles at full gallop. are claimed. This
is doubtless exaggeration, but 15 and
20111119 races at great speed over a
straight course, are well authenticated.

When Ptter Cooper Made Shoes

(rem childhood. His first invention.
according to Thrift Magazine. was a
crude washing machine. or. in reality.
an arrangement for pounding soiled
linen on wash day. This he put to-
gether to help his hard-worked mother.
But proluihly one of his greatest
helps to his father. mother and eight
firothers and sisters “as the shoes he
llnade for them. In his autobiography
he tells how he made the shoes:
“I first obtained an old pair, and I
book them apart to see the structure.
and then after procuring leather,
thread and needles and some suitable
tools, without further instruction. I
made the last, and a pair of shoes
which compared very favorably with
the country shoes then in vogue."
Armor Always In Use.
Men have used armor of some kind
since the days of earliest record.
Even more striking is the resem-
blance of modern armor to the armor oi
arly desl gn. Except in withstanding
mevcre ballistic tests neither our mod-
em plate not our padded armor seems
an be much improved. The helmet
mid corselct of today are in many m-
qsects strikingly similar to those 0!
early times.
