THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, FEB. 22, 1912.
Slow On Plowed Ground.
He told me about another
Irishman whom h§ called Dennis
Doherty, a personal friend of his,
he said. Dennis was a small
farmer and had very little knowl
edge of railroads. In fact, he
had never seen one until the old
; Shreveport & Marshall line ran
l through his farm, down near the
line of Texas and Louisiana.
“ ‘lt was a pretty heavy grade,’
said Mike, ‘along the eighth of a
mile that ran through Dennis
Doherty’s farm, and when we
struck it as we came west one day
about noon old Dennis happened
to be walking down the track.
When he saw us start down the
grade, he broke into a run. The
old B. M. Johnson was almost
right upon him before the train
could be stopped, for, you know, j
there were no air brakes in those
days. When the train was
finally brought to a standstill
within a few feet of the almost
exhausted Irishman, the engin
eer asked him why he didn’t
leave the track instead of run
ning down it.
“ ‘You blarsted spalpeen’ ex
claimed the panting old farmer,
‘don’t you see the field on both
sides av ye dirthy ould track is
freshly plowed? If I couldn’t out
run you on the hard thrack, how
in the divil do yez think I could
get out av ye way in plowed
ground?’ he asked indignantly.

Whales Live 1,000 Years.
Undoubtedly the longest lived
animal on earth is the whale, its
span of existence being measured
by Cuvier at 1,000 years. The ]
next largest animal, the elephant, ;
will, under favorable conditions,
live four hundred years.
When Alexander the Great con
el uered Porus, King of India, he
took a great elephant that had
fought gallantly for the defeated
dng, named him Ajax, dedicated *
him to the sun, placed upon him |
a metal band with the in scrip-1
tion, “Alexander, the son of Ju- j[
piter, dedicated Ajax to the sun.”
The elephant was found alive 350
years later.
The average age of eats is 15
years; of squirrels, 7to 8 years;
of rabbits, 7; a bear rarely ex
ceeds 20 years; a wolf, 20; a fox, ;
14 to l(i. Lions are comparative
y long lived, instances having '
been recorded where they reach
the age of 70. *
Pigs have been known to live .
20 years and horses GO, but the
average age of the horse is 25 to 1
30. Camels sometimes live to i
the age of 100 and stags are very
ong lived, one having been taken *■
>Y Charles VI in the forest of
Senlis which bore about its neck
a collar on which was engraved,
"Caesar roc rnihi donavit.. ”
Whether or not this stag had
actually lived since the days of
one of the Caesars it is impossi
ble to say, but the evidence seems
good. ;,
Eagles occasionally and ravens |
frequently reach the age of 100 |
years, and swans have l>een
known to live three hundred
years. A tortoise has been known
to live 107 years.
Efforts have been made to con
nect the rapidity of the pulse
beat with longevity, but no logi
cal conclusion can lie reached, as ;
will be seen from the fact that
the pulse of a lion beats forty
times a minute; that of a tiger,
ninety-six times; of a horse, for
ty times; of a wolf, forty-five
times; of a fox, forty-three times;
of a bear, thirty-three times, and
of an eagle 160 times. It has
been impossible to count the
beats of an elephant’s pulse, hut
that of a butterfly beats sixty
times to the minute. —Our Dumb
Animals.
