EVANSVILLE, March 3. - Particulars of a

DOGS EARS.
Some Good Reasons Why They Should
Never BE Cropped.

Some Good Reasons Why They Should
Never Be Cropped.
Sir Edwin Landseer, one of the judges
1t the dog show in London, England.
endeavored to exclude all dogs that had
been mutilated by ear-cropping or 9th
erwise. The principal reason Tor Sir
Edwin's protest is that the cropping of
ears is most cruel and hurtful to the
dog. The cruelty complained of is not
in the operation that, after all, is
small matter. 1t consists in depriving
the animal of defense which nature
has given it against the entrance of
earth and sand into the ears. The en-
trance of these into the ears distresses
the dogs much, causing deafness, alb
scesses and cancer. All dogs, more OF
less, require to be protected from sand
and earth by overlapping ears; but es-
pee ally do terriers literally "earth
dogs''-the species which, of all others,
IS most prosecuted by cropp Nc. They
90 into burrow, their ears get full of
sand. and they suffer ever afterward.
Surely Sir Edwin Landscer is right in
saying that judges of dogs ought not to
sanction such gross treatment of
the an NAL, sand that the
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals should look to the
practice. The only excuse that can be
set up for this system is delusive one.
1t is said that fighting dogs fare better
with their ears cropped, and the exi-
gencies of fighting dogs have set the
fashion for all others. 1t is true that if
an ear be gone it can not be torn, but
then it is forgotten that even for fight
ing purposes the ear is often protec-
ton. All these fighting dogs have what
are termed ''points" " One has his way
of Selling the leg, another fixes upon
the throat, and yet another makes a
dash at the large gland behind the ear,
which, in the dog, is as sensitive as the
most sensitive gland in the human body.
Deprive the dog of his ear and the as
sailant san get good bite at it and lay
his adversary low. Leave the dog his
ear and the assailant's grasp of the
sensitive gland is impeded by the folds
of the ear and rendered much more
feeble. Thus, even to the fighting dog,
the long ear is positive defense

characteristics quite peculiar. Authori-
ties differ concerning the origin of the
breeds of ponies found here, and the
time of their general introduction.
From the varying characteristics of the
ponies used by the French and Indians,
there is reason to suppose them of very
different origin. The Indian ponies re-
sembled the mule in shape, being gener-
ally thin chested, with dropping head
and slouching gait. He was rarely used
except as beast of burden, the Indians
having no vehicles; and when plow-

WAR ELEPHANTS.
How They Are Utilized by the British In

How They Are Utilized by the British In
dian Army in Burmah.
Attached to the British Indian army,
which is now in Burmah trying to wipe
out the murderous bands of Dakoits
that arc ahrighting the country, is an
elephant battery. Seven-pound guns,
including their carriages, are fastened
to framework and hoisted upon the
backs of the elephants. In this way the
troops are able to transport their artil-
iery through long stretches of country
where there are no wagon roads, and
where they would not be able to take
their cannon if they did not have beast:
of burden strong enough to carry the
artillery on their backs. When the
troops meet the enemy the guns are
quickly unlo AIDED by means of a tripod
to which is attached a sw inging arm
and tackle.
The elephant takes 4 more humble
place in war nowadays than formerly.
He used to be one of the combatants,
but in these days of gunpowder and
bombshells he has been reduced to the
transportation department. Centuries
before the Christian era the rulers OF
Egypt maintained stations as far south
as Khartoum for the sole purpose cf col
lecting wild elephants to be trained for
war purposes. They were used not only
to carry archers and javeln hurlerS into
into the field, but were also trained to
rush upon the enemy and trample them
under foot. While opposing warriors
on their elephants fought at short range
theelephants themselves wOuldtig ght each
other. 1t is said that the notion that
the Asiatic elephant is superior TO his
African brother dates from the time
when, in battle between Ant'ochus
Ill, King of Syria, and Ptolemy Philo-
pator, in 217 B. c., the Asiatlc elephants
in the army of the Syrian monarch
killed every one of PtOlemy's African
animals. TIL idea of the superiority
of the Asiatic elephant is still held by
many, though it is probably groundless

Imitation Amber.

Imitation amber has largely taken
the place of real amber in the manufact-
ure of pipes. This is the last informa-
ton from the Konigsberg coast, where
amber has, time out of mind, been
sought by dragging at Schwartzort, and
by mining for the last twenty years at
Palmnicken. The company pays 2,00O,-
600 marks (9100, 0,000) to the German
Government for the right of mining for
amber. The mines produce about 5000
hundred-weights a year, and large
pieces fetch E6 per kilogramme as taken
from the mine The largest manufact-
ure of pipes with mouthpieces of amber
is at Vienna, and there the sham article
is very much used. In the mines at
Palmnicken about one thousand men
are constantly employed. N, \, Posi-.
