Dogs I'm Warfare.

Experiments in training dogs to act,
in time of war, us scouts. messengers,
and sentinels. are being carried on
with success in most part of the in
fantry regiments garrisoned in France.
The manner in which they are edu-
Gated is curious. When dog is to act
as messenger two men are detached
from post and walk about a mile, the
animal being led by the collar. One
man remains stationary, while the
other returns to his starting point.
On being set loose the dog immedi-
ately sets in pursuit Of the latter and
finds its way to the post with unerring
regularity. To insure the delivery OF
dispatches, small bag of dark ma
terial is strapped on the animals back.
AS a sentinel, the dog will scent a
stranger at distance of one hundred
yards, and will commence growing,
barking or evincing disquietude in
some other manner.
In order to accustOm them to scouts
duty the dogs are encouraged to search
field or thicket in which soldiers,
wearing foreign uniforms, lie in am
bush. As soon as the animals perceive
soldiers who accompany them, and
thus announcing the presence of an
enemy. Their instinct seldom mis-
leads them, and they have been found
very useful rs a means of communi-
eating with patrols and detachments
on outpost duty. In time of war they
are also intended to search for wound
ed soldiers and loiterers. as we'll as to
carry provisions and ammunition to
Outposts.
An interesting sight, says CORES
pondent, is afforded by the spectacle
of these four-footed soldiers at drill
under the command of lieutenant
and surrounded by an admiring GROUP
of vagraut ours who do not enjoy the
distinction of being enrolled under the
French flag. and who contemplate
their four-footed brethren with evident
envy.

Are of the Herosoe of Fiction.

The age of the heroine of the novel is
slipping along the scale at marvellous
rate She used to be the "sweet seven
teen in the days of Lydia Languish
She is ten years older now, and the
novel of the next decade may find her
most available at forty. 1'For it is
largely question of availability after
ALL said successful novelist. "The
modern subjective and analytic novel
has necessitated the change. The mind
of the very young woman is lacking in
the depth, in the discipline and com
plexity which must go to make up the
available subject of the modern diAsec-
ton methods. She is charming, but she
won't 'go as a modern heroine. This
must be a woman who has thought, who
has achieved something, who has had
experience in life, who stands for some
thing. and whose personality offers op.
portunity for study and critical analy.

The Pointer and tho Rat.

Horace P. Tbbetts, of Wyalusing
owns large pointer dog with remark
ably big mouth. One day this spring
Mr.. Tibbitts spied an enormous gray
rat burrowing in the side Of sanG-bank
near his barn and he told the pointer TO
90 and snake it out. The dog stole
quietly toward the bank and when it
got within two feet of the hole it
stopped and pointed the rat as it would
a bird. All at once the gray rat turned
in the hole, sprang out and set it's teeth
In the astonished dogs nostrils. For a
minute or SO the pointer shook his head
as hard as he could, whining little at
the time, but it was impossible for him
to get the pugnacious rat between his
teeth. He finally shook it loose, flung
it six or eight feet in the air and got
under it with his big mouth wide open.
The rat landed between the pointers
Jaws and the angry dog crushed its bones
ia an instant. It's teeth had torn slit
in the dogs left nostril. IN. 7. Sun.

THE MOCK IMPROMPTU.

The BE Way to Extemporize Is to Pre-
pare Carefully Beforehand.
Of all impromptu speeches the one
that is prepared beforehand is likely to
be the best There are good reasons for
this. An alligator, tired of basking in
the sun, will slide off into the bayou
with considerable ease and some ele-
gance if allowed to perform the ma
newer in his own time. If the alligator
is hurried, however. by unfriendly man,
the descent into the water becomes a
panicky scramble ending in a splash.
Orators are like alligators in this. They
can not tumble with grace into clog uence
unless they have time to consider the
operation. The best impromptu speak
ers in all ages have made it a rule never
to speak without preparation. From
Demosthenes down to Chauncey Depew
the private motto of the extemporaneous
speaker has been "Semper paratus,"
which, freely translated, means with
speech on hand" Perhaps Demosthenes
went to extreme in anticipation. He
grudged no labor to make the least part
of his orations perfect, and it is improb-
able that he always tried to make his
Athenian audiences believe that his
speeches were ertempore. Those who have
succeeded him in the rostrum have not
always been so candid. Parliamentary
debate often demands the appearance of
spontaneous utterance, and it has
greater weight than speech which is
evidently the result Of antecedent study.
The charms of the impromptu are not
confined to the political grafton or the
after dinner speech. The divine in the
pulpit who can simulate, if not actually
practice, extemporaneous preaching has
the advantage of him who reads from
manuscript, Or refers occasionally to
notes On the stage nothing is SO
likely to make hit as action or word
that appears to be born of the occasion.
Actors are we'll aware of this and not
seldom prepare impromptus, usually in
the shape of topical illusions. Mr.. JEFF
ferson, although above the use of mere
local gags" is one of the great actors
who knows how to simulate spontaneity
in expression of voice and face, SO that
the audience is brought to believe that
= piece of carefully conceived and prac-
ticed by-play is the result Of the mo-
ment's suggestion. In short, there is no
limit to the value Of extemporizing,
whether it be practiced in Congress, in
church, at the dinner-table or on the
stage. And the best way to extempo-
rize is, as we have said, to prepare care
fully beforehand OF course there is
such thing as the genuine impromptu
but it is very rare thing indeed, and
as compared with the mock article, it's
success is rarer stall.-Pittsburgh Dis

is THE SUN PEOPLED?
A New Theory of the Universe Founded
on the Law of sActien.'

A New Theory of the Universe Founded
on the Law of 'Actien."
A recent mum Der of the Arena con-
tains an interesting article by Stephen
M. Allen, A. M, pom the newly dis
covered law of "Actfen,'' which, if the
theories concerning it are correct, will
deal severe blow to the preconceived
ideas concerning the formation of worlds.
The writer explains that actien is
supposed to be surplus energy or fluid
thrown off from central suns toward
their planets, having direct and posi-
tive agency in the original creation of
the universe. The new law supposes
that our sun, through it's axial revolG-
ton, is constantly throwing off actienic
force, which is primarily neither heated
nor luminous, but which passes through
etheric space into the atmosphere of
the earth, where, through combustion,
light, heat, electricity and magnetism,
are produced. In corroborati ton of the
theory, it is asserted that, if the sun
were the fncandescent mass it has been
held to be, the heat radiated from it
would, in passing through the 5000, 900
degrees of cold which are known to
exist in the space separating our sun
from the earth, cease long before it
reached our atmosphere. That darkness
also reigns in the regions of the sun is
likewise incon testible. At seven miles,
the highest point reached by man, the
sky is found to be dark and som Der, and
the rays of the sun are SO dim that it re-
sem bles copper-colored moon.

light and heat of our solar orb. This is
supplied to it in the form of actienic
force from the parent sun. Lastly, the
conclusions reached are that the sun is
not an intensely heated body that it
possesses an atmosphere and that it is
provided with moderate amount of
light and heat. For these reasons there
is no longer any reason, says the writer.
for believing it uninhabitable. The &C
tienic process of world forma zion is thus
described: "The surplus force thrown off
from the sun at once aggressively enters
etheric space with positiveness that
overcomes all resistance. A conflict en-
sues between action, the positive, Ind
ether, the negative principle, resulting
in the birth and construction of automic
and molecular substances, both ponder
able and imponderable, which fly off into
space, but which are used in the con-
struction of globe"
These substances are finally aggre-
gated and held by attraction. They are
formed into a nucleus, which, still un-
der the influence of original actienic and
etheric decompositions, in time forms a
globe. From this point, the theory CO.
incides with the principles generally re-
ceived concerning cosmic forces and in
fuences, and the wor of formation is
supposed to be continued according to
the principles already known.
