yankee Tricks in England.

The distrust of things American which
obtained in England until not so very
long ago was we'll illustrated in re-
cent speech of E. H. johnson. He was
describing an exhibition of the Edison
electric light, which was about to take
place at the Crystal Palace, England,
and for which he had made great prep
arations. "a large party of prominent
people were invited and had begun to
arrive. l was going to turn on 1000
lamps and astonish the Britishers.
Finally every thing was ready and the
switch was turned, but no light.
hurried down to the engine-room to see
what the trouble was, and found that n
plug had blown out of the boiler. which
of course, stopped every thing. Thew
don't do things in as great a hurry as
we do over here, and the English en-.
gineer said repairs could not be made
before next morning. But insisted on
repairs at once, and the result was that
in short time my efforts were success
full, and the lights gave forth their
brilliancy. But" concluded Mr. John.
son. there wasn't man in all England
that didn't believe it wac Yankee
trick."-N. y. Tribune

A PROMISING SPANIEL.
Leo Catches Thief, Opens Door and
Sings Energetical1y.

Leo Catches a Thief, Opens Door and
Sings Energetical1y.
An ambitious and energetic young
spaniel is Leo, the pet of the police at
the Prince Street station. He is about
two years old and recognizes Sergeant
Mcnamara as his master, although he
yields a friendly obedience to all the
other officers attached to. the station.
This is the dog who captured booty
laden thief on Wooster street few
evenings ago and held on to him until
petrolman, who couldn't run as fast as
Leo, came up and took the prisoner in.
Leo couldn't put on the handouts, and
the man got the ormal credit of the
arrest.
Leo is not a patrol dog, and this is his
first exploit as neophyte on the force.
His education is being looked after by
Frank Moratti, an employe at the sta
tion-house, and after a time the dog
may be promoted to regular situation
on the staff.
Leo has two specialties now besides
the catching of thieves He opens the
door of the station by himself when he
is outside and wants to come in. lie
does it by starting on a dead run from
across the street and leaping violently
against the door. 1t opens inward, being
held in place by a strong spring. 1t
yields readily to Leo's spring, and the
dog lands in sprawling heap on the
floor Leo hasn't yet got it out of his
head that he can open the door by the
same process when he wants to go out.
Consequently he now and then starts
from the farther side of the main Office,
runs full tilt against the door, bumps
his shoulders, and falls back upon the
floor discounted.
His best accomplishment, however, is
his singing. In training the dogs voice.
Prof. Moratti has brought to bear all
his native knowledge of the Italian
method. The results are plainly seen in
Leo's style. There is none of your
phlegmatic German defamation in his
work. but an earnest, inspiring and
melodic howl, varied here and there by
short staccato yelps on very high notes.
Leo realizes the merit Of his perform
anee SO keenly that of late he has posi-
Gively refused 70 sing unless there IS an
audience present. Then he springs into
a chair and siss down, and Prof Moratti
sits in another chair beside him When
the reporter was present the professor
played Fritz Emnaet's Cuckoo" song
on harmoaica, and Leo put in canine
obligato. He put his head straight up
in the air and howled. All the frisk-
ness of his private life departed; his
tail did not wag nor his body vibrate
with tho JOY of young life. His only
motion was az expressive swaying of
the nose and an occasional closing of
the eyes as he reached for some es-
pecially effective note. An unresponsiva
spectator would have said that Leo was
unhappy, but Moratti declares that on
such occasions the dogs attitude simply
indicates intense emotional earnest
ness At any rate it is pretty good sing
ing for dog.-N. Y. Sun.

NEWS FROM MERCURY.
An Astonishing Discovery Made by ItaTy's
Most Famous Astronomer.

An Astonishing Discovery Made by ItaTy's
Most Famous Astronomer.
The smallest and swiftest of the
planets has become an object of intense
interest. Schiaparelli, the eagle-eyed
astronomer of Milan, the discoverer of
the double canals on Mars, has turned
his eager gaze on Mercury, and made
an astonishing discovery. He announces
that the suns nearest neighbor turns
once on his axis while revolving round
the sun, just as the moon turns once on
her axis, while revolving round the
earth.
As it takes Mercury lightweight days
to make his circuit round the sun, it re-
quires the same time for his rotation on
his axis 1t follows that he turns always
the same face toward the sun, as the
moon turns always the same face TO the
earth, completing her rotation in about
twenty-seven days.
Schiaparelli not only makes this an
nouncement but confirms it by what to
him seems abundant proof. He has
been observing the planet for seven
years-since 1SS2-making his observa-
tions by daylight, and has obtained one
hundred and fifty drawings of the
planet. The markings or linear spots
on the planets disc are permanent; they
have not changed during the seven
years.
The markings are so faint and delicate
that they are perceptible only TO an OBJ
server endowed with exceptional visual
power intensified by long practice, and
assisted by fine telescope. These con-
ditions unite in Schiaparelli, and. what
is equally essential, the sky over Milan
is clear, and the atmosphere compare
lively steady and free from vapor, while
the astronomers enthusiasm for his
favorite science knows no bounds,
