DOGS AS SCOUTS.
The Curious Experiments Being
Made in the French Army.

Inc curious Experiments DtAHS
Made in the French Army.
The London Standard few weeks
ago published curious account of the
experiments which are being made in
the French army for training dogs to
act as scouts, messengers and sentinels.
When dog is on messenger duty two
men are detached from an outpost and
walk about "A mile, their companion be-
ing led by his collar. One OF the men
then returns to the starting point, and
the dog, whenever he is let loose, runs
back to the outpost with the message in
a bag tied to his back.
The sentinel dogs are said to scent
strangers 100 yards off,, and directly
they do SO begin to bark and growi.
The training necessary for the scouts is
more elaborate. as they have to be
taught to search fields and thickets, in
which soldiers dressed in foreign uni
forms are lying in ambush. AS soon as
the animals find the enemy it is their
business to run back to their own
friends, and so report what they have
seen.

WIRE TAPPERs FoInED.
A Bold Attempt to Fleece Book
makers.

New YORK, July 12.-The tapping of
the wires which carry news of the re-
suits of the races from the tracks to the
Puritan club rooms, in Long Island
City, was discovered yesterday just in
time to save the bookmakers from pay
ing out $4,000 they supposed had been
lost on the horse Void. At the end of
the fourth race dispatch came in NAM
ing Void as the winner. King Crab see
ond, Fordham third. The bookmakerS
believed something was wrong because
the usual cipher signal did not follow
the announcement of the result as
quickly as it should have done. They
refused to pay the tickets on those
horses, and discovered later that the
wires had been tapped. A tall young
man was greatly surprised and inclined
to be indignant when the bOOkmakers
refused to redeem his tickets calling for
50, $40. When told that it had been dis
covered the wires were tapped, he &C
knowledged that he was connected with
a plot to get the better of the bookmak-
ers. Void had sold in the books at 40
to /, and had won the race. The book
makers would have been compelled to
pay out $4,000. They had a narrow
escape from paying out large part OF
that sum any way. Just where the
wires were tapped has not been learned.

ests of the working classes and OF the
commerce and shipping OF Germany.
The Hamburger Nachrichten tonight,
in an article inspired by Prince Bis
marck, disputes the necessity for an
immediate decision by the relchstag
or the landtag regarding the future
position of Heligoland, and says
that the island, until the present Brit
ish colony, will be handed as such to
Germany, and will thus fall within the
category of German colonies and be
placed under the imperial administra-
ton without the necessity of making 1t
a portion of the empire. The conSti-
tutional requirements, the paper says,
would be fulfilled if the British gov
ernor be replaced by German and the
affairs of the island be administered by
the colonial department. The article
aims to
Embarrass the Government
in it's project of making the island an
Outwork of the empire. 1t is assured
that the English parliament will assent
to the cession of the island. Chancellor
Won Caprivi has arranged with Lord
Salisbury to have the German flag
hoisted on the island in the presence of
a fleet commanded by the Duke of Edln-
burgh and squadron escOrting EN-
peror William. This ceremony will
take place some time in September.
Minister Won Boetticher has already
been instructed to go to Heligoland in
August to arrange for the installation
of the German administration, of which
Councillor Wermuth has been appointed
provisional chief. These arrange
ments, if carried into effect, will make

against Prince Bismarck has been
heightened since the report of an inter
view with him appeared in the Frank
fort Journal. Even his friends admit
he has been indiScreet IN his revelation
of knowledge obtained by him while in
office. His statements that the emper-
| or's labor programme. as originally
sketched, was much more eXtrayagant
than as issued, and that his majesty
supposed that the programme would
tell at the elections, have incensed
Chancellor Won Caprlvi and the other
! ministers, and it is considered certain
that the statements will lead to ener-
getic circumstances on the return OF
Emperor William. The refusal of the

blinds, they are forever in the way of adding
a bit of detail here and hood or a balcony
there, which would add greatly to the effect
of the whole. Rolling Venetian blinds should
be used; they slide up and down and are out
of the way, and will cover the whole or Il
part of the window, as required; but these

made. The whole matter is here in a
nutshell. 1t may be thought, at the first
view, that this is too expensive a system.
Its principal beauty lies, however, in
the fact that it costs less per
mile of road kept one year than
the pernicious system of annual or
semi-annual repairs, as can be shown
and proved. The above two rules
sweep off the mud and dust as fast as
they are formed, and fill up the ruts and
bad places with new materials as fast as
they appear-are all that is necessary to
be carried out in order that there be con-
tinually good road. Without continual
repairs there can be no such thing as a
constantly good road-a proposition that
cannot too often be repeated. By repair
ing a road annually, or twice year, it
matters not which, the result is, strictly
speaking, a good road at no time during
the whole year. The road is wretched
Just after repairs; it becomes passable
after awhile. and deteriorates from that
day forward until it is again made
wretched; and SO on ad infnitum, ac-
cording to the present only too common
ly followed system. By the other meth
cd is offered US a road as smooth as a
floor, year in and year out, and, let it
not be forgotten, at less expense"
The following, from w. I. c. Ward
well, of the Rhode Island board of agri-
culture, statGs the farmers view: There
can be but one view taken in regard to
the advantage of good country roads,
not only to the farmer but to the whole
state, in the increased value of property.
Why the farmers. paving their proper
ton of the taxes. deriving no benefit
from any fire service. having no police
protection. still submit to the miserable
country roads without a vigorous pro-
test, is beyond my comprehension"
