STRIP, THE ELECTRICIAN.

AN English Dog Whose Intelligence Is
Simply Marvellous.
Many people in Brighton, England,
are interested just now in watching the
clever work of ''Strip, the Electrician"
who, after laying down many miles
length of copper wire, for the purpose
of electric lighting, in London, has
lately come to Brighton with the same
object. Lest Mr.. Edison should not ait
once recognize the name of his ''collab-
oraArice,' says the London Graphic, we
g will explain at once that strip is a
clever little fox terrier, the property of
Messrs. Crompton, the electrical engi-
neers, and that she is under the special
protection of that company's night
watchman,
Strips method of working is as fol-
: lows: The workmen lay down in the de-
sired position n short length of the
stout iron pipe which is to shelter a cor
responding length of the copper wire,
along which the electric current will
ultimately pass. The iron pipe having
been fixed, Strip is called, has the end
of the copper wire fastened to her col
lar, and, at the worlxman's sign. goes in
at one end of the pipe-"and comes out
at the other end" says an intelligent
but too hasty reader. Not SO, however.
The other end of the iron pipe has a bar
across it, over which the copper wire
must be strained to keep it taut. Strip,
having entered the pipe with the wire
fastened to her collar, presents herself
at the other end to the workman await
ing her there. who thrusts his hand un-
der the bar, unfastens Strips collar,
and dra ws it and the wire out.
Strip, when she feels her collar gone,
turns round, retraces her steps, comes
out again at the same end she went in
at, and lies down on the worllmen's
coats until she iswanted again. During
the recent bitter cold weather Strip
sometimes longed to shirl1, and showed

what a nlIna Man Can Do.

An example of marvellous industry
and power to overcome adverse circum-
stances is given by Max Mayer, who
was born blind in Berlin twenty-eight
years ago. He received his first instruc-
tion from a teacher of the blind and
later attended the Sophien-Real gymna-
sium, a scientific college in Berlin. He
was always among the best students in
the college and passed a brilliant final
examination. He entered the Univer-
sity of Berlin few years ago to study
mathematics, mechanics and philosophy
He took the degree of Ph. D. few
weeks ago, preparing a dissertation
upon the differential calculus which ex-
cited the admiration of his professors.
