Master.

lie Looked After the Interests of His
Master.
An interesting incident of canine in
tellgcnce was contributed by gentle
man. of Milton, Nova Scotia. \ lum-
herman had dog named Watch who
knew as much, if not more, than some
people do. Watch knew the names of
an the tools used by his master. and
also where they were kept. lie would
bring any one of them or return il to
its place when told to do SO.
The great exploit Of Watch's life,
however, was in connection with his
dexterity in the water
Ills master lived close by the river.
about quarter of a mile below the
mills, and the slabs, edgings and other
driftwood coming down from the mills
were picked up for fuel
Watch was very fond of picking up
this wood: would swim out when he
saw piece coming, and drag it To the
shore. The tide from the sea rose and
fell as far up the river as his masters
house. and one of the strangest sights
was TO see how the dog secured the
heavy pieces he was unable to drag
clear of the river. lie knew that pieces
living against the shore at low tide
would float off when the tide came in.
so he watched the tide and as the
water helped, he drew them futher and
further up until the tide began to fall,
which of course left the wood high and
dry. and some of the family would pile
it up clear of the tide altogether. Any
thing he was able to handle he would
carry out clear himself.
4 man by the name of Gardner rent
cd a house just a bove Watch's masters
place. and Gardner. in order to catch
the driftwoOd. built n small wharf
ont into the river from which for a day
or two he secured all the wood. the dog
waiting anxiously below and getting
nothing.
This soon got too mcnotonous for
Watch, and the fourth day, when Gard
ner made his appearance as usual the
dog deliberately walked up above him,
to a stone wall lying ND and down the
river. and from there he sprang in and
drew of every piece of wood that came
down. so that Gardner could not reach
them. This so enraged Gardner that
he went up with his boat-hoolz to drive
Watch away. But the dog sprang at
him, and in the melee the man was
knocked into the water getting wet
ting and the worse of the conflict.
Gardner tried the experiment next day
of letting part OF the pieces 90 past, a
compromise that the dog accepted in
good part, and there was no more trou-

Not Due to the Wind. But Caused by
Changes In the Atmosphere.
You have all heard the humming
and singing of telegraph and telephone
wires as you pass the poles along the
streets. No doubt you have concluded
that il is caused by the action of the
wind on the wires and given it no
further thought. But il is not erue
that the singing is caused by the wind,
and if you are ut all observing you
will notice that often the humming
sound is TO be heard these cold winter
mornings when the smoke from
chimneys goes straight up until it is
lost in the clouds and when the frost on
the wires is as fuzzy and thick as roll
of chenille fringe. The wind has roth
ing to do with the sound, and according
TO an Austrian scientist, quoted by the
Detroit Free Press, the vibrations are
due TO the changes of atmospheric
temperature, and especially through
the action of the cold, as a lowering Of
temperature induces shortening of the
wires extending over the whole Of the
conductor. A considerable amount of
friction is produced on the supporting
bell, thus including sounds both in the
wires and the poles When this hum
ming has been going on birds have
mistaken the sound for insects inside
the poles, and have been seen to peck
with their bills on the outside as they
do upon apple and other trees.
