A CANINE DETECTIVE.
California Has a Hound with a Good Nose
for Trainrobbers.

California Has a Hound with Good Nose
for Trainrobbers.
Tiger is the name of remarka BILE
bloodhound that is owned in this city,
says the San Francisco Call. Tiger
has wonderful agility and scenting
powers, although he is but a little over
year old. Tiger played an important
part in the chase after Evans and Son
tag, and was employed by the south
ern Pacific detectives to trail the rob-
bers in the mountains of Tulare county.
Detective viii Smith secured several
large ferocious bloodhounds to scent
out the robbers lair, and among those
was Tiger, who so far "outscented'
looked upon as somewhat of phenom.
enon in his peculiar line of business.
On one occasion, when Burns or one
of the railroad company's men was in
the ne;ghborhood of the stone corral,
Tiger was in advance, yelping like a
whipped cur and flying along at a
great rate, with his nose close to the
ground. He had never manifested such
an excited disposition before. The de-
tective followed the dog for fully thirty
minutes, keeping his horse at gallop
all the while. Suddenly the hound ran
up to haystack and lay closely along
side of it, his nose pointed straight to-
ward a COLUMN of bushes.
Crack: VIII; < bullet sped from
the spot indicated by Tigers proboscis
and whistled close to the officers ear.
The LITTER raised his pistol and fired in
the direction of the shot, but as Tiger
was in the line of aim he received the
bullet intended for Che robber. 1t was
a painful but not a serious wound.
The dog never whined nor whimpered,
but laid his head on the ground and
calmly waited until his master ordered
him to rise. This wound was only
flesh wound and soon healed.
Tiger was then taken TO Fresno and
tenderIy cared for. The detectivcsand
m9-:Aais used to say: Hes one of US.
Well have to take good Gre Of him"
The railroad Company offered big
price for Tiger, but his owner is about
to go east and he says he would not
part with the dog detective at any
price.

French superstitions About Bread.

T There is a usage general in France
that bread before being cut must be
marked with the sign of the cross. The
neglect of so marking the bread is sup
posed to involve misfortune. In Lille
to step on bread is a blameworthy act.
1t is a common superstition that the
falling of piece of bread on the but
tered side is fatal to luck.

Beginning Of the Seasons.

The civil or tropical year, tho one COM
monty used in the measure of time, Is the
period which elapses from the suns APP
pearance on one of the tropical circles to
its return to the same. 1t varies very
slightly and has mean length of 800
days, hours, 4S minutes and 49.7 sec
onds. Automatically considered, the four
seasons begin at the equinoctial or the
solstitial points. The summer solstice is
the meridian passing through the point
where the sun touches the tropic OF Can
Ger. The winter solstice is the meridian
passing through the point where it touch
es the tropic of Capricorn, and the equinoc-
tial points are the points at which the
suns path OF. equinoctial crosses the celes;
tial equator. All these points shift ac-
cording to very exact astronomical laws
from year to year, and so precise til4 5
when the seasons begin are matters of the
incest mathematical calculation.

cold ThAT BURNS.
Its Effects Are Not Very Different Esom
scorehing by Heat.


Burning Is usually associated with heat,
md il seems misnomer 10 speak of cold
burns. Chemists tell us that there is really
no such thing as cold, which is relative
heat. and that the lowest temperature yet
registered Is some degrees above absolute
cold.
Alta meeting of the Swiss Society Of
Natural Sciences at Lausanne NJ. Raoul
Pictct gave some particulars concerning
cold burns experienced by himself and as
sis;ants during his Investigations Of the
lowest temperature attainabie. There are
two degrees Of burns. In one case the skin
reddens AZ FIRST and turns blue the follow
ing day, and subsequently the area of the
spot expands until il becomes nearly dou-
bic its original dimensions. The burn,
which IS usually not healed until five or
sjr weeks after its occurrence, is accom-
panied by very painful itching on the
affected spot and the surrounding tissues.
when the burning IS more serious, pro-
duced by longer contact with the cold
body, "a burn CT the second degree is ex-
pcr!cnced In this case tho skin is rapidly
detached, and all parts reached by the cold
behave like foreign bodies. \ long and
stubborn suppura;ion sets in, which does
not seem 10 accelerate the reconstruction
OF the tissues. The wounds are malignant
and scar very slowly in manner entirely
different from burns produced by fire.
On one occasion, when NJ. Pictet was
suffering from severe burn due to drop
of liquid air. he accidentally scorched the
same hand very seriously. The scorched
portion was healed in 10 or II days, but
the wound produced by the cold burn was
open for upward of six months. In order
to try the effect of radiation in dry cold
air NJ Pictet held his bare arm up TO the
elbow in a rcfrieerating vessel maintained
at 105 degrees, when a sensation of pc
culiarly distinct character was felt over
the whole skin and throughout the mus
clcs At FIRST this sensation was not dis
agreeable, but gradually it became decid-
edly so, and after three or four minutes
the skin turned blue, and the pain became
moro intense and deep seated. On with
drawing the arm from the refrigerator at
the end of ten minutes "a strong reaction
was experienced, accompanied by super
fetal Inflammation of tho skin.-Newcas

Tesla. the Electrician.

Nicola Tesla has eyes set very far back
in his head. They are rather light. As
reported by the New York World, when
asked how he could have such light eyes
and be a Slav, he told that his eyes were
once much darker, but that using his
mind great deal had made them many
shades lighter. 1t is sometimes said that
using the brain makes the eyes lighter in
color. Tesla's confirmation of the theory
through his personal experience is impor-
tant.
He is very thin, is more than feet tall
and weighs less than 140 pounds. He has
very big hands. Many able men have.
Lincoln is one instance. His thumbs are
remarkably big, even for such big hands
They are extraordinarily big. This is a
good sign. The thumb is the intellectual
part Of the hand. The apes have very
small thumbs.

The Colby reading room, which hereto
fore has been under the management of
the Reading Room Association, is now
under the management of the faculty, and
the expenses of the room are to be added
to the term bills of each student, so that
all will share the expense equally. Accord
ing to the old method the whole expense
has been footed by a comparatively small
part of the students. The management of
the reading room was not taken
away from the assoc iation by the faculty,
but rather given up by the students. The
room will be carpeted, and suitable per-
son appointed to keep the place in order,
and it is the purpose Of those now having
charge of it to make it what it is designed
to be, one of the most pleasant rooms of

of tie faculty who has especial care of the
matter, and he is attending to every detail
to make the new plan a success.
