Human Resemblance to Animals.

There is very curious point con-
nected with the more pronounced
animal faces-namely, those in
charge Of animals grow to be like
them. Thus, hostler in charge of
tramway horses has himself fine
Roman-nosed horse type of head,
growing day by day more like his
horses. Men in charge of cattle on
the farm become essentially bovine,
and in Shropshire it has often been
remarked that the sheep breeders re-
semble their own rams. l cannot
explain these singularities, which,
however, are wholly or partly true.
The sheep type of man is not indica-
tive of great intelligence, and it is
usually found in remote agricultural
districts. The bulldog characters in
man denote courage without refine
ment, but in the case of lady-like
her favorite pug dog-with nee re-
trousse, the refinement was not want
ing. The Eskimos or Lapps in the
water are so like seals that man has

An Electrically Lighted celIisry.

A big colliery in Lanarkshire, Scot
land, is to be lighted by electricity
throughout. The electric light plant,
as proposed, is divided into three
parts. In the first the dynamo will
run 800 lamps in the colliery itself,
to be distributed both throughout the
pit and above ground. Another is
devoted to the lighting of thirty-four
workmen's cottages, which are about
700 yards from the colliery, there
being three lights in each cottage, or
total of 102 lamps in all. The third
consists of complete electric pump
ing plant, capable of delivering 100
gallons of water per minute from the
adjacent river to the colliery. The
dynamos for the lighting Of the pit
and the workmen's cottages are being
so constructed that each dynamo can
be used for either purpose. Both
machines are designed to give q con-
slant pressure of current at the cot
tages; that is, no matter what de-
mand for current there may be at
any time in other parts of the plant,
there will never be dim light in the
workman's cottage.--[New York Sun.

1t is very curious spectacle to q
stranger who visits the city of Brus-
sells for the first time to see in the
morning innumerable small vehicles
loaded with fruit and vegetables ar
irving at the market drawn by dogs,
whose good-natured barking proves
not only that they experience no
fatigue, but, on the contrary, a genu-
inc enjoyment. 1t is not only the
kitchen gardeners and the peasants
coming to the city that make use
of this sort of haulage, for the butch
ers, the bakers, the coal dealers, and
the milkmen have no other means of
carriage in order to serve their GUS
toners. As a general thing each
cart is drawn by but one dog, but
there may be several.
The dog thus employed in Brus-
sells and it's vicinity for the traction
Of small vehicles is strong and
broad-backed mastiff, more squat
than large Dane or German mastiff,
generally of dull fawn color, or
more or less black spotted with
white, and somewhat short-haired
and rough coat. However the Bra
bant peasants do not appear to stick
to one type of breed with fixed con-
formation, color, and length of hair;
provided he is strong and energetic,
that is all that they require of their
steed with claws and fangs.
Good specimens are sold from $40
to $25. In the course of service
these dogs are fed upon bread and
horse meat, and their maintenance
costs about cent day. The dead
weight they haul is, on an average,
$50 pounds. Bulldogs haul a much
greater weight.
These dogs are very jealous and
perform their duty with as much
pleasure as hunting dogs do in follow
ing the trail of game.
An exercise which we'll exhibits
their qualities and shows the degree
of emulation with which they are
endowed is that of the races that
frequently take place as conse-
quence of challenges made by their
owners. The race course is high
way, and the goal is at distance Of
one or two miles. All passers-by
can enjoy the spectacle gratis. The
competitors place themselves in line,
and the Impotence of the coursers,
which is manifested by voice and
action, can be moderated only by
vigorous applications of the whip.
Finally the signal is given, and they
start off at full speed with loud bark
ings. Falls are frequent, and the
drivers literally bite the dust. But
the automatons in short blouses are
quickly picked up and put back in
their carts, exciting anew their Wig
orous steeds, and those that have the
oftenest fallen are not for that rea-
son the last to reach the goal.
The swiftness of team of dogs
is such that bets on speed have been
made on good horse harnessed to a
cab against one of these teams and
been won by the latter.
The Belgians say that good
draught dog costs less to keep and
sells at lower price than an ordinary
ass, while ut the same time doing as
much work. 1t is quite curious to
find that among civilized countries
Belgium is the only one that exhibits
to us the common spectacle Of dogs
in harness. La Nature.
