inclined to dwadle on the way and to
be Wiled out of the direct road by var
ious tempting distractions. For this
reason the dog works best at night as
letter carriers, especially as their pecu-
liar equipment Of collar and pouch
makes them rather CONSPICUOUS in day.
light. However their speed generally
saves them from capture, besides some
of the animals being so large and fierce
that anyone would think twice about
stopping them with hostile intentions
when there was no Nj. Pasteur within
reach as security for their bites.
In scouting operations special pre-
cautions are needed with the dogs, as
the nature of the country makes their
task more. difficult. At the word of
command the dogs must scour the
neighborhood, and bring their power
of scent into requisitlon. Sporting dogs
and kindred breeds are specially suited
to this work, but there is always the
danger that their sporting instincts
may tempt them away from their mill
taly duties. Indeed, when the animals
are let loose in thickly wooded coun-
try or Il district full of game the best
training fails to keep dog from hunt
ing on his own account and utterly re-
fusing to obey orders. Again, the dogs
are most useful in keeping up commu-
nication between the outposts and the
advanced sentinels. as they have the
advantage over orderlies in being less
affected by the condition of the country
and being able to travel quicker at
night.
During the French military opera

instituted between racing dogs, carrier

the riders 1851, the dogs sos, the bicy-
clists 0:15, and the tricyclists 1910.
On the same occasions experiments
were made with dogs carrying ammunf-

100 pounds. She was conveyed from

FRANCES coLoRs.
How the Red White and Blue Came
to Be Selected.

How the Red White and Blue Came
to BE Selected.
Some 20 or so years before France
was involved in the flames Of the revo-
lution-that is, at the epoch of the war
Of the Succession, when she was In
close alliance. with Spain and Bavaria
it was thought desirable to distinguish
the allied soldiers by a cockade. which
combined the colors Of the three ma
tions-the white of France, the red Of
Srain, and the blue of Bavaria.
To none of these incidents, however,
would it be wise to attribute the origin
Of the historic tricolor and cockade
adopted by revolutionary France. At
the outset there seemed likelihood
that green, which Camille Desmoulins
had populorized ut the Palais Royal,
would have become the national color;
but men remembered in time that it
was of the livery Of the Comte d'Artois
the most unpopular of the Bourbon
princes, and it was thereupon discard
ed.
A proposition was then made to as
sumo the colors Of the city Of Paris
blue and red, as Dumas reminds us
in his "Six Ans Apres" To these was
added the white" of so many glorious
memories, because it had always been
selected by the national guard-always
faithful to the throne and its traditions.
Not until some months after the cap
ture of Vie Bastile was the tricolor def
nitely adopted, when Bailly and Lafay-
cite presented it to Louis xvi, in the
great hall of the Hotel de Vile, and the
convention issued decree in which 1t
was described as consisting of three col
ors-''disposees en- trois bandes egales,

that is, in equal vertical sections, with
the blue inward, the red outward, and
the white between.

Icons legions, in conjunction with their

Germany War Dogs ON the March.
are enormously strong, while the Aus
TRANS incline to the Scotch collie, where
many of the points required in war
dog are most hereditary. Altogether
the animals are easily trained for their
duties, owing to their intelligence, keen
scent and remarkable capacity for find
Ing their way about, to say nothing Of
their perseverance, fidelity and attach
ment, not only to their special master
but to whole regiment.
The trainer teaches the dog to recog-
nize the uniform of oil probable oppo-
nents and to warn his master of an ap-
preaching danger by pointing, never
barking, except in dire necessity. This
Is one of the most important and ditti-
cult lessons. A noisy bark would alarm
foe as well MS friend, and it Is no easy
task to persuade spirited animal to
check the, natural impulse to bark and
to give warning quietly instead. Event
ually, however, the dog learns to utter
peculiar low growl when he perecives
an enemy or hears any doubtful noise.
No human ear is SO keen to note
sound as dog. which will recognize
football when his master has not the
slightest idea of any one being near.
Two men are especially successful In
training dogs-Lieutenant Jupin in
France, and the animal painter, Jean
Bungartz, in Austro- Hungary, while In
Germany the best trainers are taken
from the jaeger battalions, and III Italy
from the Bersaglieri.
Dogs of q dark color are preferred,
because they are less visible to the ene-
my. The training is pursued on the
general principle that the dog would be
treated very cruelty by an enemy, so
that the creature Is taught to creep
round the foe unnoticed and to give
distinct warning of hostile approach
without bringing itself into notice. For
instance, in the German training pro-
cess some OF. the soldiers put on French
and Russian uniforms to represent the
enemy. This arrangement, by the by,
suggests the idea that the Germans
have quite made up their mind whom
they are going to fight when the great
wa" does come. The pseudo French
and Russian then do all in their power
to arouse the dogs dislike by beating
and ill-treating the animals and shout
ing loudly at them in the two hostile
languages. When the dogs temper is
thoroughly excited against their ticti-
uous adversaries the German soldiers

IT IS BEGINNING.

A Movement in Capitol Addition
 Real Estate.
 The boom is here. It landed yester- day with both feet or with as many feet as booms may have. It did not come with sufficient force to erroneously be re- garded as seismic distur bance, but it really was one for whole lot of real estate was turned over. All the fore going relates to the purchase from Gen. Collins by Dr. E. A. Wehrman, a wealthy capitalist of Indianapolis, of fifteen lots in Capitol addition.
 The purchaser is so we'll pleased with his investment that he intends to buy a great deal more in the same locality, and he says he believes that those lots will be worth 5000 apiece within six months. It is pleasing to know that he is not simply holding them for the rise, but intends to put up handsome resi- dences upon them. He returned to Indianapolis last night, taking with him blue prints of the addition from which to make selections for other purchasers, on his early return to Phoenix in whose future he has an abiding faith.
