War DORa.
From the Militara-W ochenblatt.

From the itara-Wochenblatt
Some very interesting experiments as to
the utility of war dogs were made in con-
rection with the Dresden International dog
show on the race course near Dresden. A
company was suppose to be covering
some transports of horses against an i'm
aginary enemy. In order to do this more
effectually some non-ccmmissioned officers,
accompanied by trained dogs. were sent
forward to watch the approach of the en-
envy. They advanced about a mile and
quarter, while keeping up communication
with the company by means of the dogs.
In this way the company was kept fully in
formed as to the movements Of the enemy,
and could step the transport of horses in
good time before the attack. The same
ton to the firing line, each dog being pro-
vided for this purpose with kind of sad
die holding 300 cartridges. The animals
will go along the lines, stopping in front of
every man, who takes the number of car
is exhausted the dogs will hurry back to re-
sumo the distribution. The dogs are also
trained to find the wounded and attract
the attention of the ambulance men in va
rious ways, some remaining near the man
and barking until assistance arrives, some
running off to find an ambulance man and
lead him to the spot, and Others taking the
mans forage cap or tearing away piece
of his clothing and carrying 1t to the at
tendantS.

that famous ruin. The Casa Grande In
many respects " the most interesting ruin
IN the United States 1t is remarkable
specimen of aboriginal architecture, being
the best-preserted example of type of
structure once widely distributed in the
ella valley andvfound nowhere else. 1t is
supposed to be- about 600 years old. The
ruin proper is what remains Of a big house.
The house has, three central rooms, each
ten by twentyJfol feet. and two other
rooms nine by thirty five feet. One of the
rooms is three stories high, while the
others are only two stories above the
ground. The northeast and southeast cor
ners of the building have fallen, and the
large blocks of which they were composed
are strewn aboyt.,s
The house Isl but surviving fragment
Of what was once a town of considerable
size. The surface of the ground In the I'M
mediate vicinity Is covered with ruins over
an area Of sixty-fiye acres. The structure
described Is near the southwest corner. Its
walls are composed of huge blocks of earth
from three to five feet long. These were
not nodded like bricks and put in position,
but were manufactured in place.
The damage done to the Casa Grande by
relic hunters during the last twenty years
has been much greater than that wrought
by the elements in the preceding two CEN
turtles. Even the strmps Of the floor 5oists
have been torn out and carried away.

THROUGH GRAND CANYON.
A Minister'S PeriI0us Descent of the
Colorado River.

A Minister'S PerflOus Descent of the
Colorado River.
From the Los Angeles Cali Herald
Rev. David Utter of Salt Lake recently
made the descent of the Colorado river on
a raft built of driftwood, twenty feet long,
six feet wide and well spiked together Two
boxes. with false bottoms, containing pro-
visions, were nailed upon the raft They
served as seats when the water was smooth
and protected the provisions from the
swash. The navigators got into serious
trouble only once. On the first day the
raft was carried into an eddy about GOO feet
long and 800 feet wide and very deep. At
the foot of the eddy the current was SO
strong that it required an hour of the hard
est kind of padding to get over into the
stream again.
III either of us had lost his footing there
and gone overheard that would have been
the end" said Mr.. Utter. because the suck
would have carried him down, and If he
should be fortunate enough to come I'D
again there would be nothing to take hold
I'VE were three days on the raft tying
up at night, and made about half the dis
lance the first day. The scenery well re-
paid the journey. and the Black Canyon,
5000 feet, with sheer precipices on both
Sides rising like masonry from the river,
was grandeur itself. We encountered one
very unpleasant feature-a hot wind, such
as I never felt before. Instinctively we
turned our backs to the blast 1t literally
cooked the skin. I wet a towel and held it
outspread before my face. 1 am certain it
dried within three minutes-perhaps two.
No nausea was connected with it, simply
plain heat. When we reached the big bend
at Fort Mojave 1 learned that this wind
came from Death Valley. or the Mojavo
desert"

The Colonel and the Melon Thief.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A prominent colonel of Swainsboro has
a watermelon Patch which has been raided
by enterprising darkies on several occa-
sicns. The colonel missed so many melons
that one night recently he seized a double
barreled shotgun and repaired to his melon
patch to await the coming of the thief.
He soon saw what appeared to be the fig
ure Of a man, when he Immediately opened
fire.
menced. The colonel thought he saw the
man draw a revolver to return the fire. and
this, together with other extreme excite
nent, so unnerved him that he forgot to
fire the other barrel of his gun, and dashed
with all his might for his residence. He
knew the front door was barred SO he
made for the back door. But during his
abs ence his wife had barred that door also.
When he reached the door he was travel
irg at such a rapid rate he could not stop
to unbar it, so he decided it wasn't much
in the way. anyhow, and as he dashed
against it the door flew all the way across
the room, striking the wall and shatter-
ing twelve window panes.
Investigation next morning on the scene
of action developed the following facts:
The melon patch is virtually ruined, 1t be-
ing torn to pieces by the colonel and the
thief each doing his best to see who could
get out first. The first leap the colonel
made he jumped clear from under his hat,
which was found next morning. He ran
over melons, bursting them right and left.
tearing the vines off the land. On the
other side, where the thief went out. was
found blood on the vines. trees and fence,
and where he went out of the melon patch
there were twelve panels of plank fence
knocked down.

GRINDING CREDITORS.

Were Mean and Perverse Enough to
Spoil the Honest Mans Plans.
From the Chicago Post.
1--WE can't go to Europe this year." said
the progressive business man decidedly.
But, John"
TITS no use to argue" he interrupted.
You wanted to go and I did my best. but
my seoundrelly creditors won't let me.
They're the most unaccommodating lot I
ever had dealings with
"They-they won't have you arrested, will
they?" she asked anxiously.
Arrested he exclaimed. ''Well, should
say not. But they're mean and petty.
Why, Maria, when 1 failed I figured that I
could pay them twenty cents on the dollar,
and then we'd take a trip around the
world, but they're so small they wouldn't
accept 1t. Then I offered 'em thirty cents
and arranged for a trip to Europe, but
they wouldn't take that"
Then what can we do, John?"
"Well I've made up my mind to offer
them fifty cents tomorrow, and If they
take that We'll try Narrangansett Pier or
Bar Harbor for a month"
do you think they will accept it?''
Il don't know. When men get so mean
and small that they'll hold a poor I'M
on the dollar when he has his plans all
made for a tour of the world you can't tell
what they'll do. These fellows are so grind
ing mean that I don't believe they'd care
II they made me pay 100 cents on the dol
lar and beat me out of my vacation en-
tirely. There are some awfully annoying
and perverse men in this world"

Cat Boat.

than one-thirteenths are steam vessels,
launches, ETC., and not sailing boats at all.
One-eleventh are classed as large yachts,
including many steam and sail vessels,
big schooners and sloors; all of more than
forty feet water-line measurement. That
Is to say of 1000 recorded yachts, five
sixths are sailing vessels under 40 feeG
showing conclusively that the majority of
American yachts are small boats that are
managed by their owners.
Enormous Sums Invested.
The 200 clubs report a membership Of
over 1900 meE, 1000 of whom are craft
owners. Leaving out one-sixth of them
as owners of large and costly vessels, rang
ing in value from 5000 to perhaps $500, 900
each, and assuming the average cost of
the small yachts to be about $1,000 (Which
Is low fgure), one finds that five-sxths
OF these 1000 yachts represent an invested
capital of over $3,30O,OOO; a large sum
when 1t Is taken into consideration that
pleasure craft never pays back anything
in profit to the owners.
The earliest form of yacht was of course,
row boat with a sail. This in time gave
way to the wider-beamed boat with greater
sail-carrying ability, and a center board.

Bar HarbOr.
From Life.

fTOm Lie.
Bar Harbor is the capital of Mt. Desert,
which is an island several miles in diam
eter and several feet high. 1t is entirely
surrounded by water, and inhabited by
millionaires, who derive n scanty subsist-
ence from its sterile soil by yachting. driv-
ing and golfng.
water and girls.
The principal products are morning calls,
afternoon teas and dinner dances. When
not attending to the cultivation of these
staples the Inhabitants are occupied in
driving up and down to see that none of
the scenery-to which they are much at
tached-has got away during the night.
Mt. Desert was discovered several years
ago-before the Christian science era-by
Frenchmen, who looked over the menu, and
finding nothing there within their means,
gave their names to several dishes. and left
the island to be rediscovered by the hardy
race of millionaires who came after them,
and who still subSiSt there.
The dwellings Of this curious and inter-
esting people are called cottages, and are
constructed Of bricks, mortar and bric-a-
brac.
In habit. nesting and raising their young
and giving dinner parties in their cottages
in the summer, while during the winter
they migrate to large cities where they
fight and devour other millionaires; the
victorious ones returning to Bar Harbor
the next season, while the unsuccessful re-
tire to less favored resorts, such as New
port, Long Branch or Nantasket.
The millionaire Is exceedingly Industrious
during the summer season, attending most
assi6uously to the arduous social duties or
functions by which he supports existence,
and from which he rarely allows himself
to be diverted by any considerations Of en-
joyment or recreation.
The female of the species Is deciduous,
shedding It's plumage frequently-some-
times as often as five or six times in a
single day-the feathers generally becoming
moro and more brilliant as the day ad-
vances.
Scientists have been undecided as to
whether the brilliant female millionaire is
protective or initiative or for the purpose
of attracting the male, though I believe the
best modern thought inclines to the latter
opinion.

With the adoption of the latter the era of
American yachting really began The
steady improvement of center-board mod
els. and the Importation from England of
the cutter type Of narrow, deep-keeled
boats, furnishing our own yacht builders
and designers with material for thought
and experiment during many years; and
their efforts to improve are not less earn
esL today than they have been in the past
From the primitive sprit-sail pleasure boat
comes the ever present and universally ia
vored center-board catboat, type of yacht
which, for speed, hardness and unsafeness
has never been surpassed. Keel catboats
are built, but the typical American cat" is
of light draft, big beam and huge sail,
From the center board catboat grew the
jib-and-mainsail sloop. a type which is
wc1thily noted for its great speed ard gen.
eral unhandiness. Small yachts of this
kind are always racers and for this reason
they are in the lists of popular boats. In
design they are like the catboats, the only
difference being in their rig. These two
boats. the center-board cat and the lib
and-mainsail sloop are what watermen call
"sandbaggers;" that Is to say, their ballast
consists of bags of sand which are shifted
to windward with every tack, and. in this
way serve to keep the yachts right side up
These boats are neither safe nor comfort
able.
The next popular and most universally
used pleasure boat is the ballasted sloop
