A GREAT DISCOVERY.

1t seems that at business and other
places, where the playing of street
brass band is annoying, it is customary
to send boy out to suck lemon,
facing the men who play the wind in
struments. These men cannot play on
their instruments at all if they see the
boys mouth puckered up by the sour
lemon juice, which fact is utilized by
those who are disturbed by the street
music; also by others who want to try
the experiment or think it funny to
move the wandering minstrels. Ac-
tuated by the former motive, an emf
nent scientist paid boy quarter to
90 and suck a lemon IN front of the
futist and French horn players. and the
man with the oboe, who had located in
front of his Office; and no sooner had
the bandmaster caught sight of the boy
than he removed his artists to the next
square. The boy followed, and again
the band moved. The third time the
lemon sucking boy faced the wind in
struments the bandmaster. who had
been gradually growing infuriated,
struck the lemon from his mouth. The
boy howled, and a policeman who
arrived inquired the cause of the dis
turbance. The bandmaster said he
was standing there sucking lemon,
which, the officer explained. the boy
had a right to do, SO the leader pro-
ceeded to other parts. Hence, the
scientist is convinced that it is fact
that it is impossible flor performers to
blow into wind instruments if they see
any one Sucking lemon. This is the
starting point for an essay which the
scientist is preparing on the subject of
the Iimpossibility of falling in love
with any one while whistling-Phila-

THE DOG.

Although the recent discussion of the
origin of the dog cannot be said to have
settled the long controverted question.
there seems to be a decided drift of
opinion among naturalists that our
numerous varieties of domesticated
dogs are descended not from single
species, but from several kinds Of wild
animals. as. for instance, the wolf and
the jackal.
There are recorded examples of
tanned wolves, which in gentleness,
love for their masters and intelligence
showed truly dog-like capacity.
With regard to tanned jackals. Darwin
has pointed out that, when caressed,
they jump about for joy, wag their
tails. lower their ears, lick their
masters hands, crouch down, and even
throw themselves ON the ground, feet
upward. When frightened they carry
their tails between their legs.
On the other hand, it is understood
that, whatever animal we may consider
his progenitor, the demonstration of
the dog began at all epoch exceedingly
remote. The fossil remains of large
dog have been found in tertiary de-
posits. and there is no doubt that the
dog existed in a domesticated state
during prehistoric times. His bones
are discovered in the she'll heaps of
Denmark and in the lake dwellings
of Switzerland.
The dog meets us in the dawn of
history, for such varieties as the
hound, greyhound and watchdog are
depicted on Egyptian monuments
5000 years old. 1t is we'll known
that in Egypt the dog was worshipped
under the title Of Anubis, and dog
mummies have been found. There il
a mastiff figured on an Assyrian sculp-
ture belonging to GAO B. G.
The fact is often overlooked that
dogs were used by the Greeks and
Romans not only in the chase and
for hunting down escaped prisoners,
but for war. being armed for that pur-
pose not only with spiked collars, but
with coat of mail. 1t is said that
Corinth was on one occasion saved by
80 war dogs, which foiled a night at
tack Of the enemy, fighting until all
were killed but one, which succeeded
in arousing the garrison.
1t is worth noting that, according to
some naturalists. the Newfoundland
and st. Bernard dogs form group by
themselves, derived neither from
wolves nor jaokals, but from a dis
tinct species Of progenitors. 1t is 8
disputed question whether the New.
foundland dog is indigenous to NORTH
America or was introduced either by
the Norwegians in the year 1000 or by
Cabot in 1497. Bearing on this ques
ton is the insteresting fact that the
Norwegians have dogs closely resem
bling the Newfoundland breed. The
Dingo dog of Australia does certainly
seem to constitute distinct. indi
genous species, since it is now found
in both wild and domesticated state
in that country. and its fossil remains
are associated with those of extinct
mammals. -Philadelphia Record.
