RED cRoss DOGS.
Trained Especially for Hospital service In
the German Army.

Trained Especially for Hospital Service In
the German Army.
At Lechenich, near Cologne, in Rhine
land, novel experiment In dcg-train-
ing for army service Is being made by
Jean Bungartz, the animal painter and
animal lover. His success Ia training
dogs for active army duty, rcconnoiter-
ing, sentry and messenger service has
been certified 20 by the German gov
ernmcnt; and now Mr.. Bungartz IL ed
ucatlng number OF dogs for hospital
and ambulance service. and these are
the so-callcd Hospital, or Red Cross
dogs"
For this duty tho Scotch collie Is
chosen, since Mr.. Bnngnrtz believes
that this breed has no equal for intclli-
gcnce, docility and fidelity. The Rcd
Cross dog Is fitted with saddlc-bags, in
which he carries, besides his biscuit,
everything necessary for the first
bandaging, and well-protectcd flask
% brandy. A large red cross appears
on the snddlc-bngs, and n lantern Is
strapped on the collic's back AZ night.

by those Of the wounded who have
crept away into ditch or hedge TO escape
the bursting shell and rush OF hoofs and
wheels, and, not found by the hospital
service, are reported as missing" or
arc discovered too late for relief.
Here the noble duty Of the Red Cross
dog comes In. There IA no thiclxct too
dense, no ditch too deep bur that these
keen-sccntod, quicls-sightod collies can
find the wounded man; and once found
they give tongue, and do not leave him
tin help comes.
The dogs are also taught 10 crouch
beside the wounded man, that he may
open the bag and find the rcviving
flask. The little lantern, securely
fastened 70 the back strap. enables the
seekers 10 follow the dog on dark
nights, and Il moreover conveys hope
20 tho wounded when tho friendly
light appears.
Mr. BunGnrik tells Of remarkable
work done by his dogs on nights 40
dark that tho seeking party passed
within Eve feet Of the PROSTATE man on
open ground. and but for the collie
would not have found him.

THE MYSTERIOUS DICE.

an Interesting Variation of n Decidedly
Entertaining Experiment.
A simple experiment with which
most people are familiar Is that known
ss the dance OF the puppets" A
piece of glass Is placed over two books.
resting on their edges, while under
meath, ON the table, are laid a number
of light objects, such as bits OF cork,
paper or the pith Of the elder tree. The
upper surface OF the glass Is rubbed
with piece Of flannel or other wooden
material previously warmed before the
fire. The glass thus becomes charged
with electricity, and all the objects
beneath IL ore seen 90 fly upward, then
fall back again.. keeping up lively
sort Of dance.
An interesting variation OF this ex-
pertinent is illustrated here. Procure
a box with glass cover. such as dolls
furniture Is sold in. asd from piece OF
the pith of an elder tree cut three little
cubes Of equal size, like dice, marking
them with the required number OF
dots by means OF pen and ink. Place
these in the box and rub the cover

cloth. The three dice will fly upward
and stick TO the under surface Of the
cover Now ask anyone present TO add
up the points marked on the dice.
After few seconds. without having
touched the box, count them up your
self and you can show your friend
that he was mistaken In his
connt; instead, for instance, of
seeing 8, 4, ., giving total
of 10, as he imagined, the
points are 1. 8. 4, which only give s.
And yet the dice are fast 10 the under
surface of the cover, and no one has
touched them. In few seconds more,
II you look again, you viii find new
combination, and so on, the mysterious
changes continuing 10 take place for

some time. The secret is this: The face
OF the cube which first comes In con-
tact with the glass loses its adhesive
force little by little and finally be-
comes detached. The cube is. how
ever, retained In position by the at
traction along one edge. and instantly
the face OF the cube nearest that edge
Is strongly attracted toward the ciuc-
irified glass and flies upward, 10 give
way, after n few seconds. 10 third
face, and so on until MI six have had n
turn, when the cube falls back 90 the
bottom OF the box. The experiment
can be renewed as many times as de-
sired by rubbing the cover OF the box
as before. The mysterious dice are
productive of much amusement rs long
as the secret OF their rapid changes re-
mains undiscovered by the spectators.
