DANGEROUS SHEEP.

The dangers of mountain climbing are
in general pretty well understood, and so
can be guarded against, but Sir w. Mar
ton Conway, in Scribner's Magazine, mar
rates q mountain adventure of really
novel sort.
On the way to Mud Lake We had a
strange adventure, Of which / was fortu-
nate enough to secure a photograph. We
were approaching the highest sheep-pas-
ture as the day waned. The sheep, LOO
in number, saw us from the surrounding
slopes, and urged by a longing for salt,
rushed down upon us from all sides, with
one united "Baan' in a wild, converging
avalanche.
We beat. off the leaders, but they. could
not retreat. for those behind pressed them
forward. Finding that Carrel was the
salter morsel, the whole flock surged upon
him. They lifted him off his feet, carried
him forward. cast him to the ground
and poured over him.
Fortunately the ground wds fiat. When
the shepncr6 saw what had hapepned he
whistled shrilly thrice, whereupon the
sheep dispersed in terror, fleeing up the
mountain side in all directions till no two
remained together.

A New Danger In Dogs.

The story is told in La Medicine Mod
erne, of a seamstress who was in the
habit Of allowing her dog to lick her
face. She was attacked one day with
a severe inflammation of the right eye.
Oculists were consulted. but their treat
ment was unsuccessful. and owing to
the fact that inflammation of the left
eye was beginning the right eye was
cut out. In it was found tape worm,
which the dog had probably picked
up while licking some less pleasing OBJ
ject than his mistress face. The
danger of the transmission of parasites
by dogs, who are well known to be in
discriminate in choosing objects for
the exercise of their tongues, to the
hands and faces of their masters, would
seem to be great one. 1t is remark
able that accidents of the kind related
happen as rarely as they do.

Tes Is with Pneumatic Tires.

The Society of Civil Engineers of
France has been finding out by actual
tests in what degree pneumatic tires
contribute to ease in vehicles. The
experiments were made with pneu-
matte tires and the ordinary wheel.
In travelling over two inches of snow
on muddy road at a walk the draught
of the iron wheel was 35,9 pounds,
against 25.2 pounds with the pneumatic
tire. At trot, with load of GO
pounds, the pull was CSC pounds and
1915 pounds respectively. In the mud,
under the same conditions OF load and
speed, the pulls were $50 and 5O.7 for
the iron wheel, against AL and 31.2
for the pneumatic tire. Under many
other conditions over various roads
the pneumatic showed from 30 to 5oper
cent. superiority in pulling power.
