1.-THE duties of the true laika," he
says, "are of an extremely varied ma

100000 are eaten every year, while
in Russia the beast is trained for all
sorts Of hunting-squirrels, bear, deer,
snipe. capercailzie, ermine, sable, and
all the other beasts are taken with them,
even the wolves. Ii is estimated that
nearly 1000. 900 ubles' worth of game
is taken every year with the aid Of the
laikas in Russia. Prince Schirinsky,
a Russian noble. is trying to get cross
between the laika and some setter or
retriever. believing that he would there

''In the polar swamps the laikas are
used in drawing sledges, AS well as hunt
ing, by the natives, while their warm
pelts are made to serve as coats and
trousers.
1.-The laika has an upright, pointed
ear, which the dog pricks when excited.
The muzzle is long and sharp. but pow
erful, set to "A broad forehead The
body is strong and at the quarters broad

long. The chest is deep and broad. The
legs are for running. while the coat is
thick, having cotton under the hair.

black and tar TO grayish, but the dogs
are never spotted in the pure blood. A
few of these dogs can stop bear or
anything else easily. The dogs are just
short of two feet higher"

Among the achievements Of science is
the production of petroleum from lin
seed oil by distillation under pressure.
Two theories have been held as to the
origin of petroleum. One is that it is Of
vegetable, the other of animal origin.
1t is not unlikely that it may be COM
bination of both. Animal and vegetable
oils filter through the ground and might
by changes in the chemical laboratory
of nature produce this substance. AT
all events, the fact is significant and
interesting, especially as several petro-
leum hydrocarbons have resulted from
the experiments as noted.-New York

~The commissioners appointed
by the town board OF trustees for the
proposed extension Of 9Th street,
asked for by Mr.. Jos. Egg, made
their report on last Monday. After
they had viewed the ground Mr..
Joseph Egg took them into Mart.
Gosman's saloon, and treated them
to the beer, which from the nature
Of their report probably influenced
such report. Men who have no
more intelligence than to be inhu-
enced that way, every sensible per
son will admit are not fit for Com

port one tract, taken entirely for the
