DEATH OF A FAMOUS OLD DOG

Jip, the dog detective, for many years
famous in San Franc SEQ Tor his smart
ness, is dead. He passed away on Ano
Nuevo Island a short time ago after living
there for about three years.
Hundreds of people in this City will re-
member Jip. He was known under the
various titles of ''The dog detective, The
dog life-saver," 1.-The dog paper carrier"
and Tom dog" His owner was Thomas
n. Butwel at present keeper OF the Gov
ernment fog signal at Ano Nuevo Island.
Certainly no dog was ever more sagacious
than Jip nor more useful. He did all that
was expected OF him, and was continu-
ally surprising people by doing things
that were not expected of him.
Jip was born in Oakland in 1888. He
was full bIooded setter, and had most
amiable disposition. When very young
he showed remarkable intelligence, and
in some unknown manner seemed to
know what was right and what was
wrong.
His first act of what might be called
heroism was certainly strange for dog.
He was down near the Twelfth street dam
in Oakland one day when the water was
being leto of Lake Merritt and suddenly
caught sight of two kittens that had been
overtaken by the rising water. The two
little animals were struggling and crying
and woald most certainly have been
browne if it had not been for Jip The
dog seemed TO know that something was
wrong and plunged into the rapid cur
rent at the risk of his own life and soon
rescued the kittens.
Jip was a great traveller, and was as
likely 10 be in Oakland as San Francisco,
although his home was in the latter
place. On a certain occasion little boy
was lost from his home in Oakland, and,
in spite of the efforts of the police, friends
and detectives was not found for tour
days, and then it was Jip that did
the work. How the knowledge came to
he dog is one of the mysteries OF nature.

OF Web S street. was attracted by Jips
barking and running toward l1rge sand
box in vacant lot. The policeman fol-
lowed The dog and there was the little
lost boy lying in the bottom of the sand
box, almost dead from munger and ex-
pcsure.
The greatestact of Jp's lite was saving
boy from drowning. The youngster had
fallen off the END of Mission-street pier
into the bay. Jip happened TO be near
and jumped in after him. After a hard
struggle the dog caught the boy by the
coat anc managed to keep him ahoat until

the two cables are constantly varying IN

supported upon the track by means OF
what is called a com pensating truck; that
is, truck which provides for the varla-
ton in the vertical height OF dl11erent
sections of the track, and in this way
maintains the car at uniform height.
Each OF the trucks by which the car is
supported consists of a pair OF truck
wheels, which are pivoted on studs-that
is. the connecting cylinder of steel which
runs from one truck wheel to another,
known as part OF the axle.
These are held in the ends OF arms and
with the wheel at each end by
the hub, which holds the truck wheels

boatman got to them and took them
ashore, the boy being unconscious.
AS an assistant to policemen Jip was
the best that could be had. He has helped
arrest dozens of wrongdoers, and on dif-
ferent occasions was the first to be sus-
picious of guilty people. AT a certain
time the dealers at the Clay-street market
were troubled great deal by thieves and
the police were unable to locate the cul-
prits.
One day an officer was standing on Mer-
chant street when two young men passed

be near. commenced to growl and fol-
lowed the men. The officer stood and

steel cables, one inch in diameter, can
carry, at span of 200 feet and sag of five
feet, about 1900 pounds with perfect safety.

swings and sways about, giving corre-
spending motion. The idea of it all is
simply tbis-to have either alternating
or non-alternating supports. By alter
mating supports is meant series of sup
ports where the supports of one ca BILE
alternate with and are placed midway be-
tween the supports of the other cable, so
that the point of the greatest depression
caused by the sagging of one cable shall
come opposite support of the other
cable. Non-alternating supports are sim
ply the reverse of this.

helped arrest as many more. For leng
time Jip's owner, "Tom" Butwell used to
be boatman for The CALL and took the
papers across the bay to Oakland every
NJ morning.
For while Tom used to go 10 the press
room for the papers himself, but soon Jip
got into the habit OF doing the work and
never neglected to show up at the proper
time. The bundle of Oakland papers was
not so large in those days as It is now and
Jip used to carry them in his mouth.
After going TO Ano Nuevo Island Jip
was quite contented for long time, but
finally began to miss the life of big city.
He would never allow himself to be alone.

FoA good many years 1t has seemed
10 me that the problem OF trans portation
was to be solved by a railroad in the
air. The elevated roads were the first
step in this rection, but they were TOO
bulky. l made mp my mind that some
thing could be found that would do, and
O the scheme l have patented, which is
called a continuous aerial cable speed
way, resulted.

respond with the plane OF the cable. But
the truck Is so made that no matter how
much the wheels themselves may change
in position vertically the car itself will be
maintained at level. Thus it will run as
smoothly as if it were upon the surface of
the ground.
1t may be objected that the wheels
can leave the track when running over q
support just as easily as if the supports
were placed side by side; but this is not
so. The moment wheel riding over a

ger to the passengers in them.
Another thing no one before has hit
upon, or at least patented, is a means to
make the motion of the carriage of an

there should be-of which there Is ho
danger--such an accident as the Jumplns

cable. the occurrence would really not be
noticed by the passengers.
On the other hand, if botk wheels and
all the rest of the carriage had to follow
the ups and downs OF the cable, as is the
case with inventions which have preceded
mine, the speed would need to be very
slight because the whole system would be
subjected TO undue sudden strain, sway
ing up and down of the ca bles, etc. IN
der my method there are no such evils to
be feared. l firmly believe that my cable
speedway is the legitimate successor OF
the elevated railroad. The elevated roads
are costly to construct, bulky and ex-
pensive to run. The aerial cable speed
