NATURAL HISTORY. 1
Another Kind of Cattle.

Driving the COWS home is some
times an exciting business down in
Maine, to judge from a story found
in our exchanges. Such things are
very pleasant-afterward
Jack" Clark is a stout boy OF four
teen years, living at Sherman, Maine.
He goes after the cows every night
and drives them home to the tie-up,
always in the greatest safety, but the
other night he had an adventure which
has led to the substitution Of his elder
brother in the gathering of the kline.
Last Saturday night Jack went down
after the cattle. The animals were In
the pasture and it was almost dark
before he got to them. He started
them homeward with some speed, but
one Jagged in the shadow under the
trees. Jack threw a stone at the sup
posed cow and got a very large sur
prise in return. He heard the stone
strike the animal with hollow thump
On it's ribs, and expected to see the COW
come from under the trees on a swing
ing run. Instead a big moose bounded
out into the opening and made for the
youngster. Jack knew the animal at
once. Boys and girls when they get
big enough to walk the streets OF Sher-
man in boots and stockings know wild
animals when they see them. So JACK
knew the moose. He made for the
nearest tree and got into it without
delay. The moose was close at the
boys heels when he climbed into the
lower branches and snorted around
the foot of the trunk in way that
made the boy shiver and grab the
limbs nervously. After about an hour
the big brute went off in rod-long
jumps. Jack came down, ran home and
told the story.

England Strengthening Places Along the
Line of the Canadian Pacific.
Having made Victoria and Esqui-

ish war Office is now taking another
step in making Esquimault one of the
strongest strategic points in the en-
uire, says an exchange. In a letter from
Admiral Stephenson, 1t was stated that
the ships in the Aorth Pacific squadron
would be soon replaced by modern war
ships, among them being at least one OF
the first class, like the Powerful or
Terrible. Not only that, but 1t is in
tended to fortify every pregnable point
along the line of the Canadian Pacific
railroad. The north Atlantic fleet is
also TO be greatly strengthened and the
object of fortifying the railroad is to
render cooperation between the two
seaboards practically certain in case of
war. The Atlantic feet has been ac-
customed to summer at Halifax and
winter in the West Indies and the Pa
cific feet spends the summer at either
Callao or Honolulu, staying the rest
of the time at Esquimault. Now there
will be two fleets in the Atlantic, one at
both Jamaica and Halifax, and the
Pacific squadron will remain all the
year round at Esquimault. When the
changes are complete 5000 men will be
in service at Victoria. Just what this
move portends no one here knows.

The Smallest Dog in the World.


The English papers record the death
of a celebrity, in the person, so TO
speak, of the toy terrier Tiny, who was
reputed to be the smallest dog in the
world. Though Tiny was the property
of a general, Sir Archibald McLaine,
he was scarcely a war dog.
Tiny was four inches long and could
easily curl up and lie down on the
hand of a young boy. He had, how
ever, reached adult years. Like most
toy dogs, which are really perver-
sion of nature, Tiny was very weak
and unpleasant specimen of doghood.
He had no appetite and could hardly
eat enough to keep himself alive. He
died at last of a cold, though he was
always scrupulously blanketed when
he went out and his master, following
a custom which is quite general in Eng
land, had his little body skinned and
stuffed and presented it to the 70
illogical museum in London. Tiny, like
almost all the very smallest of pigmy
dogs, was of the black-and-tan terrier
breed. His small size was not the re-
suit, as some people suppose in such
cases, of dwarfing the creatures
growth by feeding II on whisky, but
of selection in breeding.

TyA,ps without Rails.

Experiments which are described as
satisfactory have recently been made
in the suburbs of Paris with train,
drawn by steam locomotive, running
not on rails but on an ordinary road.
The train used at present consists of
only two cars, one of which contains
the locomotive machinery, together
with seats for fourteen passengers,
while the other has twenty-four seats.
The engine is of sixteen horsepower
and the average speed is about seven
miles an hour. The train is able to
turn in a circle only twenty-three feet
in diameter. Another train has been
constructed for the conveyance OF
freight. 1t is hoped by the inventors
that trains of this kind will be ex-
tensively employed in and near cities.
