Remarkable in many ways, the "tule
gnat" of the far west is most curious
for its almost total lack of weight. The
little insect has a nearly microscopic
body but relatively huge spread of
wings, which gives it the apparent
size of a mosquito. In some parts of
California 'tule gnats" swarm so
densely about burning lamps that sew
eral times during an evening the dead
must be cleared away to give the light
chance. In brightly illumined stores
the gnats are veritable pests, and it was
In a Lake county (Cal.) drug store that
curious experiment was recently
made. AS many gnats were collected
as could he heaped upon a pan of the
apothecary's scales; the smallest
weight in use to measure the most deli
cate drugs was then put upon the op-
posite pan and was found to overbal-
ance the mountain of gnats.-N. o.

Thrill me still as a lingering melody.

With smiles Of affection so tender and

New Protection from Bullets.


The committee of the Federal Shoot
ing association of Switzerland, while
target-shooting at Winterthur recently,
noticed that targets at the left side
OF the range received majority Of
bullets to the left Of the bull's-eye,
while the reverse was the case on the
other side of the range. Some quick
witted member of the committee sug-
gested that this apparent detection of
the missiles might be due to the electric
telephone wires which ohanced to be
strung on each side of the range. The
experimental committee found that all
projectiles that had been detected
from their course were magnetized.
The theory of electrical action being
thus supported, experiments were un-
dertaken to put the question to a final
test. The conclusion was reached that
IL would be feasible to protect an entire
section of troops from hostile rifle fire
at distance of 300 yards by means of
an electric current generated by dyna-
me or accumulator at one side; and
that at 900 to 1,400 yards even artillery
would be thus rendered harmless.-San

RUSSIAN HUNTING DOGS.

The Laikas Furnish Food, Draw
sledges and supply Clothing.
Harding Cox writes about laikas, or
northern dogs:
"The duties of the true laika," he
says, "are of an extremely varied ma
ture. Among the Chinese about 1,00O,-
900 are eaten every year, while in Rus
sia 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. It is estimated that nearly
100000 rubles' worth of game is
taken with the aid of the laikas in Rus
sia. Prince Schirinsky, Russian no
BILE. is trying to get cross between the
laika and some setter or retriever, be-
lieving that he would thereby obtain a
dog which would make as nearly a per-
feet hunting dog as is possible.
I'm the polar swamps the laika 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 after death.
"The laika has an upright, pointed ear,
which the dog pricks when excited.
The muzzle is long and sharp, but pow
erful, set to broad forehead. The
body is strong and at the quarters
broad and powerful. The ribs are big
and long. The chest is deep and broad.
The legs are for running, while the coat
is thick, having cotton under the hair,
which makes it warm.
"The chief colors are from black and
black and tan to grayish, but the dogs
are never spotted in the pure blood. A
few of these dogs can stop bear or any
thing else easily. The dogs are just
short of two feet igh."-London Field.
