TOBOGGANlNG IN CANADA.
A Winter Sport That Is Greatly En-
 ioyed by All Classes.


 Tobogganing is one of the staple amusements in Canada. Sportsmen are not content with the naturally formed "chutes" down the side of a hill but construct artificial slides. These are generally wooden ereetions with the planes fixed at an angle of 45 de- grees, and with sheer drop of about l00 feet Water is poured over the wooded declivity, which in the frosty air Is soon transformed into ice, with surface as slippery as glass. When the bottom of the chute is reached the track extends over fields in as straight a direction as possible though in some cases not particularly level, but the momentum gained by the toboggan in hying down the chute is sufficient to carry it over any slight uprisings in the ground. The Canadian toboggan is a light, strong article, about five or six feet in length, and about 20 inches in width, composed of a number of nar- row wooden strips secured Zlongitud1- nally together, curling upward at the front. A handrail sometimes extends along each side of the toboggan to en- able the passengers to hold on, but the general rule is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front, the whole row of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. In some cases there are five or six oc- eupants in one toboggan, and with such combined weight the sledge flies down the chute as if impe1led from a cannon. Both men and women enter into the sport with great gusto, for the fun is fast and furious. When there is only one traveller to the toboggan he lies prone upon it, and in this manner, on account of the small amount of re- sistance that is offered by the atmos- phere, the maximum of speed is gained. The chntes are properly controlled in order to avoid accidents. One tobog gan is not permitted to leave the sum- nit of the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide. Occasionally, by some mischanee in- cured through faulty manipulation of the toboggan, a spill occurs on the ehute,and if a following toboggan were to dash into the overturned vessel the result would be relatively quite as dis astrous and terrible as collision be- tween express trains.

A DOG WITH A SALARY.
He Is Regularly Employed as a Street
 Advertising Agent.

One of the familiar sights about the business section and one attracting much admiring attention is a hand some black, curly dog, which walks along with sedate dignity, wearing hat on his head, spectacles on his nose, pipe firmly elenched between his teeth, and bearing large advertising sign on his back This canine adver- Using agent, who attends to his busi- ness With a diligence, perseverance and deeorum which many of his human rivals might do worse than initiate. is named Chester, and is the property of Ernest Jones, who usually accompanies him and who has trained him to the work. Chester is about five years of age, and is partly Newfoundland, part 1y Gordon setter. He has the long, in- telligent face of the setter, with almost human soft brown eyes. and the black. curly coat of the Newfoundland, the white on his breast being the only White about him. He is quite accom- plished, though his training dates but little before Christmas. He can open doors, goes obediently and intelligentIy on errands, can climb a ladder, jump through hoops, and play leapfrog like a boy just out of school. He understands the sign language, and will obey a command communicated to him by his masters fingers without a spoken word. He is not only docile, but ex- eeedingly affeetionate, and is very po- lite. But he is not without spirit, as he showed one day when misehievous neWsboy tried to take away his pipe, and succeeded in knocking it out of his mouth. He sprang upon the scared urehin and protested so vigorously and foreibly against interference that 1t took a policeman to rescue his tormen- tor from him, the sympathy of all the bystanders being with the animal He has a deep sense of the proprieties, and will not go out of doors without his hat. He has cause for his dignifed pride and evident self-respect, for he earns regular salary. Now he has companion in younger Newfound- land, who is also learning the adver- tising business. This is handsome dog, about IS months old, named Gro yer Cleveland. He is being broken to hat and sDeetacles, but does not take to them very kindly as yet, while Ches- ter rather resents the loan of his old hat, which he is compelled to make the newcomer The pair made a striking team of workers in their novel voca- tion.-Baltimore American.

WHAT'S IN A CORN STALK.
It Can Be rarned lnto smokeless
 Powder, Dynamite, Etc.

1t Can Be Turned Into Smokeless
 Powder, Dynamite, Etc.
 An immense cellulose plant is near ing completion in Linden, Ind, and when it is in operation Indian corn pith, for ages considered worthless. will be put on the market as a protec- tion for battleships of all nations, as smokeless powder, dynamite and other high explosives, as fine art paper. as varnish, kodak films, car-box packing, filler, waterproof cloth, linoleum, imi- tation silk, patent leather finish, face powder, silieate packing, and a hun- dred more as novel and varied forms of which the farmer, who has been throwing stalks away as waste, never dreamed.4,-Xh he outer lining-that part which incloses the pith-will be made into flour as an adulterant, as cattle feed, chicken fattener and an egg producer. Part of it will be made up into candy, some of it into eoloring dyes, and still other parts of it will become part of far more novel pro- cesses. It will add thousands of dol lars to the crop receipts of Indiana far mers, will consume only that which has been waste, and will furnish en- ployment for skilled workers. The an- nual average corn area of the United States is not far from 80,000.0 acres. Each acre yields on an average about 4,000 pounds of corn stalks, or total of 160 100000 tons. Of this weight S5 per cent, or 136. .000.00 tons, has value as feed, but not over ten per cent of it is actually fed The other fifteen per cent of the total weight, or 24.000,0o0 tons is the pith of the stalk, which has been a total waste, or even worse. This Indiana concern has a process which makes it possible for them to pay s tor for the stalks, and pro- duee a raw material which is worth seventeen cents a pound, or $340 ton. It is figured that if every ton of stalks in the United States could be so handled, it would increase the value of each crop S4S0, 100000.

Rnaaioes in Australia.

Buffaloes and elephants are by no means approaching extinction as rap idly as is commonly supposed. Im- mense herds of buffaloes roam about the vast northern plains of Australia, but bIoodthirsty blacks are also numerous in that region, and buffalo-hunters carry their lives in their hands. Also, according to the latest number of the British North Borneo Herald, large numbers of elephants occupy the jun gles to the south of Sandakan bay. It is suggested that they could be turned into a valuable asset for the colony if decoy animals were imported from India and the natives were taught how to construct "kedahs," or trapping en- closures.

FEEL EARTHQUAKE COMING
Animals Seem to Have a Sixth sense
 Few People Possess.


 When, in December, woman refus- ed to remain more than one night at Amalf, saying she was sure that the earth was moving, and when next day the landslip occurred, 1t was said. Here, at all events, one human being with the premonitory sense of earth quakes, with which most animals ap- pear to be endued." 1 have been told of instance after instance of horses. dogs, a monkey, and even ducks, who showed unmistakable signs of panic for a day two days, and even longer, be- fore the last great earthquake in the Riviera. Only to name few: A wom- an at Nice remarked the miserable con- dition of the horse she usually drove, and told her eoaehman to take him home and order a brougham from the livery stables for her. The hired horse was as timid, and seemed as weak, as her own The driver said all the an- imals were off their feet" A mon- key. two tame ducks and other pets, at villa near Villefranche, on the Shrove Tuesday-the day before the shock which destroyed so much life and property-refused to enter the house, where they were generally very happy. They were all spiritless, dull and scared. little white lap dog, who sat on the wide arm of his mas. ter's chair at meals, and was the most sociable of pets at all other times, re- fused also to "come home to roost." Other dogs also evineed an unwonted terror of being under roof. Cattle belonging to the dairies supplying the winter resorts siekened and seemed terror or-stricken-the quantity and quail ity of the milk suffering considerably. The woman of Amalfi is thought to owe her presentiment to hypersensi- tiveness of nerves, which gave her share of this sixth sense" which the animals possess.-London News

Some Points About s,st.,.

Extreme cold increases the tenaeity of pure metals and alloys, and the higher the melting point of metal the stronger 1t is likely to be. This is accounted for by the statement that metals with high melting points must necessarily be coherent and tenacious. Metals are composed of molecules. and high-melting point metals require an enormous amount of heat to drive the molecules apart

Cheap origin of Dear Brandy.

When we pay $4 bottle for brandy we are apt to overlook the fact that it is made of the surplus wine, the cheap, cent-a-quart stuff that nobody but peasants can stomach. This year over 35,000.000 gallons of claret will be dis titled into 2,5O0,0O0 gallons of brandy. Wine growing and stock raising are the life of France. more acres beipg put to vines and grass every year.
