THE DOG MUZZLING LAW.
An Alleged Ruse Of Some Owners to
ENade II.

The fact has been called to the attention
OF the District Commissioners that owners
OF dogs are seeking to eyade the NV re-
quiring CANNES to wear muZzles by placing
a strap around the animals jaws just be-
meath the eyes.
Poundkeeper Einstein states that his
men have receDtlv taken a number OF dogs
wearing a device Of this character. Such
an appliance. he holds. is in direct viola
ton Of the law as ii offers no protection
against the swapping or biting OF the ami
NAL wearing il.
Commissioner Wight, in speaking about
the matter yesterday. said that in his
opinion the placing Of strap around 4
dogs jaws, without leather or metal ex-
tending to the ANNALS nose and enclosing
his mouth, is a violation of the existing
law. Mr.. Wight also expressed the opinion
that inasmuch as an effort had been made
to enforce the law the Commissioners
would probably see that the rules were oh
served in this particular also.

FISH EATING BIRDS.

Seek Their Food Far Under the Sur
face OF the Water.
Nearly all the killing" of land ami
mails takes place on the surface of the
earth. Very few birds even are killed
In the air, except by sportsmen and by
"a few hawks. In this country. the
mole, the shrew and occasionally the
fox and rat kill prey at little distance
below the surface. But the ocean is
foraged and ravaged i'm all its coast

fifty species of aquatic moles, varying
in size from the seal to the sea parrots,
swift. active and voracious creatures.
which abandon the light and land and
air temporarily. or for the greater part
OF their lives. and necessarily burrow
in the deeps in pursuit of the fish. No
form OF life escapes them. IL any sea
creatures could hope to avoid the crea-
lures OF earth and air IL would be the
shellfsh, great and small, firmly an
chored TO the rocks on the sea bottom,
and often protected by shells or sucn
fiinty hardness that no bird and few
beasts could be supposed capable OF
crushing them. even IL they worked
above water. IL is conceivable that the
gigantic walrus should dive down to
the sea bed. and raking up he clam
shells with his tusks should crunch
them for a meal: but IL is astonishing
evidence of the invasion of the deep by
creatures of the air that the scauI
duck. the scooter and the elder. birds OF
swift flight and normal form, should
dive fathoms deep to the mussel and
whelk beds. and crush and devour these
! rd-shelled sea creatures with M
more difficulty than a thrush breaks
and eats a garden snail.
The only special equipment OF thu
scoters and elders Is the heavy ridg'

Griffin leaned with folded arms on the
Judges desk and awaited the decision.
The Judge thought $50 and costs would

to his friend Hartman. sitting among

took place. Suddenly he wheeled about
