TsttoOsd Nan Was Also a Trainos Of
Trick Dogs.


Speaking Of queer ways Of making
living" said a popular character ac
tor in the presence Of New Orleans
Times-Democrat reporter, 81 am re
minded Of quaint little experience
of my own, a few days before our com.
pany started on the road. | had sci
out to see a friend who runs a vaude-
Vile agency the other side Of Madison
square" he continued, "and, not find
ing him on the premises, sat down in
his private Office to wait. Presently
broad-shouldered, swarthy man
sauntered in, leading three fne-look-
ing dogs by chain, and also took a
chair in the back Office. Naturally
we fell into conversation, and he told
me that he was a professional dog
trainer for vaudeville entertainments.
MY wife and brother-in-law do the
exhibiting he said, mentioning a
team that / remembered having seen
on variety bills, and does the edu-
eating. When they are on the road
| always have at least two new dogs
in hand, SO if anything happens to
the old ones we wouldn't run short of
stock That struck me as being a
very curious vocation, and i asked the
trainer q good many questions. IN
reply he gave me lot of interesting
details of the business-how dogs of
the same species will differ widely in
intelligence; how tricks are impressed
on their memory by a series of cues,
and how the best of them will some
times forget their entire repertoire
for an evening at time and coverthe
Snowman with shame. l remarked
incidentally that / would imagine the
animals would be most apt to obey the
man who trained them, and asked
whether it wouldn't be an advantage
for him to take them on the road him
self. My wife understands 'em all
right enough he said, and l want to
stay at home and keep the stock. /
was in the profession once, he added,
gloomily, and ! got enough of it.
This racing up and down over the
country don't suit me- Just then my
friend came in, and as the trainer
turned to greet him got good look
at his face for the first time. He had
been sitting with his back to the light,
and only knew in a general way
that he was very swarthy, but now
saw, to my surprise, that his cheeks
and forehead and even his nose were
heavily pitted with black spots like
those made by powder explosion.
who is that manY / asked, after he
had secured some mail and departed.
Why, that's -, said my friend,
the greatest trick dog trainer in the
business. He picked it up himself
few years ago, and now he's getting
rich He seems to have met with
some accident, said !. What is the
matter with his fsce'' oh, that's tat
tooing? replied my friend, laughing. |
He used to be tattooed man in mu-
scum, and was fool enough to have the
tuff put all over his face. Since he's |
yet up as a trainer he has tried every |
way in the world to get it out, but has
only succeeded in spreading the
marks This struck me as being by

A GENTLE LIONEss.
Broke Out of the Menagerie But Showed
None of Her Native Instincts.

Broke Out of the Menagerie But Showed
None of Her Native Instincts.
Following is a story told of the es-
cape OF lioness from a menagerie at
Chartres the other day, which makes
one think that such a gentle creature
should not be kept a captive behind
bolts and bars, but should be allowed
the same freedom Of action as the
most respectable pug or pussy cat. 1t
was evening when the lioness left the
nenagerie, and for some hours her alb
sence was not noticed Meanwhile
she met an old lady, who patted her on
the head, thinking her to be a dog.
This kindly treatment evidently won
the heart of the lioness, who followed
her meekly for some distance. Then
the hue and CIV was raised; women
and children, panic-strieken, shut
themselves into houses and barricaded
and doors while a search was
made for the lost inmate Of the me
nagerie, which was at last found in
a frightened condition in a carpen-
ter's yard, and was doubtless de-
lighted to besafely taken back again.

of the man who brought his dinner. He
was pale and trembling.
What is all this noise we hear in the

was upon the point of turning away.
The man turned and looked the speak

prisoners face plainly.

"Yes. They're fools-or else they're

Yes" answered the Mexican, with a

And in a moment more he was gone.
And so the day wore away, and when
Clarence laid his head upon his hard pill
low at night, he could still hear the busy
hum that came up from the camp of
his countrymen.

1t was soon settled that the young Off

VOLCANOES Have Their Spasms that Sci
entists Can ForeteIl.
Careful study of the behavior of vol
canoes has enabled observers in recent
years to predict with some degree of
accuracy when a renewal of plutonic
activity is impending. This was the
case when Mount Etna for few days
attracted attention, after seven years
of almost complete quiescence. The
last eruption had occurred in 1892, but
in the autumn of 1898 blue flames be-
gan to emerge from the mouth OF the
| largest crater and great deal of va
por was emitted from the lesser ORR
fees.
1t was then announced that Etla
seemed to be preparing for an effusion
of lava, probably on the south or south
west slopes. The expected eruption did
not begin till the morning of July 10,
1899, when great volumes Of smoke,
with lava and sand, began to issue
from the main crater, but after several
days the activity subsidized and Etna
soon resumed its peaceful aspect. The
present generation hCars little of San
TORN, among the Cyclades, in the
Egean sea, but the volcano will again
become a center Of interest if the re-
cent statement is true that Santorin is
preparing for another series of the ter
rife explosions and outbursts of flame
that have always marked its active
periods.
For thirty years Santorln has been
content with the continuous mid
emission of gases, but according to
| Complies Rendus of the French Acad
envy of Sciences the volcano now OK
hibits much unrest and an active pc
riod is predicted. 1t is near the cres-
cent western shore of Thera that Sau-
TORN has reared itself and two other
lava islands above the sea- When it
finally arouses itself after long periods
of quiescence, no volcano 2Xcels it in
violence of its outbursts.
The eruptions between 1866 and 1870,
when, according to Reclus, no less than
10000 of partial eruptons were count
ed in five years, drew spectators from
all parts of the world, including some
men of science, whose observations
made a distinct addition to our knowl-
edge of volcanic action. In that pc
Rod the ashes We're sometimes thrown
to a height of 1900 feet and the inn
mense outpouring of scoriae more than
doubled the size of the island Of Nea
Kammeni
Old reliable Stromboli, on its island
thirty miles west of the Italian province
of Calabria, can always be counted on
to present about th,. same kind and in
tensity of phenomena. The latest re-
port says chat seven craters are active,
and that the volcano is showing its
normal explosive activity" Every few
minutes lava bubbles up in the crater,
explosions are heard and stones are
tossed into the air. The spectacle,
particularly at night is pleasing, and
the island olive growers gather their
crop without fear that Stromboli will
ever misuse them. 1t has It's moments
Of irritation, however, and then the
ashes may rise so high into the mir as
to be carried off 10 the coast of Gala
bria.

Attention was called al a recent meet
ing of naval architects in London to the
extremely rapid increase in the use of
steel In place Of iron for ship-building.

"Lloyd's Register classed only seven
steel ships as against 49, iron ones, in
1899 almost 90 per cent of the total out
out of the British shipyards consisted of
steel and but little more than one per
cent Of iron vessels.
