crater fell in, blocking up the vents
from which the gases had escaped. A
few days later, this mass having be-
come red-hot, squirt of fame 200 feet
high was sent out, accompanied by a
tremendous roar. The column of fire
was yellow, with flashes of red, violet
and intense blue. Prof. Matteucci,
who saw it, says that it was the only
jet of incandescent gas ever observed

dental Instruments.
Then a young surgeon, in a white coat, ap-
peared. He took up one of the Instruments

with the other and the surgeon examined the
broken tooth.
"A splinter must come off here he said, and
he took up instrument two feet long, scfs-
sor shaped, and with cutting edges that were
sa wlike. This was a cutter, and on being ap-
piled to the tooth it snapped off the splinter as
though it had been chalk.
Among the dental instruments the table
an electric battery buzzed. The surgeon fixed
to one of its wires a drill, and instantly a burr
of steel upon the end of the drill began to re-
voIve as fast as circular saw. He applied the
drill to the tooth. With a humming sound it
dug its way through the torn enamel. making it
smooth in a moment.
The surgeon cleansed the tooth thoroughly
with hot air blown from a syringe. Then he
took up in a forceps a mOrsel of dental gold.

HOW TO TEACH A HORSE TRICKS
CAN BE MADE TO SIGNAL YES" AND
no" TO SHAKE HANDS AND
TO LIE DOWN

There arc so many things that a horse can
be taught to do, says Success" that it is hard
to tell which to select best illustrating the
methods by which we teach them. The follow
ing however, will furnish the key:
Take a pin in your hard, and. standing
abreast of a horses shoulder, prick him
lightly on the breast. This resembles the bite
OF fly and, to drive off the nuisance, he will
bring down his nose to his breast. This you
accept as Yes and Immediately reward him
by feeding him lump of sugar some other
trif1e that he likes. Repeat the operation till he
brings down his head at the slightest movement
you can substitute a simple downward move
ment of the hand, which is less noticea BILE to an
onlooker, but equally effective.
Standing in the same position prick him light
ly with pin on the top of his neck. He Will at
once shake his head. which is accepted as NO"
then reward him as before Repeat this until
he shakes his head at the least upward move
lesson more perfectly, be gradually lessened
until it is very slight indeed. To say Yes or
NO is a very simple trick, and yet there is
none that shows to better advantage. Of course
when horse has thoroughly learned to obey
the signals, you can ask him some questions
and then, by the motion Of your hand, make him
say Yes or NO" as you please.

SEATTLE, (Wash), July 15.-Harry
Tracy, convict, murdered and despera-
do, told the truth when he said he had
killed Dave Merrill For two weeks
the body of Merrill has been lying be-
hind a log on the side of a road little
used, where it was pitched head first
by his -bloOded companion and left
to rot. on an undertaker's slab at
Chehalis it now lies, with a bullet
through the back, while the man who
shot him, and with whom he shared the
hardships of being pursued by men and
dogs, is somewhere to the south of Sc
attic, supposed to be wounded, but Sc
curely hidden from the men who are
seeking his destruction
There is little doubt that Merrill was
shot down from behind by Tracy, and
was afterward shot twice as he lay on
the ground. The fact that Tracey es-
capped without a scratch makes his
story of a duel in the woods seem i'm
probable for Merrill, too, was handy
with weapons, and would have been
likely to leave his mark on Tracy in a
fight of that kind.
Thrown over log, head first, just Oft
a road almost abandoned, the head
buried and the hands and feet spread
out and sticking up, the body of Dave
Merrill was found Monday morning,
four'miles southeast of Chehalis.
Since coming into the vicinity of
Seattle Tracy has al along claimed
that he shot and killed Merrill in a
duel in the woods His story was be-
lieVed by some, but by sothers it was
thought to be mere braggadoCiO on his
part. The finding of Merrills body
confirms his statement, so far as the
killing is concerned. The body was
found within 200 yards of the main
line of the Northern Pacific Railway
II was thrown behind an old log when
lies alongside the road, and looks as
if it had been pitched over head first.
Merrills body fell on some brush be-
hind the log, and the murderer piled
more brush over the form of his COM
paniOn in crime to help conceal the
body from passers-by.
On the road, within a few feet Of the
log behind which the body Of the muir
dered convict was thrown, two 1920
calibre cartridges were found, and
eighteen or twenty PAGES to the north
another was found. About midway be-
tween where the cartridges were found
stands a small cedar tree and the
theory is that Tracy shot his compan-
ion from behind the tree, and after Mer-
rill had fallen, advanced and shot him
twice more, making sure work of the
man who had braVed with him the
dangers of breaking out of the Oregon
penitentiary and had been his constant
companion during the chase by the
Oregon authorities.
The murder is supposed to have taken
place about o'clock Saturday morn
ing, June 28th The body when found
was badly decomposed. 1t is impossi-
bic to recognize the features, but the
scars on the hands and foot and knee
Of Merrill are found upon this body. Ben
Merrill, brother of the convict, is now
working in a livery stable i'm Chehalls,
and he is satisfied that the body is that
Of his brother.
