the somewhat select national council,
the great mass OF the $4,000 teachers

personally participate in the meet
ings in which they are particularly
interested. No less than eight OF the
city's largest auditOriumS were
crowded to the doors, as many Sec

specialist in education. Altogether,
upward OF sixty formal papers were
delivered. In the evening the general
session OF the convention formed the
climax Of the day and Mechanics

Wonderful Sense OF Smell In Dogs.

1t has often been proved that dogs
are able to track their masters through
crowded streets, where tt would be
impossible to attribute their accuracy
to anything except the sense of smell
alone. Mr.. Romanes, the naturalist,
once made some interesting expert
ments RS to this wonderful power as
exhibited IN his own dog In these tests
the naturalist found that his dumb.
friend could easily follow in the tracks
of his master, though he Was far out
of sight and that, too, after no less
than eleven persons had followed, step
ping exactly in the tracks made by Mr..
Romanes, it being the deliberate inten-
ton to confuse the senses of the Door
dog if possible. Further experiment
proved that the animal tracked the
boots instead of the man, for when Mr..
Romanes put on new footgear the dog
failed entirely.

FAT INDIANS FOR sAIvE.


London Truth publishes an extract
from . letter from Hindoo gentle
man, said to be Of good standing and
repute, which furnishes q curious IL
lustration Of oriental credulity, and
incidentally Of the important part
which rumor might play among the
Indian masses should they become dis
affected. The writer says: I'VE are
having awfully serious news circu, tied
in the papers here. Extracts pvrport-
ed to be from the Morning Leader Of
London and La Bon Guondia Of opl.n
impress us that the emperor on the
coronation dag was dangerously i'll,
and was never really crowned, for the
ministers caused him to be imperson-
ated by q beggar.of Whitechapel. We
are really very concerned to hear it,
and we firmly believe the news to be q
false creation, but wonder why the
government is still inactive as regard
to taking any steps to punish the au-
thor of so foul a calumny." Other in
stances of this ready credulity are
quoted in Truth When the jubilee
bridge over the Hooghly was being
built there was story that the gov
ernment required thousand heads Of
natives for the foundations Of the
bridge, and had given orders that all
natives walking over the maidan after
dark were to be seized and taken to
the "Shaitan Khana"- -the native name
for the masonic lodge where their
heads were to be cut off for use in this
engineering operation The natives
were soon afraid to walk in that direc- |
ton after dark. Again, at the time Of |
the last Indian frontier war, a fat |
Babu clerk disappeared from one OF |
the government Offices and could not |
be found. The report was then cir
'uiated by his fellow clerks and neigh
oors that he had been seized by ordef
II the government. TO be made into
ointment for the benefit Of the wound

urned up safe and sound before any
