capped with some bruises. The animals
both belong to DR.. T.. M. Gatchel, who
was driving the horse. AS he reached
the stable the bulldog attacked the
horse for no apparent reason. The
fangs of the dog were fastened deep in
the front leg of the horse and the lat

ceeding. The dog then made second

CELEBRATION OF SILK.
French Scientists Have ID EN- ON st rat d
That Natural Product Can BE
Controlled ArtificialIy.

Silk is known to be the secretion of
two glands of the silkworm alongside
of the digestive canal. These glands,
which consist of tubes in numerous
coils, terminate in the spinning-wart,
and open in common orifice from
which the secretion, of the consisten-
cy of honey, issues forth, promptly
hardening into thread on exposure
to the air. Usually the silk is colorless
on leaving the body of the silllworm,
but sometimes it is straw yellow or
greenish. There has been a dispute of
long standing between the savants as
regards the origin of this coloration
Some claimed that the larva itself
produced the color, others ascribed it
to impurities which it acquired upon
secretion, and still others were of the
opinion that the green color of the
leaves of the mulberry tree was the
cause of the coloring. The last-named
opinion seems TO be the correct one
Latterly, Levrat and Conte fed silk
worms on mulberry leaves which had
been saturated with non-poisonous
aniline red and aniline blue. The re-
suit was that not only the silkworms
turned red or blue, but they also Sc
creted silk of the respective colors.
injections of the above-named dye
stuffs into the anal organ of the silk
worm produced the same result.-Die

TWO Bathers E1ectrocuted.

In recent English accident swo
bathers were electrocuted by an alter
mating current of 200 volts, by which
the baths were lighted. A report of
the investigation that followed states
that with dry skin the resistance Of
the human body between tinger-tip
and tinger-tip is about 10000 ohms, and
a pressure of 1000 volts is necessity to
send one-ffth ampere through il, yet
a touch at 1000 volts with wet skin
is likely to be fatal. With dry hands
the poles of an alternating current of
200 volts could be grasped with only a
painful shock, this being abons the
limit of shocks given for amusement
at fairs. The current is about one
two hundredth ampere. With wet skin
the resistance would probably be less
than 1000 ohms, and at 200 volts the
current passed would exceed one-6fth

Croker an expert. Mr.. Meyer is; but

1t was Mayor Grant who made Gro

though a Tammany man, he is a
"swell." He participated a few weeks
ago in the horse dinner, where noted
equestrians dined in the saddle at
Sherry's.
Croker was poor in those days.
Scandal came upon Grants admins

THE DOG WHO TALKED.
His Eyes, Ears, Tail and Mouth Helped
in Carrying On an Intelligent
COnversatiOn.

When two years old Ben was noted
for intelligence and industry. One of
the herders remarked of him, one day,
that he could do anything except talk.
Moss became indignant.
Anything except talk" he retort-
ed. He can talk. Why, we do a lot
OF talking on the prairie. He talks with
his eyes, with his ears, with his tail,
sometimes with his mouth"
The others laughed at this, but it
was true. The man and the dog, in
the hours of watching the sheep graz
ing, held lengthy conversations, Moss
sitting with his back against big
gray rock, Ben with his head upon the
mans knees.
Feeling all right to-day?" Moss
would ask.

''Down by Mustang Water-hole saw

Good boy, Ben! You're not afraid

got more sense than the ranch boss"
Thiswas praise that could be answered
only by a series of rapid leaps, a dozen
short barks, and tremendous scurry-
ing round and round. Then Ben would

real estate operators go into con-
tractlng; sometimes they combine
the jobs. 1t is said that one. year
when money was coming in slowly
McQuade gave $4,000 of his own
funds to the campaign. Ten per cent.
OF every Tammany salary, civil serv-
ice reform or not, was the rule when
Van Wyck was mayor. Then there
were fat checks from great street
car corporations, whose managers
prefer Iammany men to deal with
from office-seekers, from rich men
with ambitions.
McQuade is dead; long live Pat
keenan,, new treasurer, or Wiskinskie,
as it is called in the Indian term! He
is silent, shaver man, with twin
kle in his eye and reputation for
keeping his word.
On the afternoon before election
next November Mr.. keenan, will
go to Tam1nany Hall with
neat bag of money, divided into
small bills. There will be SO
packages, approximately about equal,
though in hotly contested districts
little greater generosity may be
shown. The district leaders will all
be there, 36 of them. To each
brawny fellow, grizzled by years and
contests. a package will be handed.
1t is his duty to divide it among his
captains. He is held responsible for
results.
1t is wonderful system. If so
marvellous machine as Tammany
were to devote it's energies to work
in Office as fine as that done to get
Office no party could GUST it from
power for years. Perhaps it is as well
that men are finite and run to spe-
cialties.

to the other of the window. This.
of course, would open up strip the
entire length of the window, and If
any air was stirring it would find its
way into the room. To embrace this
feature the awning frame which car
ries the cloth shade must consist of
pair of bows, pivoted to central
support and having ropes to connect
the ends of the bows with the usual
brackets on the window frame, from
which rods also project to the cen

point. il is obvious that by adjust
ing the ropes on either side the avn
ing is pulled around toward either
right or left, as desired. To fold the

rope will elevate the bow and slides
