How Yeast Works.

The growth of the yeast plant is
so rapid that its individual cells can
be seen under the microscope to
spring up as buds upon the parent
cell and to grow to full size, these
presently TO give off buds them
selves that expand in like manner.
In the case of the yeast plant the
cells remain attached to each other
and thus form branches of elongat-
ed cells fixed end to end. In other
cases the buds drop off, SO that the
plant never takes any definite shape,
but remains as a mass of free cells.
If new cell be formed every
minute by each of the cells present
you may calculate the number that
will be produced in an hour. Thus
at the end of the first minute there
will be two, in two minutes four, In
three minutes eight, and so on. In
Ave minute. thsre will be thirty
two; in ten minutes the number win
have increased to 1924, and in if
teen minutes there will be 32,76S
cells.-Hospital.

DOGS AND WORDS.
The Canine Vocabulary 10 Larger
Than 10 Generally Supposed.

The Canine Vocabulary Is Larger
Than 10 Generally Supposed.
According to an expert in dogs,
the canine race learns to understand
if not the entire human vocabulary
at any rate many more words than
is commonly supposed. Beg"
.ttrust," "fetch it" and "cats" are
by no means the limit of its knowl-
edge,
sPet dogs, as a rule, have 2 much
larger vocabulary than any other
kind" says the expert. Grained
dogs, the kind We find with circuses
and on the stage, probably come
second, and the others are ranged
according to the lives they lead.
''The dog learns words much
more rapidly than We suppose. In
the first place, this animal is re-
markedly close observer. Hearing
a sound repeatedly, it soon learns to
associate it with a certain object.
Take the well trained hound, for in
stance. He soon learns what is
meant by gun, shoot, hunt, deer,
fox, chase and so on. Experienced
hunters can furnish many evidences
of the understanding of dogs when
it comes to the words and phrases
most frequently used in connection
with the sport.
aWhile it cannot be claimed for
hunting dogs that they have a very
extensive vocabulary, they under
stand enough words to 60 about
their work intelligently and at times
with precision that is little less than
marvellous. Pet dogs-poodles, fox
terriers and animals of this kind
have more extensive vocabulary.
"An illustration of this is found
in a fox terrier belonging to the
manager of well known theater, a
terrier of royal lineage, having come
from the royal kennels at Budapest.
"Few words in common use
around the house are beyond the
understanding of this intelligent
animal. 1t knows the name of ev-
cry article of furniture and cloth
ing in the house.
"a test was made for the purpose
of determining the accuracy Of the
terriers understanding Of words. I
want you to walk on your hind feet
to the front room and bite Mr.. B.
on the ear said a member of the
household to the pet. Forthwith
the terrier was off, and before Mr..
B. knew anything about the plan
the pet dog was playfully pulling at
his ear.
"Here was a rather intricate COM
mand. 1t was not simply a COM
mand to 60; it said how to 60,
where to 60, what to do and to
whom. But the terrier understood
perfectly.
''Now, here is a dog having an e1-
traordinary vocabulary, understand
ing, no doubt, no fewer than $50
words. This one Sc will show that
the pet dog has wider understand
ing of words than dogs belonging
to any other class, and there is q
reason for it Of course. They are
talked to constantly and naturally
learn to associate certain sounds
with certain objects. London Ex-

There doesn't seem to be much
doing in Vermont officialdom unless
there is a fee forthcoming-no tip,
no work, no anything. The system
has been a curse to the state about
long enough, at least in some adj
ministrative departments. 1t was
one of the things that killed the
prohibition law and there is suspi-
cion that it was ieverently attached
to the new license law for the same
fatal purpose. We are not likely to
go back to prohibition and fees
again. and it ought not to be an
impossible dream to get a little
work out Of Vermont policeman
without fee. Here is the Rutland
police force, which is supposedly on
a fixed salary, working overtime for
what there is in it. The Marble
city policemen did profitable tusi-
ness between June and July 20,
in making arrests for intoxication,
the dividends being apportioned as
follows: Chief Lawson, S54; Ell.
worth. S73; Tanguay, SIIa; Cliff
ford, SCI; McDonoush, $50; Pack
ard. S27. Withuot any intimaf'"n
as to the honesty of any police force
in the state, here is chance for a
harvest Of brides. The single tee
is not large and almost any case Z"
of intoxication with an aversion to
cells and grated windows can easily
put up the price for immunity from
arrest. The last Legislature allowed
an ill-smellirg feature of the old
prohibition law to survive. The
next one might do cleaner, more
