THE BATTLE OF MONMOUTH.
Patriotic Celebration of Its Anniver-
sary In Freehold, n. j.

Patriotic Cefe bration of Its Anniver-
sary In Freehold, n. J.
Freehold, N. j., recently approprt-
ately observed the anniversary Of the
battle of Monmouth. Patriotic citi-
zens from all of the Eastern States,
prominent government and New Jer-
sey State officials and troops Of militia
lent dignity to the celebration. A cen
tury and a quarter have passed away
since that memorable day when Wash
ington checked the disgraceful retreat
of the troops under Maj. Gen. Lee,
turning defeat into victory, and brave
Molly Pitcher performed the heroic
deed which won for her undying fame
and enshrined her name in the heart
Of every American citizen.

first engagement of Importance which
the troops under Washington fought

Teaching a Dog TO Read.

The intelligence of animals seems,
as rule, to be underrated rather than
overrated. A dog breeder described
the other day wonderful collie that
had belonged to Sir John Lubbock.
'.This. dog" he said, "would, when it
was hungry, lay at it's masters feet
card marked food When it was
thirsty it would fetch a card marked
drink When it wanted to take
walk it would bring a card, marked
out Sir John Lubbock trained it to
do this trick in less than a month
He put the food card over the dogs
food and made 1t bring the card to him
before he would allow 1t to eat, and in
the matter of drinking and going out
he used a like method. The cards
were similar in shape and color; moth
ing but the writing on them differed.
Since, therefore, the dog distinguished
them by the writing alone, it, may.
truly be said that the animal could
read"

The Sultan of Turkey requires that
all state documents and papers intend
ed for his perusal shall first pass
through a careful process of disinfec-
ton.
A curious sight in the streets of To-
kio is to see an old man seated on
smooth piece of ground having round
him little piles of sand of different col
ors, red, blue. yellow, black, etc. Plac-
ing a pinch from each pile in his right
hand, he will draw on the smooth
ground the figure of man or woman,
the dress all properly colored by the
sand trickling through his fingers. 1t
is done with great rapidity and shows
remarkable dexterity.
An indication. of a new tendency in
scientific study is furnished by the
plan of the Geographical Society of
Baltimore to send to the Bahama ISL
ands a ship carrying a staff of fifty
persons, who will study the geology,
geography, botany. zoology. climatol
ogy, physics and medical and hygienic
conditions of those islands. The ship.
specially chartered for the purpose,
will be fitted and equipped as the home
and laboratory of the party during the
entire trip.
Accounts of early writer's show that
squirrels must formerly have been
amazingly numerous. Golman says
that the gray coat was a fearful
scourge to the Colonial farmers and
that Pennsylvania paid $4,000 in boun-
ties for their scalps in 1749 alone. This
meant the destruction of $4,000 with
in a comparatively small district. In
the early days of Western settlement
regular hunts were organized by the
inhabitants, who would range the
woods in two companies from morning
till night, vying as to which band

killed are almost incredible now.
An African chiefs umbrella Is Of
greater Importance than many people
imagine, apart from its enormous size.
It's loss in battle more than equals the
loss Of a standard of a European COM
mander Some Of the umbrellas are of
prodigious dimensions, being no less
than 25 feet in diameter, with ribs
- feet inches long. They are made
of lancewood, and the covering Is Of
gorgeously colored chintz, in varied
sections of crimson, yellow and blue.
The opening is performed by means Of
pulleys and ropes attached to the run
ner," this operation requiring the serv-
ices Of three or four men. The pole,
or handle, is of birch, and is about IA
or Is feet high.
A new method Of discovering beds Of
ore hidden underground, in which elec-
tricity serves for a detective, Is said
to have met with some success in
Wales and in Cornwall. A current Of
high potential-3O,OO0 or more volts
Is led to two metal rods set in the
ground. From these. lines Of force
spread in all directions. and can be de-
tected by means of telephone receiv-
er connected with another pair of
metal rods, which may be placed in
any desired position. When no sounds,
or only very faint ones, are heard, that
fact indicates a detection of the lines
of force, and by shifting the place of
the rods the location of the metallic
masses which produce the detection
can be determined.
