residence although separated from the
doctor.
Early on Saturday DIR. Tucker In.
formed his wife and brotherin-law
that he would take his own life that
day unless his wife, who had recently
obtained divorce, agreed to remarry
him.
To prevent him from carrying out
his threat Mrs. Tucker agreed to re.
marry him, then went to call on the
girl and learn just how much justifica.

Dogs That Wear Shoes.

From the New England Farmer.
In Alaska even dogs wear shoes at least
part of the time. 1t is not on account Of
the cold. for a shaggy Esquimau dog will
live and be frisky when a man would freeze
to death! The dog does all the work of
dragging and carrying. which in the coun-
try falls to the horses, and in trotting over
the rough ice Of the mountain passes his
feet soon become bruised and sore. Then
his driver makes him soft little moccasins of
buckskin or reindeer skin, and ties them on
with stout thongs Of leather. In this way
he will travel easily, until his feet are
thoroughly healed up; then he bites and
tears his shoes with his sharp, wol1ike
teeth, and eats them up.
Wonderful animals are these dogs of
Alaska. Although they are only little feb
lows-not more than half the size of big
Newfoundland-they sell from S75 to 500
each, more than an ordinary horse Will sell
for in this country. They will draw 100
pounds each on a sled. and they are usually
driven in teams of six. They need no lines
to guide them. for they readily obey the
sound of their masters voice, turning or
stopping at a word. a
But the Esquimau dogs have their faults.
Like many boys, they are overload Of hav-
ing good things to eat Consequently they
have to be watched closely, or they will att

To a man who knows the caliber and
training of England's garrison in India
the talk of peril from Russian inva-
sion seems absurd. British officers and
native troops alike are receiving the fin
est possible training in the hard school
of the frontier to meet and repel such an
invasion, and they pray daily for it to
happen.
'Huzoor, when are the graycoats COM
ing?"
..Sahib. shall we not fight the Russians
soon?"
These are questions put almost every
day to English officers by their native
troopers. And when native officers dine
with British mess 1t is not at all I'M
usual for one Of them to rise, after the
toast of The King" has been honored,
and drink to the time when the Russians
bring off their long-expected raid.
Brave and clever soldiers, brilliant
diplomatists and administrators, loyal
native princes and religious leaders like
the Aga Khan fearless and accomplished
spies-all combine to safeguard midas
land frontier. Nowhere else Is England
served so well. 1t has been her custom ever
since the great mutiny to send her best
men to India, and the work they find to
their hand to do in that vast empire
brings out the best that Is in them.
India is often spoken of as the Achilles
heel of England-but not by men who
know India and know how she is garri-
soned and guarded. --~- z.

XIII Army by Bolts.

We may really be on the verge OF
the millennium, for NJ. Emile Guar
mini has come to the conclusion that 1t
will soon be possible to destroy armies
by lightning. Receiving a shock from
a wireless telegraph apparatus through
an umbrella, he experimental with
Ruhmkorff coil, and found that
shocks could be transmitted through
the air with moderate currents. He
concludes that the energy OF 1000
horse power, at 100000 volts, could be
concentrated by antennae so as to de-
stroy life at a distance of twelve miles.
The present difficulty, which he be-
neves will be soon overcome, is that OF
controlling and directing the electric
waves.

MANY HOUSES WRECKED.
Property Loss From Tornado Is Est.
mated at $15o,oo0.

st. Louis, Aug. 20-A more thor.
ough estimate of the damage done
by the tornado which descended sud
denly over a small area in North ST.
Louis recently shows that in addition
to the loss of one life and the injury
of more than $50 persons, the damage
wrought by the storm is now estimat-
ed at $3.50, 900 More than half of that
amount was done to manufacturing
plants, the remainder being divided
between owners of residence property,
more than 100 houses being more or
less seriously damaged.
On the east side, in the Illinois
towns of Venice and Granite City, the
damage is also greater than at first
supposed. Two lives were lost in that
vicinity and many property owners
suffered losses running from $4,000 10
$50. Traffic was resumed on the
Broadway car line today after having
been suspended for IS hours, although
the sides of the street are still lined
with wires and telephone cables and
the sidewalks cluttered with broken
telegraph poles and other wreckage.
