TT HE dogs of war; have ceased to
be a mere poetical expression,
for in the present struggle in the
far east they are being used both as
scouts and hospital aids. AS new
ideas are put into use there naturally
follows a more varied specialization OF
dogs. Nearly all of the armies of the
world now use bicycles, and SO a dog
has been trained in Germany to at
tack cyclists. Here is shown the pic
ture of a Great Dane trained to an
astonishing proficiency in overtaking
and overcoming the soldier on the BIZ
cycle, usually dispatch bearer. Ma

one of the fastastic tricks which
lightning plays upon its unfortunate
victims is a kind Of nashlight photog-
raphy. There are numerous instan-
ces of this which are more or less
authenticated" but they seem almost
too wonderful to be believed. One of
these is of a young man i'm New Jersey
who was struck by lightning and was
taken in an ambulance to the hospital
at once. There seemed to be no wound
except small mark on the back, but
while the doctors and nurses were ex-
aminlng him a picture began to develop
on the skin. Soon before the won
dering eyes of the watchers appeared
a perfect picture of the figure of Christ
nailed to the cross. The explanation
Is that on the wall opposite the bed Oil
which the young man lay was the plct-
ure which was reproduced on his skin.
Another instance is of a man who
was struck by lightning, and on his
chest were red marks resembling the
tree with all Its branches under which
the man was standing when he was

of a peasant girl who was driving
a COW from the pasture when she
was overtaken by a storm, and she
and the COW took refuge under tree
A bolt killed the COW and stunned the'
girl. When she recovered conscious
ress she found on her chest picture
of the COW she had been driving.
The chateaine Of the castle of Bena-
tonnaire was sitting in chair in her
salon when the chateau was struck by
lightning. She was quite uninjured
but on the back of her dress was found
a perfect copy of the chair on which
she had been sitting, down to its minut-
est ornament. These are few of the
many strange pranks which lightning
plays upon us.

THERE is in process of construction
across the United States ship canal
at Duluth Mimi, bridge which
will be the first of its kind in the
United States. This aerial bridge when
completed will be an imposing struc-
ture From the lowest point of the
trusswork it is 1856 feet to the water
line and 1856 feet from the highest point
to the water line. The distance spanned
is 3S1 feet 6 inches. The car, which
will be suspended from the truss by
stiff cables, will be IL feet above the
water line when in motion. The size
of the car is 30x50 feet and it's capacity
65 tons. The cost of this bridge will be
about $10S,0O0 and the annual cost of
maintenance will be about $4,000. The
bridge is built to Withstand wind We
locity of seventy miles an hour. 1t was
built in accordance with an agreement
for free ferry service made by the city

BEGINNING OF A RAILWAY GUIDE

It is just sixty-nve years ago since
George Bradshaw, the Quaker engraver
and map maker Of Manchester. was
FIRST inspired to publish his Time
Table" 1t was tiny pamphlet bound
in green cloth, and was nothing more
than a collection Of the monthly time
tables issued by tho seven railway
companies then in existence in Eng
land. OF this volume there are now
only four copies in existence. but they
are worth their weight in gold.
These early railway guides make
interesting reading. The trains are
described az first class, second class,
mixed. fast and mall. Third class
travellers had the choice OF sitting on
the roofs or in open wagons resembling
cattle trucks. Gentlemen riding in
their own carriages were charged sec
ond class fare Baggage was carried
on the roof, and passengers who sat
there were cautioned to wear their
oveTcoats and provide themselves with
gauze spectacles. First class fare be-
tween London and Birmingham was
nearly double what 1t is today, and an
annual subscription ticket from Lon
don to Brighton and back cost e100.

duit system. The wireless trolley does
away with all these features and is
therefore much safer as well as vastly
cheaper to install and operate. The
power in this wireless system is sup
piled by the little metal buttons which
may be seen scattered along in the
middle of the track. These are con.
nected by a wire which runs an inch
or SO below the surface. The but
tons are dead and therefore absolutely
harmless until powerful magnet car
ried beneath the trolley car touches
them, when q connection beneath them
is closed and the car picks up the nee
essary current. The instant the car
has passed the armature drops back
and the track is once more electri-
cally, dead. The wireless trolley is the
invention of Leon, w. Pullen, of Phila-
delphia. The. photograph accompany-
ing was taken of the section of the
wireless trolley track which has been
running successfully at Atlantic City,
New Jersy, for upward of year under
all sorts of conditions.

NEW DRINK CURE

The authorities In Norway haze dis
covered q novel way of curing drunk
enness. The patient" is placed under
lock and key, and his nourishment
consists in great part of bread soaked
in port wine. The first day the drunk
and eats his food with pleasure, and
On the third day he finds that it Is very
monotonous, ON the fourth day he be-
comes impatient and at the end of
eight days he receives the wine with
horror 1t seems that the disgust in
creases and that this cure gives good
results.

An ingenious lock, which has just
been patented, has the keyhole in
the knob or handle of the door. The
mechanism of the lock is so constructed
that a person on the inside of the door
can by turning the knob in one direc-
tion lock the door SO that 1t cannot
be opened, even by key, on the out
side. BY turning the knob in the op-
posite direction the door is locked, but
can be opened on the outside by the
use of key designed to fit the lock.

IT HESE Cayuse Indian babies are
the only I'iiian twins living, as
it is the custom to kill twins az
soon as they are born because it is

names of these interesting little pa

They were born at Mckay Creek, in

In addition, small barrels were fasten-

the purpose of these dogs to precede

constantly brought in by the search

tribe was to be carried out; but being
an orator of no mean parts the young
father addressed the members of his
tribe when assembled. He told them
with eloquence that while far away in
the forest hunting deer he had had a
vision in which he had been told that
twin girls were to be born to him, and
that they were to stand as a good
omen to the whole tribe. He touched
the right chord and the twins live and
flourish. The photograph was taken
by Major Lee Moorehouse.
