USE OF DOGS IN WAR.
Important Factors in Military Affairs
in Dark Ages.

From Leslle's Weekly
The use of dogs in the Japanese-R Russian
war, which attracted much attention. was
really nothing new Far back in the an
tiquities dogs were employed In military
operations with great success The acute
ness of the animals senses, his affection
for his master. his docility and Intelligence
made him valuable centuries ago in both
defense and attack
In the dark ages dogs were often posted
in towers to warn the garrison Of the enc
my's approach. and were even clad In ar
NOR TO guard military camps. They were
frequently used to defend conveys and lug
gage and to bring confusion In the ranks
of the enemy's cavalry. Even fires were
placed on the dogs backs to set fire to the
enernys camps.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth century sew
eral military powers had enormous packs OF
dogs, and 1t was not uncommon for the ami
mails TO meet in skirmishes and between
themselves fight out big battles Napoleon.
In his Italian campaign, used dogs as
scouts, and in 1882 the Austrians trained
dogs to scent ambushes.
More recently the Germans have been
training and experimenting with dogs. while
Italy, Russia and France have also taken
them up. OF the European powers only
England has left dogs entirely out OF CON
sideration In military affairs
&AllHousu chaNBes IN warfare have greatly
lessened the opportunity for employing dogs
they still may be used to advantage in many
ways In military operations. In modern
campaigns the night attack appears to be
taking foremost place, and here especially
the dog can play an important part for he

vent complete surprise. In foggy weather
or in thickets well-trained dogs can be used
where signal systems cannot be operated
although the use of telephones has nearly
crowded the animal out OF this branch Of
warfare. Dogs an auxiliary to ambu-
lances are a great aid in locating wounded
soldiers. In the Franco-German war the
dog played an important part in this work
of saving the wounded from dying alone.

In marches the dog can be used effectively
as q scout for the body of troops to which
he is attached, and might often prevent a
detachment from being ambushed. The ami

The Roof-Cured Babies.
From tie New York Globe.


The newly discovered roof cure for
pneumonia which the Presbyterian Hospital
is said to be applying to its SEX babies is
not new as one might at first imagine.
1t is simply variant of the general belief
always held by physicians that good air Is
healthy and bad air unwholesome. House
room or hospltal-ward air which the doc
tors for many years supposed to be suffi-
GENTLY clean. is now known to be nothing
more than sort of lung cesspool even with
fairly good yentilation; so that Ii the con-
clusion is warranted (as 1t Isl that even a
healthy man requires a certain amount of
outdoor air to remain healthy how much
more essential must such clean lung food
be to the man or child with a crippled
respiratory tract.
For the last fifty years considera BILE
number of physicians have been constantly
booming the virtues of fresh air, not only
as a medicine, but even more as pre-
ventive of disease in the healthy. This
finally eliminated some years ago In the
so-calied open-air treatment of consump-
ton, of which 1t Is worth noting, however,
fresh. clean air is but part. Fresh air is
no more of a specific for any disease than
is clean water. Both promote health, and
help to obtain a cure In case of disease.
They are, however, simple matters OF hy-
giene, and not drugs in any sense of the
word.
There is no systematic disease which Is
not in some degree benefited by fresh air
from typhoid fever TO tuberculosis and no
disease which can be cured by fresh air
alone There is little doubt that If all the
hospital patients In all the city hospitals

the roof they would get well more rapidly
than if kept In the Usual wards To this
general therapeutic effect rather than to
any specific action on pneumonia must, 1t
seems probable, be attributed the success

Il am profoundly touched by the cor

knowing that l will be sustained in my task

words committed the executive functions

in carrying them out. NM. Fallieres and
Loubet both wore evening dress, with the
broad scarlet sashes of the Grand Cross OF
the Legion of Honor across their breasts.
The presence of their military staffs in full
uniform gave a touch of brilliancy to the
scene within the palace, while the escorts
of cuirassiers which accompanied NM. Fal-
Heres and Loubet to and from the palace
gave fitting dignity to the occasion.
