TEACHING DOGS TO
 RETRIEVE

A FEW practical words to you boys 4A and girls about teaching your dogs
 to retrieve. which is something all wish their dogs to learn.
 Begin when they are pups. Almost any dog, of course, will chase a ball and easily acquire the habit of fetch ing 1t for his master.
 Next he must learn to fetch game.
 IT the first bird he brings in shows the marks of his teeth, he has held 1t 100 tight in his mouth--a bad habit to form. Don't let him form it. Teach him better at once by giving him for, his next fetching exercise ball of yarn wound over pins in such a way that on the least undue pressure the points will prick his mouth.
 After few runs after the. ball. your dog will have learned for good and all to mouth any object with great caution and delicacy: therefore your birds will be safe.
 If for any reason, however. he needs further discipline, arrange pins in a skinned bird. pasting some feathers over them, so that here. too, the dog win feel the pin. points if he mouths loo hard.
 Keep this discipline up till you are certain that this time he has thorough ly learned his lesson. E. For the words of command to keach a pointer or setter in the hunt, consult any hunter of your acquaintance.

 you will be able to follow the directions for a homemade one that will give you hours of fun to pay you for your trouble.
 American originally, but as described here is somewhat, simpllfed so as to be practicable for you.
 Take an ordinary packing box made of wood, about the size of the box part of the usual magic lantern, a kerosene oil lamp with an Argand burner Cor a. Welsbach Nburner,. and rubber tube for attachment to the nearest gas connec- tion), a small fish globe and a burning magnifying glass Common double or plano-convex lens). M
 Cut round hole, in one end of the box, large enough to admit part of the globe (which you must suspend on the Inside from the top of inc box1- Close behind the globe set the kerosene lamp.
 Next make a strong solution of corn mon table salt, and with it moisten a piece of common window glass Stand the glass up vertically in front of the box exactly on 2 level with the globe partially protruding through the hole in
 Try the light from your burner m, ,t to see if 1t is properly focused on the glass by the globe.
 Now set up screen or curtain unon which you wish to cast pictures. Re- tween it and the piece of window glass place your reading glass in such posi- ton that the rays of light are foctfsed through 1t upon the screen.
 When everything is in correct nosi. tion, you will find the salt solution on the window glass crystallizing. each group of crystals taking beautifni forms, which will appear on the screen in the shape of beautiful fernlike frees
 By dropping different coiors into, fhe water with which the globe shouIa bs filled. you can cause the pictures on the screen to take different colors. " - You can keep the panorama going .oy indefinitely by renewing the anplication of salt solution to the glass.
