and the Pacific by days instead OF

into a corporate nation which super
seeded the disconnected federation of
States having little in common.
Surely some prophetic vision must
have illumined Peter Cooper's eye, else
one would look in vain for an elucida-
ton of the reasons that prompted the
merchant prince and philanthropist,
neither mechanic nor inventor. to
espouse the cause Of an invention which
the most expert opinion Of the period
pronounced valueless.
Not alone, however, in the increased
size of the locomotive, nor its larger
carrying capacity. or its swifter speed,
is the story of the remarkable develop
ment unfolded.
No less marvellous is the varied serv-
ice that endows the train equipment Of
to-day. Thus, there are four entirely
different types Of locomotives, and
these, in turn, are subdivided into num-
berless classifications, according to the
number Of driving wheels, pilot wheels
and trailers.
There are fairly countless varieties
Of cars; under freight cars there are
box cars, fiat cars, tank cars, cattle
cars, refrigerator cars. and many
others, each rated in order to it's capa-
city.
Tiny Tom Thumbs descendants have
outgrown their forefather's dwarfdom,
and are a mighty, teeming race Of
Goliaths. There are now we'll nigh fifty
thousand locomotives in the United
States, all Of them busy, cOursing over
the 2139O4 miles Of track which have
been laid to satisfy the growing de-
mand for railway communication. Over
these tracks last year were hauled, as
nearly as the combined available re-
ports of the railroads indicate, a mat
ter Of 750,OOO,OOO passengers and L.
100000 net pounds Of freight Such Is
the great oak that grew from Peter
COoper's little acOrn-a marvel of
figures that might stagger the belief of
the most visionary of dreamers in
Cooper's day, and which convey in
their unadorned fact livelier picture
Of progress than could be painted BY
the most talented of brushes.

THE USE OF DOGS IN WAR.
Important Factors in Military ARairs
In Dark Ages.

Important Factors in Military A fRaira
In Dark Ages.
The use of dogs In the japanese
Russian war, which attracted much
attention, was really nothing new, says
Leslie's Weekly. Far back in the an
tiquities dogs were employed in mill
tary operations with great success.
The acutenesS of the animals senses,
his affection for his master, his dOcil-
ity and intelligence made him valuable
centuries ago, both in defense and at
tack.
In the dark ages dogs were often
posted in towers to warn the garrison
of the enemy's approach, and were even
clad in armor to guard military camps.
They were frequently used to defend
conveys and luggage and to bring con-
fusion to the ranks of the enemy's
cavalry. Even fires were placed on the
dogs backs to set fire to the enemy's
camps.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turtles several military powers had
enormous packs of dogs and it was not
uncommon for the animals 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 Eu-
ropean powers only England has left
dogs entirely out of consideration in
military affairs.
Although changes in warfare have
greatly lessened the opportunity for
employing dogs they still may be used
to advantage in many ways In mill
the night attack appears to be taking
a foremost place. and here especially
the dog can play an important part,
for he can detect an approaching party
and prevent complete surprise. In
foggy weather or In thickets we'll
trained dogs can be used where sig
nal systems cannot be operated. al
though the use of telephones has near
" crowded the animal out Of this
branch of warfare. Dogs as an auxil-
larry to ambulances are a great aid In
locating wounded soldiers. In the
Franco-G German war the dog played an
imnOrtant mart in the work of saw
ing the wounded from dying alone, out
of reach of medical assistance.
In marches the dog can be used ef-
fectivesy as a scout for the body of
troops to which he is attached, and
might often prevent a detachment from
being ambushed. The animal has also
been used to transport ammunition and
to carry relief to the wounded. while
in many other ways his warrior-mas-
ter has made use Of the dogs keen
sense and docility.

MASCULINE MIND is MINOR.

Wife Has to Explain How SheKnOws
When the Clock Stopped.
A Kansas City woman tells this story
on her husband to demonstrate the In
feriority of the masculine mind.
One morning as her husband was sit
ting down to the breakfast table he
glanced at the dining room clock and
said: I'VE must be later than usual
this morning"
Don't place too much confidence In
that clock. 1t stopped at 5 o'clock this
morning, and just set it going by

the husband.

man, with puzzled look, "how In
thunder do you know when the clock
stoppedY
"Why, dear, 1t stayed stopped" was
the reply. The man did not say anoth-
er word that morning.-Kansas City

praised a man except for what was
in him." and the habit Of judging d.
rectly and without regard to sur
roundings has always been an instinct
of the race. All those evidences of
worldly prosperity and success which
turn the heart Of the Anglo-Saxon to

The Arab Is an artist in manners. I
remember a certain sheik, who was
once my travelling companion on the
Upper Nile, a tall, lean, keen-faced
man, Of a complexion almost black,
with a glitter on it like the sun polish
on desert stones, who walked among
the fellahs on the crowded deck like
q chief among his slaves.
With him 1 shared the same narrow
corner Of the deck. He was strict in
his religious observances, and at the
appointed hours would spread his mat
on the deck, turn in the supposed d.
rection Of Mecca, and then kneel and
rise and kneel again. bowling with his
forehead to the ground in the fmpos-

he would treasure up the courtesy,
and when his prayers were over, turn
and acknowledge it with a grave ges-
ture and a smile that seemed no con-
ventional grimace, but. expressed the
intention Of deliberate friendliness.

WILL GOLF
AT HALE!WA

Another of the interesting golf tour
naments for the White Rock golf tro-
ply will take place on Sunday next at
Haleiwa. These Journeys always pro-
duce good sport and the coming one
promises to be no exception.
The competitions for the cup take
place alternately in Honolulu and at
Waialua, the trophy going to the player
who first wins tournament on each of
the three courses.
The tournaments at Waialua are al
ways well entered for; the day out of
town and the change of air forming
strong inducements to play golf on the
Haleiwa links.
The entry list for Sunday contains
the names of the best opponents of the
game in the Territory Prince KuhiO

the practice received on the Washing

GRABBING Is
GOOD SPORT

Crab-fishing, at Kalihi and Moanalua
these days from both haoles and natives
and good catches have of late been
the rule.
The crabber procures a barrel-hoop
and covers it with inch-mesh netting.
Line is tied at four places round the
hoop, joining the main line. At the
junction a piece of meat is fastened
The net is thrown into the water and
pulled up every minute or so. The
crabs on losing their hold on the bait
drop into the net from which they are
easily taken out by hand and placed
in sack.
The time to fish for crabs is Just
when the tide is making. On the first
of the flood the crabs come shoreward
by the thousands over the mud flats,
devouring greedily anything that comes
in their path. Toward high-water
time they won't take hold of the bait
at all and on the ebb nothing is do
ing for the patient fisherman.
The crabs are very fat as a rule and
as an article of diet are greatly priced
by the natives and Orienta1s, who fish
for them day after day. 1t is not an
unusual thing to see a crabber oper-
ating from one to a dozen nets when
the crustaceans are moving freely
The native fisherman often wades
out and fishes with a piece of meat
tied to a string in one hand and a net
with handle in the other. The crab
will cling to the bait until it reaches
the surface and is then easily netted.
Half a sack of crabs is not an I'M
usual bag for a good day.
