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 well nigh fifty
thousand locomotives In the United
States, all Of them busy, coursing over
the 213.904 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 750,000,0O0 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 AHairs
in Dark Ages.

Important Factors In Military Affairs
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
tary 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 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
ly 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 German war the dog played an
important part in the work of saw
ing the wounded from dying alone, out
of reach of medical assistance.
In marches the dog can be used eff
fectiveiy as scout for the body of
troops to which he is attached, and
might often prevent 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.

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
water leave the Arab unmoved.
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 complexion almost black,
with glitter on it like the sun polish
on desert stones, who walked among
the fellahs on the crowded deck like
chief among his slaves.
With him I shared the same narrow
corner Of the deck. He was strict in
his religious obssrvances, 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 impos-
Ing attitudes Of Moslem prayer.
Quick at detecting the least sign Of
consideration or respect, If we stop
ped talking or moved to make room,
he would treasure up the courtesy.

ture and a smile that seemed NO con-

intention of a deliberate friendliness.
