been the custom heretofore.
The commissioner himself made the
trip down the bay to make sure that
the weapons were east into the sea

At the Turn of the Tide.

It was asserted by Aristotle that no
animal dies near the sea except at the
ebbing of the tide This idea in some
form or another has been popular for
centuries.
Such a notion, I find, still exists at
Gravesend. An old salt who used to
sit by a dying man in an ale house on
the shore of the Thames told me he
noticed my patient was always worse
at the turn of the tide, and then got
better after the tide had turned. Read
ers of Dickens cannot forget the ac-
count in David ,Copperfeld" of Mr..
Barkis "going out with the, :tide.' -
According to Aristotle and Mr. Peg
gotty, it is at the ebbing of~the tide
that death always occurs. But at
Gravesend, am told, it does not mat
ter whether the tide is at the ebb or
flow; it is just at the turn Of the tide
that death occurs. II have often seen
it happen, SIR" an old shrimper said
to me quite neutrality-suspicious. in

DOC SOLDIERS UNDER FIRE.
Successful Recent Experiments Made
in the German Army. '

The use of dogs for military pur.
poses has proved SO Successful in Ger
many that the dog soldier is continu-
ally being taught new things. Near
Dresden recently there was test Of
skill which was great revelation of
their accomplishments
Two mocpani5s of soldiers separated
a distance Of mile and quarter, one
OF them, supposed to be an outpost in
the face of an enemy, communicated
for some time by the aid of dogs
trained to go back and forth. Each
time the distance betWeenthe two COM
panles was traversed by the days in
less than two minutes, in spite of in
tense heat and a great deal of con-
fusing firing.
The special object of the use Of
these fast dogs is to enable detach-
ments OF inform themselves of the
speed at which the enemy is approach
ing and SO to maintain a position up
to the last moment practicable.
On the same occasion the cartridge
dogs performed their peculiar duty,
wrlch is to supply the troops with
cartridges during rapid fusillade.
Each dog wears kind Of pack saddle
which carries 800 cartridges. With
this load he travels up and down the
line of men, who help themselves to
cartridges as they have need.
AS soon as the pack saddle is empty
the dog, at command, makes off at
full sleed to get it replenished.
Every one has heard of the dogs Of
the "pious monks of st. Bernard" :"
which are supposed to have a sort Of
monopoly OF the accomplishment Of
serving the wounded and helpless and
calling assistance for them. But the
German military hive dogs trained to
search out and attend the wounded
and call human assistance.
These dogs of the ambulance corps
are trained to divided duties. Some Of
them, carrying a little fash of water
or restorative, simply sit and bark or
bay near the body OF a fallen man.
Others have been trained to 60 in
search OF assistance and guide sol.
der of the ambulance corps.
The trained dogs performed all
these functions very skihfally at the
recent trial near Dresden. 1t is plain
that the German army. Il Il should ha
engaged IN another war, would be &C,
companted by a greater number Of
dogs than ever before accompanied an
army on campaign.
