DOGS in W.4RTI'HE
OF GREAT VALUE IN FINDING
TIE WOUNDED.
Frenchmen Urge Minister Of War to
Have Animals Attached to Am
buIance Corps-Idea ls Nor
a New One.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
corps why shouldn't they be trained to
reinforce the hospital and ambulance
service Of the French army? The adj.
vantages of this innovation have been
set forth at some length by Dr.. Biche-
Tonne and Capt. Toilet in q volume
which has just been published It 10
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps"
That dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield is
no new idea. The experiment was
tried with success at the time Of the
Boer war, and at the battle of Cha
Ho In the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered % soldiers who had been
given up for lost.
In 1890, by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one Of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training Of dogs in war time have been
formed in Dresden, Cologne, Coburg,
Aix-la-chapelle and Neuwied. Similar
'oSiStISS nave Deen organized IN ftOl-
land, Sweden and Italy. In fact all Of
the European countries have turned
their attention tc the subject at one
time or other except France
DR.. Bichelonne and Capt. Toilet urge
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds of dogs in France which would
take easily to the military training.
1t is an undjspTted fact, these au-
tDors say, that after an engagement
there are many wounded and dying
who are overlooked by the nurses and
litter carriers. A case in point ts
quoted At the battle Of ReZopville.
GraVelotte in 1870 two injured soldiers
lay for three days in ravine. The
ground had been gone over many
times by the ambulance service and
yet they had not been found. In in
stances like this the usefulness of
dogs as scouts is unquestioned.
1t Is wonder that European armies
nave not awakened long before this
last decade to the Importance Of dogs
as practical helpers in war time, the
authors think. On the battlefield the
role of these canine assistants would

CIGAR TIA LASTS ALL DAY
Device Of the Ease-Lovlng Indians o.
South America.

Cigars a foot and half long,
which are made for one days smok-
Ing, have been placed on view in the
American Museum Of Natural His
tory at New York With them is a
holder which looks like a tuning fork
and Is large enough to be used for

Schmidt and Louis Weiss, made q col
lection Of articles for the museum.
The Indians there made cigars IS
inches long and as big around as a

too much for any ease-loving man to
clasp, so the Indians put the fragrant

articles In the collection, which was
made during a three months journey
from the coast. The material is Of the
highest value, and nothing like 1t has
been seen, except a few articles in a
German museum.

Uses for Austrian Recruits

Like the famous John Gilpin, the
neir to the throne has a frugal mind
and, 1t has been m~aliciously whisper
ed, sees great chances to exercise this
virtue at the expense of the poor re-
cruits, says Lady's Realm.
Scores of these who come from lne
country are drafted off to the arch.
ducal estates and do their military
service there, much of it consisting in
gamekeepers' duties in the archduke's
pheasant preserves. The recruits are
also used when Improvements in the
parks and grounds are being made
According to one story squads of them
are marched about and made to do
duty as dummy trees while the heir
to the throne stands at a distance and
experiments as to where a clump OF
trees would look best.
The soldiers, being merely human
object all the more because there are
no extra rations for this kind Of duty
They have generally to shift fol-
themselves and their miserable pay
only procures them food far poorer
than that which they would get in
barracks, although that Is not very
sumptuous.
