DOGS IN WARTIME
OF GREAT VALUE IN FINDING
TIE WOUNDED.
Frenchmen Urge Minister of War to
Have Animals Attached to AM
bulance Ccrps-Idea Is NOT
New One.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris uolice
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 lehsth by Or. Biche-
fonne and Capt. Toilet in a volume
which has just been published. It ia
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps"
Ihat dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield ia
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 23 soldiers who had been
given up for lost.
In 1871. 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, Cobure,
Alx-la-chapelle and Neuwied Similar
societies have been organized in Hol.
land, Sweden and Italy. In fact all of
the European countries have turned
their attention r. the subject ct 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 undisnrted fact, these au.
!nors say, that after an engagement
there are MANY wounded and dying
VINO are overlooked by the nurses and
hitter carriers. A case in point Is
quoted. At tho battle of Rezonyille.
Gfavelotte 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 hal aot been found. In in
Stances like tiis the usefulness of
dogs as scouts is unquestioned.
It is wonder that European armies
nave not awakened long before this
last decade to the imrort2rce of dogs
as practical helpers in wa, time, the
authors think. On the battlefield the
role OF these canine assistants would
oe very mlIrh the same as that of the
st. Bernard dogs-and they have been
rescuing sI!Dwbound travellers for sey.

CHINESE KITES ARE woNDErs.
One Ingenious Device Was Made to
Represent Huge Centiped.

Probably the most wonderful and
ingenious achievement of a Chinese
k1temaker. is designed TO represent a
gigantic centiped, says writer in the
World To-day. This is unquestionably
the longest and most fantastic amuse-
ment device that has ever been con-
structed for aerial flight, From head
TO tall 1t measures nearly 40 feet, and
Is made to field up accordionlike. The
fierce large head of the creature, with
long protruding horns, huge eyes and
gaping mouth. forms the front of the
Kite. This is the gem and marvel OF
the whole collection and entirely new
to the eyes Of the western world.
It's construction is as follows: y Ex..
tending from head to tail and consti-
turing the BODY portion are q series of
bamboo sticks running crossWise to
the center, to which are fastened 25
or more pasteboard disks a foot or
more In diameter. These are painted
In circles of black, yellow and white,
representing the all-seeing eyes Of this
NEUROLOGICAL creature. A tail portion
Of narrow strips is fastened to the
last piece Of bamboo. By a mechanical
eontrivance the curved pieces of paste
board forming the eyes are made to
revolve ~ the wind while the kite Is

 Thus scarcely had one head lost the crown and another assumed 1t, ere the curse of the old Tower began to weave around the new wearer.

 simon Renard perceived the opportu- nity. Strictly confined from his youth, the beauty of the ladies at court bewil- dered and enchanted the young man {. The crafty Spaniard at once led him in the paths of gallantry, and then took care that the story of her favorites ad- ventures should reach the Queens ears.
 Mary heard-and paFdoned. The Spaniard saw that he must use strong CT measures. He brought Courtenav and Elizabeth together, knowing that there was not a creature in the world of whom Mary was as jealous as s nss sister His plan succeeded better ana sooner than he had dared to hope. It was only a few weeks before he was able to lead Mary to a place where Courtenay was on his knees befora Elizabeth.

Peer ing over their shoulders, he saw Queen Jane, and kneeling before her an old woman whom he recognized as Gun nora Braose, foster mother of the Duke of Somerset, whom Northumberland had sent to the seaffold. She was beg king the Queen to abdicate. Weep ing, she confessed that she had been bribed by Northumberland to poison her predecessor, young Edward VI, and that the ambitious Duke had hired her to do the same for Jane herself, SO that his son Dudley should become King of England.
 At this moment Renard and Penn broke. The squire still untitled in Queen that the standard of Mary had been raised and that her army was pressing toward London, carrying all before it.
 "You are no longer Queen said Renard. You father-in-law, the Duke of Northumberland. has been defeated. He has disbanded his own forces ana proclaimed Mary this day" The Spanish plotter spoke truth for once. Within a few days Mary entered London, acclaimed by the people. whose hatred for the Duke of Northumberland was so great that they preferred Mary. even though they knew that with her there would come reascendance or the Church of Rome.
 The pageantry that surrounded her entry was greater even than that | which marked the accession of poor Lady Jane. The splendid tr&in that accompanied her on steeds trapped with burnished silver and covered with cloth of gold rode through streets
 tumultuous with joy. where wine ran | out of great fountains for all to drink. The Tower. radiant in the sun, had hung out all It's banners once more, and once more was wreathed in the
 smoke of it's cannon---a heartless rake | that had cast off one mistress to take | on another.
 Marys first act was to order the
 Imprisonment of the Duke 9f Northum- | berland. Lord Guilford Dudley and
 Lady Jane Soon every dungeon in the | Tower was filled with their friends and | partisans who look the places vacated | by prisoners freed by Mary when she
