The Doctor and the Dog.

A family that live in a detached
house out in the suburbs telephoned
for their doctor The call was urgent.
1t was late in the evening.
When the doctor arrived at the gate
the family dog was there ahead of
him. The dog did not like the looks of
man with q triangle shaped bunch
Of whiskers and black satchel.
The doctor started to brush by the
dog and go In. But the dog soon
showed him that he wasn't joking.
Maybe they'll hear the dog and call
him off, thought the doctor, and he
waited. But they didn't.
There was just one thing for the doc
tor to do. and that was to go to the
nearest telephone and call up the fam
lily But he learned that it was no
easy job to find a telephone. It was
then pretty late. and he had to go half
a dozen blocks back toward town be-
fore he found place where he could
get phone.
Dog repeated the man at the other
end. 1--WE haven't any dog. You must
have stopped at the place next door.
They have a dog. Now, hurry back

The Earthquake Belt.

The internal uneasiness of the earth
which caused the Sicilian earthquake
is not ended, and seismic disorders
may occur at any moment in any of
the faulty" sections of the earths
surface.
This disquieting opinion is given out
by Professor Frederick Heath of the
American Geological society.
Our Pacific coast, Japan, the Phil
ippines or the equatorial regions may
experience serious trouble before the
internal pressure ceases, he says.
Professor Heath, who is high au-
thority, describes the condition in a
simple way:
1.-The earth, cooling on the exterior,
is filled within with white-hot liquid
rock. Through the outside crust ifs
sures are opened from time to time by
the internal heat. In this instance the

Mediterranean sea and water poured

Continued tremors and activity OF
volcanoes indicate that the fiussure
which. started the present trouble is
not yet closed and that steam is still
being generated within the earth
Where it may break out next is the
question. The weakest spot, wherever

It's up to him to make the break

And walt and tale his chances.

And waited to be captured

And by his charms enraptured,
And some were carried off perhaps
By maideis quite delighted,
But moro remained in single bliss,
