A contemporary relates an extraor-
binary story Of the strength Of dogs
jaws, which, as 1t is given with fun
details, we accept in good faith. The
strength Of dogs jaws and teeth
were never more exemplified than in
the case of a Ross-shire gamekeeper,
whose collie was unfortunate enough
to be caught In a steel vermin trap.
The gamekeeper, gun In hand, was
soon on the scene, but In the short
time the dog had become quite infuri-
ated with pain. Having nothing suit
able for muzzling the animal and fear
ing to place his foot upon the trap
spring with the dogs jaws free, the
gamekeeper placed the gun barrels In
the dogs mouth and held them there
while easing the spring. With vi
cious snap the teeth closed on the cold
steel ere he regained his freedom. The
barrels, which are Of steel, were holed
through-an almost Incredible perform
