Driving q Dog Team.

1t is much harder to manage a sledge
team of eight dogs than 1t Is to drive an
equine four-in-hand. especially in start

harnesses have been strung out for an
early start. the dogs have been given
their single daily meal the night before.
Very early a single dog is unclaimed and
led forth and put in harness, but by the
time the second dog is fetched the first
dog has been looking for several imasi-
nary heas and tangled himself up hope
lessly. Claiming dog two to the sledge.
dog one is disentangled and dog two har-
messed and strung in front of him. Dog

driver Is away dogs one and two under

lasted over from the previous day. For
the third time dog one has to be rehar-
messed and Strengthened out. for the Sec
ond time dog two, and dog two and dog
three strung in front. Happily, dog three

Electrical Shot Firing.

Electrical methods of firing and

thorough and exacting determinations
and have proven eminently satisfac-

the electrical system of firing possesses
over the ordinary method of firing
safety fuses are: Cd Higher degree
of safety; (2) fewer miss-fires; t3D
absolute safety in approaching the
shot after one has occurred; () abb
sence of flame and smoke from fuse,

shots simultaneously. Electrical blast

% the high-tension method: CD tha
low-tension method. In the high-ten-
sion method the detonator Is exploded
by means OF a spark which is made TO
jump across a gap in the electrical
circuit inside of the detonator. In the
low-tension system, which is the more
widely used, the firing is usually done
by means OF a current from an electric
battery or magnetic. the currents pass

sitive detonafing material inclosed in
a copper tube called the detonatory
