mean a bear dog-a dog for hunting
bears-but beast which shall actually
have bear for a father and a dog for
a mother, or dog father and a bear

that he himself owns what he believes TO
be real bear dog.
This remarkable offer is the result OF
Mr. Astor's reading on the recent eX-
periments Of Pierre Paul Emile Roux

The fertilized egg cells.

New-York tribune., 1911-01-01

An artillery officer. writing in the off,
cial artillery journal of the United States
army. says that from now on armies and
outposts will have to hide not only from,
mounted scouts of the enemy but from
the enemies scouting aeroplunes as well.
How the hiding is to be done he does not
suggest
The great Dietrich Knickerbocker, in
his history of New York. tells how the
good Dutchmen who lived herea bout
many years ago once held their town
safe from English attack by sitting at
their doors and putting at their pipes.
They blew such mighty clouds of smoke
into the air that the island of Manhat-
tan was lost in blue haze and the
Englishmen sailed away without ever
finding il.
Some similar plan might hide an army
from qucsting aeroplane. But the
idea contains possibilities Of still greater
development, for the good ourghers Of
those days had only the purest Virginia
10 fill their pipes withal. What deadly
work could be done with the fumes OF
such stuff as is commonly furnished
nowadays fairly staggers the imagina-
ton. Undoubtedly an army could smoke
faeroplanes out of the sky. much as coun-
try people still smoke flies and hornets
out Of their houses.

not imply the ruinaton OF soldiers by

The architectural wonders Of the
library have already been described in
these pages, but little has been told Of
the many special features that will make
this vigorous new institution far more
than a mere general reading room and
circulating library. Let us suppose that
the opening day is past and that we
may mount the series of steps and ter
races that lead up from Fifth avenue,
past fountains, trees and shrubbery and
under the pillared portico that leads
through the lofty main entrance into the
vaulted hall To the left and right rise

flights and out into the main hall of the
third floor

drawers containing the millions Of cards

NE morning last week New
Yorker was riding downtown on
top Of Fifth avenue auto 'hus.
Three motives had combined to send
him climbing up the spiral steps to the
swaying upper deck. Obviously, he
wanted to get downtown. He also want
ed to study the people and the shops
along the avenue, and he wanted to
smoke a contemplative cigar while he
watched. AS the bus scraped and rat
tied across 42d street bright-eyed old
woman in the seat ahead. whose animat-
ed craning betrayed a decreasing unfa-
miliarity with her surroundings, turned
sharply with finger levelled to the
southwest and asked:

what building that is?"
