Bulldog Is so called because Of his
native antipnthy to the bull. A thor

months the first time he beholds a
bull will run Mt the head, which is bis
invariable point Of attack, and, seiz'
ing the horned beast by the lip, tongue

to detach him. The dog will even suf'
fer himself to be killed or dismember'
ed rather than relax his hold.-New

During the past year the rail
roads of the United States have
greatly increased their use of oil
as fuel. 1t is stated that the re-
suit Of the United States navy
have also proven satisfactory and
steamship companies are equipp-

plants. Two Of the navy's bat
tleships-the North Dakotl and
the Delaware have been equipp-

battleships now being construct

of oil as an auxiliary to coal.
Fifteen destroyers will also be so
equipped. Similar experiments
are being made IN a number of
European countries and the pros
poets are exceedingly bright for
a vast increase in the consump-
ton of low grade oil within the
next few years.
