A Plague of Dogs.
From I.esiie's.

Even the well cared-for dog is not al
ways safe pet in city country. but
the stray and starving dogs that roam
the streets of our large cities are often
serious a menace to human beings as
so many wild beasts. In New York city
alone during the past eight months no
less than 1900 persons were bitten by
dogs and the virus of hydrophobia was
injected into their veins. Thanks to
prompt and skillful medical treatment.
only seven of the bitten ones died of
hydrophobia; but even in the case of
those who recovered. the bodily and men,
tai suffering must have been grievous.
There seems to be a veritable plague of
dogs in the metropolis. 1t is estimated
that there are 100000 of these animals
in the city. only 5000 OF which are IL
censed. the remainder (2J0,OOO being
strays.

After the train left the station the po-

crowd, on whom the police had to turn
on several occasions. The mob pressed
round them and hustled them. Stones
were thrown and blows struck.

PARIS, September %. 1911.
Every day brings with it new revela-
t;on and some fresh clue to the theft OF
the "Mona Lisa" A rather startling dep
osition has been made to the examining
magistrate by a public official, to the
effect that an escaped convict had been
for some time a frequent visitor at the
Louvre. and had even slept there. The
Official described the convict, who is well
known. He is the son Of respectable
school teacher now dead. and he even
took his degrees at the Sorbonne. In 1909
he was sentenced to transportation for a
