grew stronger. Finally they reached an
Italian shack, entered it and sprang at
the Italians whom they found there. The
men denied all knowledge OF the rob-
berry. but little searching brought to
light the silver vessels hidden In an out
house. This case was solved in thirty
minutes. though the scent was fourteen
hours old when the dogs found It.
The big dog Fob. for whom Chief Ker-
kan has been offered $780, had an an
noying experience with the thieves who
entered the home OF Or. Vaughan, at
Garden City, on February OF this year.
The dog reached the place by train at
0 30 a. m and took the scent from the
cork of a whiskey bottle which the
thieves had opened. The trail led to an
other room. where an empty cigar box
proved that they were not averse to en-
joying themselves as they worked.
In the main hall one OF them had taken
away a pair of rubbers, and thence the
trail led, away across the fields to the

OF a neighbornG residence and across 10
the trolley line. There Il ended, and the
big dog lifted his head to howl his dis

He made up for it just a month later,
however. when the beautiful country
place OF George A. Crocker. at Locust
Valley, was entered. The robbery was
discovered at o'clock in the morning,

through the entire first floor OF the

and along private road through the
estate to the public highway. Never
hesitatlng the dogs followed # 10 the
home OF a young man named Connolly,
and there the case was turned over TO
the county authorities. They had had
this man under suspicion for some time
but as they had nothing on him" they
were unable 70 arrest him. Connoly was
taken into custody and no. only this
crime but other crimes were proved
against him.
But as the dogs grew more active and
successful the thieves became less so.

Asked what the very marked differences
between airships and aeroplanes as be-
lleved by him to exist point 10 in tho I'M

AN aeroplane pilot can never localize

staff The airship's present method OF
getting its locality perfectly by wireless
IS the only dependable thing, but II Is be-
yond the aeroplane, and its Astronomical
locaIlzlng is far too complicated for the
aeroplane.
The aeroplane must 'ind' its way by
frequent landings over water. IL must
depend on a mother ship; In the air,
on an airship. But the sum or aerial
science that can be crowded into the
aeroplane's rule Of thumb practice, 10
