pie and the Turkish government has
asked the powers to intervene.
An official bulletin was issued by
the government at Constantinople to-
night admitting defeat at the hands
of the Bulgarians in the great battle
on the Thracean plains.
Application was made to the en-
bassies in Constantinople tonight fol-
mediation by the powers to end the
hostilities and arrange peace agree
ment.
The ambassadors prior to this, had
asked the porte to grant permission
to each of the great powers to send
one warship through the Dardanelles

with. The only guarantee of safety
for the native Christians and perhaps
foreigners in Constantinople is = te

powers.

Story nf a iaNinIin.u

On one occasion all who were pres ent in the court of justice at Berlin had the great pleasure of listening to a free performance by Professor Joa chim, the famous violinist. It appear, ed from the evidence, that a dealer in musical instruments was charged with cheating a customer by representing that violin which he offered for sale at $1.25 was an instrument that cout, be played. The great professor was called in as an expert witness, and, taking up the 1mpugned instrument. he proceeded to play upon 1t. Under his magic fingers 1t really sounded like a violin. but in few moments, much to the regret of his listeners. the macs tro laid the instrument down with an evident air of contempt. But he had secured the accused's acquittal.

HOW FAST DO DOGS THINK =

Docs your cat or your dog think,
II SO. do they think in the same way
as o do? These intensely interest
ing questions are discussed by Prof. p.
L.. T~horndike OF Columbia university.
who is already distinguished for his
Investigations into this subject.
Prof. Thorndike has approached the
subject from the standpoint Of expert.
mental psychology. Instead Of relat-
ing marvellous stories Of animal cley.
erness. stories generally of ~favorite
cats and dogs. the professor has sub
mitted them to experimental tests.
He presents a problem, usually sim.
pie to The animals. and carefully notes
what they do. what sensations they
appear to feel. and finally whether
they solve the problem.
For example. he takes hungry cats
and dogs and incloses them in q cage.
the front part Of which il closed by a
wire netting beyond which is placed
the %favorite food Of the animal. The
door fits into the netting and may be
opened by a mechanism which the
animal has to operate in order to get
out and reach his food.
The opening mechanism is some-
times a latch. sometimes a knob.
sometimes a platform which opens the
door when the animal steps on it. In
some cases the door Is commanded by
two or three m~echanisms. which the
must operate successfully.

These revelations of dog nature
came to us gradually. 1t was on
March IL. while VIC were cut off from
the shore and were casually watching
the dogs as they idly trotted about
on the snow, that we witnessed the
ilrst attack. There was a growl, a
wlld rush tn q central spot. a heap OF
heaving. snarling forms. and the hor-
RID deed was done almost before we
realized thai the peace had been dis.
turbcd. We shouted and whistled
but might just as we'll have held our
breath. The deed done, peace once
more prevailed. and one would scarce.

n Curious Work of Nature,
a curious work of nature seer on
h C same expedition is told: Our
loads were arranged theoretically, 200
pounds to each man and 100 mounds
to each dog. and the first discovery
we made was that the dogs entirely
refused to work on our theory: the
pest of them only exerted a pull OF
about fifty pounds. and this with a
very dispirited and downcast mien:
the rest hung disconsolately back on
thelr traces and had to be half led,
alf dragged over the frozen surface
We learned later on that it was a
bad plan to combine dogs and mer
on a sledge: the dogs have a pace and
q manner of pulling of their ou., az
nelther of these is adapted to the un.
equal movement cause by the swing
OIL marching men. But on this oc.
caslon there was n stronger reason
for h ineffciency of the dogs. They
were losing their coats: the thick fur
was coming out in handfuls, and tht

ed. IL the policy of the move on
sentence is to rid the community of
these tramp criminals, why not ac-
complish the purpose by making
the town such a terror to evil doors
That they will give it a wide berth
by choice? If u few of the hold.up
artists were given sixty days labor
on the streets they would never re.
turn. And while they are working
out their sentences the rest of the
country would he free from their
depredations. and tho axpayer
would be getting some return for the
keeping them.

or move on sentence, and return
10 the first jurisdiction, but he is not
prevented from carrying on his game
all the time. Eut If all these juris.
dictions would enforce the hard la
h"r sentence. the criminal would
have all his time and attention taken
UP in looking after his own affairs.
The reputation of the hard labor
scheme would spread and the com.
munity would be free from these
N~asabonds.
While not Gcrmane to this discus
sion, II is not anniSs to suggcs that
the greatest check on the hlindpig-
glng business in this state would be
n" amendment of the law 80 that
hard labor sentences should be the
only method of punishment. That
condition is partially true now. if
the law is enforced, but tho illicit

There is no excuse for the exist

pirates on society and are without
standing of any character. They
mean to live by robbing society OF

DOGS ARE THE REAL.
ARCTIC EXPLORERS

without the Eskimo dog. the story
Of the north pole would remain UNI
told" says Commander Robert E.
Peary. Scott lost his race to the south
pole by depending upon Siberian
ponies instead of dogs.
Explorers come back" Only a few
Of the dogs ever do. That is because
they are useful all the time. When
they die in the traces they form a
hearty meal for the other dogs. When
the explorer can conveniently do
without n he shoots it, and the par
ty feasts on fresh meat. Amundsen
sings the praises of dog meat lei
down near the south pole. Pcary
brought back what was left OF his
teams. and some Of them are still at
Bronx 200, in New York.
What makes the arctic dog the real
hero of the polar hunts? They are as
intelligent, says Peary. as any dogs in
civilization, and a thousand times
more useful. They earn their own
forts of life. Indeed. it seems that
when life is made pleasant for them
they get sick, lie down. and die; but
when out on the march. with no food
for days. thin, gaunt skeletons of their
former selves. they will stubbornly

The Wolf Strain Invaluable.
1t is the matter of food that makes
the dog tho and only animal the
poler explorer is able to use to ad-
vantage. Horses or reindeer are out
OF the question. owing to the impos-
sibility of carrying food for them, but
the dog is carnivorous. He feeds on
hlubbcr. Walrus skin. fish. hear, or
musk oX-food that is to be found all
along the journey to the pole. or, as
has been said, he can evc feed on
the carcass OF his fellow.
There are many strains OF Eskimo
dogs, "malamutes." the natives call
them. The true malamute is a cross
between wolf n dog. The wolf strain
gives the endurance and resistance to
the perils of the wild; the dog strain
gives IN necessary obedience and do.
cility. Very different these from the
pampered dog hat march beside Con-
necticut avenue bellies and take the
blue ribbons at the shows.
Six Eskimo dogs can pull a load of
500 pounds seven miles an hour. Kane
was carried for 700 miles at the rate
OF fifty-seven miles a day. But the
record speed of dogs pulling a load
was attained in the case of Lieut..
Schwatka's expedition, when A lone
sailor. drifting away. was rescued. He
