He must be brought up especially

often the case.
The dog also seems practical, and
Indispensable as an adjunct to the
sanitary corps. Has he not proven
his value on the battlefield: In the
war in the Iransvanl the collie dogs
saved the lives Of hundreds OF the
wounded. During the war in Man
churin the German dogs OF the sani-

especially at the battle Of Cha-Ho.
The idea OF using dogs in this way
is not altogether new. IT had its
origin I'm Germany. 1t has advanced
so far there that they have more
than two thousand dogs trained for
this service. The French society or
ganlzed for this purpose has already
some two hundred or more. But it
requires further development.
All kinds OF dogs are not adapted
to this work. The French dog Is the
best type for the purpose, because Of

The sands gradually covered up the wreck and made
1t practically hopeless to treasure at one
time Then the recent progress of engineering
once more gave hope that the bulk the treasure
might be found.
The National Salvage Association OF London with

under an agreement by which Loyds receive

One OF the greatest difficulties the salyors had co
