At recent dog show in London one
department had row of kennels in
which was exhibited a line of dog
heroes, dogs that had served human
ity in a noble way. These canine nota-
bles proved to be the great feature of
the show. Among these. all authenti-
Gated cases OF noble conduct. were n
Scotch collie that had saved a child
from being run over in the street; an
Irish terrier that had guarded the
body Of an old woman who had died
from exposure; collie that had saved
a child from drowning and an Aire-
dale that had saved his master from
being stabbed by Norwegian sailor.

FREEZING WATER.
Conditions That Cause the Bursting or
Cracking of Ice

Ice never bursts from freezing AS
soon as the liquid of which ii is com
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
The cracking or bursting of ice is
brought about in this way: When wa
ter is subjected to extreme cold ice
crystals will gradually form on its sur
face until the same are covered with a
thin coat of what appears to be wet
snow. From this outer coating of ice
crystals all subsequent freezing goes
downward, the ice thickening accord
ing to the degree of cold. The water
which is being converted into ice now
begins to expand. creating pressure
upon the unfrozen water below. This
pressure is both downward and out
ward, and in case the water under OBJ
servatlon is in vessel the sides and
bottom Of the receptacle supply the re-
sistance.
As the freeing process continues the
pressure upon the confined water and
air in the interior Of the bulk increases
until something Yields. If the vessel
lac stronger than the ice stratum that
has formed over the surface the layer
of ice viii be bent upward n; the cen
ter. that being the weakest point. on
account of the fact that the outc-
edges of the CONCEALED mass are frozen
fast to the sides Of the vessel in viii h
the experiment Is being made In this
condition the center of the ice contil-
ues TO rise or bulge until it bur $
from the resistance of the water beloT-
Gould the vessel be tapped from below
and the water drawn off no amount of
freezing would be sufficient TO crack
or bulge the ice layer on the surface.

A Proiectile,s CAIN Of speed.

Experiments with improved instru-
ments for measuring the velocity of
projectiles have shown that the speed
goes on increasing after the missile has
left the mouth of the cannon. Leaving
the muzzfe with velocity of 1,474 feet
a second a projectile has been observ-
ed to Increase its speed TO 1,6S9 feet a
sseond within the first six feet. 1t is
only after having travelled twenty-five
yards that the projectile's velocity be-
comes reduced to the speed it had on
leaving the muzzle. This is ascribed to
the impulse of the expanding gas be-
ing felt for some distance beyond the
cannon's mouth.-New York Tribune.

Stopped the Funeral.

The funeral" at Zenta, in Hungary,
OF man named Peter Hirti proved a
sensation. The cortege was approach
ing the cemetery when the lid of the
coffin was forced off. and Peter Hirti,
alive and well, stepped out of the
hearse onto the road On seeing him
the mourners were seized with panic
When the excitement subsidized Peter
Hirti related that he had made bet
that he could feign death and keep up
the deception until the coffin in which
he was placed was taken to the Gene
terry. The want of air compelled him
to force the coffin lid before the Gene
terry was reached. and he therefore lost
the bet.

Religion and Medicine

a loving Father controls the destiny
of mankind are a great deal better
prepared to meet the vicissitudes of
life and to overcome disease than the
one who has no such faith. A truly
religious man makes a better patient
than an irreligious man.
In using the word religion I am not
referring to any particular kind Of re-
ligion. The Jew and the gentle, the
Catholic and the Protestant. each have
a religion in which they believe. They
also agree In the essentials.
A religious man may believe that 1t
is necessary for him to use every
means in his power to get well. He
may believe that 1t is perfectly proper
for him to employ doctors and take
medicines. But he also believes that
when he has done the best he can
there is a higher power that has
charge of his affairs. that absolute JUS
tice will be done him. that no evil thing
can befall q good man. He goes for
ward with confidence, sick or well, rich
or poor, and gets a great deal more
comfort out of life than the man who
has no religion.
/ have found myself saying many
times to people who have a chronic all
ment. you need religion as well as
medicine. You need faith in an over
ruling providence that guides every
thing to wise ends; that the affliction
of disease teaches a lesson that every
one should strive to learn"
This does not mean that sick people
are to sit down and trust that an over
ruling providence will do everything.
Nothing OF the sort. He is to use rerne-
dies guided by his best judgment, but
in the use Of them he can believe that all
things are well and that in the end all
things will come out right. Any medi-
