SHORES OF DOG
 AWAKE BURGLAR

Among the dog stories that attracted notice last night was one concerning a dog. the snores of which disturbed a burglar, another about dog which de- livered laundry and d third the subject of which was a valuable Chilian fish hound. says the New York Herald.
 man without a home and who was declared later by the police to be a burglar, crept into the hall of the apartment house at No, IS East 125th street, and, as the hour was early and the surroundings inviting. he took the pillows from several baby carriages. made a bed for himself and went to sleep little while later Joseph Levy, living on the fourth floor. turned his fox. terrier out into the hall for the night because the terrier. named Daisy. snored so loudly that the family could not sleep.
 Daisy went to sleep in the hall and within few minutes her reverberating snores awoke the man who had gone to sleep on the baby pillows in the first floor hall Mistaking the noise for that made by saws cutting through steel safe, he ran upstairs and found Daisy. There was a fight. The entire apart ment house was aroused and the man arrested. He lacked portion of his trousers,.

Monkeys As Critics

From the New York Times
 Every time the man who wore his hat tilted over against his left ear peered In through the bars of the cage the mon keys nearly had fit The man could not explain their panic neither could his wife and children. Other people might press their faces as close as the bars would permit and even thrust their hands in through the chinks, and the little ani- malls within seemed coolly indifferent to the familiarity, but the instant the man with the tip-tilted hat appeared excite nient straightway thrilled each Simian breast.
 Its very funny, said the man. "I wonder what ails 'em? l don't do any thing to them"
 Maybe it is because your hat is on crooked. pa suggested one of the little boys. "Straighten it up and see if that will make any difference"
 The man shifted his hat around to the conventional angle, but even when equi- librium was thus restored the monkeys still looked upon him with suspicion. Pres ently one of the keepers joined the crowd. and 1t took him less than half minute to figure out what had puzzled everybody else for half an hour.
 'I don't want to get too personal" he said to the man whose hat had resumed it's rakish tilt, but it is because you are squint-eyed. Monkeys can't bear squint-eyed people. Why they don't like em I can't say, but it Is scientific fact that they don't They can tell a pair of squint eyes as far off as they can see them, and always they take on just as they have today"
 The man whose eyes had been respon- sible for all the uproar wheeled around sharply.
 Thanks" he said. If have that eff feet on them I think I'd better move on"

SUPREME COURT HEARS
 THE DYNAMITE GASES
REVIEW OF THE LOS ANGELES . TIMES CONSPIRACY CASES NOW BEFORE COURT.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Formal peti- tion was filed in the uspreme court today for a review of the conviction of Frank M. Ryan and twenty-throe other members of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers on charges of conspir- acy growing out of the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building and other structures.
 Counse l for the convicted men claim the federal district court for lndianna committee error inthe trial and that the circuit court of appeals failed to correct them Contending that the courts erred in permitting a conviction on the "uncorroborated" evidence of an accomplice. Ortie E. MManigal, who pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge, the attorney today urged that since laws of the various states were at variance on this point, the supreme court should settle the question by reviewing the case.
 The attorneys argued also that the constitutional provision against plac- ing a person in jeopardy twice for the same offense has been violated by the government indicting the men on a charge of conspiracy and on charge of transporting dynamite on interstate trains, and that, more over, the statute of limitations barred he prosecution.

Washington, D. c. 2S.-Mony peo- pie have an idea that there is some thing mysterious and occult ahout the work of the Weathe? Bureau in 'ofcasting the coming of storms, lrosts and floods. Not a few think that the observers must necessarily gel their data by reading the planets 'le stars and the moon.

 The forecasters watch for the re- zion of low barometer which is the storm center around which winds blow. This hirl or eddy moves bodily forward with the general eastward drift of about 650 miles a day in our attitudes. As the lines Of equal pressure Gsobars) around the low center crowd closer together the winds attending the storm in- crease in force. The forecaster de termines the direction of movement of the storm and it's velocity.
 When weather disturbances are re. ported, the forcasters know from experience about how long it takes them to reach our Pacific Coast and then how long after they will reach the Atlantic Coast. For example. if a storm coming from Siberia drifts eastward around the North Pole and reappears Il Alaska, Il should appear in Washington and Or egon in about two days; should get to the great Lakes in six days and to the Atlantic Coast in seven or eight days.
 Unexpected conditions may delay storms or divert them from the straight track just as a refrigerator car may be thrown off its schedule or be shipped by accident on q wrong road. Some of these storms dep.etc themselves by running into regions ol high barometer which are of greater magnitude and extent than the storm itself Some of them however, travel completely around | the world
 To keep taD on cold waves that come into the United States from l Canada and Alaska, the Weather Bureau studies the Canadian Weath- CT reports.

Thorn Goes Clear
Thru Boys Leg
II, Three Months

It required three months time for
a palm thorn to pass thru the left Lex
Of S-year-old Harold Tomlinson. son Of
Mr. and Mrs. w. E. Tomlinson, 10
North Fourth street. Getting the thorn
in his leg three months ago while in
California, the lad, without having
suffered much pain or Inconvenience,
saw his mother pull the 'sticker." over
an inch in length, from the opposite
side OF the leg where the thorn origin
ally entered.
While watching q man trim palm
tree in Los Angeles last winter, Mas
ter Tomlinson fell against some Of the
branches, and ran one Of the thorns.
six or eight inches long, into his leg
just above the top OF his Shoe. The
man who was trimming the tree pulled
out the thorn, and supposed he had 1t
all. The wound panied the lad. but he
did not complain Of It much until the
leg began to swell and show the re-
suit OF the infection. The wound was
then treated, but the end of the thorn
broken OFF In the lads leg was not re-
moved.
The Inflammation in the injured leg
subdued, and the boy thought but little
Of the injury, being able to keep at his
play, just Hike other boys. The Tom
linsons reached home from the west
two weeks ago. and about that time
it has been noticed that a small swell
ing has been making it's appearance
on the opposite side Of the boys leg.
The other day, from the center of this
swelling, Mrs. Tomlinson removed the
rest Of the thorn. It measured one and
one sixteenth inches in length.
