TELEPHoNING FOR BULLETS

War is stimulus to science, and
this is reflected very strikingly in
matters pertaining to the relief of the
wounded The search for and extrac-
tion of fragments of shells is no sim
pie matter, although surgical endeavor
has been facilitated by the perfection
OF the N-rays. But these are INSULT
cient. A bullet may be located speedi-
ly, but the difficulty is to ascertain it's
precise position by the probe and Ian
Get. AS result Of study and investi-
cation simple and effective method
of discovery has been perfected, which
may be described as telephoning for
bullets. Ordinary telephone receivers
are clamped over the surgeons head,
one wire being led to a carbon plate
and the second wound round the knife,
probe, needle, forceps or whatever in
strument is used. With this implement
the search is made, and directly it
comes into contact with. say, a bullet,
a distinct click is heard on the tele-
phone. If the instrument is rubbed
across the surface of the buried OBJ
ject rattle is observed, and by fol.
lowing this clew it is possible to with
draw the bullet or fragment of metal.
The idea is by no means new, mas
much as 1t was employed for the first
time during the Boer war, but the
present campaign has served to bring
1t to a high state of perfection.

CEMETERY
For Dogs Is Located In
Washington
(Kansas City Stan

Not one in thousand of the native
or adopted Washingtoniaps knows
where the dogs cemetery is, or even
that there is such a place, for only a
small proportion of persons bury their
pets in this way and set up marble
tombstones at their graves. This dogs
cemetery is not place for the burial
of the dogs of rich men and women.
A rich man may buy a grave site and
erect monument, but the dog owners
who have laid their pets away in this
cemetery are people who are poor or
in very moderate circumstances. The
Dogs Cemetery is not new venture,
but an old institution. Dog funerals
have been held there for many years.
The cemetery is grown with all sad
pine and on many of the graves are
planted flowers. There you may read
the epitaphs of Laddie, Scotch col
lie; Trip, an English pug; Foxy, Buster
Brown, Dolly Gray, Waif Bishop, Boot
sic Ted, Toodles Rouser, Dick, Rob,
Topsy, Mayor, Dainty, Billy, fox ter
rier; Daisy, Trix, Scotch collie;
Jean, Jack, fox terrier, and Taps.
Many of the graves are "mounded up"
rallied in and planted or decked with
chrysanthemums, holly berries, roses
and the like. Although it is dogs
cemetery, yet there is this that is fam
iliar about 1.-THE new graves have
flowers; the old graves, in spite of af-
fectionate words cut in the marble
above them, have no flowers. One may
wonder as he stands here whether cats
are buried In this little cemetery. 1t
would seem that this might be so, for
Saters and Tabby, Foxy and Puss,
Towser and Tom, and Toodles and
Molly ought to bury their differences
at the grave. One may also wonder
whether on dark and misty nights or
moonIbright nights ghost dogs af.
fright the rabbits-i in their silent woods.
The cemetery is fenced-in plot on
the east slope of hill looking out
across the Anacostia River. 1t is in a
stretch of woodland between the
Washington Baltimore boulevard and
the river, about mile from the road
and a few rods from the river. There
is no road over which any consider
able volume of travel passes nearer
than the boulevard, mile away.

BATTLE
Rally Won Game For Mt.

Score OF 5 To 4

A batting rally in the last half of
the ninth inning in Sundays ball
game between the locals and the
Kelsey team of Newark snatched a
victory from an almost certain defeat
and threw fans who braved the chilly
weather into frenzy of enthusiasm
which has seldom been witnessed on

the score of to 4.
The Newark aggregation secured
a lead early in the contest and sue
ceeded in maintaining it. Mt. Vernon
scored only one run on triple made
by AL Schweitzer BY the ninth inning
the Heiseys had piled up four scores
and seemed in fair way to walk
away with the game.
Sullivan and Schweitzer figured
strongly in the batting rally which
Tailed four runs for the locals and
won them the game. Wild cheers,
that could almost be heard over the
city came from the grand stand and
bleachers when the locals started
their eleventhhour scoring, The
four runs were source of great joy
to the fans, all of whom left the park
pronouncing the game one of the best
ever seen here.
Church, of Danville, pitched for the
locals until the seventh inning, when
he was relieved by Johnny Bowden,
recently returned from Bucyrus. Al
Schweitzer stacked up as the bright
and particular star for Mt. Vernon.
He tripled and doubled and fielded his
position at the second sack in excel
lent shape.

NOW FARMERS WANT TO KNOW
columbus Dispatch.)


There is evidently purpose on the
part of the president and trustees of
Ohio State university to give to the
public no account of their steward
ship in the matter of Dean Prices de-
position. The latter has twice asked
for q statement of the reasons for
their action, and his request contin-
aues to be ignored. He has presented
his case, including an outline of the
growth Of the college of agriculture
and its present service, and is ready
to stand by the record. His decapi-
tators prefer to work in secret, with a
true Venderbiltan disregard Of the
public.
But their course is unsatisfactory.
Here now are the farmers, joining
Others inside and outside the univer-
sity circles in expressions of doubt
and disapproval. They have heard
the stories of nte-election deals and
personal spite, and they want to
know. They insist that their college
shall not be put in jeopardy. on such
considerations. What are the silent
and almost confessing authorities 60
ing to do about it?
