YOUNG FOLKS CORNER
A Ball Playing Dog.

A saga.ious coach dog for some
time gave much amusement to specta-
tors At games Of ball that were played
by boys on the lake front In Milwau-
kee during fine summer evenings last
year. The dog took stand behind the
catcher, and with countenance ex-
pressive Of life and intelligence and an
active tail that emphasizes what he
cannot speak. watched passed balls"
Immediately the sphere passed through
the catcher's hands snap was made
at 1t, and the dog darted after the roll
ing ball. which OH his return he. with
out solicitation. dropped ut the CATCH
er's feet. Whenever the pitcher passed
a ball the dog darted across the dia-
mond and retrieved 1t for him. An,
most human interest was depicted OIL
the countenance of the animal when
ever the catcher got under the bat for
close work. Then the four footed ball
player crouched as closely as he could
behind the catcher, and by his intent
alertness cut comical figure. Some
times the boys would wrangle as to
which side should have the services of
the dog. The exhibition Of canine in
telllgence mora than counterba!anceI

boys.

SCIENCE INVENTION.
Ancient Level Of Lake Tahoe.

The statement sometimes made that
Tahoe Is an old volcanic crater IL not
true. The region about the lake shows
evidences Of volcanic activity Of vari-
GUS kinds. and the lake waters them
selves have probably been damned Mt
times by outpourings Of lava. A lava
dow appears to have temporarily hlled
the outlet channel below Tahoe City.
Cal. The lake, however, lies in struc-
tural depression-a dropped block Of
the earth's crust.
During the neocene epoch and the
earlier part of the pleistocene epoch
the waters of Lake Tahoe stood much
higher than now probably on account
Of lava dams. which have since been
cut through. Distinct beaches that
mark former higher levels are found
up to about q hundred feet above the
present lake. but 1t is believed that the
waters formerly rose to still greater
heights. At Tahoe City the most dis
tinct of these old beaches is a terrace
thirty-fivc to forty feet above the level
Of the lake. and 1t IL this terrace that
makes the level ground ON which Ia

Tho Baby Elephant.

Did you ever see all elephant teach
its young son or daughter to eat? The
mother elephant has to teach her child
just as your mother taught you to do
things. She eats from several boughs,
and then she waits for the baby to fol-
low her example, which 1t does. but. of
course, cannot hold down the branch.
The mother lets 1t get struck In the
face several times before she puts her
trunk over the bough to hold It down.
and the baby then learns how to do 1t.

by scenes greatly different from those
Of the present. The swanapy lowlands

great variety Of woinike carniyora.
Saber toothed tigers and true cats.
some Of them considerably larger than
the modern tigers, were also abundant
Three toed horses were still numerous,
but the modern genus equus was not
among them. One Of the most curious
animals Of the time in Kansas and Ne
