Electric Dog and His Tricks

In the March Popular Science Month ly appears an article by B. F. Meister, describing the famous electric dog which was invented by the author in collaboration with John Hays Ham, mond, Jr. Tn speaking of the tricks of his mechanical pet, the writer says:
 ''The electrical dog, which Mir John Hays Hammond, Jr., and I designed, has no tail to wag and no voice to bark with but he can follow a person about in a most surprising way.
 Like the sunflower that follows the sun in it's path across the heavens my first apparatus was capable of turning itself only to face the object that stim- ulated it. But great difficulty had to be overcome The stimulant was light, and sometimes the dog saw too much light, so that he behaved occasionally in an astonishingly cratic manner
 Just how grave difficulty this dis obedience really is, was illustrated by an amusing incident during a demon stration at Chicago theatre.
 "The dog was ready to spring into action, but when the stage was light ed. instead of obeying the flashlight held in my hands. the dog insisted on paying attention to a very alluring but not thickly clothed young woman painted on the scenery nearby It seems that the reflected light from the paint ing was sufficiently brilliant to com pete with the flashlight and to cause the dog to creep to this faiSer attrac- ton with directness which was al- most uncanny.
 ''To all practical intents and purposes the electrical dog is dead dog until excited by an external light ray-usual- ly a pocket flashlight. held in the hand. Fastened to the front of a squat, oblong box on three roller-like wheels, are two great lenses, the eyes through which the dog receives his intelligence. Behind the lenses are two extremely sensitive cells containing the black, wax-like selenium. A peculiarity of selenium is that it is sensitive only to light rays or, to put the facts lit tie more technically. selenium Is non conductor of electric currents until it is struck by light. when it becomes a conductor. Located behind the selen- ium eyes is an arrangement of relays. batteries, magnets and a motor. When q beam of light strikes one of the se- leniun cells it causes relay to be operated which, in turn, causes cur rent to flow through one of the mag nets controlling the steering wheel The driving motor starts and the dog is under way. Shift the light so that it strike the other selenium eye and the dog moves in the other direction In other words. in whichever direction the light travels. there. also, will the dog go By reversing a switch on the outside of the box, the dog can be mad1 to back away from the light. Illum- mating both cells equally causes the dog to move in a straight line.

 faded again from her hand. Already she was repentant and disgusted at her insane prank.
 Wondering how best she could make good the loss to Mrs. LalEe, she reached her own cottage. In the gar den, talking to Mrs. Travis and Mary was Max Lamar, who had just arrived at Surfton. in answer to June's tele- gram, and who had come directly from the station to the Travis cottage. June came in upon the group as Mary. very red-faced and uncomfort- able, was finishing a right untruthful version of the monkey-theft. Juno came to her relief.
 Good morning, MT. Lamar, she said, taking his eagerly outstretched hand, you didn't waste any time, did you. Come down to the beach and III show you where the monkey was sto' len. have some notes to show you toe. Notes took on the case As she spoke, she led the way to- ward the garden gate. Lamar gladly hurried along at her side. Mary, with . worried look after them and nut tered excuse to Mrs. Travis, followed slowly and at distance.
 As June and Lamar went toward tho pier, the girl drew from her belt the notes she had scrubbed and handed them to Lamar.

LIGHT BRAHMAS

Back in the early forties ships from the ports of Asia brought to the Uni ted States fowls which our fathers re- member as Shanghafs and Chittagongs. Their enormous size was a matter of much comment, for they were large enough to eat from che top of bar rel. Some were red, some light gray and others dark gray, and from them fanciers developed the Asiatfc breeds Cochins and Brahmas.
 George P Burnham of Boston gave them a great boost for popularity in 1853 by presenting several to the late Queen Victoria, and as a result of this they immediately sprang into favor in England. Virgil Cornish and a Mr. Chamberlain of Connecticut were among the first fanciers of the Light Brahmas and did much to improve and popularize them. A demand was quickly created, and they have been extensively bred, especially in the New England states, since that time.
 The, American fanciers demand that

In this case 1t should have large opening in the front, so as to give the birds outdoor conditions at all times. Less space may be allowed per hen when they are kept in large flocks than in small flocks, as they have a larger space to roam over, and it re- quireS no more labor to feed and care for 50 or 100 hens all in one flock than it does for a flock of 10. while the re- turns will be five to 10 times as great Growing stock must have an outside yard, but healthy chicks can be grown in limited quarters where the ground is kept clean by frequent spading and they are given plenty of green food

They lay well; their eggs are rich, dark brown, and much in demand in Boston, Philadelphia and other markets.

FEEDING METHODS FOR CHICKS

An excellent first feed for baby chicks is bread crumbs moistened with sweet milk and squeezed dry. After several feeds of bread crumbs give them a dry mash consisting of wheat bran, four parts; rolled or pinhead oats, three parts: corn meal, two parts; bone meal, one part; fine beef scrap. one part. Serve this in a chick server or shallow pan. Some

THE. PASSIONATE CRIME"

By E. Temple Thurston. D. Appleton
 & Co.,. publishers, New York.
 A charming picture of old Ireland, with its quaint superstititions and it's mys- tery, it's romance and tragedy trav- eler in Ireland comes across some ex- quisite verses written by Anthony Sorel, a strange poet, and in his desire to learn the life story of the man the traveller finds a hidden history of love and trag- edy. The story is of the romance of Anthony Sorel and Anna Quartermaine, whose tragic love and it's woeful ending is ever the theme of the stories of these simple country folk. With hushed voices they tell how Anthony's determi- nation to seek the ideal life sent him away in fear lest he should transgress in loving a woman of the world; of An mas love for him that bade her follow him to his hut in the mountains, where they met at twilight. Sorel believed her to be the fairy woman of his dreams and when he realized that the woman before him was Anna and not the fairy woman he had thought. he was mad dened at his failure to escape her charms and the terrible things that hap pened then haunt the place forever like banshee never at rest. But so beau tifully is the Irish country pictured so carefully are the characters of the peo- pied dawn, that the reader seems to live in a different world-the world of dreams come true-peopled by men and women strangely endowed with intuitive under standing and 8 love for and a strong faith in the Influence of the mystic world.

 MT. Woods remedies are concrete and clearly presented.

AUSTRALIAN BYWAYS."


 By Norman Duncan. Harper Brothers.
 publishers. New York
 The term travel book as applied to Norman Duncan's colorful accounts of his experiences in foreign lands is quite undescriptive. These are travel stories of many kinds; there is the slightly edited travellers record full of facts and small adventures; there is the literary artists sheaf of garnered impressions; there is the series of more or less Journalistic observations and criticisms. and there is the travel noveP' which ingeniously combines fact with fiction. All these are good in their peculiar ways and proper degrees, but MT. Duncan's books are different from the mall. MT. Duncan makes no use of plot or other fictional invention; yet he sees life like a novelist and his narratives are constructed with all a novelists subtle and persuasive art. He places the reader In the midst of new experiences and makes him feel the flavor and glamour of them. The reader simply takes the authors place on the deck of the steamer. in the car avan, on the camels back, in the stage coach. It is the reader who converses with strange folk and enjoys their sim gular rascalities. or sympathizes with their strange distresses and pictur- esque failures for MT. Duncan is a most competent interpreter who knows how to efface himself. MT. Duncan has written richly and fully; he has seen the real things and appreciated t5S subtler things, and he has thrown a glamour over the whole.
 Australian Byways'' is book to en- joy and remember not only for it's vii tality and its fineness, but also for the glowing pictures and strange bits of life that make up it's subject matter. MT. Duncan visited the little known back blocks of Australia, the jarrah- bush, the western dry lands, travelling by logging train, by camel, by old fashioned stage coach. He saw much that was picturesque. and he picked up the queerest tales imaginable, anec- dotes of the strangest, with most quaint and interesting bits of human character. He recounts strange lore of black trackers and Papuan sorcerers. He communicates to his readers the outlook upon life of ancient and repro bate gold diggers. And always in what ever MT. Duncan writes there is felt a grave and genuine interest in every thing human

Starting In Poultry On Small Scale
Make the Back Yard a Source of Pleasure and PrOfit-Only Small Area Necessary for a Family Flock of Hens
By l.. K. kEKSER Breeder. Fancier and Author

(COpyright IyIb)
 Start small and grow large, is the advice usually given the beginner in poultry culture. It is good advice, yet there are those who have not the space nor inclination to keep large flocks. They want a few hens as side line and for recreation; a family flock to supply eggs and meat for the home table, and perhaps, add little to the family income.
