Ancestry of Modern Dogs.

According to Charles r. Eastman,
writing III the Museum Journal, our
modern dogs have a varied ancestry,
some being descended from Asiatic
and some from African species. The
spitz in all its varieties is domesti-
Gated jackal. The mastiff and st. Ber-
nard and their kind are descended
through the molossus Of the Romans
from huge, wolflike creature that was
already domesticated by the Assyro-
Babylonians 5000 years before our era.
The Russian borzoi and the Sicilian
hound had their origin in the Cretan
hound. which is still common In Crete,
and it and its cousin, the Ibaza hound
of the Balearic islands, came from the
ancient Ethiopian hound, which was a
domesticated wolf. The collie or shep-
herd dog seems to come down direct
from a small wild dog Of the paleolith-
ic period.

How Wood Shrinks.

Students in the college Of forestry at
the University of Washington have
proved by experiment that a cord OF
full length wood when sawed and re-
piled In the ordinary stack shrinks on
an average 24.76 per cent AS dealers
buy wood i'm full lengths and usually
measure it for delivery before saving
it, they are often accused Of giving
short measure.
A cord" is the standard measure
ment of wood, and it is defined as 12S
cubic feet of wood, measured by pile
four feet high and eight feet wide of
logs four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord as
bought by the dealer and as delivered
TO the customer, according to Professor
Hugo Winkenwerder, dean Of the col
lege. is not entirely explained by the
sawdust. When wood is piled up in
four foot lengths there are many spaces
between sticks, caused by knots and
curvatures. These spaces are elm
mated when the wood is cut up small

Many years ago, at the beginning Of
November, a missive bearing the St

MANY Uses For Sawdust,

Sawdust is valuable, 1t can be used
for almost anything except food. Used
as an absorbent for nitroglycerin it
produces dynamite. Used with clay
and burned it produces a terra Gotta
brick full of small cavities that, owing
to its lightness and its properties as
q nonconductor, makes excellent fire
proof material for walls or floors.
Treating it with fused caustic alkali
produces oxalic acid. Treating it with
sulphuric acid and fermenting 1t with
the sugar so formed produces alcohol.
Mixed with suitable binder and COM
pressed it can be used for making
holdings and imitation carvings. If
mixed with portland cement it pro
duces a flooring materiaL-Philadel-

Stamina Diplomatic Notes.

No one can say exactly why our Sec
retaries Of state sign diplomatic COM
munications with their surnames only.
except that it has always been so. We
copied the custom from European chan
celleries, and it probably has its origin
in the habit of royalty. which is to
sign with one name only. Thus King
George of England signs himself
George, r. l." REX, Imperator-King.
Emperor; Sir Edward Grey signed al
ways as Grey" the democratic Mr..
Bryan when secretary of state affixed
his signature to diplomatic notes as
Bryan" At first sight there seems to
be a profound flattery implied in the
custom. 1t assumes that the signer
cannot be mistaken; that there is only
one George" and Grey" one "Bry
an" And generally there is only one
in the diplomatic world where these
exchanges take place.-New York Sun.

Effects of Arsenic.

arsenic. as science has long told US.
Is an accumulative poison" said q
druggist. when one takes 1t either by
prescription for the upbuilding Of an
appetite or for the bleaching Of the
skin he does not feel any Ill effects for
several years. The effect Of the drug
is bracing and makes a person feel
like eating. 1t also aids the digestion.
The average user Of the poison takes
it in such small quantities that he does
not realize how much of it will &C.
cumulate in his system in the course
Of four or five years.
Being an accumulative poison, 1t
often takes that length Of time TO see
the results of the drug. Then the user
may complain of not being able to con-
troll his fingers or toes. Subsequently
he loses control Of his hands and arms.
Paralysis, superinduced by arsenical
poisoning. is the fearful result"

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
Here's a funny thing, by the way,
that I've noticed about hotel guests:
You leave a soiled towel In a room
and the guest will probably complain,
but you can leave a bucket Of paint
and a paper hangers scaffold in the
hallway and compel the guest to crawl
under a stepladder to get to his room
and he will put up with it cheerfully.

papering by way Of making an i'm

that 1t doesn't cost much to make
over a carpet so that bare spot in
front of the dresser will be eliminated,
but such little details are a vast help
