BREEDING DOGS WITH WOLVES
Darwln's Belief Was That Domestic
CANNES Represent Several Races
Of the Wild Animal.

Tn "Thc Origin of the Species" OAR
win expressed the opinion that the dog
was originally descended from the
wolf. He was inclined to think that
in different parts of the globe man
had tanned the particular. species or
wolf which would be found there, ana
that our domestic dogs, therefore, Yep
resent not one but several races Of the
wild animal, writes r. b. Townshend
In the Westminster Gazette. 1t has
long been known that dog and wolf
will interbrecd freely. lMiion, for
example, tells us that he made Such
cross successfully. Indeed, In Rus
sIa the Tsars long kept up n fierce
pack of hounds for wolf hunting In
which II strong strain of wolf was
evident. Unfortunately, few years
ago the little daughter of II huntsman,
crossing their kennel alone, stumbled
and fell, and the savage brutes set
upon her and devoured her on the
spot. The indignant tsar had the
whole pack destroyed.
Even in England the cross with the
wolf has been rcsorted To for otter
hounds in order to increase the conr-
uge and strength Of jaw of the dogs
But ms the first cross proved rather
too wild ana uncertain in temper for
safe handling, the masters of otter
hounds have always crossed back
again and again to the dog till there
remained perhaps only one sixty
fourth of wolf blood or even less.
This fact establishes the fertility OF
the hybrid between the wolf and IN,
dog when bred back to one of the
original parents, but so far there has
/ been no evidence To show how far the
/ hybrid. would be fertile when bret
together continuously. Recently, how
| ever, In the present century, this has
been tested by DR.. Alarlc Behm o
the Stockholm geological gardens
! who has given brief account of th'
results obtained by him.

British Major, Who Won Three High
Honors in Single Day, Describes Lat.
est Device Of Prussian DiaboIical In
genuity--Not Much Actual Execu.
tion Done With Device.
In the nomenclature of Teuton
frightfulness the world already is IA
milar with poison gas bombs, with
"hammerderfer, with trench mortar
pigs" Jack JOhnsons' and big .
Berthas." But the latest and most .
spectacular engine of war which the .
aerial fighter has to face is the "Flam- |
Ing Onions"
This extraordinary device of Prus- /
sian diabolical ingenuity was described
recently by Maj. w. a. Bishop, of the
British Royal Fying corps, greatest of
Canada's air fighters. Major Bishop,
though only twcnty-three years old and
weighing little more than hundred
pounds, has the distinction of having
received IN n single day from his SOW
ereign the Victoria Cross, the war
cross and the distinguished service or.
der, together with his promotion to his
present military rank. He is credited
with having brought down AZ enemy
planes, nine of them within two hours
and two observation balloons.
Tells of "Flaming Onions"
In his modest, almost ditlident man
ner, the young air fighter described
the claiming onions" something like
/ this:
1.-THE Huns have new device now,
with which they try to unnerve the
British airmen. We call these the fam
| ing Onions.' The onions are shot up
ward from some kind of Il mortar, the
intention being to direct them immedi-
ately into the path of advancing pla-
| tOOns of aviatorS. | don't know just
how they are made or how they are
managed. But If bunch of them is
fired ut you while you are flying over
enemy lines the first thing you see Is
big cluster of six or eight whirling
balls of fire coming at you from below.
They rise very rapidly-almost ms fast
as shrapnel
1.-THE bomb, on exploding, releases
these clusters of fire balls, which In
stantly hurst into flame. They all ro-
tate rapidly, giving off flames, so that
enCh of the balls seems to have po'
tentlnl diameter of five or six feet of
fire. They whirl rapidly about com
mon center with a lateral spinning mo-
, tion, spreading out apparently by cen
trifugal force from some common hui
or center, to which they are held IN
, some way The whole cluster has az
apparent radius about ms great as the
, spread of your plane from tip to tip.
Rather Disconcerting.
