Dog Recognizes Portrait.

In his "reminiscences Spy sketches my credulity. He had painted full length portrait of his host sst country house. When it was just finished he came down early one morning to in spect it--and found his hosts dog sit ting up begging before the portrait of his master.
 It was Apelles, the ancient painter, I think, who depicted grapes. so realis- tically that the very birds pecked at them. But in long association with dogs have never found one who could recognize figure or a landscape in a picture.
 The nearest approach to such intel ligence is when have set a looking glass on the floor and confronted q dog with his own likeness. He groWls sus- piciously, uncomfortably, until he walks behind to find the other dog that isn't there !-London Chronicle.

Animals and Proverbs.

It is singular at first sight how large- ly animals are referred to in proverbs, but since proverbs are built on mems lives and their observations, it is real ly not so odd.
 The docile sheep reminds one of obe- dient children or tractable servants ]; the strutting peacocks, with their large and beautiful tails, of gaudily dressed women; the rock-climbing goats, of bold adventurers; the cunning foxes, of unprincipled and shrewd tradesmen; the chirping crickets, of care-free mer- rymakers, and the slippery eel, of unre- liable employers.
 This readiness to see resemblances everywhere shows itself in proverbial silniles and comparisons-th man with a sluggish mind is "as stupid as an auk;;' a cheerful companion is "as happy as a clam;" the headstrong youth "as wild as buck" the diligent workman is "as busy as bee;' the courageous soldier is "as brave as a lion;' the neighbor who is lean and tall of stature is "as gaunt as grey hound '

SEE DEER AS FOOD SUPPLY
Belief That Animals Can Be Domes- ticated and Raised Like the
 Ordinary Live Stock.

There has been advocated the scheme of raising deer as a source of meat supply in this country. It is be- lieved that deer farming could be made as profitable as any other live stock industry.
 1t has been pointed out that the Vir- ginia deer and the Rocky mountain elk are best suited for this purpose. Elk have been acclimatized in many parts of the world and everywhere they show the same vigor and hardness. They adapt themselves to almost any environment and their increase under domestication is equal to that of ordi- nary cattle.
 It is contended that there are large areas of rough land in the United States, like the Ozarks and the Ale ghany regions, where elk could be profitably raised. The Virginia deer is adaptable to almost all parts of this country and thrives on land unsuited to horses.

Mecca for the Eat.

sGo to Mesopotamia and perspire" IS the reply of writer in the Seattle Post-Intelligcncer to person who Is searching for a reliable cure for fat. In that climate fat person simply melts and runs down. As early in the morn ing as daybreak one awakes to find himself bathed in precipitation. The 'coor' of the night means a tempera- ture of 90 degrees; by eleven o'clock the temperature rises to 120 degrees, and at midday the air simply burns the lungs. Nobody remains fat in Meso- potamia, and nobody works if it can be avoided, and Sulim tells me that it generally is avoided under the pretext of turning everything over to Allah. All this fat pilgrim needs in Mesopota- mia is somebody to support him. If this can be arranged, the fat takes care of itself. However, one might re duce, even in this climate, quite hand fly while looking for somebody to sup port one.

FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenchmen, Rivals in Love, Had Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
 One Hundred Years Ago.

The first battle in the air and the strangest duel in the long history of the field of honor was fought 11O years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen were ardent rivals for the affections of a woman, and so bitter did their quarrel become that only blood could wipe it out. Ordinary methods were too tame for these fiery spirits, so it was agreed that the duel should be fought from balloons. The cause of tha trouble agreed to marry the vTc- tor
 When the selected day arrived the two fighters and their seconds repaired to the meeting place, only to find a great crowd assembled, for word of the strange encounter had spread broadcast. The principals, however, were undeterred. Two balloons. pre- cisely alike, had been prepared, and into these they stepped To each was handed q carefully loaded blunderbuss.
 The word was given and the moor ings cast off. Slowly the balloons as cended, almost side by side. At the height of about half mile, when the great bags were but 80 yards apart, the signal was given and both men opened fire. Soon one of the balloons collapsed and crashed to the earth. The record says the woman kept her promise and married the victor of the aerial battle.

LIFE FIFTY CENTURIES AGO
Disccveries Show There Were Many Points of Resemblance to That
 of the Present Day.

Translation of prehistoric tablets in the University of Pennsylvania mu- scum at Philadelphia has revealed that women mayors were regularly consti- tuted public officials in Asia Minor 5000 years ago. That prototypes of newspaper men at that remote time, true to more modern traditions of the profession. occasionally became in- vclved in litigations of the present day libel suit" character, but generally were released lon bail' is also indi- cated in the newly deciphered writ ings.
 The translations which concern a once-powerful. well-organized govern ment and people of which nearly all trace has been lost through long for gotten centuries have just been com pleted by Dr. A. B. Sayce of Oxford university, famous oriental scholar. He copied the tablets two years ago and took the copies to Egypt, where he was finally able to master their time shrouded messages.
 The tablets were the work of Hit tites of canpadocians, whose national boundaries 50 centuries ago extended from the Mediterranean to the Black sea and from the headquarters of the Euphrates into what is now Persia. Each province was subdivided into cities, and these were supervised by a mayor and a prefectress, whose pow CTS the tablets indicate, were co-ordi- mated. In one instance it appeared the woman mayor had an official status in dependent of the male head of the "municipaI government.
 An insight into many other interest ing and hitherto unknown phases of life iii the ancient kingdoms whose lands comprised the present-day Meso- potamian battle grounds are afforded by Doctor Sayce's discoveries.

STUDY HOLDING OF CAMERA
Successful Work With the Instrument Depends Largely on Its Being in
 Proper Position.

Successful hand-camera work de- pends largely on the power to give slow shutter exposures with the cam era held in the hand, and in this con nection sufficient attention is rarely given to the matter of grip" It is not enough to hold the camera firmly aNlinst the chest or stomach The best position must be found by trial, and this will vary with different in- dividuals and different makes of camera. In general it will be found that the most comfortable position is the steadiest. At waist level the hands will be usually placed sym metrically on either side of the instru- ment, the right, near the release, for ward, and the other little behind. When the camera is held at eye level, one hand is usually held rather under the instrument as support, and the other grips the back or side, or with a folding type of camera both hands may grip the back. With the very small types, one hand often almost in closes the instrument and releases the shutter, whilst the other is used as q support. At eye level it is often a great assistance to steady aim to press the back of the camera against the cheek. Just as the feel of fa- vorite gun gives confidence, so the use of the camera should be familiar, and regular and systematic practice with the unloade6 camera will ha 8 great help in this. Trial exposures should be given from time to time, and the resulting negatives carefully ex- amined. At first fairly short exposures only should be given, to gain conf dence, gradually employing slower speeds as the hand is trained and nerve is acquired.

Easy Way to Measure Distances.

Boy scouts who are interested in emulating deeds of their older friends are practicing many engineering stunts. One of the most interesting is to measure distances without instru- ments and where the travel from point to point is impracticable. The method followed is one employed by Napoleon when his engineers sought to learn the distance across an unfordable river.
 The little corporal took position on the bank at the water edge, gazed across the stream until the opposite shore line was just discernible below the visor of his esp, then turned on his heel and spotted point at the same level up stream. After this he paced off the distance and had it approxi- mately correct

Grand Canyon an Inspiration.

An interesting example of the way the Grand canyon "gets" those who live a while with 1t is found in the technical, and to most of us the in comprehensible. reports of the govern ment topographers and geologists who studied it for years. Apparently, in spite of themselves, these men to whom rocks and canyons are the grim business of life often interrupt their dry, technical pages by brief bursts of enthusiasm. not inspired in the least by science, but by the pure emotion of sublimity.

Common Heather Dying Out.

In the case of such a plant as the common heather of England and Scot land, found growing wild in Nova Scotia, it is matter of curious inter- est to determine whether it is native to the soil or has been introduced from Europe. Lawson decided that the plant had it's home here. There was time. 1t is thought, when the plant was abun- dant in our northern lands, and it's present rare occurrence marks dying out of the species on this side of the ocean. Its vigorous growth in Europe is due to the circumstance that there 1t is young plant on virgin soil.

SO,9OO,OO0 bushels


 Of these cereals our shipments of the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year 1917-1S to Allied destinations were: Wheat 131, 100000 bushels and of rye 13,9OO,O00 bushels, total of 144,9O0,- GOO bushels.
 The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1916-17 were: Wheat 135, 100000 bushels and rye 23O0,00O bushels, a total of 137 100000 bushels. In addition some 10.OO0,000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port for Allied destinations or en route thereto TbA total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about Al, ,000,- GOO bushels, or total of 154,900,000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad- dition to this we have shipped soms 1OO0O.000 bushels to neutrals depend. ent upon us, and we have received some imports from other quarters.
 This accomplishment of our people in this matter stands out even more clearly if we bear in mind that we had available in the fiscal year 1916-1T from net carry-over and as surplus over our normal consumption about 200,000.000 bushels of wheat which we were ut1ie tt essf tthat year Mithnnt trenching on our home Ioaf,' Mr. Hoover said. This last year. however owing to the large failure of the l9l7 wheat crop. we had available from net carry-over and production and imports only just about our normal consump- ton. Therefore our, wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent ap- proximately savings from our own wheat bread
 "These figures, however do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice made during the past year by the whole American people. De spite the magnificent effort of our agri- cultural population in planting much Increased acreage in 1911, not only was there very large failure in wheat, but also the corn failed 10 mature prop erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
 II am sure. Mir. Hoover wrote in concluding his report, "that all the millions of our people, agricultural as we'll as urban, who have contributed to these results should feel a very definite satisfaction that in year of universal food shortages in the north. ern hemisphere all of those people joined together against Germany have come through into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship.
 1t is difficult to distinguish between various sections of our people-the homes, public eating places, food trades. ban or agricultural popula- fions-in assessing credit for these re- suits. but no one will deny the domi- nant part of the American women"
