tied rope to the log; then, that he
might stop the log before it rolled too
far, he tied the other end of the rope
around his waist, John pulled the log

! RUBY IS JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through the
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint SuperstItions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July.
1t was associated In ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
cotaG have been palmed off on the pub
lie 1t is difficult to imagine. The fact
THAI the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than 1t is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that II ruby were worn about the
neck 1t conferred the power of seeing
in the dark. One wonders what monu-
mental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen
orally believed, however, possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. By the deepening
of Its color 1t forewarned Its wearer
against impending misfortune. II tied
upon the forehead in a linen cloth 1t
was believed to be a specific for dis
ease of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Variety in Bark Of Dog.

To the student of such matters. the
bark of dog can express every shade
of emotion from joy to terror. There
is the challenging bark of n Watchdog
There is the gayly trumpeting bark of
the dog who sees his master after
long absence or who is about to be
taken for Il walk. There is the har-
rowing bark of the pup that meets a
tortoise in mid-path for the first time
and there Is the scared bark of the
same pup when the turtle Kisses at
him. To one who has bothered to
make study of it, bark is as ex-
presslve of any of several emotions as
is human speech, ands is as easily
classified. Learned scientists. Lub-
book among them, have declared most
solemnly that the bark of a dog Is an
effort at initiating human speech. They
have backed this statement by prov
ing that wild dogs never bark. nor
do such few domestic dogs as have
been reared (by way of EXPERIMENT.
under conditions In which they have
never heard the human voice. No I'M

British Scientist Makes Daring

university professor, Joseph Bancroft,
