DOG RELAYS CALL OF PHONE
Well-Trained Animal Said Never to
Make 4 Mistake In Notifying
His Mistress.

Not far from Boston lives dog by
the name of Timbuctoo, a dog which
has never been trained but which Of
its own accord acquired a trick"
which besides being clever Is decidedly
helpful. His home is on farm, which
is served by seven-party telephone
line. The call at Tmbuctoo's house
is five bells, or as the toll operator
would say. "Ring five." Wherever his
mistress is when the telephone rings
five times Timbuctoo will 60 to her
and give five short, sharp barks. He
has never been known to make mis-
take either by barking more or less
than five barks, or by calling his mis-.
tress when the bell rings some other
call.
In order to "show of Timbuctoo,'
his mistress asks a neighbor to call
her in a few minutes, then she goes
somewhere out Of range of the tele
phone, and Timbuctoo never fails T.
give proof of his trustworthy sum
moning.

Cadets Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets
of Victoria, B. c., have recently COM
pleted a 1,400-mile ride on bicycles,
bearing dispatches from the state COM
mandant to the minister for defense.
The small. riders averaged more than
IA miles an hour, and they completed
their task 6 hours and % minutes
ahead Of schedule. This fine perform
ance reused public interest in the new
system Of cadet training, which has
taken the place Of the monotonous
drill-yard evolutions. Australia Is
training Its youngest soldiers In
camaraderie, self-sacriice, alertness
and love of athletics. The story of
the 1,40O-mile ride against unex.
pected obstacles has set standard
which will not be easily forgotten by
the Australian boy. While the dis
patch ride has done much to direct
attention to happier system Of train.
ing, it has also served to awaken the
interest of fathers end elder brothers

ton. Doctor LOOMS called his discov.
cry "aerial telegraphy." His first pub
lie demonstration was made in 1866
from the two peaks Of the Blue Ridge
mountains In Virginia, some IS miles
apart. From each peak an ordinar,
kite was elevated, connected with al
insulated copper wire attached at thu
lower end to telegraphing appa
ratus. The operators of each part,
were provided with telescopes, witt
which they could sight from one sta
ton to the other and read the signals
When all was In readiness a messag
was sent by the doctor along the wir
of his kite, and was received at tn
station on the other mountain top jus
as though the two kites had been cor
nected with wire In the ordinar
way. In this manner communication
were kept up until the fact was tho
oughly demonstrated that telegraphin
could be done as readily without q
with connecting wires.
