Dogs Scent Not Infallible.

1t Is a common belief that police
dogs and bloodhounds can follow
trail whether of friend or stranger
merely by shifting some garment
worn by the fugitive. This is not
the case, it has developed in Berlin,
where repeated tests have been
made by Mai. Most of the Grun-
heide school for police dogs. A good
dog can follow his master If he has
recently been over the trail. but it
was not found possible to train the
animal to follow that of a stranger
or to pick up a cold scent. This con-
clusion was challenged, but tests did
not diSDroVe it.

In dismissing the cardinal the Pope
expressed great JOY at the complete
success of the congress.

METEOR SHOWERS
VISIBLE IN AUGUST
Specially Brilliant Display
Due on Tenth and Eleventh,
When Moon Is New.

Once again the August meteor
shower is starting, and on August 10
and II the display should he more
than usually prominent for on these
nights the moon will be just past new.
1t will therefore set early, and the
meteors Will flash brilliantly against
IA dar ll sky background.
These meteorS move in a swarm
around the sun, and in July and Au-
gust the earth reaches the part of its
orbit which crosses the path Of the
meteors. reaching the thickest part of
the swarm about August 10. These
meteOrS are all in rapid motion, so
when they encounter the earths at
moSphere the friction causes them to
heat up and glow. and perhaps leave
Il luminous trail in their wake.
Paths Seem to Converge.
When they come near the earth the
meteors are moving in practically
parallel paths. and as these paths
seem to converge in the distance, like
a railroad track. the meteOrs seem to
radiate from one point in the sky,
called the radiant. In the case of the
August meteOrS this radiant is in the
constellation of PerSeus, therefore the
shower is referred to as the PerSeidS.
Another name for them, though not
a scientific one, is the Tears of st.
Lawrence. for August 10 is his feast
day, and the anniversary of his mar
tyrdom. which occurred in 25S A. ID.
PerseuS rises in the northeast about
10 o'clock in the evening, and this
the shooting stars. Bright meteors
may easily be photographed. All that
is needed is to point the camera. at the
northeastern sky, then open the shut
ter and leave it perhopS for half an
hour, and If Il meteor crosses the sky
in this time it will appear on the de-
Veloped film as a long streak of light
owing to the motion of the earth,
which makes the stars, like the sun,
seem to cross the sky from east to
west, all the stars will move during
the exposure and will appear on the
negative, not as points of light, but
as streaks. The streaks from the stars,
however, will all he parallel and prob
ably much shorter, than q meteor
trail.
Pictures May Aid Science.
Such pictures might even have sci
entific value, for DR.. Willard j. Fisher
of the Harvard College Observatory
at Cambridge, Mass, is making an
exhaustive study of meteorS and has
been considerably aided by such anna
teur exposures.
ITO make a useful record" says DR..
Fisher. write down the standard
times of opening and closing the shut
ter and a statement of the place where
the exposures We're made. exact
enough to locate it on a good map.
The negatives. not prints would be
gladly received at the Harvard OBJ
servatory, where they would be
searched. Do not depend on your own
searching of the plates. for even if
they do not seem to show any meteor
trails, experienced observers may find
something.

The audience composed principally
of sightless students, at once rushed

the excited crowd. Then, manning
the exits and calming their fellow
