In developing dogs for every
possible purpose, breeders
have neglected no feature or
trait, not even the bark. In
certain breeds the bark has
been literally bred out of the
dog. Generation after gener-
alton, it has been taught to
be mute, generally because
its chief use was for still
hunting and a bark, howl, or
whine would give the alarm.
Good gun dogs-the settlers, or
large land spaniels, and the point
ers which freeze into a statuelike
point" at the hidden game birds
located by body scent-hunt stealth
lily, without a sound. But that char
acteristic was not acquired quickly
or painlessly.
During the Middle ages, when
much time was devoted to the
chase, the progenitors of our
present-day hunting dogs were de-
veloped. Our modern pointers and
settlers work so silently and eff
ficiently largely because their re-
mote ancestors suffered many a
whack from rough medieval hands
every time they opened their
mouths. AK
Springer Popular at Present.
The springer spaniel, perhaps the
most popular all-round shooting
dog of the present time, was origi-
nally one that gave tongue while
hunting. The process of developing
a silent strain was observed in
Pe1nbrokeshire, Wales, where a
man had fine kennel of springer
spaniels, a breed that gets its name
from its skill in flushing, or Spring
ing" pheasants and other game
birds. Sometimes one of his spring
er spaniel dogs, in the excitement
of the hunt, would forget itself and
give tongue. On returning home
that dog would be destroyed. The
owner was determined to develop
breed of soundless or "mute"
hunting dogs, and was not averse
to harsh methods to gain his end.
At a recent Virginia field trial
for spaniels springer gave tongue
while hunting pheasant. It was
only the tiniest hint of a bark, emit
ted by highly strung animal in
a moment of excitement. Yet, for

At present manufacturers are handi-
capped by the fact that their business

about seven times that of the mid

ICE so COLD THAT II BURNS
Drawn by MeNsrnsy
Continued from poss four

Most of the dry ice on the market
today is made by burning coke -
which is almost pure carbon - under
carefully controlled conditions. The
coke merges with oxygen from the air
to produce carbon dioxide. One ton of
the fuel produces about two tons of
gas. In this operation. heat is the by
product 1t is used to fire boilers for
the generation of electricity, which
runs the big gas compressors.
But before the carbon dioxide can
be made into dry ice, it first must be
purified. The deodorizing process is
particularly important. If it is omitted
the melting ice is apt to give out fumes
of the blast furnace or chimney.
Once the gas is in its pure state it is
piped into the compressors. Generally
speaking, three stages of compression

liquid. This liquid then goes into an
expansion chamber. Allowed to spray
out through a nozzle, it forms fakes of
dry ice" popcorn snow" to the trade.
This is a slushy, watery stuff. A heavy
hydraulic press squeezes it into great
slabs of dry ice. The refuse gas that
accompanies this operation goes back
to the compressors.
The large slabs of ice are twenty
inches long, twenty inches wide and
ten inches thick. They weigh about
22O pounds. Conveyor belts carry these
slabs through band saws that cut them
