DOG FULL OF TRICKS

BUT THIS PUP IS AN ELECTRICAL AFFAIR. Invented by John Haya Hammond and B. F. Meister—Controlled by Light Raya It Will Do Many Interesting Things. In the Popular Science Monthly appears an interesting article by B»- F. Meister, describing «the famous electric dog which was invented by the author in collaboration with John Hays Hammond; Jr. In speaking of the tricks of his mechanical pet, the writer says: “The electrical dog, which John Hays Hammond, Jr., and I designed, has no tall to wag and no voice" to bark with, but he ean follow a person about in a most surprising way. “Like the sunflower that follows the tnn inits path across the 'heavens, my first apparatus was capable of turning itself only to face the object that stimulated it. But a great difficulty had to be overcome. The stimulant was light, and sometimes the dog saw too much light, so that he behaved occasionally in an astonishingly erratic manner. “Just how grave a difficulty this disobedience really it, was illustrated by an amusing incident during a demonstration at a Chicago theater. “The dog was ready to spring into action, but when the stage was lighted, Instead of obeying the flashlight held In my hands, the dog insisted on paying attention to a very alluring but apt thickly clothed young woman painted on the scenery near by. It seems that the reflected light from the painting was sufficiently brilliant to compete with the flashlight and to cause the dog to creep to this fairer attraction with a directness which was almost uncanny. all practical intents and purposes, the electrical dog is a dead dog until excited by an external light ray—usually a pocket flashlight, held in the hand. Fastened to the front of a squat, oblong box on three rollerlike wheels, are two great lenses, the eyes through which the dog receives his intelligence. Behind the lenses are two extremely sensitive cells containing the black, waxllke selenium. A peculiarity of selenium is that it is sensitive only to light rays; or, to put the facts a little more* technically selenium is a nonconductor of electric currents until it is struck by light, when it becomes a conductor. Located behind th# selenium eyes is an arrangement of relays, batteries, magnets and a motor. When a beam of light strikes one of the selenium cells, it causes a relay to be operated which, in turn, causes current to flow through one of the magnets controlling the steering wheel. The driving motor starts and the dog is under way. Shift the light bo it strikes the other selenium eye and the dog moves in the other direction, in other words, in whichever direction the light travels there also will the dog go. By reversing a switch on the outside of the box, - the dog can be made to back away from the light. Illuminating both cells equally causes the dog to move in a straight line.

VAST WEALTH OF ABYSSINIA

Country Has Remarkable Agricultural Resources and la Developing Rap- _ Idly Under Native Rulers. Oulzero Zeodlta, daughter of the late Menellk, has been proclaimed empress of Abyssinia, says the Christian Jerald. She is forty years old. The empress succeeds Emperor Lldj Jeassu, who has been deposed. Abyssinia Is one of the most interesting nations of the earth. It is the Switzerland of Africa. It is one-third larger than Great Britain. It occupies the mountainous regions of the valley of the Upper Nile, extending to the lower end of the Red Sea and over the watershed toward the Indian ocean. The land is fertile, yielding the products of all climes, some of them three crops a year. Bananas, dates, sugar, cbtton, grapes, oranges, lemons and coffee' all flourish, and on the tablelands, hay, oats and barley are cultivated. Abyssinia is the only independent native state ,in Africa. It has fine public improvements and conveniences of civilized living, Abyssinia is the Ethiopia of ancient history.

Brown-Tall Moth Gone.

Success seems to have attended the 'efforts to exterminate the brown-tail moth, which has for years been the object of a warfare by the United States government as well as the states which have been ravaged by this pest. Lighthouses along the coast of Connecticut and Long Island have been examined, but no migrating moths have been found. Fewer moths have been found on trains coming from Infested regions during the season when the ninths are flying .. .than In any previous year. Hence this serious pest is believed not to be spreading, If indeed not actually

New and Novel Device.

A big American steel company has adopted a novel device for unloading pig-iron from the holds of freight vessels. In place of stevedores, the company uses powerful magnets each 'of which has a lifting power of 4,500 pounds. Three such magnets were recently used in unloading a vessel, and made a record of unloading 4;000,000 pounds In ten hours, at a cost of SIOO. This represents a saving of SSOO, ft Is said, over the cost of handling by long? shoremen.

YES, LAUGH AT YOURSELF

Much Wisdom Is Needed If Ws AM ' Bee Ourselves as Others See Us. Laughter is a mark of intelligence only when one is able to laugh at himself, to smile with others at his own awkwardness, whims, shortcomings and personal peculiar!ties, , remarks the New York Tribune. One needs a certain amount of wisdom in order to know when he is making himself ridiculous. He ipust be big enough and wise enough to put himself in another’s place and see himself as others see him. It is then that laughter serves the purpose of a corrective and a means of self-discipline. But this requires a certain breadth of vision which not everyone possesses. Lincoln had it, and with all the sadness and tragedy of his life this ability to laugh at himself kept him sweet and human, saved his wit from irony and cynicism, and enabled him to laugh, not at people but with them. It is this trait of quaint self-ridicule and aloofness from that petty sense of dignity which spurns self-criticism which constitutes the true sense of humor. All the great humorists, from Aristophanes to Mark Twain havq had it. Half the fun of life must be enjoyed at one’s own expense. ' A man may be dead in earnest in his devotion to some great cause, as was Lincoln, yet keep his faith in himself and his ideals. It is this sense of humor which preserves balance and saves a man from bigotry and fanaticism. For want of it among good people and reformers many a noble cause has failed and many a moral ideal has been rendered almost unendurable.

OFTEN LATENT FOR YEARS

Minnesota Physlcith Explains RaaVSHT for Tuberculosis Infection in Entire Families. “If tuberculosis is not hereditary why is it usually found in most of the members of an infected family?” The reason, according to Dr. L J. Murphy of the Minnesota Public Health association, is this: “The first case in a family usually infects all the other members of the family before the case is diagnosed ot sent to a sanatorium. “Infection of other members of a family can be prevented, as a rule, only by removing the source of the infection to a sanatorium,” adds Doctor Murphy. “Children especially should be safeguarded from individuals who may be casting off tubercle bacilli in their sputum or mouth spray. Today authorities, agreeth at childhood is tbfl period of infection. “Most of those who develop consumptom in adult life have carried the latent infection from childhood and have not received a new infection at the time the symptoms appear. The extremely heavy death rate from tuberculosis between the ages of twenty and - thirty is due to childhood infections which are ‘lit up’ by the various forms of life strains to which young adults are subjected. “The onset of tuberculosis is very insidious. In case of doubt consult a physician. A cough lasting more than three weeks, a daily afternoon flushing, a steady loss in weight, frequent hoarseness, easy tiring, indigestion, and a blood-stained sputum are some of the early signs, any one of which should call for a thorough examination. Grown-ups who have been intimately exposed during childhood should report also for periodical_£X*alnlnations.”

One-Step Not New.

If you’ve been doing the one-step un. der the impression you’re being modern, forget it and go to learning the minuet or some other reasonably upto date dance —take It on the word of James E. Cogan of Washington. Mr. Cogan, who Is here on a visit told Broadway he had danced the one-step as far back as 35 years ago—and, In fact, had invented it himself. The other night Cogan strolled down the great white way to renew memories of th© city and chance led him into a big restaurant along the Rialto, where, after a few minutes of obstlnation he was persuaded to try his hand—that is, feet, of Aurse—at a dance. What was his surprise to find he could not only do the one-step, but could do it as well as any of those on the floor. And then he discovered the one-step was really not new at all, “I danced that as far hack as forty years ago,” he declared. “In fact, I invented it.” Wherefore, Mr. Dancer, what do you mean, modernism ?—New York Correspondence Pittsburgh; Dispatch.

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS

Disciples of the Lord Must Follow the Pathway Directed by the Master. The great model from which specimen copies are drawn to illustrate the original of anything is natureand what Is akin to it- Since existence follows the order of nature, as effect does cause, there is no product to precede it Nothing, in fact, compares with nature. -To imitate nature is to get close to It, to be natural in what we say and do. Every achievement of glory, sculpture, painting, or whatever else may be accomplished after the manner of men, new and perfect in themselves, becomes at once a sample pattern, example, the form for others to represent and reproduce. To busy ourselves with facsimile work that accords with what nature reveals to us is to be true to nature. . * If a touch of nature makes all the world kin, the kinship we bear each other in whatever succeeds will relatively pass to benefit mankind. It befits men in all walks of life to acquire acts of faith, hope and love. Opposed to them may be observed the sad, harrowing exhibitions of folly that overshadows nearly every surrounding. Examples good and bad qualify character ; character, in turn, specifies the sort, substance and conditions of life’s doings. We find nothing new in substance, nothing old in form, yet quantity measures both. Weighed in the balance, vice, contrary to virtue, is always found wanting. There is no rest for the weary obsessed with crime. The mission to teach and do exactly what was exemplified and taught the apostles by the great Master infers a hearing and implies the request for the holding of that commission on the part of men and nations to whom the twelve were sent to preach and obey as commande^j^that they in turn should be the specimen copies, exhibits, apostolic examples in repeating all they had beard and seen done. Nothing less or more was exacted of them other than to be what Christ was to them. Vice Cunningly Hidden. As such men would know they were the disciples of the Lord. The disciple is not greater than his master, any more than a copy is greater than the original. To learn the Master’s meekness and humility of heart was to reproduce in themselves the same only as foqnd exemplified in him. Theoretic presiding alone would not suffice, as more of them, to be in habit and practice exemplars of the Savior’s virtues. The ideal nicety of virtue and happiness appeals to all. Still there can be no denial that they who know and thrive upon the evil of the world dress vice in its most alluring form. Aware,of its own hideousness vice dissembles itself in the garb of the true and the good to conceal its blots and blemlshfes. Making forßighteouaneas. Precept and injunction are excellent methods to adopt jin teaching, but demonstration is mote effective to obtain results. “Suffer little children to come unto me,” is explanatory of the Savior’s mode of instruction when, lifting the little child to his arms, he declared suchlike Innocence and simplicity must be found in” men before they come to the abiding place of his Father. Good principles practiced at work or play make for righteousness. Hence the good we promote will uplift and add to the betterment of all classes to higher stages of perfection, at the same time being conscious of personal errors, to be always and ever considerate of the failings and misfortunes of others. Then: Speak of a man as you And him, Censure alone what you see; If a man errs remind him, For of faults there’s none of us free.

TREASURES IN THE BIBLE

How Many Neglect the Wpalth That la Beyond All Price, Found Only - •: - Some time ago an old man in New Jersey found >5,000 scattered in bills of large denominations through the family Bible. In 1874 this man’s aunt died, and a paragraph of her will read as follows: “To my beloved nephew I will fend bequeath ,my family Bible and all it contains, w(fh the residue of my estate after my funeral expenses and just lawful debts are paid." The estate amounted to only * few hundred dollars, which was soon spent, and her nephew, neglecting to the Bible, did not find the treasure put there for him. He lived in poverty all that time, and it was while packing up his things to remove to his son’s home for the remainder of Jiis days that lie discovered the money. How many people miss the precious treasures that are placed in the Bible for them by a failure to read its pages! How many rejoice in having found Christ in the blessed Book worth more than all the money of all the banks, the pearl of great price worth more than all the costly jewels of the earth! Christ thus bids ua all to secure thia”^wealth: "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me." (John 5:39.) - ...m •

Ticket Collector's "Nip" Was Not Coming Out of Flask That Belonged to Canny Scotsman. Sir John JelllCoe, the latest recipient of the greatly coveted British Order of Merit, told a good story recently of a train journey he took one bitterly cold night on a local line In Scotland. His only fellow traveler In the same compartment was a Scotsman, and he had just drawn his flask from his pocket when the train stopped at a little country station and the door opened. “Tickets, please,” said the shivering collector, with a longing look at the flask. . “00, aye,” observed the Scotsman as he fumbled In his pockets. “Wull ye take a nip?” The ticket collector looked up and down, and as the coast was clear he remarked that he didn’t mind if he did. / The traveler-handed him the ticket. “Take it oot o’ that, then,” was all be said, and he transferred his attention to the flask. ’
