Dogs e<?metluijbM turn on the owners they love and "hlte the hand that feeds them," observes h writer Itt Feu rami's l.otalon Weekly. "In inuny eases." declines tin expert of the Uoyal Veterinary col lege, "these outbreaks are not due to madness, hut to forms of nervous strain which have their counterparts In the make-up of human beings. The queer brain 'kink* vrblch turns docile four-footed servant Into a ferocious assallaut Is really equivalent to a certain kind of nervous breakdown tn men and women." Dogs have "complexes," Just as we have. Everyone knows now that If a child suffers an unpleasant or terrifying experience, the memory of the incident often recurs and causes trouble In adult life. Hut few people reallee that puppies are affected In the same way. An owner may or may no| he aware that he Is treating a puppy fmdly. Hut the puppy retuexnbers. and, however perfect may be Its luter training, the fully-grown dog Is liable lo break out, forgetting all discipline, if the terror or misery of lis early suffering Is revived In Its mind by some chance association. For Instance, a child dressed. In red and playing with a puppy niay unintentionally Injure It. Later, a woman In a red dress may tread on the paw of the grown up dog. in a flash, all the earlier experience of pain and fear Is revived, the dog "panics" and attacks the cause of Its drend. 'l' r; ... Why the Japanese Beetle Spread Into Our Country The introduction of the Japanese beetle into this country was entirely accidental and the government would have given much to prevent It. During the summer of 1910 E. L. DIckerson and H. B. Weiss of the New Jersey 8tate Department of Agriculture collected a few beetles in a nursery near IUverton, N. J., of a species with which they were not familiar. They were later Identified by the burenu of entomology and plant quarantine as belonging to the same species as a beetle common to Japan, but not heretofore occurring In the United States. From the time of Its discovery this insect bus Increased and spread at a relatively rapid rate in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and in spite of the combined efforts of the United States Department of Agriculture and the state departments of the two states In question Its spread continues.' Why Mirror Inverts Image Ati ordinary mirror reflects light directly from Its entire surface, but ii concave or convex mirror reflects as if every distinct point on its surface were n separate and very small plane mirror. These mirrors produce upon light effects similar to those of lenses, except that the concave, mirror corresponds to the convex lens and the convex mirror to the concave lens. Now, as In a lens, from whatever direction rays of light may fall upon a concave mirror, they are brought to a focus near the central ray, and if they fall obliquely from one side of the axis of the mirror, they will be reflected at the same angle on tlie other side of the axis. Therefore the mirror will form an Inverted image of any object placed before It, Just as "the lens does, .and the Image will be near or distant, and large or small, according to the divergence of the approaching rays, just as frith lenses. Why Denver la So Named Denver Is named for Gen. James W. Denver, who lived from 1817 to 1892 and was the first territorial governor of Kansas.

He had been a California congressman. and then commissioner of Indian affairs and served during the Civil; war In the Union army. Why Giant* Are Mild Men Giants are usually uilld men becnuso they are not true giants, that is, grand specimens of humnnlty, but mere victims of over-active glnnds. Often the too-rapid growth of the bodv during ^childhood Involves the Impoverishment of the brain. But true giants mnst be Included among Nature's freaks, it was not without some foundation in fact that fairy tale writers portrayed their ; giants as fierce creatures. , Why Whisper* Are Easily Heard A whisper close to and along the smooth concave wall is continually, deflected .Inward upon itself by the wall, Is prevented form spreading, and is thus conducted with only slightly diminished Intensity to the other side of the dome. The sound, traveling by great circles, concentrates again at the opposite end of the diameter of which the sonnd is produced. Why Planets Chang# Color Change of color of small planets is a phenomenon unnoticed by astronomers. There cs a slight change to ward red as the star or planet sp proacbes the horizon, hut this Is due to atmospheric conditions or increased refraction and dispersion of light. ? Why Corduroy U So Called The name "corduroy" meaning king's cord, was first applied to the material In the .Seventeenth century, wh??. 1t composed the uniform of the French king's huntsmen.
