DOGS ASSIST LONDON POLICE
Well-Tralned Animals Have Been
Found of Great Help in Appro.
henslon of Criminals.
The present wave of crime han given
an lIpetus lin (retit Ilitaln to the
training of dogs for police purposes.
Polce logs were used to assist In
bringing the brleaker of laws to justice
before the word pollee was ever known.
In older days bloodhounds were i1sed
on the borders of Scotland lin certain
districts infested by murderers and
robbers, and a tax was laid on the in
htbitants for mailntalning thein; also
thero was a law In Scotland that who
ever detiled entrance to one of these
dogs should be treated as an accessory
to the critne.
The training of these dogs calls for
a large atinount of paitlence, litelligence
and resource, fair removed frot the old
Idea of dog breaking, which was usual
ly to beat the aitini muercllessly Into
the observanne of a few set rules.
It Is step by step In his dally lessons
that a dog gradually heion ies a track
er of criinluals by their sieti, pursues
escaping prisoners, discovers inissing
people, or finds suaspected ones iI con
cealment.

down anly aggressor, whet her Ills unas

NEW TEMPLE OF THE GODS
Beautiful Spot in Southern Utah That
Is Off the Beaten Trail of
the Tourist.
In the ordinary sense, no )art of
the United States properly can be
called ulinexplored. The new Temple
of the Gods, in southern Utah, is a
discovery as far as the average tour
Ist is concerned, though by no means
is It unexplored or "new" territory.
A bare 17 miles to the west runs the
well-traveled state highway from Salt
Lake City to the Grand canyon. An
old traIl branches off from the road
between Panultch and TroplIca, ii Ger
field county.
In the distance is Table Cliff
plateau, source of the Escalante riv
er; nearer, the broad amphitheater of
the Parla valley; at his feet the New
Temple itself, a veritable sunken gar
den, about one by three miles, of ex
quisite daintiness and beauty. Within
its tortuous wails of marl stand ob
elisks an( towers, castles and fort
resses, impressionistic statuaty and
ginat sculptures, kaleidoscopic in their
coloring and framed by the tufted yel
low pines and the red manzanita.
The startling color changes and
lighting effects of this great geological
stage are, indeed, its most extraordi
naltry feature. In the shifting rays of
sun and cloud, the tall, slender shafts
and ornamental turrets gleamni wlite,
glow suddenly to it cherry heat and
suddlenly cool to purple black.-T. C.

BIG GUNS MUST BE MOBILE
Otherwise In Future Wars They Will
Be Quickly Wiped Out if "Spot
ted" From Above.
While the war was in progress new
military Inventions and improvements
were for obvious reasons kept secret
in America. Now, however, they are
beginning to leak out.
For exanple, there is a new 14-Inch
gun, which is called "pride of the
army." All big gins In future- will
be made mobile (on raIls or drawn by
gasoline tractors), because otherwise
they would invite their own destrue
tion. With the help of "spotting" air
planes they might be quickly wiped
out.
The guns which now defend Amer.
lean senconst forts are stationary, and
the big ones of no larger callber than
12 inclies. They are to be replaced
by 1--inch rifles on mobile mounts, and
It is inanifest the plans of the fortifl
cations will have to be altered.
Newest American hattlesh ips carry
14-inch guns, whleh have beelh deeijed
the most effective weapons of their
type In the world. Some of them did
duty on land in France toward the
end of the war. But this new ritle (a
Sroduct of army ordnince experts'
hest in gentuity) is superior in severnl
rel)ects. It will throw at shell 35

It certainly was a strange sound

"Iflnry," she whispered, loudly.
"wake up at once, andu go downstairs!

"Yes, my dear," replied Henry,
nervously. "But I don't-"
"If you don't go at once." stated
his better half, "I will go tlyself !"
"I shall certainly go, MAnria," Henry
said with dignity ; then lie added, "if I
hear it again."
"No, go now," ordered Maria. "or~1
shall shriek for the police, and tell

TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
English Idea Is That Art May Help
the Sightless to Communicaute
With Oute!do Wor!d.
One of the many experiments of the
Royal Drawing society has been -to
teach people to draw by touch. The
ui1)1l is b1it.ldfolded atnd feels a simple
shape, like a hammer of a spade, and
draws it with his eyes open. An ad
vnneed plgtti has drawn the head of a
'eissical bust and the mask of Bee
thoven.
These experiments fired Mr. 0. B.
Ablett, the director of the society, with
the idea of dravintg by the blind. IIe
has devised a iedlium which looks like
the frosteil stuff oi a matchbox made
liquid. by which the (raughtsman can
follow by touch what he has drawn
and correct or add to his work. So far
there have been no experiments with a
blind pupil.
Mr. Alett does not claim for it more
than that a bilind man can draw the
plan or a design of something he
wishes to record and explain. A blind
gardener has been known to go into
ecstasies over the tinfolding shapes of
a plant, and the drawing of these
shapes. known to him by touch would
undoubtedly give him a form of es
theile pleasure. In any case, it would
increase his means of communicating
with the outside world.
A grent boon, if thei methiod is prne
ticable, would be that it would enable
the blitnd to write and to read writ
