A large Newfoundland dog saved e boy's life at Baltimore yesterday. The boy is Howard Connanbaugh, eight years old, and the dog, formerly a tramp, is now cared for by Edward Lynch. The boy and the dog were romping on the dock in the morning, when the boy accidently fell over board. There is twenty feet of water in the dook. The big Newfoundland saw the boy fall, and just as he came to the surface sprang into the dock and swam to the fast-sinking boy. The boy clutched the wooly hair ov the dog's neck, which kept him afloat, and then the dog started to swim with his burden to the other side of the dock. A man rushed to the resone, and when the dog reached the place, jumped into a rowboat and managed to pull both the dog and the boy out of the water. The dog became a hero in the eyes of the people who had been attracted to the soene, and he was given a first-class dinner for hie heroism. ~~ Baltimore Amerivan, — I —— A Theory About Musical Prodigies, 1t 1s believed by some who have ex- amined the histories of so-called mus. eal prodigies that they are developed by making when children the discov ery that the tips of their flogers will produce on a piano the same tims and tone they make with the tips of their tongues in their mouths, —Ne# York World.
