HARD-WORKING SWISS DOGS They Are Used a Draft Animate and Are Not Always Well Treated. An amended law for the prevention of cruelty to animals, such as that which came Into force In England on New Year's day, Is much needed In Switzerland. Not that the Swiss as a nation are rmel to animals, one of the best proofs of which Is the num ber of sleek cats about. For when people have learned to be kind to cats they have generally learned to be fairly kind to animals In general. But, whether from thoughtlessness or some other cause, there Is a good deal to be desired In the way draft dogs are treated In Switzerland. Dogs, as every visitor to the country must have observed, are still employed there for drawing or helping to draw all kinds of light carts. Most milk- men and bakers employ dogs when taking around milk or bread. Butch era and vegetable fruit sellers also use them. These dogs are, of course, all ofstrong build, but of very differ ent breeds, those most commonly em ployed being of the St. Bernard or mastiff race. On a market dcy the streets of Berne are full of them. As a rule they do not look III fed and their harness fits them well. Never theless, It Is evident that they are often hard worked, for they may be peen lying stretched full length asleep on the cold, wet ground, or even on the snow, and this, after they have been heated by the exertion of pull ing, frequently causes pneumonia or rheumatism.

PLAN TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES Colonel Gorgaa Devising Improved Methods of Combating Pest In Canal Zone, Soldiers of the regular army whi are In the canal zone or are to go there for the purpose of defending the fortifications will be pleased to know that experiments are going on now with a kind of fortification that has to do especially with the health of that region. Col. William C. Gorgas, medical corps, U. S. A., chief sani tary officer, has worked out a scheme for a permanent lining of ditches Which will make them proof against fhe breeding activities of the mos quito. Having found that by P0H-' trolllnff the Incphatlon of Insects, the fever situation was always kept 1b hand, the sone sanitary department turned Its attention to the ditches which ar so fertile a place for the production of mosquitoes, and the Idea was hit upon of lining or "fortl. fylng" them agalnBt the mosquito, So now there Is being tried a Oatun a new scheme for permanent ditch lin ing with concrete blocks, made of a mixture of sand, cement and cinders. After a while there will be no chance for the poor mosquito at all In the zone. The army sanitarians are now making tests to ascertain the effect qf wind upon the travels pf the Insect, both against and with the prevailing air currents, and It Is thought that approximate or exact dnta along that line will pave a marked effect upon the cost of antl-malara work, No data are availablo to pliow that the anopheles, or malaria Inseots, ers blown by the wind or travel with it- Army and Navy Journal. ill T.

A novelist would find a veritable mine of dntn for stories of the severe life In the woods among any of the northern Indian tribes. During my stay among the Moutagnals at Lake St. John two families descended from their winter hunting grounds to the post, being forced on the way to boll their moccasins and pelfrles for soup to avoid starvation. Yet these same people were strong enough to travo) and attend to the necessities of their camp. Within five days they return ed again to the forest. The canvas tents, which have en tirely replaced the native birch bark wigwams, came Into general us about twenty -five years ago. The first Indians to Introduce them set up thelf tents and made camp In the space ol an hour without having to cut the numerous wigwam poles or dig away the snow underneath, while the old bark lodge required the snow to be cleared to the ground on account of the fire In tho center, the whole task consuming about two and one-hall hours. The box Iron stoves heat ths tents very well and consume less wood than the open fires.
