Others pOint to the jackal as a possible ancestor of the modern dog. Dr. Konrad Loren; in his latest and most absorbing book, "Man Meets Dog," combines the two theories, suggesting that some dogs are. descended from wolves and others from jackals. However it happened, the dog has most certainly taken 'up residence with 'man; for better or worse. He isn't always the everfaithful goody-goody he's made out to be.

A, Sovereign. 1181 St. Clair West, `Toronto. Fer the first time it is now possible to record the exact, height of waves by means of a British-made sea-wave recorder which will be used during the coming spring by scientists of the Oceanographic Institution at Wood's Mole, Massachusetts. With this recorder they will be able ,to check *the accuracy or otherwise-of travellers' tales of "mountainous waves.' Wave heights vary, of course, accord- ing to the fury of a storm. The captain of an Atlantic liner reported years ago that during a sudden gale his ship encountered during the night waves "as high as a house." A specially constructed cam- era has already revealed that ordinary waves are from six to twelve feet high. In a high sea they may rise to twenty- seven feet; in a violent gale to thirty-six feet. The tidal wave that followed the Lisbon earthquake of 200 years ago, in 1755, is said to, have been sixty feet high. A tidal wave off Peru was so enormous that it lifted a small ship clean over a church and left it "a mile" inland. A tremendous wave seen by Sir James Douglas, „. the light- bOuSe s engineer, holds the re- cord of all scientifically ob- served waves. threw gravel from the sea- bed on to the platform of the lighthouse on the ,13ishop Rock, Scilly Isles. The platform is 120 -feet else-ye normal sea level and the sea is there 17.50 feet deep. As the wave must have snatched the gravel from the sea-bed in its path, its 'to'tal height from trough to crest was 270 feet. Careful investigation by a scientist indicates that in the North Atlantic, with not less than 600 miles Sea room, the height of Waves in bad weather is ahnott constant, the mini- mum being forty-three feet. The usual"leittli ;of such waves is 350 .feet.- ,although they may rtin to ,,890, feet, .. • WANTED do here?" he asked one of them. The clerk] fed up with red' tape, forms—and particu- larly efficiency experts — re- torted:, "I don't do a thing!" Making a note of it, the expert turned to the other 'clerk. "And what's your job?" Taking his cue from• his. colleague, the clerk, said:. "I ,don't do any- .thing , either.' The expert's ft ai eonr elit .up. nemm,' he mur- mured triumphantly. "Duplica- . The insult "comes under rep- artee. Two girls are talking. 'One says: `.1.1 refused to marry .Bob three months ago,. and he's been drinking ever since." The other smiles: "That's' 'what I call carrying a celebration too • far." There's also the double insult. At a lunchebn' party an actress noted, for, her jealousy looked significantly at Beatrice Lillie and said: "I dread to think of life at forty-five." "Why?" asked the nimble-witted come- d i e nn e. "What happened then?' she asked. A deadly shaft concerns the famous wit Dorothy Parker. When a friendly enemy said to her,' "I'm so" sorry, I completely forgot Your party last night," Miss Parker feigned surprise. "Oh, weren't you • there?" she asked. Then. there's the attention- , getter, a classic example of which concerns the college girl who got engaged. All next day she wore her ring but to her dismay none of her school friends noticed it.. The follow- ing morning, when they were all round her, she got up sud- denly. "It's awfully hot in here," ,She exclaimed. 'I think take my ring off. We've all met the man who must brag about his home town or county—like the Texan who had travelled East to attend the funeral of a friend who was thoroughly disliked in his com- munity. The minister was new to the parish so he called On someone to say a few words about the deceased. In the dead silence that followed the Texan got up.

He dropped on his - knees by the huge ,clog, kissing, its head 'frenziedly. "Poor Dick!", he groaned. "Poor, poor old. dog!" 'Wry found his grief Te- ther , touching., " .But he's dead, old chap,'.' he told him gently, "been dead for some time now."' . Later, „Hubert confessed to -the "murder"; 'he had really loved '. . the giant dog and couldn't bear to see ;him suffer old age.

So the servant .had., come to the terrible decision that he must put an end to his life of wretchedness. Fernand Wry kept the old servant's secret from. the Cosine tess.
