Exeter Times, 1916-12-21, Page 34 1 YOUNG OLS The Doy That Carries the Lantern. Late every In the fall and early winter, when the sun'goesclown and the shadows get thick under the ` trees in the yard, Mrs. Raymond takes down a lantern that hangs in her kit- chen and gives it to . Rusty, the big collie. Rusty takes the• handle into his mouth and holds his head high, partly to keep the lantern from touching the .ef ground and partly because he is proud '..ttp be trusted on an important errand, Then he trots ohat ff along a winding, path ` Aleads through the 'woods to the ;railway station about a quarter of a , mile away. There he waits on the 1'tbrings platform for the train that 11Ir. Raymondfrom the city. Then Mr. Raymond lights the laotern and gives it back to Rusty, and the two set off together along . the winding path to the house, where a good supper is waiting' for both of them. • The path through the woods is a short cut. The distance from the house to the station is much farther by way of the street, and that is the reason Mr. Raymond always uses the path when he goes to take his train in the morning and when he comes back at night. -'if,' by any chance, Mrs, Raymond forgets to give Rusty the lantern when train time is near, he goes to the place where the lantern. -hangs in the kitch- en, and barks. And if 'the train ;.whistles while he is on his way tough the woods, how he runs! But • never drops the lantern, even when • ersons who happen to be the sta tion pat his head and talk to him while he is waiting for his master to ar- rive. When spring comes, and the days • get so long that no lantern is needed. Rusty usually meets his master just the same—not every night, to be sure,. but always unless there- is something important that he and Louis happen to be doing, ' But in the fall and winter months, when he knows that his mas- ter depends on him, he is on the plat- form with the lantern every night when the train stops.. Did I say "every night"? That is ' not quite true. In the past three years there has been just one'night that Rusty has missed, and that was last month. It was net the ldnd of failure, however, that puts a blade.' mark against him, as you shall see.. I On that night he started for the sta 1 tion as usual, with the lantern bump-! ing against him as he trotted slowly, along. There was ample time, and so he did not hupry. Just as he was. passing -through a little hollow about halfway through the woods, he heard something off to one side of the path that made him stop short. It was the sound of a child crying, and Rusty, thefriend of every boy and girl in town, knew that it was his duty to find out what was wrong. He dropped the lantern and with a friendly little bark leaped into the woods. It was not yet very dark under the big trees, and Rusty's eyes were keen. He saw a little girl sit- tingwas on the ground. It Martha Royce, one of his neighbors, and she knew him as quickly as he knew her. "0 Rusty," she sobbed, "I knew some one would come some time,` but it has seemed awfully longe You see, - I went to the store to get some Hal- loween things and I took the short cut home, and it was getting dark and I stumbled over a stone and hurt my ankle so that I can't stand. I've call- ed, but the old engine in the freight yard makes so much noise that no one iipirs hears me. And it's getting awfully dark, Rusty, and you must help me!" She rattled on with her story to Rusty;' just as if shel expected him to understand every- word she said -and who knows but that he did ? Any- way, he barked again, and pushed his nose against Martha's cheek and lick-' ed her hands to show his' sympathy. Then he leaped away through the woods as fast as he could go—not to- j' ward the station, but toward Martha's I home. . A little later he was barking and' seratching at the door there until Mr.l Royce opened it to see what the mat-; ter was. Rusty .barked louder, and lien seized Mr. Royce's coat in his e u'etb and pulled with all his strength, i iefWhat is it Rusty? What' in the orld do you want of me?" asked!' Mr. Royce. "Oh, it's about Martha, I know!" exclaimed Mrs. Royce, hurrying to the door. "She, ought to have been here before this time, . You must go with him 1" -.Aka-Royce did not stop to get his at, but ran after Rusty toward the woodsand along• the path, and in an- other minutes he•had Martha safe in his arms. , • Then Rusty remembered his errand and picked up the lantern that he had :hopped. But he had not gone far when he met his master making his way homeward in the dark. "Why, Rusty, you bad dog!" ex- claimed Mr. Raymond. "What made you so late?" • Of course Rusty could not explain, and he felt very sorrowful as he trat- ted home behind his master, A lit- ' tle later in the evening Mr, Royce came eve/to the tayinond home and -told thein what Rusty had done, and then they. all petted Rusty •and talked to him until he was velay'ha}lpy again. Do you wonder that everyone in the neighborhood, and especially Martha ankle was soon Sass tt strol7g again,—thinks that Rusty Is .a won- derful dog? ---'youth's Companion.

Made in Canada BATTLING UNDER THE SEA. Microphones, or Electrical Ears, For Submarines. Although the submarine is blind after it dives, it can be made to hear with the aid of microphones, or elec- trical ears. Mr. Edward F. Chand- ler an inventor who has made a study y of submarine problems, has invented ' a method by which he believes a sub- merged craft may direct its course • toward a hostile ship. In describing the process in Popular` Science Monthly, he says: In the mod- ern telephone the transmitter is es- sentially a microphone, and the _pres- sure of the sound waves is oommuni- t cated to the conductors by means of a diaphragm. The submarine, equipped for battle under the sea, is provided with microphones on the pert and ' starboard bows. Telephones • enable the submarine commander to listen to the sounds gathered by the micro- , phones. If the submarine is not pointed head-on toward the ship it means to I attack, the microphones on the off-_ side will receive fewer vibrations than the others, and the difference in the volume of sound received by the ,two microphone detectors will be observed at once by the telephone receivers. The commander will then change his course until he hears equally well with both earpieces. Although it is perfectly feasible to direct a submarine by telephone, it is much more effective to convert the microphone vibrations into visual sounds. As a result, the commander of a submarine has only to watch a finger move, over •a diel in order to know what course be should steer. In a sense,•he sees the sound that the microphone ddetectors hear. A visual steering indicator is pri- marily .depended upon to guide the submarine, but telephones are con- nected with the microphones, to be usecl when occasion arises. With their aid, one underwater sound can be dis- tinguished is- tin ui hed from another s o and be inter- preted correctly.A pl tramp amp- steamer may be • micr ophonically distinguished from a Mauretania, a. torpedo boat from a superdreadnought, and, above all, a subsurface craft from a surface craft. Thus you can tell the character of an unseen ship while it is still a long distance off. "CRUCIFIXION" NOT SERIOUS.

"The offenders who are sentenced to the punishment 'called by some 'crucifixion' generally feel more acute- ly -the ridicule of their comrades than the physical discomfort experienced.

THE "ANNOTATED GUIDE.". • An Interesting • Volume Issued by the C.P.R. No publication issued by the Can- adian Pacific Railway is better known all over the world than the "An- notated Guide," describing every sta- tion along the line. Issued originally at the suggestion of Sir William Van Horne, it has passed through many editions and is now a fair-sized book owing to the great increase in the ex- tent of the railway system. It is in- teresting to look over the early issues to see how Canada has progressed. In 1888, for instance, Winnipeg had a population of only 25,000, Fort Wil- liam 1,400, Regina 800, Calgary 2,- 400, Lake Louise had not been discov- ered, and Vancouver was proud of its 5,200. Indian Head was famous for the Bell Farm, of which the "Annot- ated guide" remarks: "The furrows on this farm are usually ploughed four miles long, and to plough one furrow outward and another returning is a half 'day's work fora man and team. The work is done with an almost mili- tary organization, ploughing by bri- gades and reaping by divisions." To- ronto is described as "distinctly West- ern in its activity and energy." es— BICYCLES AGAIN POPULAR. Manufacturers in Canada and United States Have Produced 700,000 Compared With 350,000 in 1915. .The Wall Street Journal the other day drew attention to the fact that ?this year has seen 'tile return of the bicycle to popular favor, and to satisfy the renewed demand the manufacturers in U the f S. thisear put out 600,000 bicycles, compared ' with 800,000 in 1915. More "bikes" I would have been 'made this year ex- cept for the shortage of tubing and of labor. The doubling of production compared with 1915 has not satisfied the demand, and the slogan among the manufacturers for 1917 is "1,000,- 000 bicycles." This output will be within hailing the distance ofrecordbicycle produc- tion reached in the years 1895-97, When bicycles were turned out at the rate of over 1,200,000 per annum, in Canada the rejuvenation of the bicycle is equally marked, dearly 100,000 machines being manufactured and soli during 1916. This is •practi- cally a doubling up cat the sales of 19.15, and but for the shortage of labor and tubing the number would have been still further increased.
