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

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.

form f e

came 'in the nature pf a surprise to
most people, a certain amount of re-

In an interview with a London
Weekly Despatch representative, Gen.

that thepunishment sometimes con-
sieted in tying a man to the wheel of
. a wagon or to a tree and leaving him
there for some time, usually two
hours.
"This particular, form of punish-
ment," explained Sir Horace, "suc-
ceeded flogging, which was utast un-
desirable. It i^a a mental punishment,
as well as..a physical' of e,: anis its ef-
fect is usually very salatary. Natur-

the army he would realize that the
most!essentiai thing of all in face of
the enemy is the absolute mainten-
ance of discipline. For the morale and
strength of an army is in proportion
to its disciplinary standard.
"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.
It may be taken for granted that
whatever disciplinary measures the
army authorities adopt are only those
for very good reasons considered
highly desirable in the interests of
discipline,"

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."

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,-

This output will be within hailing

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

and soli during 1916. This is •practi-

that fully ane -half of the growing de-
mand comes o s f om country districts,
where the country lads and young
men find the 'bicycle a mighty handy
machine with which" to get to town
and back quickly and easily. As a
"fad" the bicycle has gone for ever;
as an article of exceptional utility it
is forging into popular favor, where
it will probably remain permanently.

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."

When the Ring was in Scotland re-

At the last minute, however,. his
Majesty was forced to cancel the en-
gagement, and a local notability was
hastily substituted; but the managers
of the affair thought it only right to
notify ticket purchasers- that royalty
would not be present.
Presently a small boy who was to
take part in the parade came along
with a request for two tickets for his
parents. He was told of the dis-
appointment in store for them.
