THE DALLES MERCANTILE CO. 390, 392, 394 Second St. The Dalles Daily Chronicle. THE IULLKS OKKOOJi STRIP, Ao English "HE ELECTRICIAN. Dog Whoso Intelligence Ig simply marvelous. Many people in Brighton, England, are interested just now in watching the clever work of "Strip, the Electrician," who, after laying down many miles' - length of copper wire, for the purpose of electric lighting, in London, lias lately come to Brighton with the same olrject. Lest Sir. Edison should not att , .once recognize the name of his "collab . orzutricc," says the London Graphic, wo will -explain at once that "Strip" is a clever little fox terrier, the property of "Slessrs. Crompton, the electrical engi neers, and thai she is under the special protection of that company's night watchman. 'Stripes method of working is as fol lows: The workmen lay down in the de sired position a short length of the : stout iron pipe which is to shelter a cor responding length of the copper wire, - along which the electric current will ultimately pass. The iron pipe having been fixed, Strip is called, has the end of the copper wire fastened to her col lar, and, at the workman's sign, goes in at one end of the pipe "and comes out at the other end." says an intelligent but too hasty reader. Not so. however. The other end of the iron pipe has a bar across it. over which the copper wire must be strained to keep it taut. Strip, having entered the pipe with the wire fastened to her collar, presents herself at the other end to the workman await ing her there, who thrusts his hand un der the bar, unfastens Strip's collar, and draws it and the wire out. Strip, when she feels her collar gone, turns round, retraces her steps, comes out again at the same end she went in at, and lies down on the workmen's coats until she is wanted again. During the recent bitter cold weather Strip sometimes longed to shirk, and showed A Sure Care for Piles. Itching piles are known by moisture like perspiration, causing intense itching when warm.

STRIP, THE ELECTRICIAN a moment's hesitation when told to en ter the dark, cold iron pipe; but the kindness the true English workingman is ever ready to show to animals used always to provide a bone or two every morning to be kept handy for these moments of reluctance in Strip"s work ing1 day. With one of these tempting morsels the gallant little worker was then encouraged and rewarded, and all went well. The illustration is from a photograph taken at Brighton by Lieut. CoL F. K. Loyd, near whose house Strip has lately been working. What a Blind Alan Can Do. An example of marvelous industry and power to overcome adverse circum stances is given by Max Mayer, who was born blind in Berlin twenty-eight years ago. He received his first instruc tion from a teacher Of the blind and later attended the Sophien-Real gymna sium, a scientific college in Berlin. He was always among the best students in the college and passed a brilliant final - examination. He entered the Univer sity of Berlin a few years ago to study mathematics, mechanics and philosophy . He took the degree of Ph. D. a few weeks ago, preparing a dissertation upon the differential calculus which ex cited the admiration of his professors.
