"CANNED" DOGS GUARD FRUIT Washington Orchardist Frightens Away Petty Thieves With the Use of Phonograph. An old-fashioned talking machine rigged in a beehive, with records of violent baiking by two frantic collie dogs Is the "police protection" Ed ward Delle uses in his orchard and vlnejard at Zillah, Washington. The record Is operated by an elec tric attachment. If a motor car is heard to slow down where the or chard touches the blgbwcQ^ the canned dog music is turned loose. It never has failed to discourage prospective purloiners of fruit. The day of the tourist has devel oped a new species of petty thief, who, while pilfering the farmers' fields, de stroys as much" as he^carrtes away. Every orchardist and melon grower whose land adjoins a highway is tor mented and robbed eveiy night by travelers. Delle's grapevines and peach trees are along the Sunset Iughway,**at a point wheie the Yakima river takes a bioad tutn and a clump of tiees hide that part of the orchard from the ranchhouse. Many tourists plan to drive along this road just after dusk and much fnut has been stolen eer summer. Since installing his barking appar atus, Delle li.is had no loss.es and more fun than two circuses might give him, watching folk climb back into cars and speed away. Neighbors declare they enn hear Delle's two "canned dogs" a mile away and that the effect is realistic. Twice Hooked Same Fish. A fish stoiy is told by on Alberta reader.

The reader says he knows it was the same spoon, as he had made it him self, and it was a very old pattern This remarkable fact shows that fish do not tiavel \tery much in summer. Turned From Sea to Stage. That Douglas Jen old, the great English dramatist, satirist, and one of the gieatest of English wits, started life as a sailor, was evidenced in his bearing even late in life. Jerrold's father was the manager of a^ theater, hut it was the sea that first lured the bo.\ Yet it Is interesting that wh*n Jerrold was only fifteen years old ne wiote a cornedv winch later was pro duced and started him on his stage career, s.i^s the Pittsburgh Chrouicle Telcgiaph. Eels Have Scales. Most persons regaid eels as the most slippery residents of the water, but the Investigating scientist says the eel is ci veied with a complete set of scales, quite as nicely arranged ajs those on the fish and employed for the same purpose, but their diminu ti\e size requires a powerful micro scope "to study them.
