An English dog fancier and breeder, says Answers, uses the telephone in connection with his kennels in a novel and very effective manner, Close to the kennels is the kennel man‘s house,J and a telephone arrangement has been set up in every kennel. In case the | dogs are noisy at night, the kennel man speaks to the dogs by means of these instruments. and very soon the din subsides and the dogs go to sleep. They hear the voice of authority and obey. Sometimes a dog cries for loneâ€" 'liness, and the same means bring him comfort. That is not the only case in which an owner has used the telephone for comâ€" municating with his dog. _ Many of our readers probably know of inâ€" 1' stances similar to the following: } o y ‘s% 1 When the main dyke on Nicomen Island gave way for a quarter of a mile of its length and flooded 250 acres, the only thing that saved the whole island from being submerged was the old Gourlay dyke.
