The Bloolhoun /.

From an illustrated aztec in tls
June Century we quote the following:
''Some few Years ago the idea o, the
use of bloodhounds for dstestiv5 par
poses was mooted in the daily pt9srs,
and the howl of horror at the barbar-
ity of such a proceeding that it raised
from the uninformei was most amusing
to those who know the tractAbility OF
the bloodhound. He was associated
with the tales of slave-huuting in 'Un-
Gle Toms Cabin and bred, and WAS
supposed to be a ferociols monster,
endowed with witch-like attributes,
and capable of persuing his victim sue
cessfully under any conlitiol until
caught, when he would certainly tear
him limb from limb.
The horrible murders committed
in the East End of London last year
and the complete failure of the police
to trace the perpetrator OF those out
RACES were the means of calling attan-
tion once more to the qualifications OF
this old time detective. The daily
papers were filled with letters adyocat-
ing his use; but from the thoroughly
impracticable nature of many OF these
epistles, fear that the change IN pub
lie opinion was due more to a strong
desire for vengeance 90 an exception
ally loathsome miscreant than to in
creased knowledge of the bloodhound.
At one time the police received about
1900 letters daily containing variou:
suggestions, and of theie some 40C
proposed the use of blood hounds. Some
of the newspaper correspondents seem
ed TO believe that the police had only
the place where murder had beer
committed weeks or months before
and the animal would at once scent GU
the trail of the murderer in preference
to thousands Of others and infallibll
run the man down.
.In the beginning of October | wa

Temper ance legislation.

1t would indicate a deplordble and
un-American sameness of character il
we all agreed on such subject as
this. Neither is it to be expected that
similar measures will be advisable in
all cases. The most that we can hope
is to find our common principles, and
to act unitedly and aggressively so far
as we can; ready to make sacrifices in
minor matters of method for the sake
of agreement, and not standing stub
bornly for abstract principles at the
expense of practical results. Extrem-
lists must remember, too, that while
the moderate should be ready to
advance halfway to meet them in
matters of detail, they cannot be ex-
pected to yield single point Of
principle for the sake Of harmony. 1t
will therefore often be necessary for
those who would prefer to go the
furthest to make the greater conces-
sion. Those who believe that given
measure is best can ask no compromise
from those who believe that 1t is
wrong. Moderate measures are at
least right, even though they be not
the best 1t is true there are those
who declare uncompromisingly that
nothing but prohibition is right, and
who carry their belief to a logical con-
clusion. Certain of these in the Wesi
not long sicne complained that in q
local election they were only offered
the choice between high and low Ii
cense, and 50, as they could not con
scientiously vote for either, we're prac
tfcally disfrauchised. Evidently, it il
useless to count on the cooperation o
so sensitive consciences in the effort u
secure practical temperance legisla
ton. Still, there is reason to believe
that they are not very numerous
Probably they were all incl uded in thu

party's total vote was only about on
hundred and fifty thousand, and inclu

gical. Mr.. w. o. Stephens will receive in
few days. instruments and begin making
observations that only the U. s. signal service,
but the geological survey and the arid region
survey desire to obtain all the data possible in
regard to the rainfall. Owing to the peculiar
topography of this section, the observed ram
fall at one place does not give much evidence
as ts what it is in another. The rainfall on
the Grand Mesa is greater than in the valleys
but how much only a series of observations
could tell. If observations could be taken at
three or four places in the county, so selected
as to fairly represent all changes of climate,
in few years we should have enough data to
build theory and be able to reason on pro.
liabilities. Observations have been taken for
nearly year in the county. Miss Zaninetti
of Surface creek is now observing for the
Colorado Weather Bureau, taking mean and
maximum temperature, rainfall, direction of
wind and conditions of weather, so with our
