A B.oundhound,s Keen Scent.

A remarkable exhibition Of the keen
ness of scent of the bloodhound was
given at the little town of Bronson, in
Allen county, the other day. The town
recently appropriated 500 out of the
city treasury for the purchase of one of
these animals, the purpose being the
detection and capture of thieves who
were operating in the neighborhood.
and test of the hound was considered
desirable. At noon three men started
out on foot and walked four miles into
the country. Then they mounted horses
and by circuitous route returned to
the town. Six hours later the hound
was permitted to smell a glove which
had been worn by one of the men, and
the next instant with a deep howl he
caught up the trail and followed it on
the run. At one point the men had
walked for 30 yards on a fence, and
when the hound came to this point he
carried his nose along the rail with
hardly any reduction of speed. Coming
to the place where the men had mount
ed, he took up the trail of the horses
and followed it into town, where, in a
crowd of more than 100men, he picked
out the one whose glove had been given
him to smell-Kansas City Journal.

How n Train sweep. Air Along.

Interesting results of an investiga-
ton of the effect produced by araiiroad
train on the air through which it moves
were presented at recent meeting of
the St. Louis Academy of Science by
Prof. F. E. Nipher. Itappears that mo-
ton is communicated to the atmosphere
many feet away, SO that q large amount
of air is dragged along with the train.
A peculiar danger arises near a swift
running train from the tendency of the
moving air to topple a person over, and
at the same time to communicate mo
ton of rotation to the body, which may
cause it to roll under the train.-Youth's

The state game and fish commits

Pioneer TTrass. Yesterday Executive
Agent Fullerton sent word to the
owner of Ferris lake, at Brainerd,
which the com mission has been us-
ing for the past two Or three years
for this purpose. that the lease would
be Cancelled ut the end of the year.
Ferri. lake was leased with the OBJ
ject Of making it the headquarters
tyr the propagation Of bass. 1t has
been stocked again and again, at
some considerable expense each time,
hut in every instance with no results.
No one seems know what the
trouble ia with the place. Many fish
die before reaching any size and the
resi-, when caught, are found to he
puny and yellow and of NO account
either for food or for breeding. 1t ie
thought by some that they did not
get enough to eat, and that their
emaciated appearance is due to this
cause. Ferris luke contains about
twenty acres.

however, that the jury evidently did
