SPEED OF DOGS.
The Greyhound Ranks As The SWiftest of
Quadrupeds

Comparatively few people realize q
what remarkable speed dogs are capa
BILE. Some remarkable statistics in re
gard to this have been gathered by M
Dusolier, Frencher scientist
After pointing to the marvellous en-
urance shown by little fox terriers wh,
follow their masters patiently for hour
while the latter are riding on bicycle,
or in carriages, he says that even great
er endurance is shown by certain wil(
animals that are kin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between 81
and go miles in one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as well, if not better.
Naneen met one of these foxes on the
ice at point more than 20 miles north
west of the Sannikow territory, which
is 4so miles from the -Asiatic coast.
| Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel
45 miles on the ice in five hours, and
there is one case On record in which a
team of Eskimo dogs travelled six and
a half miles in % minutes.
According to M. Dusolier the speed
of the shepherd dogs and those used
for hunting ranges from 10 to Is yards
yards second. English settlers and
pointers hnnt at the rate of Is to 10
miles an hour, and they can maintain
this speed for at least two hours.
Foxhouuds are extraordinarily swift,
as is proved by the fact that dog of
this breed once beat thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in SIX mi
nutes and half, which was at the rate
Of nearly IS yards second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to. that of
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds.
which are carefully selected, and which
are used for coursing, are able to cover
at full gallop space between Is and
% yards every second.
How great All achievement this is
may be judged from the fact that a
thoroughbred horse rarely, if ever, ex
ceeds 10 yards. Moreover, it is said
that hare at its greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate of Is yards.
These interesting statistics are eX-
citing much comment among sports
men and other lovers of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that M. Dusolier
has fully proved the right of the grey
hound to rank as the swiftest of the
quadrupeds. Express engines only
surpass them.-London Mail.

What the Government Is Doing for the
Rivers.

Rivers.
1t is not generally known that the
Government, through the United
States Geological Survey, has beer
making careful study of the rivers
and the under. ground water supply Of
the Country. So important has this
work become, and so helpful to many
widely diversified interests, that spe
cial branch, known as the Division OF
Hydrography, has been organized tC
conduct it. This Division has been in
existence since 1888, and is pushing its
Investigations a rapidly as the appro
priations will admit. Broadly speak
ing its work consists of a careful in
spection of the habits and behavior of
rivers, i. e., the variation of the amount
of their flow throughout the year and
from year to year. This entails study
of their drainage basins and an aeon
rate measurement of their discharge.
The knowledge thus obtained is the
necessary foundation on which all en-
terprsses contemplating the use OF riv
ers must depend. In the East many
rivers valuable as a source of water
supply are under examination. In the
West for these purposes also and for
irrigation they are being measured.
The very important matter of river
pollution is one which demands the
same initial Investigations, and the
Government is rendering it's assistance
to check and avert this growing evil.
Out ON the Great Plains, where the
rivers are few and the rainfall is light,
the underground well waters, SO nee
essary to the inhabitants, are mapped
and thus made available.
A number of states in different parts
of the Country have seen the value of
this work and have made appropria-
tionS to have it continued within their
own borders more rapidly and fully
than the Government alone could af-
ford to conduct it. The Country I
water resources, which are among the
greatest it possesses are practically in
exhaustible and have but just begun
to be developed.

Ship Subsidy BadinaQe.

"There must be some awful mistake, y
saTcastically observes the New York
Evening Post, in the figures of the
Bureau of Navigation reporting Amer
ican shipbuilding for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1901.
whats this-1,17 vessels built, of
401 900 gross tons? A total tonnage
surpassed only twice in our whole his
tory? Why, this cannot be. 1t has
been proved, again and again, that
ships cannot be built in the Uni
ted States without a subsidy; so how
extremely impudent in the Commis-
sioner of Navigation to declare that
they are being built in greater num-
bers than for many years.
"This is very near giving Mr.. Hanna
the lie direct, aud We think that the
Commissioner should be removed. Ger
tainly the good of the service would
seem to require such a step. Oh else the
violent shutting up of the shipyards
whose owners are insolent enough to
build ships after Senator Frye had con-
clusively demonstrated to them that
they could not do it.
Anyhow, it is a comfort to know
that the Subsidy bill will be pushed
next winter. Depew has said that he
will ignore the ships and the facts and
declare again that all our yards will
rot and our flag disappear from the
ocean unless subsidies be granted. Tue
greater the number Of ships built with
out subsidy the more powerful the
argument for the subsidy. But, real
ly, the fgu1es ought to be suppr essed."
