The Speedy Greyhound

There is the fastest animal that
runs on four legs" said a hunter as
he pointed at long. lank, sinewy
English greyhound that turned toward
us a countenance fairly beaming with
intelligence. II don't mean that par
ticular dog" he continued, but | do
mean his variety. and he Is not the
slowest member of 1t by any means.
We have Just been trying him under
careful timing. and found that he
went, when on a full gallop. twenty
yards a second. That means q mile In
a minute and twenty-eight seconds-a
speed that comes very near that OF
carrier pigeon and would leave far
behind that of any quadruped that we
know Of
This is q matter that have studied
and know something about. There
are few thoroughbred horses than can
exceed nineteen yards second. and
have known grayhounds to better that
by four yards. Foxhounds have a
record OF four miles in six and a half
minutes. or nearly eighteen yards a
second. That is fast going. and as
good as the most rapid OF the hare
family can do.
This speed Is to some extent an
inherited gift from away back. for |
have been informed that wolves can
run at the rate OF a mile in three min
utes. Nansen says that Siberian dogs
can travel forty-five miles on Ice in
fve hours"

The Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers at Johnson City. Tenn. which

pleted, be one of the most notable
groups OF buildings in that state. Aside

homo is to be completed In three
years. The site comprises a tract OF

mountains. The place is so delight
fully situated that 1t is believed 1t
will eventually become popular

hall and chapel, and a canteen similar
to those which were maintained at
army posts many years ego will be
