lied the railroads entering wheeling.
1t will be several days before nor
NAL condition OF affairs is restored and
trains are running in all directions
upon schedule time.
After all, considered from an indi-
vidual rather than collective stand
point, the food has simply caused per-
sonal inconvenience thus far, but the
miserably inclement weather and the
exposure to which hundreds OF per-
sons have been subjected will lead to
colds and further complications unless
the necessary precautions are taken.
Thousands OF persons who were not
living in the inundated districts spent
yesterday in sightseeing. II the
weather had been bright the crowd
would have been twice as large, the
raw atmosphere and threatening clouds
keeping many at home. Water street
along the wharf was black with hui
mainly during the day, and there was
a steady stream Of men, women and
children pouring over the bridges IN
both directions. The inundated Sec
tions of the Island was the Mecca for
the sight-seers. The view from the
foot of Twelfth street was excellent
There were also many excellent views
from the mouth OF the creek, and ANA

shots in that vicinity.
The food has reached its height.
The worst is over. The waters are

Within twenty-four hours the food of
1901 will have gone into history. Wheel
ing ordinarily suffers proportionately
with her sister cities when the beauti-
full Ohio swells up, but this time this
community escaped very fortunately.
Not only has there been no loss of life
or serious casualty, but the thorough
preparation for the food reduced the
actual loss to the minimum. Wheeling
prepared for a stage of several feet
higher than the point touched when
the water became stationary, and while
this entailed needless work in many
instances, it also saved inevitable loss
to those who believe every flood re-
port to be sensational and exaggerated.
The Register feels gratifed in being
enabled once more to direct attention to
the accuracy of its forecasts as to the
probable stage Of water.
The highest stage was reached after
midnight, and the water will be sta
tionary until about O'Clock this morn
lng, after which time it may be expect
ed to recede rapidly. Then will come
season OF house-cleaning and yard
cleaning, which in many instances will
come just after that annual spring Gus
tom has been observed.
While the actual food losses win be
nominal in Wheeling the indirect losses
will amount to thousands of dollars in
the aggregate. The practical suspen-
sion of business in the heart of the job
bling district and the loss of time and
money entailed by the removal OF mer
ehsndire from cellars and floors, and
back again, will be no small item. The
enforced idleness OF thousands Of work
ingmen through the flooding of indus
trial plants will mean an enormous loss
in wages, while the plants themselves
will be heavy sufferers. In Benwood
not less than 5000 employees of the mills
will be deprived of the wages they
would have been earning il the water
had not invaded the factories in which
they are employed 1t will cost sums
varying in amount for the purchase of
new paper and for paint and incidental
repairs to each house in the flooded dis
trict-snd there are hundred items
which would have to be computed in
making an estimate Of the cost of the
1901 food, which no person would pre-
rIme to give with any degree of &C
curacy.
The rainfall which caused the high
water was unprecedented. The rain
fall from Thursday afternoon until last
evening was 5.e5 inches. Such a
heavy precipitation has not been
eQualled In many years. 1t was fortu-
nate that 1t was extended over several
dAys, or the result would have been
nush worss. 1t was the steady fall
which loossAed the earth along the
DaiIreaf tracks and caused the land
siides which have thoroughly democrat

however.
There are a number Of slips on both
banks of the creek, but the exact ma
ture and extent of the damages of this
character will not be known until the
water recedes.

GREYHOUNDS.

They Are the FIeetest of All Four
: Footed Animals.
Comparat rely few people realize Of
what rema. able speed dogs are capa-
bile. Some remarkable statistics in re-
gard TO this have been gathered by NJ.
Dusolier, n French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on BIZ
cycles or in carriages, he says that even
greater endurance is shown 10y certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between so
and 60 miles in one night. and an arctic
fox can do quite as well, if not better.
Nansen met one of these foxes on the
ice 1t n point more than 40 miles north
west of the SannikOw territory, which
is $50 miles from the Asiatic coast. Es-
kimo and Siberian dogs can travel 10
miles on the ice in FIVE hours. and there
is one case on record in which a team
of Eskimo dogs travelled 81. miles in
2S minutes.
According To NJ Dusolier. the speed
of the shepherd dogs and those used i'll
hunting ranges from 40 TO l. yards
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate of IS to 10 miles an
hour. and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
FOXhounds are extraordinarily swift.
as is proved by the fact that a dog OF
this breed once beat n thoroughbred
horse. covering four miles i'm 6l2 min
pteS, which was at the rate of nearly
IS yards a 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 COW
er ar full gallop a space between Is
and 23 yards every second.
How great an achievement this Is
may be judged from the fact that Il
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 NJ. DuSolier
has fully proved the right of the grey
hound TO rank as the swiftest of the
quadrupeds. Express engines only. sur,

gest representation of all is from the
Merinos. Vermont, the home of the
Merino, where the only distinctive
American breed of sheep originated. is
represented by many of her best breed
ers. This fact deserves more than Il
passing notice, as our domestic ami
mails of American origin are not nu-
merous. We have borrowed almost ev-
erything of this nature from other
countries. The only other exception is
possibly the American trotting horse.
AngOra Goats.
In connection with the sheep show is
an exhibit of 24o Angora goats. These
interesting animals fill one of the live
stock pavilions. The growing of An
CORA goats is a comparatively new
business i'm this country. and very lit
tie is known about II in the east. Their
adaptability to rough, rocky pasture
lands. where they Craze and grow con-
tentedly, has brought them prominent
ly into consideration where such lands
have proved useless or nearly so.
Wool Exhibit.
As another feature of the sheep show
superintendent Converse has arranged
an exhibition of wool. This is interna-
tional in scope, having fleeces from the
different states, Canada and several
South American countries Argentina

ShearinE Machinery.
Still another accessory to the sheep
industry is elaborately illustrated. In
one of the stock buildings a platform
was erected about three feet above the
floor upon which is installed the latest
and best shearing and clipping machin-
cry. Some of the machines are oper-
ated by electricity. while others are
worked by hand. To show to Exposi-
ton visitors their practical working,
twenty sheep are brought from the
East Buffalo stockyards every morn
ing. One machine is set in motion each
half hour during the day. and one OF
the men in charge removes fleece
with IL. One OF the operators claims
speed of one and one-half minutes to {"
fleece.
