GREYHOUNDS.
They Are the Fleetest OF All F0uz
Footed Animals.

They Are the Fleetest OF All FOuI
Footed Animals.
Comparatively few people realize Of
what remarkable speed dogs are capa'
Bile. Some remarkable statistics In re-
gard to this have been gathered by N.
Dusoller. 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 bi-
cycles or Ia carriages, he says that even
greater endurance Is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between 80
and 60 miles in one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as well. IL not better.
Nansen met one of these foxes on the
Ice at point more than 10 miles north
west of'the Sannikow territory. which
Is $50 miles from the Asiatic coast. Es.
kimo and Siberian dogs can travel As
miles on the ice In flve hours. and there
Is one case on record in which n team
OF Eskimo dogs travelled 6Ia miles in
% minutes.
According to NJ. Dusolier. the speed
Of the shepherd dogs and those used in
hunting ranges from 10 to - yards
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate OF lS 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 dog OF
this breed once beat thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in So min
utes, 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 COW
err at full gallop a space between IS |
and % yards every second.
How great an achievement this is |
may be judged from the fact that
horse rarely II ever ex-
ceeds 10 yards. Moreover. 1t Is said
that hare at Its greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate of 1S 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

HOW TO CONQUER
THE MOSQUITO N%

President Of the Dept. of Health, New York.

inc its stomach by biting a person already infected. Eight days after
a mosquito absorbs the germs it becomes capable Of injecting by its
bite persons previously healthy.
Since malarial mosquitoes as a rule bite only at night, one will
usually be safe by protecting his bedroom, either with screens at the
windows or by carefully arranging a mosquito bar over the bed.
All cases OF malaria developed should be isolated under mosquito
mating until pronounced cured by a competent physician. Otherwise
the Anopheles, biting persons affected, may fly out OF doors again
and carry the infection in all directions.
THE MOST IMPORTANT MEASURE IS TO PREVENT
T4E BREEDING OF MOSQUITOES IN ONES NEIGHBOR-
HOOD. All mosquitoes, the common household pests as well as
the malarial require standing water to lay their eggs in. They will
lag in water barrels, pans, tin cans, wells, springs, rain pools, cess
pools, pots, kettles, ponds Running streams are not apt to support
their young unless the current is sluggish Except when the margin
is covered with grass, large bodies of water are kept clear by the
s~an fish. Grass, shine or leaves prevent the fish from getting at
the mosquito larvae, which are cunnngy hidden.
When drainage is not possible, the surface Of the water should
be covered with kerosene oil. One ounce OF oil to fifteen square feet
of water is enough. 1t must be renewed each week during the mos
quto season.
Mosquitoes do not fly far from their breeding places. If the
householders in a given region would ateRpt to wipe them out the
results would be surprising.
Mosquitoes are not only %bothersome. THEY ARE DANGER
Gus. IT IS THE DUTY OF H PEOPLE TO EXTERMI-
NATE THEM.

TWO GERMANS AND A DOG.
A Curious Case That Came Up in a JUS
-tice Court.


Two German laborers lived in cab
ins not far apart and between them
there was a slight enmity which con-
tinued to grow, owing.to the fact that
Jake had a dog which made apractice
Of barking at Fritz every night as the
latter was returning from work.
Fritz often demonstrated with Jake
on the conduct of the dog and threat
ened to do harm to Jake's pet, but
neutrality-suspicious. appeared to
him to be airst-rate joke. One night
the dog was a little more aggressive
than usual, and so it followed Fritz
home, barking at his heels all the way.
This was more than Fritz could
stand, so he got his gun and shot the
dog. Jake was very angry and had
his countryman arrested. Fritz
was brought before a rural magis-
trate.

justice.

The magistrate finally declared tina
the admission was equal to a plea o

FUTURE OF MODERN ARMIES.
French Government Would Reduce Term
Of Service.


The dispute raging in France over
the government proposal to reduce
the term Of compulsory service in
barracks to two years is one, as we be-
lieye, says the London Spectator, Of
extreme significance. France being
at once the most military Of nations
and the one most susceptible to new
ideas, her example is almost sure,
sooner OF later, TO persuade Europe;
and it seems almost certain that she
intends this example should be set.
The older generals, it is true, and
probably a majority Of the officers,
are bitterly against the scheme.
They say that the French character
is inherently opposed to passive
obedience, and that it takes at least
three years to bring the conseript to
the necessary attitude of mind. He
has not the German reverence for
superiors, OF the Germans habit Of
Difference toward all who are legally
entitled to give orders. They doubt
if he will remain to be a noncommis-
stoned officer, and ask, with a per-
sistence that rather disconcerts the
treasury, where, if the sous-oficer is
to be retained by higher pay, the
money is to come from.
They see that the socialist idea Of
substituting the Swiss system Of
trained militia for that Of regular
armies gains ground yearly among
the peasantry, and they believe that
it will be directly promoted by the
abolition Of exemptions, which will
render the entire cultivated class,
who now to the number Of $4,000
serve only for one year, bitterly hos
tile to barracks life. The conse-
quence, they predict, will be a fur
Their general reduction to one year,
and then the adoption of the Swiss
system of an armed militia trained as
soldiers for six months only, and
though excellent for defense, useless
for conquest, or, indeed, for any
work beyond the frontiers. The col
onies, they assert, under such a sys-
tenn must be given up, and the for
eign policy of France placed upon an
entirely new basis and directed to
unthought-of ends. They fear, too.
we fancy, though they keep back this
argument, that the soldiers, being
less of a caste, will be less willing ia
put down rioters, and that the popu-
lace will regain that right Of revolt
which has been so nearly extin-
guished by the adoption Of scientific
weapons.
