BLIND HUNTER OF FOXES.
Sightleas Marylander Who Was Skilled in Following tho
 Hounds,

William B. Biles, aged 75 years, has just died at his home at Blue Ball, Ce cil county, Maryland. From childhood he was bind. He was man of cle ar un- derstanding, excellent judgment and was familiar with the current affairs of his country and state. He was an enthusiastic fox hunter and 20 years ago was one of the best in the state, assessing a'hne kennel of hounds. He could distinguish each hound by feeling its ears. He could also tell the color of horse by feeling. His saddle horse was trained to follow a mule which he used on his farm, and some one of his employees or boys would ride the mule ahead of him on the hunts over the fields and through the woods. He could distinguish the voice of each of his hounds when in close pursuit of fox.

X-RAYS IN SLOT MACHINES.
Patent Apparatus of Novel Design te Make Appearance on Chicago
 .6treetR.

An automatic machine that for odd ity is likely to prove popular is to appear on the Chicago streets within the next two or three weeks. The American XHay company is prepar- ing to put out several hundred N-ray machines that will operate automat- ically on depositing a nickel in the slot
 The other day an exhibition of <he new machine was given in the offices of William T. Blaine. president of the company, in the Continental National Bank building. The apparatus is con- structed somewhat after the fashion of the familiar picture machines. ex- cept a space is left behind the lenses for the insertion of objects.
 X block of wood several inches in thickness was held before the ma chine and objects on the further side seen plainly. The light is steady and clear and of unusual brilliance.
 "The machine is built on principles different entirely from Crooks static machine" said MT. Blaine. "The au- tomatic machine will work under any and all circumstances, and the light will be clearer and better than that produced by regular apparatus"

Maud s. He carefully selects his racers when they are young and trains and handles them in 6 careful and special manner, so as to give them speed and endurance. 1t is nothing to him to make hundred mile dash be- hind his fast team in a short winter day. News will travel over the length and breadth of Chowchu land with railroad speed, being carried from herd to herd often at the rate of 200 miles a day. Whenever two or more Chow chuan are bound the same way, there is sure to be race. Then it goes helter shelter, neck and crop. up hill and down hill, over snow banks and rocks, as long as the light, fragile locking sled. made out of bent willows. will stand it. or until the destination is reached. 1 have seen some magnificent bursts of speed, and it is with reindeer as it. is with dogs and horses: it is their breeding and training which gives them their mettle.
 What the American people, with their knae!l of going to the bottom of things and of doing thoroughly what ever they underl ake 10 do, will be able to do with the reindeer, this question opens out wide vista. We have at our disposal all that has been ac- cOmplished by the half. avage pc ple with these animals. We can bring al the best. breeds here together on Alaska soil, and we have room enough to be able to breed and train reindeer here for all specific purposes. and e.. pecjally for fast mail carriers into all the ends and corners of Alaska, which will soon teem with civilized life.
 The meat of the reindeer is very palaable and would be considered delicacy and welcome ad ition 10 the menu in the best hotels in the United States. A number of steamers arrive every summer in Nome titled with cod storage plants and carrying up hun dreGs,of tons of refrigerated meats fer the mining population. These p'ah.s return empty to the States now. Had we but abundant reindeer meat >.e could fill them wi h it. The meat would fetch fancy p, ices in all the II arie's from Sea tie to New York.

terday. is a vigorous paper, but rather
pessimistic in tone. Almost its opening SEN
tence says: 1T is manifest that if there is
not some betterment soon the bases Of So
ciety will crumble and drag down with
them the great and eternal principles OF
law and morality" The times may pre-
sent some meRacing features. as they al
ways do. but society is no nearer perditiOn
now than IL has been. The Pope scores "the
licentious institution Of divorce and de-
piOres the fact that I'm some countries "the
state has laid it's hands on the marriage
bond to profane it and has stripped it Of its
religious character" The tendency towards
lax divorce laws and practices is I'M
dOuDtedly a real evil. The Pope warns
against socialism and against modern in
ternational egotism" that causes nations to
watch each other. If not with hate, at
least with the suspicion of rivals. He
speaks strongly against anarchism. against
turning liberty into license, and against
education without religion or morality. The
paper is elevating in tone, but 4. is rather
weakened by its studious ignoring of any
mitigating features in the situation and
by it's plain assumption that social and
political evils can be cured only by more
complete recognition of the authority of
the church.
