SPEED OF DOGS.
Remarkable for Their Quickness and
Staying Powers in Running.

Dogs and wild animals of the same
family are remarkable for their quick
ness and staying powers in running,
as everyone knows. A fox terrier, for
example, will follow his masters car
riage for hours, with no signs Of IA
tigue. Wolves will travel 60 miles in
a night. Nansen saw arctic foxes on
the ice nearly 500 miles from land,
and found their tracks in the snow
on the parallel Of IS degrees north.
Esqumaux dogs can travel As miles
in five hours, accordingto Hayes, who
recites that he once drove his dog
team seven miles in half an hour. A
Siberian dog, on good ice, will draw
about so pounds; Jul ordinary dogs,
al full speed, u at the rate of from
80 10 40 feet per second; settlers and
pointers about ISL to q 40 miles
per hour, and they can maintain this
speed for two or even three hours.
Fox hounds are very fast, and, in a
recent trial. one of them beat a thor
oughbred horse, covering four miles
IN 81 minutes. G%reyhounds ar IL
al the rate Of SO to fleet per second.
Horses cannot exceed 63 feet per Sec

GO TO THE ANT.
And Investigate a Very Curious Phase
of Insect Life.


81 now being past noon and
Formica's thoughts turning to re-
freshments, she hied herself 10 the
outskirts Of the nest, where the fam
lily COWS were pastured. These COWS,
or aphides, were feeding on the leaves
of the daisy, into which they plunge
their proboscides and suck all day
long, filling their bodies with pleas
ant juices. Our ant came up behind
anaphisa and stroked it gently with her
antennae, when the little creature
gave out a drop Of her sweet liquid,
which Formica sucked into her own
crop. There were thousands of these
aphides pasturing on the leaves and
thousands of ants milking them.
Mos of the ants took more of the
juice into their crops than they need
ed; and, on the way back TO work,
gave up a part of it to friends whom
they met going to the cows, thus saw
ng the others time and enabling them
to resume their occupation more
quickly. The ants were making the
most Of the aphis juice during the
summer days, knowing that the sup
ply would fall off later when the
aphides laid their eggs. (Note here
the superior mental equipoise Of the
ant, which neither betrays surprise
nor writes to the newspapers when her
cows begin to lay eggs.)
These eggs the ants would store
over winter, tending them with the
utmost care until spring, when the
young aphides are brought out and
placed on the shoots Of the daisy to
mature and provide food again dur
ing the hot weather. This far-sight-
edness is unexampled in the animal
kingdom. Other insects and animals
put away stores for the winter, to be
sure, but the ant is the only one Of
them that breeds its own food supply.
Having taken her fill of the sweet
juice on this particular day, Formica
noticed that the aphis which she had
been milking was in a position on the
leaf which might expose it to observa-
ton of some aphidivorous insect. She
Immediately descended to the ground,
when she obtained a mouthful of
earth, and, again climbing up the
daisy stalk, built a tiny shed over the
COW. going back and forth several
times to bring up sufficient material"

INDEPENDENTS ANSWER
To Miners Make About Same Argu-
ments as Allied Firm.

Scranton, Pa, Nov 13.-The answer of
the independent operators OF the Lacka-
wanna and Wyoming region to the state
ment of President Mitchell of the Mine
Workers was made public, Wednesday.
In response to the demand for an In
crease in wages they say that the pres
ent wages are such as to enable the dill
gent and skillful miner to earn more per
hour than any class of labor. skilled or
unskilled. i'm the towns in which their
mones are located, and amply sufficient
to allow him not only to maintain a good
standard of living and educate his chill
dren. but to lay aside something for his
old age. That some miners wages are
small. il is stated, is because they choose
to exercise their option to work only IL
few hours a day.
The demand for the Weighing of coal
and payment by the legal ton Of 224g
pounds instead OF by the fictitious ton OF
a75p or 5000 pounds. is characterized as Il
thinly disguised effort to secure ~ per
cent. increase in wages.
Regarding the declaration of the min
ers that labor unions improve the morals
and discipline of their members. this COM
ment is made
organizations. but when applied to the
Miners Union we enter Il most emphatic
denial. The vast number of brutal muir
ders and beatings during the past five
months show that the teachings of the
United Mine Workers has brought about
such moral obliquity that its members be-
lieved themselves justified in these acts.
also that officers of the union justified
this course by furnishing bail and coun-
sci for those who have been guilty of
these atrocious acts
I'VE believe we will be able to prove
such tremendous losses of life and mon
ey as the direct results of the methods
OF this particular union. as to convince
your honorable commission that it IL not
expedicnt to do any act which may con-
tribute to its continued exercise"
