Men Held in Washington Last Night

Ports the Beneficiaries.

The proposed advance in freight
rates on coal by the Chesapeake &

companies is causing much concern
among the Virginia and IVES, Viz
.inia coal operators and agents in this
city and Norfolk. If the roads should
advance the rate to $50 per ton from
the coal fields to 'riucwater. it is be-
licvch that the coal trade Of this port
and Norfolk woul;. suffer TO consider

Last night there was a gathering Of
Virginia and West Virginia operators

Electric Fans In Wiuter

The electric fan is generally associat-

ITS use for cooling and ventilating our
offices and living rooms. but it has its
uses in cold weather, and in many Of
ices and stores it maintains its posi-
ton throughout the entire year. Its
use in winter is principally to secure
ventilation. though at times it ia very

ANIMALS AND SCENT.

One Of the Miracle. Of Nature That
IL Past Understandfng.
One of the most interesting of all the
miracles of nature is scent as applied
to animals. The subject is neither uE-
derstOOd nor eXpla;nable. Whether it
opment of one Of the five is uncertain.
Quite likely. however. it has very little
relation to that sense which we know
as smell
is extremely important When the air
is dry and the ground hard there is lit
tie scent. When the wind is north OF
east scent is either largely wanting OF
does not readily diffuse itself. A
southerly wind without rain and Q
westerly wind, il not too rough, are
most favorable to it. OF course II the
wind is strong it blows the scent away.
and severe storms entirely destroy it.
q scent just after q shower. and 1t II
dispersed by the hot sun AZ well Al
by the storm. 1t Is q fact also that
scent comes as much from an animals
body as from its feet.
There is no time that q dog will fol-
low q scent better than when the track
u made upon white frost. II the frost
ID thick over the track. Of course the
scent Is buried, but as soon as it be-
gins to disappear the dog follows 1t
easily. During thaws or melting snow
ln1
paths. swamp bottoms. dry wood and
ice are all bad for holding or preserv-
ing scent. and SO are sandy places and
Of course plOwed fields when the feet
sink in so deep that the earth is likely
to fall over them.
Another peculiar thing about scent
il that it generally ceases as soon as
the animal is dead. This. at any rate,
il the claiLl. and. for that matter, al
most all knowledge concerning scent is
merely made by observation and il
rather unscientific, or at least liable to
be erroneous. 1t is claimed also that
nature often protects animals in the
breeding season. SO that they give out
but little scent For illustration. the
coon gives no scent from spring until
about the middle Of August, when the
young begin to take care Of themselves.
ard their scent increases with their
age and size. Both the rabbit and the
coon have very little scent, but the fox,
deer. moose and elk give out q strong
scent and can be followed by q dog
long after the track is fresh Birds
give but little scent, and it has been
claimed that quail close their feathers
closely when the dog is near and thus
destroy their scent altogether.
Whether scent as we understand It
40 applied to animals is the same quail
Ity that human beings possess in smell
ing a flower is uncertain Just how Q
dog, for illustration, can distinguish
the track OF his master from that Of
some one else or from a score Of others
perhaps hours after the track has been
made is simply one Of those marvellous
miracles that are as incomprehensible
ID eternity or limitless space.-Amateur
