bers, but they have not met with very
great success. In the Western coun-
try the bloodhound has been introduced
by many county sheriffs and these dogs
are always at the disposal Of the rail-
road companies whenever they are need
ed in the apprehension OF criminals. The
railroad companies do not maintain
bloodhound kennels as the expense of
keeping the dogs from year to year
would be far greater than their value as
detectives.
Owners of bloodhounds are usually
paid at the rate of SIS or $50 day for
their services. There have been no re-
cent cases reported where the blood

or bank robber.

DEATH ON A FUNERAL PYRE.

British law has stamped out many cruel
and barbarous customs and the crime of

however, cases occur. An authenticated
instance is reported from Behar, one Of
the districts of Bengal. chiefly noted for
its indigo industry. Thirteen men were
prosecuted on charges of culpable homi-
eide or allotment of suicide. A realistic
description of the grewsome scene was
furnished by the deputy magistrate. In
committing the accused to the Sessions
court he said: Though the thirteen ac-
cused committed for trial have been d.

HE use of bloodhounds for catch

high detective art has fallen al
most into disrepute. So expert

the fierce, keen-scented brutes are put
upon the trail of a fugitive.
But they have not entirely passed out
Of use. Many country sheriffs have fins
kennels Of bloodhounds, while they are
still used to considerable extent in the
Southern States. In the old slave days
the bloodhounds were in general use
throughout the South and many a negro,
trying to escape into the free States,
came to grief on account of the savage

By means Of his keen scent and savage

creatures. The young hounds are trained
by men skilled in the art. An old hound
Is necessary adjunct. Some individual
is turned loose in the woods and the
hounds are placed upon his trail. The
old blood-hounds lead the chase, and the
younger one follows suit. After a few
weeks training the young dog will pick
up scent as readily as the old one. His
smelling powers seem to develop with
age, and an old bloodhound can some
times, atmospheric conditions not inter-
fering, follow a trail three days old.
Trainers generally use an old dog In
conjunction with young one. With
chains around the necks of the blood
hounds the owner puts them on a trail.

1t Is dangerous to put him on a trail, as
he would rend a fugitive from limb to

A well-trained English bloodhound is
worth in the neighborhood Of $500.
The use Of bloodhounds has been for
hidden in some States, and recently a
decision was issued by a Supreme Court
Justice In Nebraska discrediting them

have distinguished themselves upon the
battlefield. Centuries ago, it is said that
they were used in an attack upon the
Gauls. During the wars between England
and Scotland and the clannish feuds in
the latter country, they were employed to
track down fugitive warriors. 1t is a mat
ter of history, according to the early
writers, that they were put upon the
track OF Bruce and Wallace the latter
escaping, 1t is said, by killing suspected
follower on whose corpse the bloodhound
stood. nor farther moved fra time she
found the blood
Bruce escaped the bloodhound, II is
said, by wading a long distance through
a stream, and then ascending a tree by
means OF branches which protruded over
the water. During the Irish rebellion in
Queen Elizabeth's time the earl of Es-
sex Is said to have had 500 bloodhounds
accompanying the army.
The bloodhounds found in the South be-
long to the Cuban class, being descend
ants of Spanish ancestry. They differ
from the English variety by having
smaller, though pendulous ears, keener
nose and more savage appearance
In the development of our higher civil
ization the glory OF the sleuth-hound Is
fading away. He is too cruel and too saw
age in these humane days, when even the
handkerchief criminals are treated with
the utmost consideration. Detective bu-
reaus consider themselves able TO cope
with crime without the aid of the sharp
scented animals. They are useful only In
the sparsely- settled districts. and would
be practically valueless in a large city,
where there are many buildings and num-
erous means OF breaking a trail.
They served their purpose in the ante
bellum days-cruel though II was. Except
In rare cases. 1t is hardly probable that
they viii ever be used to any great ex-
tent In the capture OF criminals. That
work has been delegated to the human
bloodhound. and while he is not so VIC
ious and savage. he Is equally persistent,
and seldom gives up the trail until he has
landed the fugitive thief or murderer
behind the prison bars.
