SPEED OF ANIMALS.
The Greyhound Leads, Followed by
the Horse and the Red Deer.

the Horse and the Red Deer.
The following interesting letter con-
corning the relative speed Of animals
appeared in the London Field:
The fastest animal we have is the
greyhound. Tho next are the race
horse, the red deer aud the hare, and
then comes the good. big bold dog
fox. which is a fine galloper on good
going. In comparison with any of
the above the fastest foxhound on
sound fat turf is as slow as a man
moving grass for haymaklnG, But il
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good. For instance,
Oh rough clods, whether melted or not,
IA hare cannot run ut all; hence she gen
orally takes care not to go there, and
where greyhounds are kept she habitu-
ally lies in her form near the fringe Of
a rough fallow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long, powerful hind legs a hare
can beat anything up a steep hill. \
foxhound can easily beat any horse
over deep clay pillow, because the horse
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter. though the horse may not
be faster, but great consideration must
be made for the discretion of Il good
horseman. who avoids exhaustng deep
ground which the deer plods through
A run of eight miles within the hour
in either of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body of the
field behind, but it would be easy to a
riding man on galloping horse when
the March winds have dried the coun-
try and the obstacles are only ordinary.

Der Of candidates for the other places
on the ticket. Frank J. Hall, OF Rush
Vile, has announced for Lieutenant
Governor. James r. Cox of Columbus,
is a candidate for Secretary of State.

Just how the Democratic leaders
expect to blot out the record Of their
party in the last Legislature on the
temperance question is causing much
speculation. Nearly every Democratic
legislator was in line against the high
license bill, which had the support OF
every community in the state.
The leaders have come to the con
clusiOn lately, however, that public
sentiment is so strong on the temper
ance question that no party need hope
for victory that doesn't declare itself
squarely in favor Of local option. A
local option plank will be d bitter pill
to many of the men who are on the in
side Of the organization. but they have
made up their mind TO swallow it and
look as pleasant as possible.
Their hope now is that the sins Of
the party will be washed away when
the convention declares in favor of To-
cal option. Immediately afterward,
the claim will be made that the Dem
ocrats were first TO take a stand for 10
Cal option. but nothing will be said
about the Legislative record.

Cruise of a Lifetime.

That portion Of Magellan strait
through which the fleet is now pass
ing is one OF the most wildly pictures
que waterways in the world and the
American sailors will witness scenery
that is excessively grand and rugged.
Mountains. some OF which attain u
hight of 1000 feet. border the strait
on both sides. the shores are mostly
steep and glaciers de scend nearly TO
the sea in some places and frequently
crown precipices in others The cur
rents are powerful and swift and the
dapth OF toe water is one of its re
markable features, in some places
reaching $50 fathoms or about $500
feet. The winds of the strait are new

ranges. they are sudden, powerful. un-
certain in direction and usually freigh-
ted with squalls of snow or rain.
