The Romance of the Bloodhound.

No breed of dog makes more in
teresting study than does the blood
hound. 1t leads one from the beaten
track of canine interest into the
realm of history and romance. In
the wars between England and Scot
land it was often used in tracking
fueitives. Both Wallace and Bruce
had many hair-breadth escapes from
bloodhou.,ls; on one occasion the
hounds were so hot on the trail of
Bruce that he only escaped by wad-
ing down a stream until he found
refuge in an overhanging tree, and so
succeeded in throwing his pursuers
off the scent.

SITE NOT SELECTED.
No Action by Navy Department as
to Wireless Station.

Despite widely published reports to the
contrary. the Navy Department has not
yet selected the site of the projected high
powered wireless telegraph station. 1t
was originally intended to locate this sta
ton in this city. and a site in Rock
Creek Park was favorably considered. So
far the only thing done in the matter Is
the purchase OF certain wireless appar-
atus and its test at the Fessenden sta
ton at Brant Rock, Mass.
Six months will be occupied in these
tests. When they are concluded the ques-
ton OF locating the station will be again
considered. The disposition of those in
charge of the matter is now in favor of
lis estd bliShment at Annapolis in pref
trence to Washington. Among the ad-
'Santages of Annapolis is that the station
would be under better observation at the
MARYLAND capital and would serve also in
the instruction OF midsLipmen in wireless
