THE AUTO IN FOX HUNTING. A Nashville (Tenn.) fox hunting enthusiast, Professor J. F. Draugli on, puts his automobile to a novel use whenever he starts out on the trail of wily reynard. lie designed and had built a trailer for carrying i the dogs, and this he attaches to his motor car and bowls away to the best fox hunting grounds, some fif teen or twenty miles distant from Nashville. The trailer holds twen ty dogs and has an upper deck. Tents are carried on this part, while underneath is a compartment which is used to carry cooking utensils, etc., in the event a long hunt is planned and executed. The profess or hit upon the plan of attaching a trailer to his car to enable him and his friends to leave Nashville late in the afternoon and yet reach the hunting ground without worry or loss of time from his business and turn his dogs loose fresh and ready for the sport. When he arranges for a trip at some distance he sends his horses to the hunting place or some convenient rendezvous in the after noon, and when lie and his friends arrive the horses are saddled and the dogs let out of the trailer fresh, and the fox is soon going. After the chase by special signal the dogs come in, get into the trailer, and the hunting party is soon on the return trip to the city.—Motor Age. Figures That Stagger. It used to be that astronomy, with its stupendous magnitudes, in credible velocities and inconceivable distances, seemed to make the great est demand on man’s belief. To day it is physics. We read, for in stance, that Hertz’s oscillations give rise to 500,000,000 oscillations per second. Where is the man who can conceive of anything happening in the five hundred millionth part of a second? But this is quite a long period compared to some of those now accepted as inevitable in optics. According to Maxwell’s great the ory, a light wave is a series of al ternating electric currents flowing in air or interplanetary space and changing their direction 1,000,000,- 000,000,000 times per second. And this is supposed to be true of every form of light coming from the sun, the electric lamp or a lucifer match. Who can think of anything happen ing in the thousand million mil lionth part of a second?—London Telegraph. Mont Blanc’s New Hut. A hut which has taken two years to construct has at length been com pleted on the summit of Mont Blanc. It is to serve as a night ref uge for storm bound travelers and contains sleeping accommodations for twenty persons. Great difficul ties had to be surmounted in the ex ecution of the work. Twice the hut was imbedded in a snowdrift, and twice the building was destroyed n. by fire. Every scrap of material used was carried on men’s backs from Chamonix. The list of acci dents in the Swiss Alps for the past year is a long one. More than 170 people were killed besides many se riously injured. Os these accidents it is stated that 10 per cent were unavoidable, the remainder being due to foolhardiness or inexperi ence. The Highest Railroad Bridge. The Fades viaduct, being built across the valley of the Sioule river near Vauriat, France, will be the highest railroad bridge in the world. The level of the rail is 431 feet above the bed of the stream. The total length of the bridge is 1,446 feet. The structure consists of three lattice granite deck stands. The two tower piers are of granite masonry, laid in parallel courses and 303 feet above the foundation, which rests on solid rock. When the trains run over this high hung structure the passengers, looking out at the view below, will experi ence something of the sense of trav eling across country on an airship. Casimir-Perier’s Decoration. M. Casimir-Perier, who resigned the French presidency, has just re ceived a rare decoration, the gold j medal of the Assistance Public, ■which is vastly more rare than the Legion of Honor has become in these later times. Mmc. Loubet is one of the few living recipients. Since his withdrawal from politics into private life M. Casimir-Perier has devoted himself with great en ergy and devotion and almost ex clusively to works of benevolence, i and the gold medal conferred upon him is a tribute richly earned by years of work and example. Irish Pearls. One of the last things one might expect Ireland to produce are pearls. But the truth is Irish pearls have come greatly into vogue within a year or so in England, being of rare purity and coloring, so it is said. Queen Alexandra wears a pearl from the oyster beds at Connemara set as a brooch in green enamel, which was given her by Lady Dudley. A LITTLE NONSENSE. Story of the Lad Who Was Taken Out to Dine. It is of course a platitude to say that the frankness of the young is on certain occasions most appalling, i but the truth of the statement is il lustrated in a new way by the fol lowing story of the little boy who was taken out to dine: Ralph had, to the comfort of his mother, conducted himself in a most exemplary manner throughout the repast. At dessert the lad gazed longingly at some fruit at the far ther end of the table; but, much to his disappointment, he was not ask ed to have any of it. It chanced that the hostess, observing the set expression on the boy’s face and be ing, of course, entirely ignorant of the cause thereof, said: “And of what are you thinking so earnestly, little man ?” “Mother told me,” came in swift response, “not to take two apples, and L was thinking that I’d be mighty lucky to get one.” —Lippin- cott’s Magazine. Hair Treatment. “These barbers make such unnec essary and uncomplimentary re marks,” said John Drew. A friend of mine was being shaved the other day when the razor operator said suggestively: “ ‘Your hair is getting rather thin, sir.’ “ ‘Yes,’ replied mv friend. ‘Glad to hear it. I’ve been treating it with antifat. Never did like stout hair.’ ” —Woman’s Home Compan ion. His Mistake. Harold —I overheard you remark, Miss Lively, that Fred Borem and I were great chums, but I assure you you were mistaken. % Miss Lively—Oh, no; it was you who was mistaken. I said “great chumps.” In the Wrong Office. Fair Client —Excuse me, but are you a divorce lawyer? The Lawyer—Yes, madam. I can secure a divorce for you without publicity. Fair Client—Beg pardon, but 1 seem to have meandered into the wrong place. I’m an actress. Good morning, sir.—Chicago News. Thrift. “Estelle, that is an abominably cooked steak. You can cook better ! than that.” “Oh, but mother,” expostulated ; the young wife, “if I cook my best Harold will eat it all, and there will he nothing left over for croquettes and fillings.” Minneapolis Trib une. His Observation. “Did you ever notice,” said the man who attends freak exhibitions, I “that most mind readers are wom en ?” “No,” answered the man who is in awe of his wife. “But I have no ticed that most women are mind readers.” —Washington Star. Cheap Transportation. “Hah!” exclaimed the poet as he grasped his fountain pen. “The spirit moves me!” “That,” rejoined the landlady, who was not only willing, but anx ious, to lose him, “beats paying an expressman 50 cents to do the job.” —Detroit Tribune. No Appeal. “If your wife treats you so shame- j fully,” said Hen peck’s friend, “why don’t vou get a divorce from her?” “I did want to,” replied Ilenpeck, “but she said ‘no,’ and of course that settled it.”—Baltimore News. | Sounds Impossible. Braglev—Now, I always believe in giving the devil his due — Ascum —His dew! How is it pos sible? Do you really believe there is any humidity there? —Philadel- | phia Press. , THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY. FEB. 1. 1000. Fence for Sale. . j Good wire fencing at SIIXI per mile while it lasts.
