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-
