WIRE FENCES AND FOX HUNTERS
How a Difficulty with 'the Riders Was
Overcome In England.
In the (freat grazing grounds of tbe
Shires farmers long ago discovered that
wire was an excellent substitute for
oak railing in their ox fences, says the
National Review. Why they should
ever have deemed it necessary to
strengthen with outworks those black
thorn fortifications is a matter on which
sportsmen are insufficiently informed;
but wire soon became so popular in the
midlands that the county was fast be
coming as unridable as is at this mo
ment the immediate neighborhood of
London.
Lord Onslow has shown us in a vol
ume in the Badminton library how per
fectly horses at the antipodes are
trained to jump wire fences, which are,
of course, visible enough, and how they
may even be taught by experience to
make allowance for a single wire run
through a brush fence; in other words,
to chance nothing and top twig every
thing. But no horse can ever be ex
pected to allow for something he can
not see on the take-off side of a fence,
so that evidently if riding to hounds
was to be anything more than gallop
ing along roads or through gates the
wire guard must cease to prevail.
A wire fund accordingly had to be
raised for the payment to such farmers
as would enter into the arrangement of
all expenses connected with letting
down the wire daring the winter
months and replacing it in the spring.
English agriculturists being as a class
the most good-natured of men, this
plan was very largely, though far from
entirely, successful; enough of the
country was free from the iron impedi
ment to enable men to ride with con
fidence over large tracts, but, there
were ahva'S plenty of placrs where the
occupiers were impracticable and where
umping, except for the blissfully ig
norant or splendidly reckless, was
tabooed.
Still the danger spots were pretty
well known, for the farms being large
the local committeemen who had the
management of the modus vivendi had
each a comparatively small number of
persons with whom to treat.
THE MOON AND CLOUDS.
No Perceptible Influence Exercised Be
tween Thein.
It is an old weather saw that the full
moon eats clouds. Sir John IIersclie
put the idea in a more scientific form
by suggesting that suBicient heat might
be radiated from the surface of the
moon to cause the disappearance of
cli mils from the earth's atmosphere
when the moon is full, and when, con
sequently, its radiation toward the
earth is greatest. Humboldt and Ar
ago did not consider such an opinion to
be unreasonable, while manv sailors.
Tiud others practically interested in
weather changes, are fully convinced
that the full moon drives away clouds.
The proper way to settle such a ques
tion is, of course, to notice what actual
ly occurs. This investigation has been
indertaken in England by Mr. S. J.
lolinson, wno nas recently announced
Ihe result of observations covering the
last fifteen years.
lie carefully noted the condition of
the sky nt the period of full moon, com
paring the appearance at the time of
moon rise with that at midnight, and his
conclusion is that the moon exercises
no perceptible influence In causing the
disappearance of clouds.
In the course of his investigation Mr,
lolinson made one hundred and eighty
nix separate observations. On one htm
tred and twenty-six oeensions the sky
iviih the Mime nt midnight as it had been
it tin Kin rise, on thirl v-three occasions
it was clearer at midnight than at
tniainrise, nnd on twenty-seven oeca
aiiitiH it wan mure clouded at midnight

Judge Ira Perley believed in the jus

astonished him by exclaiming: "I think
you have acted like an infernal scoun

KvenlDK la Society.
Society belles are not alone in their
liking for personal adornment. Young
soldiers, and brave ones at that, are
sometimes as vain of their fine clothes
as any schoolgirl, says Youth's Cora'
panion. Gen. Du Iiarail. writing hig
"Souvenirs," lingers with fond particu'
larity over the splendid new uniform
he put on when he became a lieutenant.
"Five minutes after I received my pro
motion," he says, "the best tailor in Al
giers was taking my measure for my
officer's uniform."
Then he goes into full details about
the red spencer trvinraed with black
braid, the blue cap, the sash of red
silk, from which dandled acorns ol
gold, and especially the sky-blue panta
loons. "It would bo hard to imagine a
uniform more coipiet." he declares.
Tins gorgeous rig he was to wear for
the first time at a dinner given by the,
governor general In honor of the men
newly promoted; and ho could hardly
wait for the time to come. When he
came to put the garments on. however,
he found himself literally in a strait.
For three years he had lieen going
aliout in loose Arabian costume. Ilia
new clothes were ni dreadfully tight!
lie got into his jacket only with the
vigorous assistance of three of his com
panions, who had to unite nil their
forces in order to button the thing to
get her.
Ho entered the general's house with
hin arms standing out "like basket
handles," and all in all felt as awk
ward as any mortal well could, lie
neither ate nor drank. "It seemed to
me," he aaya, "that at the find mouth
ful of br-od or the flrit swallow uf wa
ter, everything would burnt. And
when, as It happened, the governor
general looked In tnv Uireen.iii, with
