was cast under a new Law passed by the

township to decide whether il would

next three years. and the preponderance
was largely in favor of license On the
same day an amendment was adopted in
the Constitutional Convention prohibit

ABOTT RiTTLEsyAKES.

In the April number of the Gaiary.
Mr.. Morley. chief surveyor of some
railroads in Colorado and New Mexico.
has an interesting article ON the habits.
etc. Of rattlenakes and other yenomous
reptiles, In which he corrects several
popular delusions in regard tai them.
and confirms some Of the articles of
popular faith. He denies the current
belief of the rattlesnake's ability to
launch itself through the air to the dis
lance OF tive or three times its length i'm
making the deadly spring. Mr.. Morley
says it throws itself forward about
fhree-fourths of its length. supporting
its weight entirely upon the remaining
fourth In order To strike it must lie in
a close coil, with Its head and neck
erect Its venom is not, as has been
universally asserted, inserted into the
wound through hollow fang: the
fangs are hollow for a part of their
length. but the tip is never pierced. The
poison-sac. the position of which NAV
be roughly indicated by comparing it to
a gum-boil, is in such relation with the
base of the fang that, when the animal
strikes. pressure is exerted upon the
sac, which causes a drop of venom to
run down outside the tooth into the |
puncture- Thus it happens that rattle
snakes bites are sometimes harmless
when the creature attempts to strike
through cloth, the poison being absorbed
by the material. As for the rattle, i. is
Of little value. for the striking is almost
with the sound, and is
done with electric quickness- sometimes
IS done twice, contrary to the opinion
that yenomous snakes do not bite twice
IN immediate succession. But If the
warming is of little vrlue. the bite. ON
he other hand, is reported by Mr..
Morley to be less venomous than
he had supposed. The best cure for the
disease. according to Mr. NJ, is whisky.
The peculiar offensive odor of these
makes Is vouched for by the author.
Tho says that If one is irritated and
made to bite the rake or hoe with which Z
IS intended to kill him. the implement

There rattlesnakes are most numerous is

The English anti-slavery expedition
to Zanzibar, under Sir Bartle Frere, has
failed There were two lions squatted
defantly in Sir Bartle's path. One
seems to have been the treaty of 1876.
between England and the Sultan Of Zan-
zibar, by which the slave trade was per
mitted within certain limits. The other
was the Koran. which acknowledges and
allows slavery. Had the treaty of 1915
been the only obstacle in the way Of a
new treaty, the Sultan would have
probably yielded But the Koran, To
the true believer its presents are sacred;
and there is the revenue from the
present system England must try
again and elsewhere. The South Sea
Islanders are Kidnapped every day, nm

ment By all means, let her send Sir
