In the Coils OF Three Snakes.

A colored man, named Jasper, living
eight or ten miles from town, says that
on Friday he and his little boy, about
ten years old. were hoeing cotton; that
he was some distance ahead of the boy,
who was working near the edge of the
field by some weeds and bushes. He
heard the boy halo, and looking around
did not see him; he then ran to see what
was the matter. On arriving at the
spot he found the lad on the ground in
the coils of three large black snakes.
On his appearance the snakes prepared
to fight him, and seeing they would soon
choke his little boy to death, he took
his pocket-knife and cut the one that
had made the little fellow a very un-
comfortable crayat into half a dozen
pieces by inserting the knife next to
the lads neck and cutting upward. He
then caught the others by the head and
with his knife cut them in two or three
pieces. He was bitten several times,
but he said: "I knowed black-snake
bite wouldn't hurt much, and let 'em
bite, so | could save de boy; but l had
to take him to the branch and throw
water on him long time; he is all right
now" ."-American (Ga. J Republican.

boan 40 much questioned | pointed out
the existence of this danger aoou'
which there is, indeed, no question:.
That which has happened to one sun
NAV happen to another, to our own
Snr s for example. l coupled this state
mont with another, to the effect that
tbe comet of lS43 seemed likely to be
soon absorbed by the sun. 1t appears
more than probable that the comet seen
in February, 1880, was no other than
tbe comet of 1913, returning earlier
than had been expected because re-
tarded by the resistance of the solar at
mosphere in 1913. If so, the next re-
turn of the comet would occur after
vet shorter interval, the next yet soon
or etc, the comet which already ap-
nroacbes within 10000 or $4,000 miles
of his surface, approaches nearer and
nearer at each return, till in no very
lone period it would be totally absorbed.
But where | thus indicated the danger
which the absorption of some comets
might threaten, and the probability
that the comet of 1913 will before long
be absorbed by the sun, also showed
that this particular comet will in all
probability be absorbed without doing
any serious harm if any harm at all. 1t
was, it would seem, checked in its course
during the visit of 1913, yet no harm
followed. 1t must have been still more
eifectually interrupted during its visit in
1880, yet again no effects Of any i'm
portance were noted. 1t follows that
the entire mass of the comet is so inSig-
nfcant that no mischief is likely to re-
suit from its final absorption, even
though that took place at its next
return, instead of being probably pre-
ceded by many successive partial
abSorptiOns.
So far as that comet, the only comet
known to travel on path closely ap-
preaching the sun, is concerned, there
is either no danger at all or very little,
and, as to those comets which, if they
fell directly on the sun, would cause
mischief, not one is known which has q
path approaching him within many
millions Of miles, There is then, no
recognized danger of this kind, except
such as may be thus represented. There
NAV now exist unknown to Us and
travelling somewhere in inter-stellar
space, a comet of the more dangerous
sort, whose path chances to be such
that eventually that comet must fall
directly upon the sun. But to this dan
ger-such as it is our solar system has
been exposed during the whole time
over which history extends in the past,
over the whole time covered by the
geologic record, and for millions Of
ages before either the historic or the
geologic record began. We have no
reason to believe that that will happen
during millions of years to come which
has not happened during millions Of
years which have passed. In other
words, there is no danger which science
recognizes as likely to arise from
comets IN 7. Herald.

Belshazzar Smith and His Brother Bill.

Belshazzar Smith had very bad and
very dangerous habit of walking in his
sleep. His family feared that during
one ofhis somnambulistic saunterings he
would charge out Of the window and
kill himself, so they persuaded him to
sleep with his little brother William,
and to tie one end of a rope around his
Aody and the other around little
William.
The very first night after this ar
rangement was made, Belshazzar
dreamed that burglar was pursuing
him with a dagger So he crept over
to Williams side of the bed, stepping
over Williams slumbering form, jumped
out on the floor and slid under the bed.
He staid there awhile and then, his
nightmare having changed, he emerged
upon the other side of the bed and got
under the cover in his old place.
The rope, it will be observed, was be-
meath the bed, and it was pulled taut,
too. Early in the morning Belshazzar,
about half awake, scrouged over against
William. To his surprise the move
ment ierked William clear out of bed.
Belshazzar leaped out to ascertain the
cause of the phenomenon, and atthe same
time his brother disappeared under the
bed. Belshazzar, hardly awake, was
scared and he dived beneath the bed
stead. As he did so, he heard William
skirmishing across the blankets above
his head. Once more he rushed out,
Just in time to see William glide over
the other side. Belshazzar just then
became sufficiently conscious to feel
the rope pulling on him. He compre-
hended the situation at once and disen-
gagged himself.
Perhaps little William was not mad.
He was in the hospital undergoing re-
pairs for about three weeks, and when
he came out he had a strange desire to
sleep alone.

Butterflies Ways.

1t is not difficult to see that the differ
euce in color on the two sides OF a but
terily's wings must be designed for some
special purpose, and that the purpose OF
the under side is to escape detection,
while the purpose of the upper side is
to attract attention. The protective
use of the brown under wings is very
simply explained. The insect must be
much exposed to birds and other hostile
creatures as it sits still, and so it re-

The DeceitHul Kangaroo.

Lamb-like as is the face of the kan
garoo, tender and soft as are his eyes,
he is by no means as gentle and tender
as he looks. Like the heather Chinese,
his cOpntenance bellies him, and there
are few more exciting and withal dan
gerous sports than kangaroo shooting.
To the hunter seeking for some new
sensation, a visit to the wilds of Aus
tralia in search of kangaroos can be
recommended. 1t requires a fleet horse
TO run an " old man. down if he gets a
fair chance to show tail, and strong,
well-trained dogs to tackle him when
brought in bay. Inside his soft, dewy
lips are strong, formidable teeth, which
can bite severely. His forepaws, weak
as they seem, can lift dog high in the
air and crush him to death; while,
when, lying down, his favorite fighting
attitude he can kick with his powerful
hind legs in manner that rapidly
clears circle round him, and woe be-
tide the man or dog that comes within
reach of those huge claws, which can
make a flesh wound deep enough to
MAIN the one or kill the other. OF
course, we here speak of the great kan
garoo, the boomer, or old man, of the
cOlonists. AS matter of fact, there
are some thirty different kinds of kan
