Methods Of a Rattlesnake Catcher:

A recent letter from Port Jervis, N.
Y, to the New York SIN says: John c.
Geer of Long Eddy, a veteran rattle
snake catcher, has just shipped four
r~attlers, averaging over four feet in
length, to q museum in Rochester. MIR.
Gecr does a lively business in rattle
snakes. He catches them for travelling
shows and %mcnagcries, and sells them at
q good ronnd price. His method of cap
turc is very simple. With his feet en-
cascd in a pair of heavy cowhidc boots,
through which the fangs Of the
snakes cannot penetrate, he goes out into
the woods only IL short dis
lance from his farm house.
Armed with a heavy cane, he walks
along until he sees or hears a RATHER. II
it is coilcd up a blow with the cane vii!
straightcn it out, and while it is uncoilcd
it cannot strike. Holding it firmly back
of the head with the cane, he slips q
a small hood of thick wooden cloth
over its head and ties it fast. The snake
can then wrigglc and strike as much rs II
plcascs; it is harmless. After two OF
three are captured they are put into ;
bag and carried home. There they arc
put into a box specially prepared for thci'
reception having front of thick PLATE
glass. At first they are furious. and
writhc and plunge about, striking at tho
sides of the box in Il most cNt%raordlnar.!
manner, but they finally quiet down and
take kindly to their new quarters. The!
arc fed three times day regularly. Their
food consists of frogs, mice, gophcrs, and
sometimes small birds. Mr. Gecr say:
August is the most dangerous of al
months for capturing snakes, because
they arc shedding their skins and cannot
see, and so do not give the customary
three alarm %rattlcs.
"Snakcs is curious" said Mr.,
Gccr. "Snakcs is curious. and

never think Of biting at any other timl
of the year without calling out IL warn

fcarfully touchy. suppose it's because,
as they can't sec, they arc afraid of bein
hurt all the time. More people get bit
by rattlcsnakcs in August than in all the
rest of the year put together: You see,

themselves up right alongside of a road

though, cause with proper care they can
always be cured. After dark is the
mcancst time for r~attlers, in August.
You see, generally the RATHER goes to slccE
at shutdown, or if he is awake he is afraid
and keeps quiet. But in August hist"n'

can't sleep well, and he is just at apt as

Alcohol in Bread.

In fermentation the yeast, from the
materials which it finds in the dough,
forms two new substances (ncithcr Of
them having been there bcforc) alcohol
and carboni. acid. The presence of the
alcohol is of decided Importance though
it is not commonly recognized. Very
few persons are aware of the amount of it
which is produced in bread making. OF
course. in the process OF baking the
greater part of i, is %cvaporatcd. but ii is
Il safe estimate to reckon that very nearly
a thousand gallons are lost daily from the
bread baked in New York alone. Some
twenty-five years ago a company was
formed in London and erected works for
baking bread in such u way that the al
cokol should be condensed and saved. 1t
was easily done; the alcohol was made
and sold to good advantage, but after
spending at least 500, 600 the company
failed. Why? The alcohol was a clear
profit. Yes. but tEcy could not sell
their bread. They cvaporatcd the alcohol
so closely hat the people pronounced
it unpalatable. and would not use it. In
fact, all good yeast bread contains still a
very appreciable quantity of alcohol, and
owes a part of its excellence to its pres
ence. We may reckon the quantity at
ten to twenty drops in an ordinary loaf
of bread. Not enough, Of course, to pro
duce any physiological %etfec:, and yet
enough to affect the quality of the bread.

The Inventor of Gaslight.

The Scotch youngster who made him
self a wooden hat, by gearing his turning
lathe to m eccentric motion, is known to
most people by Il single anccdote, telling
how that piece of ingenuity almost acct
dentally brought him into notoriety and
lucrative employment. Few who enjoy
the warmth of the steam pipes and radia-
tors in their houses, and the light of the
gas lamps in our city streets, or admire
the magical working of the pneumatic
cash tubes in the large city stores, know
that the original inventor of these three
wonderful convcnicnces Of civilization
was William Murdoch, the boy who made
the wooden hat.
Murdoch was an inventive fellow from
an early age, resembling our own Thomas
Edison in the fertility and activity Of his
genius.
His experiments in chemistry were per-
formed after working hours, and being
driven with orders and almost constantly
on duty rs Il machinist. his examination
of different fuel vapors led him to the
discovery of the excellent burning quail
ties of coal gas. He kept on distilling
and combing until he had proved his dis
cOvcry: then he described it in 4 paper
to the royal society, and received the
large Rumford gold medal.
That was all he got for his invention,
for he never patented it. Had he done
so he might have been Immediately rich;
for though the common people cried out
against the danger of tircpipcs, and mem
bcrs of Parliament secuted the idea of Il
light without Il wick, and Sir Walter
Scott had his joke ut illuminating
London with smoke" and even Sir
Humphrey Davy ridiculcd the new dis
covcry as impossible, he lived to sec gas
used everywhere, in streets. shops, fac
tories, and private dwellings,.
An anccdotc in connection with this
invention, showing how ready in eXpcdi-
cnts Murdoch was. is related Of him
when he was in Manchester engaged in
putting up Il steam engine. lie was IN
vited. with William Fairbairn, to dine ut
Mcdlock Bank, then at some distance
from the lighted part of the town. 1t
was Il dark winter night, and how to
reach the house over the bad roads was Il
puzzle to his companion; but Murdoch
went, and after a little delay got Il blad-
der filled with gas, and placing it under
his arm like Il bag-pipc, discharged
through the stem of an old tobacco pipe
a stream of gas, which enabled them to
walk to their destination in safety.
Murdoch died in 1889, in his eighty
fifth wear,

TOrpedOeS.

David Bushnell, of Connecticut, was
the first to introduce torpedo warfare on
our side Of the water. One of his earliest
attempts was the famous Battle of the
Kegs" when he cast adrift from Borden
town in III a number of floating torpc-
does in the shape of kegs for the purpose
of annoying the British shipping at
Philadelphia. The effect of his eXpcr-
imcnt. however. proved more amusing to
the Americans than disastrous to the
British. For the latter, fearing the rapid
formation of the ice, had warped in their
ships to the wharvcs, thus escaping Mr..
BuShncll's unfricndly designs. The kegs
were charged with g%unpowdcr, and were
to fire and explode by 4 spring-lock
on touching the bottom of Il vessel.
One which was taken up by the crew
of Il barge exploded, killing four of
the men and w%oulding the rest.
The alarm of the explosion set the whole
city in commotion. Soldiers and sailors
lined the wharvcS. lIousckecpsrs and
children hurried to their homes for shell
ter. The British ran to their places of
muster: horns, drums, trumpcts sounded
everywhere to arms, while cavalry and
horScmcn added to the din and noise by
daShing to and fro in wild confusion.
The kegs themselves could not be scen-
only the buoys which floatcd them were
above watcr-so imagination ran riot.
They were kegs filled with rebels; the
points of their bayoncts had Dcen seen
sticking through the bungholcs; they
were tillcdwith combustiblcs which would
turn the Delaware into IL sheet of flame
and cnvclop all the shipping: they were
magic machines, which would mount the
wharvcs and roll in flames into the city.
The firing was incessant, and the best
efforts of the officers and men
were concentrated upon every viSi-
lille floating stick or chip. The
story of the day has come down to us in
Francis Ilopkinson'S humorous song, en-
titled THE Battle of the Kegs" of
which the following is an extract:
These kegs. | am told, the rebels hold,
Packed up like picklel herring,
And they've come down to attack the town
In this new way of ferry ing.
"The soldiers few. the sailors too,
And. scared almost to death, sir,
Wore out their shoes and spread the news,
And ran till out of breath, sir.
"Arisc, arise, Sir Erskinc cries,
The r,belS, more's the pity,
Without q boat are all afioat.
And ranged before the city
"The royal banl now ready stand
All ranged in dread array. sir,
With stomach stout to STE it out
And make a bloody day, sir.
"Such fiery feats did they perform
Among those wicked kegs, sir,
That years to come, when they get home,
The-ll make their boast and brag, sir"
