Daily Yellowstone journal., 1889-05-22

Il is commonly believed among the
Hindoos that no animal is more re.
vengeful than the cobra, and that if 9
person attempts to kill il, or does Kill
its mate, IL never rests until il has
wreaked vengeance. An employee oil
the Madras Railway company. while
seated on the veranda OF his bungalow,
observed two large cobras on the bar
rem plain Immediately in front of the
house. Aiming himself with a SHARP
c~utlass, he sailed forth and succeeded
in killing one Of the reptiles, but the
other, although wounded, made its
escape. He then returned TO his bun
galow, and. later in the day, prepared
TO dress, when be was Mortified 10 see
a cobra coming in at the window. He
fled in alarm, and when he returned
with a gun the snake had disappeared.
The next night. when returning home,
he was pursued by the same snake,
aud had all he could do 10 escape.
This had such AN effect on his mind
that he made application for a change
to another division. but before the APP
plication could be granted the venge-
full cobra actually attacked him one
evening while ut tea and bit him on
the leg. The other guests killed the
snake, but the man never recovered in
spite Of the best medical aid.-Phila.

. Munster Snlher..

Far up in the mountains OF Ceylon
and India there is a spider that spins
a web like bright yellow silk, the cen
trail net Of which is five feet in diam
eter, while the supporting lines. or
guys, as they are called. measure some
times ten or twelve feet long; and
riding quickly in the early morning
you may dash right into il, the stout
threads twining round your face like
a lace veil; while as the creature who
has woven il takes up his position in
the middle, he generally catches you
right on the nose, and though he sell
dom bites or strings. the contact OF his
large body and long legs is anything
but pleasant. IL you forget yourself
and Try to catch him, bite he will,
and, though not yenomous, his jaws
are as powerful as a birds beak, and
you r not likely to forget the en-
counter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong
are the webs that birds the size OF
larks are frequently caught therein,
and even the small but powerfully
scaled lizard falls a victim. Often
have / sat and watched the yellow or
scarlet monster, measuring, when
waiting for his prey with his legs
stretched out, fully six inches. strid-
ing across the middle Of the net, and
noted the rapid manner in which he
winds his stout threads around the UNI
fortunate captive. He usually throws
the coils about the head, till the
wretched victim is first blinded and
then choked. In many unfrequented
dark hooks Of the jungle you come
across most perfect skeletons of small
birds, caught in these terrible snares,
the strong folds of which prevent the
delicate bones from falling TO the
ground after the wind and weather
have dispersed the flesh and feathers.

Enrca and Energy.

As far rs we know at present. the
simplest forms of matter-the ele-
ments-are distinct entities and IN
capable of being transformed into
another. They unite among them
selves TO form all the innumerable
substances of whicls the universe is
made up, but in themselves are I'M
changeable and indestructible. A
piece Of iron. for instance, can never
be changed into r piece OF copper. ora
grain of hydrogen gas into oxygen;
neither can we destroy or annihllate a
single atom Of these elements. There
is Just exactly as much hydrogen,
oxygen, iron, copper, ETC.. IN the uni
verse, as there has been in all the past
ages, and exactly the same amount
will continue to exist TO all eternity,
although their combinations with
themselves and other elements may be
altered an infinite number OF times.
Until some future investigator, in fol-
lowing certain clews at present but
dimly perceived by us. discovers that
the elements are but notifications OF
one primal form Of matter, we must
continue 10 believe that they are UNI
changeable. When, however, we
turn TO the different forms OF force
and energy by which, with matter,
the universe reveals itself TO u SEN
SEES. we find a very different state of
affairs. Heat, light, electricity, chem
zeal action, magnetism, force or work,
are all readily changed from one TO
the other with the greatest case. A
pound Of coal or pure carbon will,
when oxidized or burnt, always pro-
duce exactly so many units OF heat
From this heat Just so much power or
work a be obtained and no more;
this power will produce an invariable
number Of units of electricity or mag
netism; and the electricity, when
transformed into chemical action, will
| decompose a definite weight of a
chemical compound. Every pound
of coal. every ounce Of food, repre-
sents a certain amount OF energy, and
by no possibility can a greater amount
, be obtained from it, Ii is the legiti-
mate field of the inventor TO endeavor
to utilize all this energy in the form
in which il is desired and prevent the
enormous waste by its Transformation
into undesired forms, which at present
occurs even with our best and most
economical machinery. Any attempt
to do more is as sure TO end in failure
as would an attempt 10 prove that two
and two added together make five
