pieces of the poi on glands. The wounds
thus occasioned heal in about four days,

seem after this to become absorbed by the
reptiles system. The cobra is the easie It

There ls one very prevalent disorder
whicH, though not Of dental character. is
treated chiefly by animal denti is. 1t is
that series of diseases of birds of which the
mocking bird Zip is the best type. The all
ment is probably occasioned by the mechan-
ical irritation of the food used, and con-
sists of a horny growth on the tongue
which gradually exte IDS from the root to
the tip. AS the abnormal growth progresses,
the bird finds ever increasing difficulty to
eat and sing finally losi & both its appetite
and power Of music. Painful sickness is
an invariable, and death a not uncommon
consequence. The treatment Is simplicity

nail at the root of the tongue. He scratches
it forward, the horn loosening with neither
difficulty nor pain, until the tip is reached,
when it falls Off clean, healthy, though
rather sensitive surface is left, which
toughens in a few hours, the bird regaining
its health and song at the same time. The
operation lasts only one or two minutes.
Any one who possesses the least patience
can do it without trouble. The animal den
lists or bird fancier charge 81 SO or 81 for
the service, aud regard it as one Of the soft
snaps" of the profession.
A trouble similar iu nature arises from
growth of the bill or claws when bird
has no opportunity to wear them down by
regular use. The beak is filed aud laws
are clipped with sharp scissors. Care should
be taken not to touch the quick, which
runs through both bill and claws, an cor
responds closely to the quick of human
nails. If this is touched, it not only pro-
duces great pain but also more or less hem
orrhage.

Found the Hero's Resting Place.
BosToN, April 21.-Harvard historians
think they have found the grave of Cap
tain Miles Standish, of Plymouth Rock
fame, and if. as seems probable, the
crumbling remains Of the doughty
warrior have been found, an inter-
esting historical controversy will be
settled Ii was known that the body had
been secretly buried somewhere in the old
town, but the exact location has not been
shown to the satisfaction of historians. A
memorandum from a centenaI an named
benjamin Pryor, which had beel given to
him by his father. who, in turn, bad been
told by his father, who attended the
funeral, was to the effect thai the grave
was marked by tw three e-coruere1 stones.
Harvard College historians interested EN-
selves in the matter, found the grave so
marked after a PROLONGED search, secured
permission TO open the grave, and last Mon
day they b. oke into the ancient burial
place. The searching party as beaded by
Fred R. K app of Harvard. Ibs one

By sounding it was found that another

sharp point or edge. Another which is far
less frequent is the abnormal growth of a
tooth, especially canine one, from not
having enough bones to crunch and gnaw
upon. The treatment in both cases is the

Another odd phase of animal dentristry
is the removal of the ia lgS of poiso lous
snakes. Formerly these were broken off by
using piecs Of wood and a hammer. This
gave satisfaction in most instances, but not
always. On several occasions cobr IS W oSe
fangs mad been broken off, have struck
keepers or neighDoring ANIMALS with serious
and even fatal results. TIE reason lies in
the fact that the glands which secrete the
virus are separate from the fangs They
are practically little poison bags situated in
the gum and nnected with The fangs by
short tubes. The fangs are chauuele so as
to be half hollow. When not il use they
are folded back and close the tubes by their
stion. When the reptile empl Us them,
they are thrown forward, the tubes a

practice is based upon this fact. TIE SER

The hippo never moved during the exam
ination until the bad tooth was touched by
the keepers hand Then it groaned and
and cked the ivory with its tongue. Conk
lir, satisfied with his study, procured some
aconite and Sulphuric ether and a pair of
powerful pincers, attached to steel chain
and tackle. He arranged the latter, SO that
the rope passed over a heavy beam in the
cage and tnen rubbed the gums of the giant
brute around the painful spot with the an
esthetic until nearly all the sensation was
destroyed. He then applied the pincers and
screwed them down until they would lift a
ton. The hippo scarcely moved during the
operation. The only signs of emotion it dis
played seemed more of satisfaction and re-
lief than anything else Conklin gave a
signal and the rope was violently pulled by
the menagerie attendants There was a
sudden strain, pause, and then the great
fang sprang out of the jaw and dangled in
the ar overhead. The hippo gave thun-
derous grunt, plunged into the tank and
washed its mouth until the bleeding ceased.
An hour afterward it was eating naturally.
When Conklin approached, it showed every
symptom of gratitude from endeaVoring
to rub its Shiny head against his body and
wigging its funny little tail. The tooth
was 81 inches long and was liberated
nearly all the way from the bottom of the

Seattle Prss: Judge Orange Jacobs
in the course Of an investigation Of the
shore land controversy, has found de-
cIsion or Chief Justice Marshall Of the
United States supreme court which set
ties the constitutional question involved,
and has been confirmed by repeated de.
cisions q later date. In the case Of
Rollard's lessees agAinst Hagan In regard
10 the location Of shore lands In Mobile
bay, congress passed . special oct con
frming The title Of the locater under the
federal law In order 10 end . long exist
Ing controversy, Chief Justice Maruhall
called attention 10 the provision Of the
combination that al new states must be
admitted 10 the union on an equality
with the old states, and that the old
states had the sovereignty over the shore
lands. Hsheld that, for this reason, all
new states have the same authority. This
decision, Judge Jacobs contends, sus-
tains the contention Of the prutestants
against the scrip fling, that the shore
lands are held in trust by the United
States for the state Of Washington, and
that therefore they are not open to occu-
pancy under the federal land laws or
grants BY congress.
Judge Jacobs draws q distinction b.
tween shore lands and tide lands. The
former he defines as the land between
ordinary high and low tide, while the
latter Is . loose term applied 10 both
shore lands and 10 what are legally
swamp Or overturned lands. The latter
term applies 10 large bodies Of the tide
fats over which the federal government
still has control, as other lands have
been given in lieu Of the swamp or over.
