When tho Duke of Argyll was Soc.
fotary OF State for India ho, as n stu
lent of natural history, took aspecinl
Interest in the question of killing pois-
pnous snakes. And tlcro cnmo to
him one day Mt the Indian Office tho
cunning inventor of machine called
tho nsphyxiator, by which it was easily
demonstrated that tho snakes could DO
killed in large numbers in tho holes in
which they dwell in India. It was not
difficult to show his grace that when
tho asphyxiator was applied to rabbit
hole the rabbit must either bolt or be
suifocated. Tho snake would be treated
In the snmo way MS n rabbit So the
Duke ordered some twenty nsphyxi-
ators, md sent them out to different
parts of India. 1t happened that was
Employed near Calcutta, and the Gov
frnment Of Bengal We're pleased to
brder mo to mako trial of the oon-
signmont of nsphyxhators, which thoy
regarded MS so many white elephants.
Tho asplyxiators wcre unpackcd, and
tho instructions which accompanied
them wore read. Thore was n sort of
fire'box in which pestilently smelling
| paper was to DO burned. Thera was q
wheel to be turned, 80 as to send tho
smoke from the burning paper through
o funnel into long nozzlo which was
10 be inserted in the snakes hole.
This, it will be seon, required The sery-
ices OF two men, ono to keep up the
firo and turn the wheel, and the other
to direct and hold tho nozzle-pipc. It
was also requisite that third man
should stand by with q stick, to kill tho
snake boiling from its hole. We turned
out with tho apparatus properly
manned, lighted the fire to get up
smoke, and applied the nozzle to hole
in bank near the stable, which was
supposed to hold snake. The smoke
was injected, and out there bolted Q
terrified rat. Tho man with tho stick
struck ut the rat and broke the nozzle
pipe. Tho man ut the nozzle-pipe
jumped back against the man who was
turning the wheel, and in their fright
they both tumbled down. The rot es-
cnped, but If it had bsen n snake in
stead Of rat, it isyery probable that
ono OF the three operators might have
been bitten. The mon lost confidence
in the machine and declined to work
it. 1t was taken indoors, and put into
nm anteroom, whore the native watch
man usually took up his quarters. Ono
cold night the watchman closed tho
doors OF the room and lit quantity of
the medicated paper to warm himself.
In tho morning well-asphyxiatod
watchman was found, but luckily ho
was brought round with deluges of
@ater. This, however, was the end of
the official care 81 of the Duke Of
ArgylPs snake.R tphyxiator in Bengal.

Digging Up a skeleto u.

DR.. James Ford, one of the pioneeru
Of Wabash, Ind, reports the finding
Of a skeleton on his residence lot in
this city. The bones were struck while
workmen were engaged in making ex.
cavations for a sewer, and were about
twenty inches below the surface in
compact clay soil. The skull was re-
moved and cleaned. Examination
showed that the sutures had ossifed
and the teeth gone, allowing the jaws
TO lock together. The teeth had evil
IDENTIFY fallen out before death. All OF
the bones are very fragile. The first
portion Of the skeleton struck by the
spade was the neck. The frame lay
IN AN opposite direction from the
course Of the ditch, the skull Just
reaching the edge OF the excavation.
DR.. Ford is of the opinion that the
body was buried fully eighty years
ago, and the remains are those Of
an Indian advanced in years. The
shape Of the skull indicates that il be,
longed 10 n Of the aborigines. The
fore part is low aud sunken and the
back protrudes, indicating a FREEDOM
nance Of the animal nature. IL was
the custom Of the original settlers 10

Water Tower.

Tie artesian wells of Dakota are
probably the most remarkable for
pressure and the immense quantity
of water supplied Of any ever opened.
More than 100 Of such wells, from 500
to LOGO feet deep, are today in success
ful operation, distributed throughout
twenty-nine counties, from Yankton,
in the extreme south, TO Pembina. in
the extreme north, giving forth a con-
slant, never varying stream, which is
in no wise affected by the increased
number Of wells, and showing a gauge
pressure in some instances as high as
l60. 40, LIS and Isl pounds to the
square inch. This tremendous power
u utilized in the more important towns
for water supply, fire protection and
the driving OF machinery at a wonder
ful saving on the original cost Of
plant and maintenance when compar
ed with steam. In the city OF Yapf;
ton a forty horse power turbine wLLeI,
operating a tow mill by day and an
electric light plant by night, is driven
by the force Of water flowing from an
artesian well, the cost of obtaining
which was no greater than would
have been the cost of developing the
same power. not counting the contin-
nal outlay necessary, mad steam been
employed, for fuel, repairs, and the
salaries for engineer and fireman.
What has been accomplished through
the al of natural gas and cheap fuel
IN building up manufactures else.
Whore, may some day be rivaled on
the plairies Of Dakota by tapping the
i~nexlaustible power stored ia natures
reservoirs beneath the surface. Fire

A new system Of canal construction
has been designed and recently patent.
ed by an Englishman. The object is
to do away entirely with the necessity
for steam or horse power in canal
traffic, and this end is sought to be at.
TIMED by the creation Of a current OF
water strong enough to carry the boats
along from point TO point. Mr.. Pick.
ard has designed a double canal, AT
u end on which is a screw, rescmb.
ling the propeller Of a steamship. This
screw, which is worked by steam
power, forces the current in one dircc.
ton aud causes il 10 return in the par.
allel division Of the canal, the direction
Of the current being reversible at will.
By this arrangement all loss Of water
is obviated and the bed Of the canal is
kept clean. This current is, of course,
confined TO each separate level OF
canal, and when locks intervene an
other current has TO be created. New
