The CoBRA's REvENGE.-It is com.
monty believed among the Hindoos that
no animal is more revenoeful than the
cobra, and that if person attempts to
kill it, or does kill its mate, it never rests
until it has wreaked Vengeance An en-
ploye of the Madras Railway company
seated on the veranda of his bungalow,
observed two large cobras on the barren
plain Immediately in front of the house.
Aiming himself with sharp cutlass, he
sailed forth and succeeded in killing one
Of che reptiles, but the other, although
wounded, made its escape. He then re-
turned to his bungalow, and, latter in the
day, prepared to dress, when he was hor-
rltied to see cobra coming in at the
window. He fed in alarm, and when be
returned with gun the snake had dis
appeared. The next night when return
ing home, he was pursued by the same
snake, and had all he could do to escape.
This bad such an effect on his mind that
he made application for a change to an
other division; but before the application
could be granted the vengeful cobra at
tackled him one evening while at tea and
bit him in the leg. The other guests
killed the snake but the man never recov-
cred in spite of the best medical aid. -

STRATEGY OF THE ANTs.-A traveller in
South Africa tells of a singular combat
that he witnessed. He was musing one
morning, with his eyes on the ground,
when he noticed a caterpillar crawling
along at rapid pace, followed by hun
dreds of small ants. Being quicker in
their movements, the ants would catch
up with the caterpillar, and one would
mount his back and bite him. Pausing
the caterpillar would turn his head and
bite the ant and kill his tormentor
After slaughtering dozen or more of his
prosecutors the caterpillar showed signs
of fatigue. The ants made combined
attack. Betaking himself to a stalk 4
grass, the caterpillar climbed up tail first
followed by the ants. AS one approach
ed he seized it in his jaws and threw it
off the stalk. The ants, seeing that the
caterpillar ha too strong a position for
them to overcome, resorted to strategy.
They began saving through the grass
stalk. La few moments the stalk fell,
and hundreds of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar. It was killed at once

THE proaigate manner in which
natural gas is being burned up for mere
display in the regions where it has been
discovered gives color of possibility to
the reports, AYERS the New York Graphic,
that the natural gas supply is giving
ont. In most of the towns where natur-
al gas exists there has been passionate
effort TO see how much blazing gas could
be consumed in the shortest space of
time without any return. The skies
have been lit up, but the sources of sup
ply must necessarily have been subject
ed to useless drains. The extent of the
reservoirs IN the bowels OF the earth
from which the supply comes is un-
known, and as yet not possible of com
putation. The theory on which the gas
is used is that the supply is inexhausti-
BILE. 1t is giving out now in some
places, and thus demonstrating the
necessity of taking measures to prevent
its wasteful use The natural gas pro-
duct should come under the same legis-
lative provisions as those which are en-
acted to check the destruction of forests
and the contamination of streams and
rivers.

A New YoEK correspondent writes:
"A Philadelphia judge has just reached
a decision which is interesting to all
persons who ride III street cars. A pas
senger rendered a five dollar bill in pay
ment of his fare. The conductor could
not change it, and after an alteration
put the passenger off the ear. The pas
senger brought suit for assault and bat
terry against the conductor. In his
charge to the jury the Judge said: "When
n passenger gets ON street car it is his
duty to pay his five cents fare, and
if he cannot pay it it is his duty
to get off, aud if he does not get off
the conductor has right to use as much
force as is necessary to put him off. ANY
man who has a 500 bill, if the rule were
otherwise, might ride around in street
cars the balance of his life without pay
ing fare Under these instructions the
jury acquitted the conductor. The rail
road companies of Philadelphia are said
to be greatly pleased with the result Of
the suit. They say that they have lost
a large number of fares simply because
passengers persisted in handing eonduc-
tors bills OF so large an amount that
they were unable To break them.
The president of one of the roads stated
that he knew of man who succeeded
in riding free twicea day for six months
simply by playing the large bill racket
on conductors.

THE CRUISER CHARLESTON.
A Record OF Eighteen and a Quarter
Knots on Her Trial Trip.


Knots on Her Trial Trip.
From Our San Francisco Correspondent
The new cruiser Charleston left San
Francisco for Santa Barbara on her trial
trip, on the morning OF May 9TH. The
bar was breaking very badly and a
heavy sea was breaking, which at times
swept her on her starboard deck. She
rode this admirably, eliciting the highest
praise from all on board. No damage
was sustained, with the exception Of a
few slight wrenches TO the stanchions on
the bridge This test is considered a
good one and fully proves her sea-going
qualities. Her engines worked smoothly,
though they have not been subjected to
any severe test. OFF Santa Cruz there
was a delay OF four hours, due to the
heating OF journal.
The run was made at a speed ranging
from ten to fourteen knots per hour.
On MAY llth she ran south to point
ten miles below Point Duma, and, after
subiecting the boilers to a forced draft,
the cruiser was turned north under a
full head OF steam. Shortly after pass
ing Point Duma, on the northward run,
the whistle gave the signal that the ship
was ready for a test, and the first official
record began OF the ship in connection
with her horsepower development. Dur
ing a run of seventeen minutes the pro-
peIlers maintained one hundred and
seven revolutions TO the minute, the
horse power developed was fifty-fve
hundred and the average speed was
eighteen and a quarter knots.
The slide OF the starboard high-pres-
sure cylinder, which developed some
hard spots on the downward trip, again
became warm aud compelled the star
board engine to lower speed, while the
port engine maintained its full speed
and worked smoothly until it was al
lowed to drop down to the speed OF the
other engine. The cruiser returned to
port, both propellers making about
eighty revolutions during the remainder
OF the trip. The air pump maintained
vacuum of twenty-seven inches up to
ninety revolutions, and above that some
what less.
During the seventeen-minute run OF
the Charleston in Santa Barbara chan
mel. the actual horsepower developed
was 1928, at which an average OF 1917
knots was maintained with los revolu
tons OF the propellers. Soon ter leav-
ing Santa Barbara the ship was driven
at speed of Il 10 konts with natural
draft and. making easy steam. This was
with a development OF ALSO horsepower
and an average OF los revolutions.
When off Point Conception the thrust
bearing Of the port engine warmed up
and the ship was stopped to examine it.
As soon as the thrust caps had been
taken off, cleaned and replaced the
cruiser went ahead again, running at an
average of twelve knots to seventy-two
revolutions OF the propellers.

Four Of the Risdon Perfected Filler
Presses for the Honokaa Sugar Co.. also
four for the Pacific Sugar Mill, and
large number OF miscellaneous orders.
About two years ago the Alvarado Beet
Sugar Co. enlarged their factory. Most
OF this work was entrusted TO the Risdon
Iron Works. The diffusion battery was
renewed and capacity increased, an ad-
ditional slicing machine was supplied,
and two of the Risdon Patent Filter
Presses furnished, and it has been ac-
knowledged by the sugar company that
these presses are far superior to the i'm
ported presses formerly used"
