THE GARTER SNAKE

Tn Its Infancy It Feeds Almost Exclus sively on Earth-Worms.
 few summers ago had large fe-
 male sirtdtus which had been caught
 the previous spring, in Q vivarium by
 herself. was greatly astonished one
 morning to find that the vivarium con
 tained twenty-eight snakes instead of
 one, the happy mother having during
 the night given birth to twenty-seven
 baby snakes. They were quite a lively
 little party, crawling about and over
 their mother with unmistalxable in tantile glee. Notwithstanding their playful activity, they wore continually yawnlng during the morning, perhaps not fully recovered from their pre- natal sleep. The first thing thought of was how and what to feed this interest Ing family. I knew that toad or frog, once or twice a week, was food sufficient Tor the mother, but the snakelets did not appear able to master large grass hopper, much less toad. Having been informed that young snakes fed upon insects, l at once went on a collecting trip and secured number of crickets, grasshoppers, beetles, flies, moths and caterpillars for them, but not one even attempted to catch or swallow one ot the insects. At last I concluded to try earth-worms (Lum6ricus). The first worm I brought to them was recognized by several of the snakes when yet about three feet away from the glass front of their cage, and the worm had scarcely dropped from the forceps in my hand before Ave of the baby snakes seized upon it, and such fighting, twisting, rolling and pull ing l never before witnessed! The worm was torn apart, and four snakes began greedily to swallow the two pieces. One of the snakes not only swallowed his end of the worm, but also the head of his brother who was at work at the opposite end, and when the snake discovered that while eating he was being eaten, the writhing and squirming was indescribable until the unfortunate snake disengaged his head and neck from the teeth of his brother. After this had no trouble in feeding, having discovered what may be called the milk for baby garter snakes. am of the opinion that many species of our land snakes, when immature, feed upon earth-worms. Dr. Holbrook, in his work, North American Herpetol- Ogy," says that the little brown snake, StoreTta De Kdyi, feeds upon insects, but l could never get them to eat insects of any kind. Earth-worms were their only food. Tho mature garter snakes feed mainly upon toads and frogs. I have never known them to be insectivorous In captivity I have seen them swallow salamanders and small fishes, but doubt very much if they ever pursue and capture the latter in the water.-Soien- tif1o American.

Rich WIves for NrIniatars.

A clergyman writing in the Chicago Advance says: A friend of mine says that ministers ought always to marry rich women He is rather a self-indul- gent fellow. He emphasized his remark by adding that any minister is fool who does not marry wealth. scoffed at him and said: ''You are altogether too material Many women of wealth will not marry ministers-they are not fitted for the position that minister's wife must have. You look at it simply as an exchange of Q minister's social position for the wealth which woman would bring. Such bartering is not honorable. It hurts the minister thus to sell and to buy. Of course," also srid, If good woman Is wealthy her wealth constitutes no insurmountable barrier to minister's marrying her if he loves her and she him. Even rich people may be good and loved and low ing"

A Clever English Rascal Bleeds an Equal

 A stock broker who was on his way to the city observed that one of his fellow passengers in the bus was eying him, and after time the man leaned over and asked: Didn't see you in Liver pool in 1s792"
 The broker wasn't in Liverpool that year, but thinking to humor the stranger, he replied in the affirmative
 Don't you remember handing a poor, shivering wretch a half-crown one night outside the Royal HotelP"
 "T do."
 "Well. Pm the chap. was hard up out of work and about to commit sui eide. That money made a new man of me. By one lucky spec and another, ' am now worth s5. GOO"
 "Ah! glad to hear it"
 "And now want you to take a sov- ereign in place of that half crown. I can not feel easy until the debt is paid. |"
 The broker protested and objected, but finally, just to humor the man, he took the s5 note offered him and returned the s4 change. The stranger soon left the bus, and every thing might have ended then and there if the broker, on reaching the office, hadn't ascertained that the "hver" was counterfeit and that he was s4 out of pocket-London City Press,

Composition of Greek Fire

The secret of the composition of Greek fire was carefully guarded by the Greeks, and its effects were much magnified by the ignorance oi the sol ders and sailors. It was said to be i'm extinguishable itself, and to impart the same quality to every thing 1t touched. It was also said to burn downward as well as upward, which was in those days considered an extraordinary phe- nomenon. Though nothing positive has come down to us regarding the ex- act composition of this fire, Commander Barber, who has recently made special study of gunpowder and kindred mate rials, inolines to the opinion, which is encouraged by the researches of modern chemistry, that the essential ingredients of this baleful gre was nothing but salt peter. It's hissing, flaming and roaring in the air. which were among it's most frightful qualities. would thus be ac- counted for; and as saltp0ter contains its own oxygen, it is almost inOx- tinguishable when combined with oar~ bonaceous matteE-N.

EARLY AUTUMN.

The country lanes arc bright with bloom And gentle airs come stealing through. Laden with native wild perfume
 Of balm ana mint and honey dew, And OCT the summers radiant flush Lies early autumn's dreamy hush. In way-side hooks the asters gleam,
 And frost.flowers dance above the sod, While, lapsing by, the silent stream
 Reflects the hue of golden rod, That flower which lights duslSy day With something of the sun-god's ray. The grapevine chambers o'er the hedge
 In golden festoons; sumacs burn Like torches on tho distant ledge,
 Or light the lane at every turn, And ivy riots everywhere In blood red banners on the air. A purple mist of fragrant mint
 Borders the fences, drifting out Of fostering corners, and its tint,
 As half of cheer and half of doubt, Is like the dear delightful haze Which robes the hills these autumn days. And strange wild growths are newly met; Odd things but little prized of yore, Like some old jewel well reset,
 Take on a worth unseen before, As dock, in spring graceless weed, Is brilliant in it's autumn seed. The cricket and the katydid
 Pipe low their sad prophetic tune, Though airs pulse warm the leaves amid As played around the heart of June; So minor strains break on the heart, Foretelling age as years depart. The sweet old story of the year
 Is spinning onward to it's close, Yet sounds as welcome on the ear
 As in the time of op'ning rose. May life for all as swcetly wane As comes the autumn-time againl

VOLCANOES AT WORK.
Many EruptiOns from old Craters on
 Alaskan Islands.

Many EruptiOns from old Craters on
 Alaskan Islands.
 The steamer Arago, which recently returned from St Paul and Oonalaska, brought information that within the last few months strange reaction of nature has developed on several vol Canic islands, attended, in some in stances, with serious results. Until within the past few years the craters distributed throughout Alaska were thought to be extinct. The natives. who seem to have an inherited dread of what they call the fire god," became sufficiently courageous to establish set dement's at the very base of the vol canoes.
 Whom the volcano at Bogoslov com menced to emit smoke some time ago it was thought that that would be the ex- tent of the eruption. Later on, as pub- lished, lava and cinders were emitted from the crater in alarming quantities. The theory advanced by an officer of the Arago, who has given the matter con- siderable study, is that the action of the Bogoslov volcano has affected and is af- fecting all the others.
 While the Arago was up north a vol SoAAS AOS"OON OA 1AuhdOdh 1S1duu, WQlC0 had been extinct for hundreds of years, alarmed the native village at it's base. The top, which was visible, became ob- scured, and clouds of sulphurous smoke covered the sky. The natives were panic-stricken at the sight. In hot haste they commenced to remove to e more distant part of the small island. Meanwhile huge volumes of smoke poured from the summit of the snow- covered mountain. At night beautiful sight was frequently witnessed. Long tongues of flame loomed up out of the crater and danced in the darkness. At other times fine showers of glittering sparks arose.
 Some of the older Indians prophecy that terrible eruption of lava will soon come from the Aukatan crater. They are leaving the island to flee from the danger.
 The volcano which recently sprung into action on the island of Unamak still continues to emit dense volumes of black smoke and cinders. In other parts of tho country supposedly extinct volcanoes are commencing to give signs of life, and are expected to become active in a few years.-San Francisco Chronicle.
