Fed With Live Rabblts.

A big crowd stood in front of James
Burns animal depot yesterday and gazed
in through the open door, where in the
rear of the store was visible big glass
box, in which writhed and twisted three
of the largest boa constructors ever.
broughtto this country. They were part
Of consignment of animals recently
shipped to Mr.. Burns.
s'lt's almost time for the rabbits to ar
rive from Brooklyn, " said James Burns,
the son of the proprietor, sand when
they get here I'll show you sight worth
seeing. Those three snakes are big ones,
and measure IA, Is and 28 feet in length,
respectively. The biggest one is over
thirty inches in circumference. The long
sea voyage always makes them hungry,
and they generally take three rabbits
apiece before they are content togointo'
torpidity. Then they require no more
feeding for several months. These are
genuine African boa constructors, and the,
largest one is worth $780,"
AT this juncture the man from Brook
lyn arrived with basket. and inside Of
it covered three fat rabbits.
sAh," said Mr.. Burns, now TIL show
you something" He lifted one OF the
Dummies out Of the wicker cage, and,
raising the top of the glass box, dropped
it inside.
Two OF the snakes were quiet, but the
largest one was raising and lowering it's
scaly head against the glass and shooting
out its forked tongue, as though it knew
what was coming.
''Brer Rabbit" did not appear at all
frightened, but ran over the serpents'
backs and finally shifted at the small
head of one of the enormous reptiles.
For moment there was q pause, then.
came a sudden flash and the rabbit was
caught in the powerful jaws and quickly
crushed to death.
For few moments the boa fondled
the dead rabbit and licked at it as cat
does kitten, altar which itagain seized
its prey by the head and slowly swallowed
it. y
The other rabbits were saved for a
later feast. - New York World.

Relic of Serpent worship.

A huge serpent mound has been discoy-
cred in the Carthage road between
Quincy and Carthage, ILL.,, by the Rev.
S. d. Peet. A clearly defined rattlesnake
lies coiled along the ground following the
line Of the bluff. Its entire length is
/, ,450 feet. The ridge has been ploughed
down until it is now only two or three
feet above the surface, but the outlines
are still plainly discernible. The mounds
at the coils of the serpent are ten or
twelve feet high. The specific dimen-
sions are six hundred feet from the head
to the coils; the coils occupy space
three hundred feet in length and are
made up of four distinct mounds 100 feet
apart. From the coils to the rattle Of
the snake is 450 feet, and there are three
rattles occupying spaceof 100fe The
serpent lays north and south, straight
line drawn through it showing de1ec-
tion to the east of fifty feet near the head
and seventy-five feet near the tail. Mr..
Peet explored one Of the mounds. and a
few feet below the surface found the re-
mains of five persons, but he. does not.
think that these are the remains Of the
serpent worshipers, which he thinks are
buried deeper. He will make further
explorations.

Asbestus Mining in Canada.

Mining is carried on by cutting down the
hills of asbestus bearing serpentine, much as
a farmer cuts down stack of hay or straw,
or by open quarrying on the level The rock
is blast out, and the asbestus separated from
the containing rock, is ''cobbed"-i e., sepa-
rated by hammering from adhering foreign
matter. This ''cobbing'' is comparatively
easy matter in the case Of the finer quality,
as it usually separates readily from the
gangue, but in the lower grades much diff
Guilty is experienced in separating the fbrous
matter from the non-fbrous. At best there
is great waste Much of the asbestus is in
thin or narrow veins, and is wasted, as by
the present mode of operating it does not pay
to separate this from the serpentine. A ma
chine that will enable these narrow veins to
be utilized is a desideratum.
When ''cobbed," the asbestus is graded ac-
cording to purity, color and length of fiber
into three grades and bagged for shipment.
The finest quality or ''firsts" finds ready sale
at prices ranging from SO to $40 per ton
seconds" fetch from $40 to $40 per ton
while ''thirds" may be valued at s13 to $1s
per ton. In good mines the yield of asbestus
is from to S per cent of the rock quarried
and the cost of mining may be put down al
S25 to $50 per ton. Returns obtained by the
geological survey of Canada show that, fol
the year 1883, Canada's output was 4, 404 tons
valued at the mines at $685., 900, and this the
output of nine different mines. Over three
fourths of the whole was shipped to the
United States; small quantities going tc
Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium
and Italy, and being used in domestic manu-
featuring. -Professor J. T. Donald In Popu

Tho Story of Lots Wife,

The question which a religious oriental put
to himself in ancient times at Usdum wa.
substantially that which his descendant today
puts to himself at Kosseir: "Why is thi.
region thus blasted?"- whence these pillars
of salt?' or 'whence these blocks of grantee
-"what aroused the vengeance of Jehovah
or of Allah to work these miracles of desola
tion?''
And just as Maxine du Camp recorded the
answer of the modern Shemite at Kosseir, SC
the compilers of the Jewish sacred books re-
corded the answer of the ancient Shemite al
the Dead sea; just as Allah at kosseir blasted
the land and transformed the melons into
powders which are seen to this dav, SO
Jehovah at Usdum blasted the land and trans
formed Lots wife into pillar of salt, which
is seen to this day.
No moro difficulty was encountered in the
formation of the Lot legend to account for
that rock resembling the human form than
in the formation of the Niobe legend, which
accounted for a supposed human resemblance
in the rock at Sipylos; it grew up just as we
have seen thousands of similar myths and
legends grow up about striking natural APP
pearances in every home of the human race.
Being thus consonant with the universal
view regarding the relation of physical
geography to the divine government, it be-
camc treasure Of the Jewish nation and of
the Christian church-a treasure not only to
be guarded against all hostile intrusion, but
to be increased, as we shall see, by the myth
making powers of Jews, Christians and Mo-
hammedans for thousands of years.-Andrew

Railroad Literature.

spend great deal of time travelling over
the railroads of the country, and naturally l
have something to do with the trainboy and
his stock in trade. Twas in a reflective mood
the other day as 1 was carried along through
the mountains of West Virginia towards st.
Louis, and it occurred to me that in the last
ten years there had been a great improve
ment in the quality of the literature sold on
the trains. Formerly the trainboy had moth
ing to offer one who wanted to read except
the most dreadful kind of sensational books
describing the exploits of burglars and conf
dence men; or, if he found that his customer
was not that kind of man, he would rush
to the other extreme and try to sell him a
volume of Moody's sermons Nowadays the
newsboy hands you Howells, James and Toll
stoi, and sells the books, too, and even his
1ashy stuff gets hardly lower than '.That
Frenchman" of Gunter, or book of Laura
Jean Libbey. 1t may be that the taste of the
reading part of the travelling public has
changed considerably in ten years, or it may
be that the news companies have more intel
ligent men selecting the books to be sold on
the trains. At any rate we must all feel
grateful for the change.-Traveler in st.

1t Acts Both Ways.

Although the iron used for making
steel plates has been cheaper in this
country for a month or So past than in
Great Britain, tariff Of 1928 per ton
enables Mr.. Carnegie to extort from Du-
luth ship builders $50 per ton for 5000
tons of steel plates, which could have
been bought in Glasgow for half the
money. The lake vessels to the cost of
which the tariff has added this $15e, 900
will be used in carrying northwestern
wheat to foreign free trade markets, and
this extra cost will of course be added
to the freight charges and ultimately
come out of the pockets of wheat grow
ers. If they cannot see how the tariff
reduces the price of every bushel they
send to market by rail or water, they
cannot, of course, see how it robs them
of a large part of what they get for it by
laying taxes on their clothing, sugar and
all they buy.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
