A snake swallowed a snake.

1t was back somewhere in the sixties
when the incident | am about to relate
occurred The date has not been put
back 80 as to prevent a critical exami-
nation by the incredulous. but because it
belongs to that period.
There were three of rs hunting prairie
chickens They were plentier then than
they are now. 1t was but a little task
to secure bag of them. But only a few
can have such rare treat now as the
breast Of a young prairie chicken fried.
AS we were tramping cautiously
through the thick, clean prairie grass
blue racer moved slowly out of our way.
1t was not the length of the snake that
attracted our attention, but its unusual
thickness and its indisposi ton to get
out OF the way. Neither did it show
any inclination to resist the invasion.
Its eyes had not the well known flash of
fight. The bulgug thickness of the
snake excited our curiosity After killing
it one Of the boys with his knife ripped
it open, and there to oEr great surprise
out rolled rattlesnaEe which was near
ly es loLg, and before he had been COM
pressed seemed to have been nearly as
thick as the racer He had, if remem-
Der correctly. 4 button and two rattles.
If | had the opportunity now, would
be more careful in the examination of
such rare natural wonder. | would
measure the length and thickness of both
snakes, and would also be sure to find
out whether the rattlesnake was swal-
lowed head or tail first, and whether he
had been started on his inland journey
before or after death
l had heard that snakes swallowed
toads and frogs without dissection, but
had doubts of the ability of the snake to
80 expand his throat; but after this Incl
dent doubt no more, and would not be
greatly surprised to hear of a racer swal-
lowing himself.-J. B. Marlin in Cen

How soundings Arc Made.


To get correct soundings in deep water
is difficult The best invention for that
purpose is shot weighing about thirty
pounds, which carries down a line
Through this shot or sinker hole is
drilled, and through the hole is passed a
rod of iron which moves easily back and
forth. At the end of the bar cup is dug
out, the inside being coated with lard.
The bar is made fast to the line, sling
holding the shot in position. When the
bar, which extends below the shot, touches
the bottom the sling unhooks, and the
shot slides downward and drives the lard
coated cup into the sand at the bottom.
In that way the character of the oceans
floor is determined Louis Republic.

One Suit for Six.

Writing in Century DR.. G. B. Gillespie
relates this incident of a Sunday in Co.
Iona, Cal, in 40:
A group of half dozen Indians espe-
cially attracted my attention. They
were strutting about in all the glory of
newly acquired habiliments, but with
this distinction-that one suit of clothes
was sufficient to dress the whole crowd
The largest and best looking Indian had
appropriated the hat and boots, and
without other apparel walked about as
proudly as any city clerk. Another was
lost in an immense pair of pantaloons.
A third sported nothing but white
shirt with ruffled bosom.
A fourth faunted blue swallow
tailed coat, bespangled with immense
brass buttons. A fifth was decked with
a fashy vest, while the sixth had moth
ing but red bandana, which was care
fully wrapped around his neck. Thus
what would scarcely serve one white
man just as effectually accommodated
six Indians

All On Account of a Pig.

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, which has lately
assumed the management of the public
pound, and John Partridge, who is the
officiating poundkeeper of this city and
county, are in trouble. 1t is all over
pig-the pet of man who walks the
streets followed by the animal, which
wears blanket and tamely answers its
masters call whenever it is given.
Neither the pig nor the man appar-
emily knows that they are the subject Of
much mixed controversy, but such is
the case. Questions concerning that
pig are pouring into the Office of the
poundkeeper and the Society for the Pre-
yention of Cruelty to Animals daily and
are becoming more complicated as the
time goes on. Here are some of them:
If a pig assumes the manners and
privileges of a-dog is it not also COM
PEELED to take upon itself the same re-
sponsibilities the dog has to carry?
Why is this pig not regularly regis
tered and licensed, and why does it not
have tag attacked to its collar, which
puts it on an equal footing with dog?
What right has this pig to the freedom
of the city?
What legal standing has this pig in
case it gets itself into any trouble?
What is the difference between a dog
and pig from a legal point of view?
How can man take out a dog license
for a pig, and would not pig travelling
with such u permit be liable to be ar
rested for false pretenses?
If Mr., Partridge or his deputies seize
this pig for not being licensed, will not
its owner have good cause of action for
damage suit against the city and
county?
Such are the knotty problems Mr..
Partridge has to wrestle with, and it is
because he doesn't know any solution of
them that his nights are either sleepless
or troubled with dreams, in which he
sees people with every kind of animal
from an elephant to mouse following
them about the streets as pets.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

The Desks in the Berkeley School.

Each pupil in the Berkeley school will
have, in the new building, desk of
polished hard wood and chair uphol-
stored in leather. Whenever a boy is
perfect in all of his studies for a whole
year he is to have his name neatly carved
on the lower side of the lid of his desk.
This is an old Rugby custom. Some
time ago the Marquis of Butte offered
100000 for twelve of the old desks in
Rugby school because of the historic
names carved thereon. Among the
names were those of Robert Peel and
William 2. Gladstone, rudely carved by
themselves Future generations may
find some great names carved on the lids
Of the Berkeley school desks. DR.. White
says that he has some good stock among
his pupils.-New York Times.

"This caseful of implements which
we have newly placed on exhibition is
designed to show the development of the
tool which we call the knife, beginning
from the earliest times" said Professor
Mason at the National museum. "First,
you observe, is the fragment Of flint,
which the savage split by banging it on
top with stone hammer into a number
of fakes The smaller ones were used
for arrow points and the bigger ones for
knives, their edges being split off so
sharp that you might almost shave with
some of them. Next you see the flint
inserted into a handle of split wood or
bone, and as farther improvements, the
fastenings of this primitive knife in the
handle by the rosin of trees and by cord
of one sort or another bound around to
secure it.
"The most beautiful knife in the col
lection is this exquisitely nodded blade
of greenish jade, belonging to the stone
age, branded with, a walrus tusk. You
can hardly find more admirably form
ed weapon among the products of mod
ern cutlery wares. Most curious of the
modern tools here is this sailors knife,
square at the end instead of pointed, to
prevent stabbing in row, or the dan
gerous falling of the weapon from aloft.
Its blade drops out at the end of the
handle when spring is touched, so
that Jack can hold rope with one hand
and open the knife for service without
the need of ten fingers. ."-Washington

A Valuable Cat,

S. W. Kimball, of Presque Isle, has a
Maltese cat which is valued as much as
a horse and buggy. The other day,
while Mr.. Kimball was away, the cat
came in from the barn and went to Mr..
Kimbalps wife, and after "mewing"
started to the barn again. This the
feline repeated three times, till at last,
to see what the cat wanted, Mrs Kim
ball followed it to the barn to where a
colt was hitched, and there found the
horse tied so securely that it could
scarcely move, and where, if it had re-
manned any great length of time, it
must have been severely hurt. if not
killed.-Lewiston Journal.

Points for Travellers.

Here are some facts that prospective
visitors to Europe this summer will find
it handy to cut out and treasure up for
the time at sea when they want to ap-
pear well booked as old tourists on mat
ters Of transatlantic travel. The first
steamship that crossed tlte Atlantic was
the Savannah, in 1919, in twenty-five
days, and the first regular line estab-
lished was the British and American
Royal Mail and Steam Packet company,
in 1910.
A knot is 6,08O feet long. The dis
tance from New York to Liverpool is
1904 nautical miles by the nsxthern
track and 3,139 miles by the southern
track. From Liverpool to New York
the distances are respectively 5000 and
3,109 miles In estimating records the
points taken on either side are Sandy
Hook and Daunt's Rock, Queenstown
harbor. The first light sighted on the
British coast is the Bull, Cow and Calf,
Ireland, and on the American coast
either Nantucket or Fire Island.
The largest passenger steamship in
commission is the City of Paris, 10, ,449
tons displacement, and the steamship
carrying the largest number of cabin
passengers is the Etruria, $50. The long
est steamship is the Teutonic, 5G5 feet.
The greatest days run record is 515
miles, A big steamship burns about 800
ons of coal a day, and the.average ex-
Iense of a voyage to Liverpool and re-
urn is $751; 900 for such vessel. A first
class steamship of one of the great lines
,osts nearly $s,0OO,OOO. = Philadelphia
