CAUGHT A RATHER.
FoolhardY Feat of "A New York BOY
Mine RattIPrs

An 1u-year old youngster of Monroe
Orange county, n. Y, is the first per-
son known in that section to have
caught and made prisoner a live rat
tier, without having been bitten One
day last week the little fellow took il
into his head to go up among the hills
on pleasure trip lie had no com
Panions with HIM. The entire region
surrounding MOmbasla lake is wild,
hitiy, and covered with woods, among
which are innumerable rocks. The
region is infested with rattlesnalles,
blacksnakes and COppcrheads as well
as others of the harmless varieties
The only snakes considered poisonous
are the rattlers and copperheads.
The little fellow was tramping
around the rocks with no special pur-
pose, and suddenly ran across large
rattleSnake that was lying motiOnlesS
on Hat rock near some bushes. With
out stopping to consider the danger of
close approach to the serpent the
BOY walked cautiously up and seized
ii around the body Just behind the
head. The snake squirmed and at
tempted to release itself, but the boy
held on with grit and determination
until the snake coileu itself about the
boys body. With the snake in that
position the boy walked back to the
village, and caused CONSERVATION
among the natives when he approached
several that he knew with the snake
still sluirming about HIM and its
mouth still open TO its full capacity.
When the boy was told that he was
holding a deadly rattlesnake in his
hand he suddenly got alarmed, and
would have released his hold had he
not been warned to cling tight and
avoid being BITTEN. The snake was
finally secured around the head and
rendered helpless, after which he was
uncoiled and placed in a large box
with glass window in it. On making
an examination it was found that the
snake had nine ratties and a button
The snake is still c mined in the box
and is on exhibition in one of the viii
lage stores.
The way the people accounted for
the boys escape is from the fact that
rattlesnalics shed their skins in Au-
gust, at which time they are very
stupid and partly blind. The little
fellow was barefooted at the time, and
that may have saved him. On hearing
the account of the boys daring en-
plot his mother took him to a doctor
TO be exam ned, thinking he might
have been bitten on the body, but she
vas assured that he was all right.

Suck, a Chinese merchant His body
was found in the street at midnight
| Blood was still oozing from a fresh
and terrible wound on the head IL
was evident that the wound had been
made by bullet which came out of

Itives are satisfied that the latest muir
der is only a continuation of the war
between the rival societies-the Suey
Sing Tong and the Suey Ong Tong.
These two societies are never at actual
peace, and the most trivial matter pre-
cipitates war between them. The
last trouble began in the Alaskan can
ncries. When the workmen were re-
turning to San Francisco on the
steamer a Suey Sing man was making
too much noise to suit member of
the Suey Ong The latter told him to
be quiet and was stabbed in the
shoulder. He recovered, but blood had
been spilled and it had to be avenged
Oct. 30 GOunm Cheong, member of
the Suey Sing Tong, was shot ana IA
tally wounded. His body was found
packed in a basket. Lew Sing Wo of
the Suey Ong Tong was shot in the
back and received a wound which will
probably prove fatal. A few months
later Young Yek Iii of the Suey Sing
Tong was shot in the back of the neck
and severely wounded, but will r.
cover. Up to that time two Suey Sing
men and but one Suey Ong man had
been shot, so il is supposed Sing Suck
belongs to the Suey Ong Tong, and
was shot to avenge the wounding of
Young Yek Hi These awful crimes
are likely to be continued until the
m1rderers are detected, Fears of

ters are entertained.

Peat as Raw Material.

Peat is forcing itself more and more
upon the attention of the industrial
world as a valuable raw material. In
Germany it is being utilized asa source
of bog-head naptha, tar, solar oil, pa
raffin, acetic acid and gas, and the peat
bogs Of North Germany and Sweden
are now being worked with view to
obtaining the elastic fiber, which, when
free from dnst, is used for weaving into
carpets and other textile fabrics.
Good peat also furnishes peat cellu-
lose, which obtains good price from
paper manufacturers, and when dried
is valuable as as packing material as a
substitute for straw litter. The dust
is especially adapted for preserving
perishable articles. Meat and fish have
been sent long distances packed in
this material and have reached Their
destination in perfect condition.
