II have had an antipathy to copper
heads since l was boy and saw this
snake at Marbletown. It is a sneak
Ing mean snake. There was a path
the mon used near the house where I
lived and the copperheads would lie
along the path in the sun and strike
their poisonous, fangs at whoever came
near them. One man was bitten
through the clothing, and his leg
swelled as big as a keg and became as
blue as indigo. He narrowly escaped
with his life, notwithstanding the fact.
that most Of the poison was absorbed
by the clothing and did not reach the
wound. Each year thereafter, at the
date when the man was bitten.
the leg would become spotted and
swell and break out just as though. he
had been bitten again" , 49, =.
One of the safeguards used by farm
hands when at work in hay or grain
on ground infested by these reptiles is
to bind twisted bands of hay around
their legs says the Kingston Freeman.
The snakes jump up and strike their
fangs in the hay without reaching the
flesh. There is a legend of one chap
in Wawarsing, famous as a mower
with a scythe to the effect that he
carried on his legs three copperheads
half way across field while moving.
The snakes on striking at the man be-
came fastened in the hay bands and
dangled from his calves to the terror
of his fellow workers who saw him.
When informed of his danger no said
that was nothing. He was acquainted
with the snakes. To prove it he bet

field the heads of copperheads could
be seen above the grass as they raised
on their tails to ascertain the mean
ing of the unwonted sound. The bet
was paid. and the man drank the
whisky and cut and gathered tho hay
alone. for no one else could be hired
to work in that field from that day.

TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND.
The Ice Flelds OF Former Glacial
Period. i6

& 4 i
The leo Flelds or n Former Glacial
Period. ii
a couple OF hundred Thousand wears
ago or thereabout- don't let us haggle,.
pey OF you pleads a writer IN the
Cornh1ll Magazine, over few casual
centuries the whole of northern Eu-
rope and America was covered from
end to end. as every body knows, by a
sheet OF solid ice, like the one which
frlthlof Manson crossed from sea to
sea on his own account in Greenland.
For many thousand years. with occa-
sional warmer spells, those vast ice
sheets brooded, silent and grim, over
the face OF the two continents. Life
was extinct as far south as the lati-
tude OF New York and London. No
plant or animal survived the general
freezing. Not creature broke the
monotony of that endless glacial
desert. At last. as the celestial cycle
came round in due season, fresh con-
dltlons supervened. Warmer weather
set in and the ice began to melt Then
the plants and animals of the sub.
glacial district were pushed SLOWLY
northward by the warmth after the re-
treating icecap. As time went ON,
the climate OF the plains got too hot
to hold them. The summer was too
much for the glacial types to endure.
They remained only on the highest
mountain peaks or close to the south
ern limit of eternal snow. In this way
every isolated range in either CONT
nent has its own little colony of arctic
or glacial plants and animals, which
still survive by themselves unaf
1ected by intercourse with their un-
known and unsupported fellow-crea-
lures elsewhere
Not only has the glacial epoch left
these organic traces of its existence
however; in some parts of New Hamp-
shire, where the glaciers were un-
usually thick and Deep fragments
OF the primeval ice itself still remain
on the spots where they were original
~ stranded. Among the shady glens
Of the White Mountains there occur
here and there great masses of ancient
lce' the unmelted remnant of primeval
glaciers; and one of these is so lare e
that an artificial cave has been clever
ly excavated in it as an attraction for
tourists by the canny Yankee proprie-
tor. Elsewhere the old ice blocks are
buried under the debris of moraine
stuff and alluvium, and are only accl-
uentally discovered by the sinking of
what are locally known as ice wells.
No existing conditions can account
for the formation of such solid rocks
OF ice at such a depth in the soil.
They are essentially glacier-like in
origin and character; they result from
the pressure of snow into a crystal
line mass in mountain valley and
they must have remained there I'M.
melted ever since the close of the
glacial epoch. which. by DR.. Croll' S
calculations. must most probably have
ceased to plague our earth some 80, =
900 years ago.

The Deacon Divorce Case.

PARIS, Oct. l3.-This is the day set
for the trial OF the case of Edward
Parker Deacon against mis- wife Mrs.
Deacon. 1t is the beginning of the
eud of case which has attracted in
terpational interest, as both Mr.. and
Mrs. Deacon are members of the very
best families of the United States.
The charge against Mrs. Deacon is
that of adultery, and the co-respon-
dent IN the case is Mr.. Abeille, the
man killed by Mr.. Deacon. For this
CRIME the latter has just ended al
most a years imprisonment. Ii the
charge of adultery is proven the
penalty to be paid by Mrs. Deacon
will be imprisonment for a period OF
between twelve months and two
wears. If extenuatiDg circumstances
be shown fine may be sub
stituted for imprisonment. Mr.. Dea-
con is confident, however, that the
charge will be proved true In it's full
significance, as he has new and
abundant evidence against his wife.
Should Mrs. Deacon be condemned to
imprisonment, Mr.. Deacon may eXer-
else his legal right under the French
Ia" duu buspChu ohO OAONNtAS' VI WV
penalty. The case will be tried before
Judges. No jury will be called. Mrs.
Deacon is expected to be present dur
ing the trial. If she Is absent, how
ever, the court will have no power to
hear her defence. Owing to the prac-
tice of the French courts as regards
obligations in the matter of residence
and the location of the children, Mr..
Deacon will not sue in France for
divorce. What proceedings he may
take upon his return TO the
United States has not been positively
determined, or, II determined, has not
been made known. His intention
now, however, is that should the de-
cision of the Grasse court establish
beyond legal question the adultery of
his wife with Abeille, he will obtain
q divorce and right to care for his
children from the American courts.
This he expects he will be able to do
without opposition. Although she
obtained the care of the children
during Mr.. Deacon's term of impris-
onment, he has through an order of
the Paris tribunal obtained control of
two of the children. The baby, which
Mr., Deacon claims is the child OF NJ.
Abeille. he has not asked for. All
the efforts OF Mrs. Deacon to see her
husband have thus far proved fruit
