 Odd PIaco for . Snake.
 MT. Edward Jones, who resides at Alexandria, Va., was chopping some oak wood one evening when he came across g. piece that was very hard to split. He worked at 1t till it came apart, but was dumfounded when he found snake in the center of the tough piece, rolled up in 8 ball, with no means of ingress or egress. The wood had. grown around the reptile to the thickness of 9 inches on all sides, prov ing conclusively that he must have been there for many years. Some who viewed the stick and the smooth cavity where his snalkeship had lain calculated that not less than a hundred years had elapsed since he took up his abode where he was found. The most curious part of the story Is that the snake was not hard, dry or petri6ed; on the con- trary, he was as flexible as any snake would be rolled up in winter quarters. MT. Jones had several handsome offers for either the snake or the split stick showing his abode, but all offers were promptly refused.

Fast Running,

The subject OF quicker transporta-
ton OF passengers has attracted
wide attention Of late. An electric
railway has been talked of between
Chicago and st. Louis, to run at the
rate OF one hundred miles on hour.
One OF the popular magazines lately
had symposium of articles from
high railroad authorities on the pos
sibility of attaining a speed of more
than Sixty miles an hour. Theorists
are divided, but here are some facts
with which our readers may content
themselves until faster time is actu-
ally made:
