black and white and carmine and yellow.
These lovely but deadly little creatures
live in the ground, where they pursue the
harmless burrowlng snakes. on which they
feed; but may sometimes be found wan
derIng about on the surface in the evening
or early morning. and might easily be mis-
taken for q varegated coral necklace.
There is a story told at Martinique of
two sailors who made this mistake, and
paid for it with their lives. They had
gone ashore at Fort de France, and set out
for morning walk into the country. By
the roadside they saw what appeared 10 be
q coral necklace, dropped, as they thought,
by some native girl. They picked it up
and were surprised to find 10 to be little
sluggish snake, not thicker than lead
pencil. AS it moved slowly through their
fingers and didn't seem to be at all irri-
table. they first admired its brilliant scar
let black and white rings and finally deter
mined to carry it back to the ship TO show
to their comrades. On the way it bit them
both. They then killed it and sat down In
the same place, thinking that the effects
of the poison of so small reptile would
soon pass off. About midday, however,
they were both found lifeless, with the
coral snake lying dead close by.
The tree snakes have amongst them
every shade of green and azure, of purple
and gold and pearl; rivaling the beauty of
the gorgeous hummins birds and the but
tertiies as they glide about among the
flowers in the sunshine. The rattlesnakes
and other vipers, as we'll as the great boas
and pythons, are arrayed in more sober
hues of black and brown and yellow, SO
nicely blended that it is often difficult to
tell whore one ends and the other begins.

Columbus was the eldest son of Dominica

Mrs. Anns Chapman Tries to Knl Her
 Husband Because He Loved Another.
 Sr. LOUIS, June 25.-Among the strange revelations in police circles yes- terday was the attempt of a woman to kill her husband because he had trans fsrred his affections from her 10 anoth- CT woman. The story came ont in the First District Police court when Mrs. Anna Chapman was arraigned for trial on charge of carrying concealed weap- ons. The principal witnesses against the woman were Officers Lucy aud Whalen of the Second Police district. They claimed that they had arrested Mrs. Chapman late Sunday night on street car of the South St. Louis rall- way. She was rather loosely attired and had loaded revolver concealed un- der torn apron. At the time she stated that she was on her way to the house of her rival who had lured her husband to her arms and was keeping him away from home. Mrs. Chapman was arrested and removed to the Sou lard Street station, creating quite & scene along the road by screaming and attempting to bite, kick and hit her custodians. The defendant partially admitted the charge and Judge Morris fined her s25 and costs.
