REAL SEA sERPENTs.

Tho Horrible Character Of Many OF thu
Marine Monsters.
The seas from Madagascar to Pan
anna and from Japan to New Zealand
are thickly infested with marine snakes
DIR. Steineger, the reptilian expert Of
the Smithsonian institution, says that
they are among the most poisonous of
all known serpents, their venom being
no less deadly than that Of the cobra
and rattlesnakes, says the Pittsburgh
Chronicle Telegraph. Furthermore they
are very fierce and aggressive, and will
commonly attack human beings II
they get q chance. They do not fre-
quent the shadows, unless possibly for
breeding, but live in the open ocean.
When full grown they are from six to
eight feet long.
Fishermen In the waters where they
are found are greatly afraid of them
Their bodies are fiat and the inside Of
them is almost wholly filed by the
lungs, which are large, In order that
they may be enabled to stay beneath
the surface for long time without
coming up to breathe. They have eyes
modified for seeing In the water, 30 that
when they are taken out Of their native
element they seem blinded and strike
wildly. Their fangs, like those of the
cobra, are always erect
Undoubtedly the giant squid, which
has only become familiarly known TO
science within q few years, has tre-
quently been mistaken for sea serpent.
In all qualities which can render q ma
rine monster horrible this huge and
fdRhtful mollusk may be said to COM
pare fsvorsbly with any creatureof fact
or fiction. When full grown It weighs
ten thousand pounds, having q body
fifty feet long, and two arms each one
hundred feet In length, as well as eight
smaller tentacles. A model Of 9 diminu-
tive individual, measuring only forty
two feet from the end Of It's tail 70
either tentacular extremity. Is on e1-
hibition at the National museum in

Remarkable Evolution Produced by Scs.
ontiflc Breeding.
D. E. Crawford, of the United States
fish commission, recently said to q
Philadelphia Press man:
eve have little doubt now that be-
fore two more years we shall have
evolved what the seaboard public has
been clamoring for for so many years
the boneless shad. OF course, don't
mean a shad that Is actually boneless,
but one that will be to all intents and
purposes as boneless as the founders Of
this country or the sole of England.
This will have been accomplished
by the cross breeding of the shad, the
founder and a peculiar jellyfish, which
Is a staple food among the seacoast
natives of Japan. The commissioner
had much difficulty in securing sup
ply OF these jelly-dshes In healthy,
living condition, but at last managed
to bring about one thousand one hum
dred OF them to San Francisco, and
thence to the Chesapeake Bay hatchery
in tank cars They have thrived amas-
ingly, and our experiments, while at
first rather discouraging, now leave but
little doubt of turning out succeusful.
"At first the crossing resulted In the
production OF q lot OF jellyfshes with
an elaborate outfit Of bones, which Yves
lust what we didn't want; but time
aud study allowed ~ our mistakes, and
now we have few hundred half-growu
shad with lea than eighteen per cent.

AZ Least -Four Hundred Of Them Are Row
~. In the National PARK.
II has been very generally believed
that the bison has become practically
extinct, but that belief does not appear
to be generally borne out by the facts,
says the Great Divide. Not very long
ago Capt Anderson sent out Burgess,
the civilian scout attached to the post
In tho National or Yellowstone park in
Wyoming, TO make . journey south Of
the Hayden valley. The purpose Of the
trip was to see whether any signs Of
poachers could be found and also Incl
dentally to discover what could be
learned as TO game in the open country
to tho south. The scout has lately re-
turned and made his report, which is
to the effect that there Is On abundance
OF elk In the Hayden valley, but It is in
respect to the bison that his discoveries
are most encouraging.
In the Hayden valley nc saw and ap-
preached quite close to several herds Of
bison, which he counted One Of these
contained seventy-eight animals, sec
ond fifty, third one hundred and ten
and fourth fifteen. besides these sew
eral single bisons were seen, and ut
quite distance some other scattering
groups which could not be counted. Mr..
Burgess does not hesitate to say that he
saw fully three hundred animals.
1t Is not to be supposed that at the
time Of this visit anywhere near all the
bison in the park were collected in the
Hayden valley, and 1t is altogether
reasonable to believe that there are
one hundred and perhaps three hundred
other buffaloes in the park besides
those which Mr.. Burgess saw. Taking,
however, the lowest number, there
would be four hundred buffaloes in the
National park at the present time
This Is believed to be conservative
estimate, and to be considerably under
the truth.
These bisons are to be divided into six
classes-calves, yearlings, two-year-
olds, three-year-olds, bulls and +oows.
This would give us at tho lowest esti-
mate from fifty to seventy breeding
cows While all these cows may not
produce calves each year, they must
represent an annual increase of at least
thirty-six to forty head. This is taking
the most unfavorable view Of the num-
Der Of COWS and the rate at which they
breed Mr.. Burgess is entirely disposed
TO think that the calf crop among the
bisons Of the National park this year
will be from seventy-five to one hundred
animals. However this may be, it is
quite clear that there is in the National
park, living under entirely natural con-
ditions, and yet protected from attacks
by man, . breeding stock of bisons suffl-
GENTLY large to keep that reservation
fully stocked for all time-a condition
which cannot fail to be very gratifying.

Little Princess Maude has all Of her

Goodness in a Mixed College.

There is a coolness between the boys and the girls of the Stanford university. It all came about from question of pro priety. The boys gave ball in their dormitory hall on Monday night, to which they invited all the girl students, as well as the professors. Elaborate preparations were made, and the young men anticipated an evening of enjoy ment. They hired band, and had the dormitory beautifully decorated.
 One or two of the more modest and re- tiring of the maidens in the girls dormi- tory were shocked at the avowed inten- ton of some of the girls to attend the ball, and called 8 meeting of the girls, at which there was long discussion of the affair.
 Many of the fair students said they could see no harm in going to the ball as long as the professors were willing, but the more prudish damsels read a strong lecture on the evils of such doings, and, on vote, there was majority in favor of not attending the ball. So none of them went.
 The boys waited long for the coming of the fair ones, but they came not. At first the collegians were very angry. Then they took the dancing floor them selves and made 'stag" party of it. They say, however, that for future fes- tivities they will send no invitations to the girl students. This suits the ultra modest among the latter, but the sociable girls feel crushed.

FOR REMEMBRANCE.

N would be sweet to think when we are old Of all the pleasant days that came to pass; That here we took the berries from the grass, There charmed the bees with pans, and smoke
 unroled,
 And spread the melon nets when nights were
 cold,
 Or pulled the bloodroot in the underbrush, And marked the ringing of the tawny thrush. While all the west was broken, burning gold And so bind with rhymes these memories, AS girls press pansies in the poets leaves And ind them afterward with sweet sur
 prise;
 or treasure petals mingled with perfume. Losing them in the days when April grieves; subtle summer in the rainy room.

Red Hair.

A well known physician, who has made human hair study for years, in an enter taining lecture on red hair said: "The great Italian painter, Titan, was so fond of red hair that he raved about it, and at one time is said to have offered to sell his soul to the devil provided his hair would turn red. This passion for red hair has ragged fiercely since early times. About every eight years red hair comes in style, and the belles try to color their hair in conformity to the prevailing style. They often use poison, and that's where we come in. At one period in history, however, red hair was the subject for universal scoffing. Philadelphia Rec ord.

hence the absurdity OF attempting to make

robbers belong as much to one party as the

must be settled by the state legislature.
"The remedy for this evil is to be found in

been repeatedly proposed as would give the
state warehouse commission jurisdiction
over the elevators but has always been de-

legislature was controlled in both houses by

WOLCOTTS DARK PAST.
A Genius In Organising Dfsreputa-
hle Schemes.

1t is necessary to go back little to learn
all Wolcott's history. After he had remov-
ed to Minneapolis and entered the grain
business he commenced trying to organize
a "snide" elevator company, the purpose
of which was to levy blackmail upon the
established companies. Reputable grain
men, knowing his methods, refused to have
anything to do with him; and then VOL
colt gathered around him two or three con-
ciencless adventures like himself, and pro-
ceeding to North Dakota Incorporated the
scandinavian Elevator company. By hook
and crook he got possession Of a few shan
ties on various lines of road and started
into the field as full fedged elevator COM
pany. He allied himself with some of the
disreputable members Of the Farmers ALL
ance, and thus secured small quasi fol-
lowing with the farmers of the Northwest.
The name of this company was intended to
impose upon the Swedish and Norwegian
farmers Of Minnesota and Dakota. It was
called the Scandinavian Elevator Com
pany," although there was no man of Scan
dinayian blood either nearly or remotely
connected with the company,
THE MODE OF HIS OPERATIONS
was picturesque and varied. Here Is one
Of them. He would purchase an old ele-
vator or warehouse at station and then
advertise through the local paper that his
house was an Independent buyer" outside

some years very small or none, depending
very much on different conditions. The
Northern Pacific Elevator company one year
made, thin :, dividend of 40 per cent.
Others have made % per cent and 80 per
cent This year, think, the dividends will
be very small, even IL anything is paid.
The paper issued by these companies, as a
rule, Is good, and in many cases is Endorsed
by the Individual stockholders of the ele-
vator companies. The notes are issued for
the purpose Of raising money to buy wheat
to insure the elevators being occupied and
therefore able to earn elevator charges. As
the wheat purchased stands, or should
stand, as security for the notes given, it
makes the paper thus issued very good.
The Northern Pacific Elevator company
has, on the whole, been the most prosper
GUS 1t has q line of elevators Mt the sta
lions and a terminal elevator at Duluth.
The Pillsbury elevators are located largely
on the Manitoba system Of railroads, with
q large terminal house in Minneapolis.
These elevators have usually paid large
dividends. The st. Anthony Elevator COM
pany has a large terminal house and
Minneapolis Elevator company has two
large terminal elevators in Minneapolis.
This company paid handsome dividend
last year, but will pay none this.
