WormIilxe Snakes.

The wormlike snakes are called burrow-
ing snakes, because they dwell under the
surface of the ground and rarely appear
above it, so that they live much as worms
do. In accordance with this habit their
body is cylindrical and they have short
head, rounded or pointed in front, and
short but strong tail. They are incased in
dense arInor of smooth polished scales,
which are of small size on the belly as we'll
as on the back and sides. AS might be ex-
pected, the eyes are rudimentary; and
there are few teeth, in some forms the
lower jaw and in Others the upper one be-
ing edentulous.
Their food mostly consists of grubs,
worms and burrowing insects. They are
of small size often from about five to ten
inches long, though some forms attain two
feet. There are nearly hundred different
species, which are generally distributed
over the hotter portions of the globe in
both hemispheres. Fourteen species are
found in India, and one inhabits Cyprus
and Greece. Quarterly Review.

Telephone. at the WORLD. Fair.

A telephone exchange having, it is now
thought, about 600 instruments, will be es-
tablished in the Worlds fair grounds. OF
this number about twenty-five will be toll
telephones, which will be distributed con
veniently about the grounds to be used by
any one upon payment of small fee; some
300 will be for exclusive use by the exposi-
ton officials and employees, and the re-
mainder will be for commercial purposes.
1t is the intention of the telephone COM
pany to establish at the exposition the best
exchange In the world.
Only the most perfect instruments and
metallic circuits will be used. The long
distance copper lines to this city will be
completed by the time the fair opens, and
connections will be made directly with
this line at jackson park, independent of
the Chicago exchange. Thus it is ex-
pected that through long distance tele-
phones exhibitors will be enabled to talk
to New York, Boston or Philadelphia with
out difficulty. York Telegram.
