Raising Rattlesnakes.

AS it is usually considered desirable to
get rid of such unpleasant neighbors, this
is an occupation quite out of the common
way. An old hunter, accustomed to all
kinds of dangers, found that there was
money to be made in selling rattlesnake
oil to the druggists, and as he had the
good fortune to live among mountains
where rattlesnakes were plentiful, he con-
cluded to try the experiment of a rattle
snake farm.
Instead of clearing away the rocks from
the side of the hill on which he had taken
up his abode, he gathered more, until he
had made regular snake grotto, with
plenty of holes in it, and everything that
snakes could desire for a residence.
Catching the reptiles and introducing
them to their new quarters were mere
child's play for SO experienced hand.
and the queer farm was soon progressing
finely.
But as the hunter did not wish to re-
ceive calls from his wriggling tenants, he
took care TO build his own dwelling very
substantially of stone and cemented It
both inside and out before he stocked the
farm. No snake could get in very easily.
even had 1t been disposed TO leave the
charming quarters so carefully provided
for it, and this feeling of security was

managing his colony. Day after day he

number of ten thousand or so, and every
year about two thousand are killed for the

The play has a romantic love

the company transports, as we'll as some
elaborate stage fittings and articles of

JUST LIKE 4 BIRD.
John Peters and His NewIy-lnvented
Flying Machine.
A Man Who Claims to be Sacrament
tan Thinks He Has the
Boss Flyer.

The latest project in the line of aerial
navigation is the invention of an alleged
Sacramento man named John Peters,
who not only claims TO be the inventor of
a machine by which he can steer any de-
sired course, regardless of the wind, but
can also raise and lower his machine as
easily as he can go ahead.
Peters was in San Francisco on Sun
day, and showed reporter model of his
machine. 81 have worked fifteen years
to produce this machine" said Peters as
he lifted the model from the box, "and /
have got it at last. 1 have been called a
crank, fool and idiot, but there it is. and
wonder who is the fool now"
The new flying machine is something
like fish in general appearance, and is
fitted with propeller and rudder like
steamboat. The motive power is to be
electricity, and the storage batteries will
be carried in sort of cage or car hung
beneath the machine.
"Of course this model is far too small
to put machinery in, but it is fitted with
spiral spring that answers just as well for
a short time"
Mr.. Peters was requested to turn his
model loose, but he declined, on the
grounds that there were too many people
around. sit works just the same" said
Peters, as he restored the model to the
box, "and l am at work now on a ma
chine that will be go feet long and capa-
bic of carrying at least twenty people
with ease.
"Do l expect to travel fast? You bet I
90. Why that little machine there" said
he, pointing to the box on the seat beside
him, ''can travel faster than L can run,
and l expect to attain speed of at least
one hundred miles an hour, and that
without any difficulty"
Mr.. Peters said that a company had
been formed in Sacramento and they had
ali the money needed to build the big
machine, and its first trip will be to San
francisco, after which it will be taken To
the Worlds Fair and used to carry pas
sengers TO and from the neighboring
towns during the fair. By this means
the company expects TO make money and
place the invention before the world at
the same time.
If Mr.. Peters is a Sacramento man, he
has managed to keep himself and his ma
chine In obScurity here.

L nat there was no such voluntary en-

10 England alone belongs the disgrace
ana ln1amy OF enticing the rulers of these

SUBJECTS to fight her wars. The facts ac
cordlng to the Charleston Meas and Cour-
IeF, are these: On February IS. I776.
Lord Weymouth laid before the House of
LORDS treaty with the Hesse- Darn
stadt, dated January 5, 1776, second. a
treaty between George III. and the Duke
OF brunswick, dated January 8, 1776, and
tnlrd, treaty with the Landgrave of the
Hesse-Cassel, dated January Is. 1875. for
the line OF troops to the number of II, 800.
After arguments pro and con, and after
much opposition, the treaties were rati-

thousand dollars; Hesse-C assei. $4,000
men Tor 1000; Hesse-Darmstadt, 6SS

OF England further agreed to guarantee
the commons of these various provinces
against any foreign attack.

dlsgrace OF hiring men Of an alien race to
slaughter men as noble as themselves

manner IN which they obtained possess

without warning or an opportunity for

Such were the foreigners to whom we
IN our short-sightedness, have attached
all the brutality and fiendishness which
obtained with England's King, and which
grew rank and foul in the lives and acts
OF those German Princes. Late thonoh
1t be to do justice, let us endeavor to d.

embodiments of human demonism who

Railroad Extension.

IOakIanu InquITtT, July 0JH.
For several weeks the Southern Pacific
has had a corps of surveyors running a
line for the extension of the Stockton and
Milton Railroad, which would open thou
sands of acres of timber land, great
deal of which has been taken up by Oak
land parties, who would be largely bene-
flied by the construction of the road.
But the Stockton Independent thinks the
designs of the S. p. go further than a
local extension. and that the object is to
control the Big Tree route across the
Sierra Nevadas. The Big Tree route
across the ISierras was an emigrant road
in early days and it was found TO be COM
paratively easy for the heavy teams of
the pioneers.
