How serpent. Move.

King Solomon acknowledged that
there were three things which are
too wonderful for me-yea, four
which know not, and one of these
was the way Of a serpent upon a
rock" For hundreds of years after
the time of Solomon the snakes
mode of progression remained a
mystery. Latter-day men of science
have learned that his snakeships ribs
furnish him with means of progres-
sion. So, instead of having pair or
two pairs Of feet, they really have
from $50 10 200 pairs.
Aristotle thought that selpents had
as many ribs az there are days in a
month. but had he examined a
pythol he would have readily detect
ed his mistake, that species having
400, Snakes move in this way; Each
vertebra supports pair of ribs,
which act like pair of legs, the ex-
tremities being connected by broad
plate. The hind part OF this plate is
free, and when the ribs are moved
forward that end is raised. so that it
takes hold OF the surface underneath,
even though it be glass, the straight
ening of the reptile propelling it for

In many parts in eastern United
States a small Mexican weed. belong
ing to the order of composite, called
Galinsoga parvihora, is now extreme
ly plentiful. 1t is also making head
way in the Old World. The foliage
has a resemblance to tho ageratUn.
well known in gardens. The flowers
are very small. the disk being yellow,
and have five small ray petals. 1t is
strange to find a tropical plant thirty
ing well 80 far north,
1t is destroyed by the first white
frost, but as the seeds are not injured
by the extremest cold the plant is
able to maintain its existence wher-
ever it is able to mature its seed in
summer time. 1t is for this reason
that SO many other tropical weeds,
such as the jamestown weed or st1a-
monium, is able to extend itself. This
is another tropical weed
The balsam, Impatiens fulya, al
though spread over the whole North
American continent, even penetlat-

lily are by frost, the seeds yet enable
them to travel far into northern re-
gions. -Meohans' Monthly.

cocaine that had been used before

The cocaine caused some pain. but
when the conjunctiva was seized with
the forceps the pain was atrocious.
Having noticed this reaction twice
before, the doctor determined to OPP

use of cocaine. The operation upon
the left eye was completed without

a dime classic of western life. The
preacher arose at the close of the ser

with the closing hymn and sing the
Doxology, after which the congrega-
ton will be dismissed with a bene-
diction.
The audience Auttered, and then

feet on the pedals and prepared TO
