SOME parts of Texas are SO infested
with chicken snakes that poultry rails

chicken snake feeds on the young of
geese, ducks, chickens etc. and has a
special fondness for eggs which it usual

A NEW kind of paving is1about to be
tried in Chicago. 1t consists in laying
solid steel plates that reach from curbs
to street-car tracks, one-half inch thick,
and laid on a thick strata of sand.
Rising from the solid steel plates to the
height of two inches are steel tongues
securely bolted to an underlying plate.
Grooves are sawed into the bottoms of
wooden blocks by which they are fitted
snugly over these tongues. The wooden
blocks are oblong with sharp corners
that admit of being fitted closely to-
gether. The pavement will be almost
as noiseless as floor covered with lin.
oleum.

Jackson on a flank movement to Popes rear,
pushing after him two days later with the bal
ance OF his army. This dangerous game was
made the more easy of success from the fact
that Pope was confidently depending on Hal
leck's assurance of the advance of McClellan's
troops from Alexandria. and expecting them,
in conformity to his own orders, to defend
Manassas junction and his lines of communica-
ton. Under the circumstances it seems TO
have been on Pope's part reasonable expecta-

entire army were coming forward along that
