The Snakes Poison Fang.

A common belief regarding snakes IL
that they can spit or project their venom
a considerable distance and thus poison
any person whose eyes may be too intently
riveted upon the animal. The poison fang
mark the singular term, for thereby
hangs this tale-is followed by q channel
in the hinder part of it. The edges Of this
channel are curved and meet 80 closely as
to form sort of tube, the fang bends back
ward, and until erected by the muscles
which move it lies back against the pal
ate. When the snake is enraged, the fang
is erected.
At the base of the fang is the gland
which secretes the poison. This gland is
in close contact with the maxillary bone,
to which the fang is united by anchylosed
tissue. The bone itself is movable and
may be rotated on sits transverse axis by
muscles. Thus, in the act of striking, the
snake erects its fang, and the act of strik-
ing, bringing pressure to bear upon the
gland, causes the fluid poison to be forced
into the tube, and thus elected into the
wound. Doubtless the attempt to escape
from its enemy causes the victim to force
the fang from its erectile position in a for
ward direction and thus increase the pres
sure on the gland and add to the quantity
sf poison injected. New York Times.

A Fruitless Filtration.

He was very handsome, young, tall,
dressed in exquisite taste. His eyes were a
bright blue; his hair golden yellow. He
sat in the Grand Central station waiting
for train. He was the most attractive
figure in the crowded station until she
came in, hanging on the arm of her aunt.
All male eyes were turned admiringly in
her direction. But she had regard only for
the young man with the yellow hair. She
walked by him and cast long, lingering
glances in his direction, but he did not re-
spond Then she took seat near him
and dropped her umbrella on his foot. He
started and turned his eyes upon her, but
there was no answer on his face to the love
light in her eyes. She bit her rosy lips
with vexation and moved over to the other
side of the room. His gaze followed her,
but his face was still unmoved, still ex-
pressionless.
The gateman shouted that the train was
about to start The pretty young woman
arose, still with her eyes on the handsome
youth, with expectancy in her look. A
man in livery entered the station. He
touched the young man with the yellow
hair on the shoulder. He arose unsteadily
and felt in a helpless way for the arm OF
his escort. The young woman's face
blanched white. He was stone blind

and jumped in after her. and drove of

Presently the little maid looked up at
me with face SO rosy that should not

half coniding, in her eyes, and as met
that look knew all of sudden why il

A scientist declares that there never was

formation of the original animal into stone
It is merely the displacement by mineral
substances of certain organic tissues as
they decay. But it is only the bones which
are thus affected, never the flesh. "Most
of the Apdies," he says, reported as found
petrified are examples of phenomenon
long familiar. They have been transformed
not into stone, but into a substance called
'adipocere,' or grave wax This is a true

"This 'adipocere' is one Of the most en-

Origin of "Jayhawker." !"

The word "jayhawker" became gener-
ally known during the war of the rebel
lion from the application of it to himself
and his soldiers by Colonel Jamison of the
Seventh Kansas. The appellation passed
from this regiment to all Kansas soldiers
and was finally applied to the inhabitants
of Kansas themselves. The Kansas "herd-
book" gives the following story as the or
igin of the name:
Early one autumn morning in 1856 Pat
Devlin, a noted character in Kansas in
those days, was seen entering the village
of Ossawatomie, riding mule loaded
down with all sorts of articles. A neigh
Dor met him and said:
"Good morning, Pat. You look as If
you had been out on some kind of forag-
ing expedition"
"Yes. I've been out jayhawking
"What do you mean by jayhawking,
Patf never heard of that word before {"
"Well, I've been out foraging, and while
riding home on my baste l bethought me
of the bird we have in Ireland we call the
jayhawk, which takes delight in worrying
its prey before devouring 1t, and thought

THE DISPERSION OF MANKIND.

Stately on ShinAr's ancient PLATA
Uprose n mighty thought In stone.
The thinkers scofied In pure dislEin
OF forces mightier than their own.
Full many a moon had waxed and waned,
Full many brain and hand had striyen
To pile tower, which, uarestrained
By bound or bar, should smite the heaven.
Then came the injured Godhead down
And cursed them with an alien speech,
And from the thunder Of his frown
Afar they wandered, each from each.
But in the curse q blessing lurked,
From baffied language nations grew,
And thus the wrath Of heaven hath worked
The purpose Of its mercy too.

he said courteously:

an easy chair after his own peculiar no

was reading a newspaper in the quiet
inner Office when North and Mr.. Archer
entered.
''Good morning, Wee. Take chair,
Mr.. Archer, over here by my desk,
said North, airily, tossing his gloves
down on the desk and nodding gracious
ly to the junior partner. Il will count
these bills, Mr.. Archer, and you may
run over them after me, if You will,
just to see that there is no mistake"
And as he sat down at the desk, ap-
parently absorbed in the business in

sense Of enjoyment, as he accidentally
an expression of contemptuous surprise
from the paper that Mr.. Wescott was

out my original intention of calling on

fate again interferes.''
With this faint hope he left the Office
and started once more toward Della
PLANE street, arriving at No. So with
out incident or delay.
Mrs. Maynard came down to the draw
ing-room to receive him, looking so i'll
that he could not repress the eXclama-
ton of solicitude that rose to his lips.
Her extreme pallor, heightened no
doubt by the plain black dress that she
wore, really startled him: AID the heavy
shadow of WEAKNESS, the pathetic lines
of care that within a few short hours
had appeared upon that proud, beauti-
full face, told of anxious thoughts and
genuine heart sorrow.
Her manner, however, was light, as if
her pride would not permit her to ac-
knowledge the mental suffering that
had SO mercilessly left its traces upon
her; and she smiled increduiously at
North's anxious inquiries.

This introduction of painful sub
ject which she nevertheless knew per-
fectly well was unavoidable, visibIy
distressed her; but she conquered her
feelings bravely and answered without
6 trernor in her voice:
''Serious problems sometimes appear
less formidable after candid and prac-
