petriael Snakes.

One of the most startling finds ever
made in this section was unearthed at
Rockville, a small mining camp nine
| miles northeast of here. The Santa Fe
Coal Company, which has large mining
interests at that point, was ~excavatiug in
the bottom of a gulch for the purpose Of
putting in a new track when a peculiar
formation was run into. The workmeu
stopped to examine, and on digging
around the spot the strange thing was
found to be a perfectly formed snake
| >welve feet in length.
This find caused so much excitement
that the excavation was continued, spd
at a little distance another reptile was
uncovered, and on being dug out was
found to be t~wenty.four feet In length
and as thick through as a mans body
aud perfectly %petrided.
This find caused still greater excite
| nent, and all work was stoppsj to dig
| for snakes. Another one was room struck
aud is no: yet uncovered. The reptile,
we're found at a depth of three feet. De-
tails are but meagre 10 far, but a large
number of persons have visited the find,
aud say facts as stated are true. No one
can tell how many Of the petrifed MON
sters will be found, but no doubt there
is a nest Of hem.-Denver News.

Horrid Air.

The latest solution proposed for
the London fog and smoke nuisance
Is the use Of gas for all cooking, heat

use compulsory. He estimates that
It would cost only 1920, 600, 900 to buy
