4 Snakes and Scorpions DO Not Commit Sui

Writing to Nature Prof Ray Ian

other individuals who have imagine
that they have witnessed the suicid

Astrological phenomenal of stating his

they were observations. The instance

that of a snake biting itself when i'm
prisoned in q jar of water That the
blow was deliberate, Intentional,
and of suicidal purpose is pure specu-

upon another rattlesnalze nor upon the
individual from which the poison is

TAKE A BEECH TREE.

1t Is Considered the Safest for Shelter in
Thunder Storm.
The danger of taking refuge under
a tree when caught in thunderstorm
is one of which we are constantly re-
minded; but, when we have to choose
between getting wet through with its
attendant discomfort and the (appar-
ently) small chance of being struck by
lightning while under the shelter of
the tree, it is only natural that we
should decide in favor of the latter,
says the Paris Figaro.
Under such circumstances it is of adj
vantage to know which is the best tree
to choose for shelter. A certain Herr
Woclxert tells US that we should select
beech tree, and gives us the follow
ing reason:
1t is always advisable to select those
trees whose leaves are hairy or ciliated
in preference to trees with smooth
leaves. The danger of being struck
by lightning depends not only upon
the height of the tree, but also upon
its power of conductibility, determined
by the amount of sap and its electric
tension.
Most of us know the tendency of
points to attract electricity, the most
notable example of the application of
this principle being the lightning con-
ductor. The hair, or ella, of leaves act
the part of natural lightning con-
duetors, and thus prevent the forma
ton of a very strong electro-motive
force; therefore it stands to reason that /
there is less danger in sheltering under
a beech tree than under an oak or trees
of similar kind.

The editor of a small provincial print

The last moment had come, and the

brain in vain, when he was suddenly
inspired by happy thought, and
dashed off the following lines: AFTER

was published in the evening, and the
sly editor, after performing this smart
little piece of stratagen, left the Office
in high good humor with himself AS
soon as he arrived in the Office on the
following morning a clerk came up to
him with a doleful expression and said:

InterJection aHurr.v
A writer in the London Times
claimed that the exclamation shurraa

DIR, Y a. Busheim, OF Kings college,
London, abiding to the statement,
wrote, saying: Il presume your cor
respondent must have some authority
for this assertion, but hope You will
allow me to point out that, as far as I
know, the word is of purely German
origin, 1t is generally assumed to be
derived from the initiative intersection

from which word the middle high Ger

rather to hurry, has been formed.

of purely Teutonic origin. In Grimm 8
'Worterbuch' we find the interiection

the Napoleonic wars by the Prussian
soldiers, and it also occurs in some
political and martial songs of those

adopted also by other nations, even bv
the French in the form of horrra.
That the interjection did not become
SO popular in Germany as a cheer at a

New Rules Adopted for Restoring to tho

Frequent complaint was made to the
mayor last year by owners of stock found
running at large, that it was not sufficiently
advertised before being sold. It was this
which induced Mayor Curtin to call the
councils attention to the matter at the last
meeting. The council decided that hereaf-
ter such stock should be advertised in the
daily papers by the oity marshal before
being sold. The mayor has laid down the
following rules for the guidance of the city
marshal in ths matter: When horses or
COWS are found running at large the mar
shall will have them put in the pound and
kept there for three days. If the stock la
owned by residents OF Helena the three
days will allow ample time for inquiries at
the city marshal's Office, which should be

owners when the stock 10 reclaimed. The
advertising charges, if there are any, will

A GREAT GOLD DISTRICT.

ono thinks OF the immense amount OF dust
taken from the placers below, in and

moro years, it is altogether reasonable that
somewhere above there must be large
bodies of gold ore from which this placer
dust came, and 1t seems not unlikely Nr.
Carten's camp is the solution to this prob
lem. In conversation with a Silver State
reporter he said: "Whv. man. there was

camp for the amount of work done. You
can give me as authority for the statements
I make to you. and I will guarantee to
show any man who may care to visit the

He gave the names of the following parties

A DEAL OF IMPORTANCE.
Col. Addison Lambeth Buys the
Paymaster Mine Over in
St. Louis Gulch.
It Nav Result in Restoring the
Region to It's Former
Prominence.
A Great Gold District at tho Head OF Cold
Creek and Pixies Peak-From
MarysSille.

Col. Addison Lambeth. who has been
mining successfully in this western country
for more than thirty years and knows a
mine when he sees ID, has made a deal
which promises 20 become important In re-
suits. The amount of money exchanged -
not very large, but if the coloneps ludg~
mont, which seldom fails, turns out night
in this instance, a large amount OF capisal
will be tn! med into a once famous region.
This is st. Louis gulch, one OF the carly
cold producers which has been sadly neg
looted in recent years. Under tho terms OF
sale, Col. Lambeth becomes the owner of the
Paymaster, q mine once highly regarded
but which has remained nnvorked for
twsnty-four years. The property was
transferred yesterday by S. V. Cooper and
wife for n consideration Of $4,000. Inc
name was changed and it Is now called the
German quartz lode claim. Ii was worked
under the name of the Paymaster in 1869
and more than $4,000 worth of gold was
taken out. of which 400 tons ran $50 to the
ton. The expense of hauling WAS then
great. 1t cost all of So q ton to crush 1t.
The only development was a shalt loo tees
In depth. The mine is in good shape now
for development work. which will begin
Immediately with a good force OF men.
Col. Lambeth finds good reasons for ex-
psctina that it will shortly become one OF
the best gold mines in this section OF the
state and is already planning to build q
mill. Should the venture prove successful
othe. properties in St. Louis gulch
will be worked. with the probability that
this region will be restored to its former
prominencs in the mining world. Gold
properties that promise anything are IN
great demand now owing to the low price
in sill yer, and as a consequence abandoned
pulches ars receiving unusual interest from
experts and capitalists.
