THE EUROPEAN VIPER.
from Chamber Journal. |

Many persons are killed by vipers on
the continent; but-though "Pelias berus"
is widely distributed over Europe, and
is generally known distinctively as the
little viper'-the prevalent and most
dangerous species are the long-nosed and
asp vipers. Matthiole relates an instance
of man who was fatally bitten by half
a snake in France-an adder had been
severed in twain with hoe, and he un-
fortunately picked up the business end.
Such an occurrence is quite within the
bounds of credibility; l have seen a
wretched python which had been cut in
two by sweep of a coolies cutlass,
launch itself furiously at the man who
was preparing to give it the coup de
grace, and tear the torch from his hands.
Domestic animals are not infrequently
attacked, but rarely succumb to the poi
son; sheep and horses are struck on the
nose as they Craze, cows very commonly
on the udder while lying down. A bitten
dog repeatedly plunges it's head under
water to assuage the fierce heat of the
inflammatory symptoms, but generally
RECEIVERS. Human beings and monkeys
suffer far more intensely than do crea-
lures lower in the scale Of life.
There is remarkable account, vouched
for by competent witnesses, of horse
which was found moribund and choking,
with its neck enormously swollen, in
whose throat a small viper had actually
ensconsed itself. Mile. Rosa Bonheur
lost two gazelles, which she kept in the
dual capacity of pets and models. by the
assault of adders which swarmed IN the
country about her chateau.

MANY FRENCH BOOKS.
[From the Athenaeum.1

There is a story current in Partisan
editorial circles to the effect that when
NJ. Laffite, the editor Of the Bien Public,
transformed that paper into the VOL
taire, he called one of the regular men,
bers of his staff into his room and an
nounced that he wished to make the
experiment of including in his paper a
feature to be found nowhere else in
the daily press. This was to be nothing
less than complete criticism of current
litera ture.
He pointed out that, while every paper
devoted careful critical articles to even
the slightest farce played at the least
important of the theatres, the French
press was content, as far as literary
criticism was concerned, merely to pub
lish an occasional paragraph on some
novel which had made a sensation. He
felt sure that his project would be
grateful for an abstract and brief
chronicle of the literary output, made
upon the same lines as the daily record
of dramatic news-in a word, for crit
icism of every publication. "Of every
publication? My dear Sir, you cannot
mean it seriously!" was the reply of the
journalist, who, 1 believe, was Emile
Bergerat.
Have you realized that every day
there are published at least ten volumes
of sufficient interest to deserve notice I?
You would need an army of reviewers
and newspapers of thirty pages to pub
liSh their articles"

CHEAP REDUCTION of ORES.

The present outlook convinces the New
Era that Kennedy will teach the state
a lesson in the cheap reduction of ores.
The operators now in camp are men who
come with an experience OF many years
In the progressive mining fields of Mon
tana, Idaho, Dakota and Colorado, and
have even the modus operandi of the
South African developers.
Nevadans have been in rut of de-
spondency for a number of years, and
although in the earlier days they taught
the world lessons in mining, of late they
have fallen behind the onward march of
science and the chemistry of the sue
cessful reduction of ores of every class.
The Occur d'Alene has shown the adj
vantages of concentration; the lone
stake the way to reduce sulphurets by
chlorination Cripple Creek by concentra-
tlon ana smelling; the Mercur by cyan
ide; Denver by utilizing sulphur for fuel;
the Withersrand by plates, concentrates
and cyanide, and so on down the list
while Nevada clings to pan amalgama-
ton.
Ii there are metallurgists in the state
anxious to improve on their old methods
It Will be a great study for them to visit
Kennedy where they will soon have an
opportunity of seeing the best talent of
the country displayed IN the cheap re-
duction of ores that twenty years ago
were unsought for, but which today are
the bullion producers of the world.-New

Fatal Accident TO n Deer Hunter in
California.


San Rafael, Aug. 17.-William Cur
lett, jr., son of William Curlett, the
architect, whose office is in San Fran
cisco and home in this city, was killed
this afternoon by the accidental dis
charge of rifle in the hands Of Ralph
Prescott.
The young men left at o'clock this
morning for deer hunt on Mount Ia
malpais. They reached the summit at
IL o'clock. On descending Prescott took
the lead on the narrow trail with his
rifle over his shoulder. While STOPPING
Ito avoid some overhanging boughS the
rifle was discharged and Curlett fell
with bullet hole through his left leg
just below the knee
Prescott ran to a nearby ranch be-
longing to Linden Butterfield, and ask
ed assistance. Mr.. Butterfield and his
men responded and carried Curlett to
the house while Gamekeeper De Toruet
rode quickly to Liberty and telephoned
to this city for DR. Wickman.
Everything possible was done to stop
the flow of blood but the main artery
had been severed, and before the physi-
clan arrived the young man had Died
to death.
Coroner Eden was notified of the
tragedy and the body was brought to
San Rafael at 1870 o'clock this evening.
The father was summoned and viewed
the remains of his only son at the
morgue. An inquest will be held at L
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Prescott is wild with grief over the
unfortunate affair. Curlett had been
his close friend for years. He is so
nearly crazed that it was impossible to
get any Ineligible account of the oc-
currence from him. 1t is supposed that

There were a hundred passengers on

almost impenetrable darkness.
The captain headed the vessel for the

were blown up by the air in her hold.
Everybody was thrown into the water.

AN INTERESTING POINT.
Does n Mine Owner Lose His Title by
Allowing Tribute Men to Work
His Mine.


Does a mine-owner lose his title to
his property by allowing tribute men or
leasers to work his mine?
The question may be answered in the
trial of suit. now pending in the dis
trict court of Storey county, New,
which is set for trial August 90. The
plaintiff, Edward Chandler, sues the
West Consolidated Virginia company
to foreclose two liens for the sum of
$1,O57 for tribute work performed upon
the ground of the company.
Superintendent Tangerman's story is
as follows: Last year, when times
We're very dull and men could not get
work because Of the fact that all the
mines were discharging men, he OBJ
tanned permission from the president
of the company for himself and Mr..
Treglown to enter on the groupings of
the West Consolidated Virginia mine
and to mine and extract ore therefrom,
providing they could ind any ore that
would pay to mine and extract. They
were to make no expense to the COM
pany, because the mine was shut down
under an injunction suit held against
it in the California courts. They be-
gan work on the groupings about Sep
TENDER, 1893
After they had been working several
months Treglown was taken sick and
put substitute to work in his place by
the name of William Thomas, he being
late arrival from Carson, with the
understanding that TregloNn would
pay the board of his substitute, and
when ore was found he (Treglown)
would retain from its proceeds all
moneys advanced in board bills and
other supplies. In the month of Deem
Der following the West Consolidated
Virginia mine started up work. after
being closed down by an injunction
suit for three years. They appointed
Tangerman superintendent. About a
month previous to this time he made
an arrangement with Edward Chand-
Ter, plaintiff in the lien suits. that
Chandler should take Tangerman's
pace in the tribute working on. the

were that Tangerman should pay
Chambers board and lodging, and
when ore was found Chandler was to
receive "a per day after all the other
expenses incurred by working in the
groupings had been paid. Chandler and
Thomas did not succeed in finding ore
IN paying quantities.

company, which was in no way inter

FARMS OF ODD SHAPE.
Long Marrow Holdings in the Pine
Tree State.

Maine probably has many oddly shaped
farms, but we doubt if one can be found
more peculiar in form than that in the
eastern part of Dexter, formerly owned
by the pioneer blacksmith Elijah w.
SpraGue. This was eight rods vide and
half-mile long, with a highway cutting
it at right angles into unequal por-
tons. The inconvenience of so narrow
farm, with pasturing and woodland at
one end, is obvious to any one, but in
this form it has continued, from the days
of the forefathers to the present time in
use as a farm all the time.
A farm only twenty rods wide and
about half mile long was in use great
many years near Pennington Falls, and
may be so used yet for all the writer
knows, but the Dexter farm beats it by
nearly two-thirds for narrowness and
general oddly. Farms of this shape are
numerous in Canada.-Lewiston Evening
