An Ossified Irish man.

Many people think that Jonathan
Bassett, who died recently, was the
first ossitied man. He may have been
the first on exhibition, but not the first
on record In the Museum of Natural
History at Dublin is the skeleton of a
native of South Ireland who was ossi-
fed during his lifetime, living in that
condition for years. His atfliction
came on in peculiar manner One
night, after carousal, he slept out in
field Soon thereafter his joints be-
gan to stiffen. He could not arise nor
sit down unattended. Neither could
he bend his body, and when placed up
right resembled stone. His teeth and
jaws became joined into a solid bone.
He lost his sight and the use of his
tongue, and for years was kept alive by
nourishment artificially administered.
Doctors could do nothing for him, and
when he died they preserved the
strange skeleton, or mummy, which is
now on exhibition.

The British government does what
1t can to get rid of poisonous snakes,
says Mcclure's Magazine. Large re-
wards are annually paid for their
heads, and in this way great numbers
are destroyed. Attempts are constant
ly being made to clear away the rub
Dish which accumulates around village
sites. and thus to reduce the shelter in
which these creatures breed. AS yet,
however, hardly any appreciable effect
has been produced. Year after year
the tale of deaths remains undimin-
ished, and fresh snakes appear as fast
as their predecessors are killed off.
For long time the supposition was
widely entertained that the pro-
fessional native snake killers regular
ly bred the creatures for the sake OF
the reward; but, as scientific men
have quite failed in their efforts to per-
suade poisonous snakes to multiply in
confinement, the belief seems scarcely
reasonable.
IL the people themselves would only
cooperate vigorously with the authori-
ties in killing snakes. the task OF deal
ing with the problem would
be greatly facilitated. Strangely
enough, however, snakes in gen.
eral, and the deadly cobras in par
t!cular, are popularity regarded in In
dia with q superstitious reverence akin
almost to worship. Comparatively few
natives of India, in spite Of the tempta
ton of the reward, will kill snake will
ingly. On the contrary, it is no un-
common thing for them to encourage
the creatures about their houses by
feeding them with milk and eggs. In
this way villages are to be found where
poisonous snakes fairly swarm. A Gu
rious superstition is said to prevail in
some localities, to the effect that an
innocent maiden is not liable to be
bitten, and when death occurs from
the bite of some snake which has been
encouraged in the house, it is said to
be the little daughter Of the family
who is most often selected for the dan
gerous task of driving it tenderly
away. Even when this is not the case,
the greatest care is usually taken that
no harm shall happen to the snake.

Fish Stories.

The traditional story of "fsh out
of water is that of helpless, gasp
ing creature. There are some fish,
however, that deliberately choose to
diversity their existence by seeking
land and air. The perch often leaps
into the air for flies and can be carried
long distances in damp grass without
suffering harm. One of this species
which is common in India often leaves
his pool and takes short journey
over the grass. He seems to prefer to
take these excursions by night or in
early morning, when he can be re-
freshed by the dew, but sometimes, no
doubt led by urgent necessity, has
been known to travel some little dis
lance over hot dusty road, under a
midday sun.

ADMIRAL RAMSAY.

1854 at the head of his corps. Two of
the admirals brothers have served in
our army-one, James G.. Ramsay, is
now major of the Third artillery,
and the other died in the service in
1878. The admirals wife comes of the
military family of the McMahons.
Three of her brothers served in the
Union army-one died during the war;
another fell at the head of his regi-
ment while storming the works at
Cold Harbor, and the third, State SEN
ator Martin I. Mcmahon of New York,
resigned from the army, after dis
tinguished staff service, with the
brevet rank of ma jor general.
Admiral Ramsay will, if he lives,
have three years of service in his pres
ent rank, retiring at the age of 62, on
the 5th OF April, 1897. He was born
in Washington, where his father was
so long on duty, and was SO we'll

constructed entirely out Of paper
mache. All the different parts. the
body, the wheels, etc, are finished in
the best possible manner. While the
durability and powers of resistance
possessed by this material are fully as
great as those of wood, the weight is
of course much less. The lightness of
a fire engine is of course a great adj
vantage, and it seems not unlikely
that wooden carriages will in short
time pass out of use altogether.
