WALKING WITHOUT LEGS.
Chapter for Boys and GirIs on Snakes
and Their Habits.

Lots of boys and girls kill snakes in
/ the country who never stop to think
! what very curious way snake has
of getting about. They see him so
| often sliding through the grass that it
never occurs to them towonder how he
can do it, just as many other wonder
full things in this world are so common
that we never stop to think how won
derful they really are.
You would tell me that Mr.. Snake
got along by crawling. His body holds
one long ckbone, the ribs coming
from it numbering as many as three
hundred in some snakes. Besides
these ribs in his long slender body he
has very powerful muscles which
bring his ribs forward as he walks
along upon them, just as if they were
feet. So that he may be said to walk
upon his ribs. His muscles draw his
ribs forward, so that he rests upon
them. and then his muscles give an
other step. So on he runs as quick as
lightning, particularly when he sees
small boy coming after him with
sharp stick.
The snake, large or small, swallows
his food whole and often has to open
his mouth very wide to do it. But
mother nature has made special ar
rangements about a snakes mouth,
by which he can separate the
bones of it, so that he can
swallow animals by gradually draw
ing them in until the bones
are at some distance apart When once
the dinner is down, the muscles of the
mouth contract, and the bones draw
back into place. and the snakes head
looks as small as it did before he took
in his huge mouthful. Poisonous
snakes kill or crush their prey to death
before they swallow it. The smaller
snakes have teeth turning backward,
so that the prey, getting inside once.
cannot escape.
You know something, perhaps, of
how the snake sheds his skin. Perhaps
you have found such treasure as an
old snake skin for yourself. When the
snake is about to shed his coat it grows
dull in color, and some day il splits
open all the way down the back. Then
Mr.. Snake wriggles out of his old
clothes and finds himself in bran new
suit, handsomer and better-titting than
the last.
Snakes. of course, can climb trees. or
swim, as well as they can get over the
ground. In fact, they do all these
things so well, and so expeditiously.

with them. And Mr.. Snake must won

SEVEN PERSONS INJURED.
Bewer Gas Explosion Causes a Panic

Chicago, Jan. A building was
wrecked and seven people were badly
injured here by an explosion Of sewer
gas. The cover was blown off man.
hole at Harrison street and Fifth ave-
nue and the concussion which followed
could be heard several blocks away.
The Lincoln hotel, a five story tene-
ment house was the nearest building
to the explosion. Its front walls were
badly cracked, windows and floors
were twisted out of place and the
structure looks as If it had passed
through severe earthquake.
Mr.. Stafford and his wife who are
proprietors of the building were sit
ting in front room on the second
floor and say they were thrown four
feet away. A heavy safe on the second
floor was thrown from an improvised
foundation TO the floor. The follow
ing persons were injured:
Timothy Garry, Jacob Cohen. John
Clark, Terry Van Sky. Henry Worth
ington, George Hartley, and Patrick
Ryan.
Garry was bar tender in a saloon
on the first floor of the house. He was
blown ten feet and badly bruised. Co.
hen was walking on the street His
head was badly crushed and he was
taken to the hospital together with
Van Skye. who was also on the side
walk and hit by a flying stone. The
other men were in the building and
are painfully though not seriously
wounded. The pavement for twenty
feet around the man-hole was torn up.

The element which has heretofore

his fair wife should watch the new

create sensation and betol1ened in a

ton Of the Goulds as members of the

witness unrivaled prodigality on their
part in maintaining the new dignity.
Nevertheless, it was Mrs. Paran

SELLING JUSTICE OUT. rious intorma-

decisions of the court of appeals at AL.
bany and of the supreme court of the

In few cases, noted financiers. They
nave, or seem to have, an organized bu-
reau, and whenever an important deci-
sion Is due they peddle It about Wall
street fully week In advance of its

one OF the highest tribunals nobody ap-
pears able to find out. John G.
Sheehan gained unenviable notoriety
through his efforts to sell court of

such advance information is undoubt-
edly of the highest Importance, as it
usually happens that interests of great
magnitude are affected by the decisions
in question. Chief Justice Fuller is re-
ported to be quite concerned over the
incidents and the justices at ALBANY
are equally exercised. 1t is but fair to
say that the justices themselves are
known to be above reproach in the
matter. but it seems probable that
somebody is leaving the temple of jus-
tice in ruins and running off with its

examination in the department of law.
The young man fell in love with a

opposed his suit.

shall be sitting with my parents"
"Will they allow me?" asked the stu.
dent
Il shall see to that" was the deter
mined young womans answer.
Frere was successful and entered the
box in the evening, happy but fright
ened. The pretty girl, as soon as he
had crossed the threshold, stood up,
rushed toward him before word was
spoken, and kissed him heartily on the
lips. The astonished parents were
soon informed of the significance Of
the kiss by tho daughter. AS many
other people had seen the young girl's
action, the parents decided to make the
best OF it and accepted young Frere as
a son-in-law on condition that he ada
Orban to his name. This he did as a
matter OF course, and made It famous.
