the air, and the thick threshing Of the
tail was repeated. Warner waited for
the same programme Of action to be
gone through third time without dis
turbing the snake. Then the cold be-
gan to make itself felt, and Warner re-
solved TO investigate the reptiles queer
actions without further delay.
He walked overto where the snake
was and found the front half of the
reptile buried in small opening in the
ground 1t was kept from going en-
tirely into the hole by a big round ball
that was about the cenaer Of the snakes
body. Warner pulled the snake out OF
the hole with the hoe. The reptile re-
fused to move. He cut the snake in
two What was his surprise to find
that the swelling was caused by a
gourd. which had been worn smooth
and shiny. On cutting the gourd open
he found that it was still juicy and APP
parently fresh Where and when the
reptile swallowed the gourd was not
quite plain to Warner. The only man
who raised goruds lived quite three

tration. In front of the dashboard OF
the car is a flexible false dashboard of
iron lattice work backed by springs Of
great fexibility. This is so arranged
that it can be moved from one end Of
the car to the other without trouble,
and it is of so flexible a nature that a
body picked up by car moving at :
very rapid rate would be deposited oA
the platform or catcher without injury.
The dashboard may be made of bent
iron or perforated rubber.
The horizontal platform is also made
of the same material. It travels usually
about an inch and half above the
rails, but with heavy body on it it
would be borne down upon the small
wheels which ride beneath it, and
would then ride about an inch above
the rails, low enough down to insure
safe capture of anything alive which
might get in the way, yet high enough
not to interfere with the running of
the car. There is no hard surface any,

i was much excited. and wondered if he
knew the dangerous character of his
adversary. Was he playing unknow-
ingly with death? i could scarcely re-
frain from rushing to his rescue, but
resolved to await the issue and watch
the strange proceedings.
The hand OF the monkey again
moved toward the venomous reptile.
Is he going to seize the creature2
Thoughts of this danger come and go
thick and fast, as, almost riveted to the
ground, / watch with deep emotion.
Suddenly, with the quickness of light
ming, the monkey grasped the serpent
around the neck, close to the head,
IN such manner as TO render it impos-
sible to inflict its deadly bite, while its
body encircled his arm.
The astonishing scene is indescrib-
able. There were loud hissings, min
gied with gatherings and almost
screechings, as the monkey danced and
leaped in frenzied delight. With many
odd grimaces and queer wrinkling of
the brow, the monkey seemed almost
frantic. He would stop his wild con-
tortions and seriously examine the head
and eyes and protruding tongue. again
grin and dance about. But stranger
movements soon followed.
After short time of this display of
glee, he apparently became tired. and.
STOPPING down on three legs, he COM
menced to rub the head of the serpent
on the hard ground. He would rub
awhile, then, with much seriousness.
examine the head; then rub it again.
Blood began TO drip over his hand
This rubbing and examining he re-
peated again and again, until he had
completely rubbed off the head of the
cobra. Then, with much chattering
and apparent glee. he dropped the
writhing body TO the ground and scam
pered off to join his companions in a
neighboring grove.

No modern discovery or invention
has excited more general interest than
the new illuminant acetylene. 7.
OConor Sloane, Phi D., has prepared
an article, published in the Scientific
American, dealing with the CONNER
cial manufacture of this gas and its
general adoption for lighting purposes.
The production of the calcium carbide
from which the acetylene gas Is made

come commercial process, and we
have every reason to hope that the ma
terial will soon be produced by the ton.
There is something fascinating in the
idea of being able to evolve gas OF
about 300-candle power by so SIM
pie process While the crudest pos
sible apparatus, such as a tumbler
of water, is sufficient to illustrate the
production of the gas, the object of the
present article is to show how better
demonstration can be produced with
very simple appliances.
To show the gas with tumbler OF
water, it is sufficient to drop into 1t a
piece of the calcium carbide as large as
a pea; the gas is at once evolved in
large quantity, and match can be ap-
piled repeatedly to the surface Of the
water, giving a number of successive
lightings. The apparatus is con-
structed from battery jar and lamp
chimney as the principal elements, and
is made on the lines Of the old hydro
gen evolution apparatus.
To the top of the lamp chimney,
which should be of large size, cork
should be tightly fitted. Unless the
cork is better than the majority it
should be waxed or paraffined, which is
very easily done by placing some frag-i;
ments of wax or parafine on it and
melting the material with hot solder
ing iron or poker. Through central
perforation tube is inserted, fitted
with stop-cock and gas burner. The.
latter must be of the smallest size

How q Venerable Simian Choked the Life

The wilds of Jungle life are full OF

peculiar incidents. The only weapons
of animal defense and protection are

The brightsunny plains of India, as
well as the loay mountain ranges, af-
ford suitable climatic conditions for
the haunts of numerous hordes OF
monkeys of many different varieties.
They need no training to manifest the
mischievous cunning peculiar to their
species / have often watched them
for hours, and laughed many times at
their playful pranks as they gamboled
together on the ground and among the
trees.
One dav 7 was much disturbed by the
unusual chatter of a troop of these
animals a short distance from my

around to find, if possible. the cause Of
their trouble.
In small tree soon found a good
sized male specimen left behind, gazing
fntently at the roots of the tree. Fol-
lowing the direction of its eyes, 1 was
astonished to see large cobra, coiled
and apparently asleep. Here was the
cause of their annoyance This monkey
seemed more daring than his fellows,
and did not appear the least disturbed
ct my presence.

serpent with stout cane. On second

He slowly left his perch in the forks
of the tree and quietly, with great
caution, moved downward toward the
serpent until he had approached with
in about two feet of the reptile. He
looked ike solemn old man, curiously
moving his head from side to side, as if
closely inspecting the object before
him. Then he took frmer hold of the
tree with one arm and wrapped his
tail closely around the trunk. He

made. the Bray fshtail burner answer
ing about the best of any yet tried.
Merely to exhibit the gas simple jet
may be made by drawing glass tube
almost to a point or by drilling very
small hole in cap fitted to the pipe
leading from the stop-cock. Through a
hole little to one side of the evolution
pipe wire passes, which moves up and
down with some friction through the
hole. Its lower end is formed into a
hook, to which is suspended a little
basket made by bending up little
bit of course wire gauze. A piece
with one-quarter of an inch meshes
will be about right. The suspending
wire is bent at the top to give it bet
ter handle.
To operate it the lamp chimney is
placed in the jar, the water is poured
in until within an inch or two of the
top, and piece of calcium carbide half
the size of walnut is placed in the
basket, which is drawn up until pretty
close to the cork. The cork is now
placed in the lamp chimney and pressed
down so as to make it fit tightly. and
the wire slowly worked down until the
basket becomes partially immersed in
the water. The level of the water is at
once depressed, as the gas is evolved.
and if the cock is open the air and gas
within the chimney begin to escape.
As soon as the odor of the escaping gas
is strong it can be lighted and will burn
for FIVE or ten minutes with great
steadiness. Ii the pressure decreases
and the water rises it comes in contact
with she calcium carbide, more gas
is evolved. and it falls again
The apparatus may be further simpli-
fed by omitting the stop-cock, which
is unnecessary, and a bucket may be
substituted for battery jar. II may
also be necessary TO secure the chimney
against floating upward, although in
the apparatus shown this is quite un-
necessary.
1t is well. before lighting the gas. to
hold test tube over the outlet for
few seconds until filed with gas. and
TO light It with match or at gas
burner. II the contents do not explode
it is safe to light the jet on the Chin
ney; Il it does explode the light should
&c deferred until purer gas is evolved.
Two or three minutes is sufficient to
get it in working order. 1t must also
be remembered that il is essential to
have very small burner as otherwise
the gas will smoke and the supply viii
be insufficient to obtain a satisfactory
fame. The suspending wire must fit
tigatly, as If il slips down the appar-
atus will blow out or overflow. A
very slight immersion of the carbide
starts it.

the horse paved up the loose earth
