Diggin e for Buried Coin.

A lot of old coins, supposed to have been
buried by Indians, were found yester-
day on the farm of \. II. Thorn
as. on the banks of Deer creek,
near Logansport, Ind, at point where
an Indian village was at one time located.
While blowing over piece of ground,
which had never been disturbed, Rufus
Armstrong unearthed fifty eight silver
half dollars bearing dates from 1907 TO
1884. A bone that a physician pro-
nounced to be piece of the radius OF the
human body, was also found. Search will
be made for more trea sure.
1t is said that the Indians, when they
drew their money from the government
would let the squaWs take part of it. and
the bucks would so on q spree until Their
portion was exhausted. The sQuaWs a.
ways buried the money. Many years ago,
during one of these periodical debauches
this village was attacked by hostile
tribe, and the villagers fled in great haste
1t is supposed that the fugitives, in their
hasty flight into the wilderness, eft large

nearest to him. Then the flap which is
now the nearest and which is gummed
both in front and rear is folded back
Tito the further pocket, and adheres to
both sides of the latter. Finally, what is
now the rearmost flap is brought forward
and downward, and sealed, as in the
ordinary envelope. The means usually
employed by people who tamper with
letters will avail to open this outer flap,
but the inventor claims that it is impossi-
BILE to get steam in where it will release
the inner flap without affecting the ink
of the address so as to show that some
one had been meddling. With an envel-
ope of this pattern enclosed in regis
tered pouch of the same design of course
the possibility of prying and pilfering
would be reduced to minimum.-NeW

'Ilnle wild Tell.

The Queen frowns on the theatrical
profession, and, so far as our knowledge
goes, has never accorded recognition to
any of the stage divinities that have been
drafted by marriage into the peerage
These pecresses will, no matter how
sightingly the Queen may treat them,
have the right to be present at the next
coronation Gf there ever is another) and
stand up with the other peeresses and
display their coronets. At the drawing
rooms the sovereign greets the consorts of
peers with a kiss on the left cheek, while
she extends to all others her hand to be
kissed. 1t is said that the Prince Con
sort expressed an unalterable repugnance
to permitting his wife to bestow this
salutation upon eX-actresses, and that the
Queen, respecting this sentiment, has
continued to bar eX-professionals from
these functions. Looking at it from the
standpoint of the next reign, l wonder if
Alexandra will, as Queen Consort. OBJ
Ject for like reasons to King Edward
VII. receiving stage peeresses at his court.
1t viii be his right royal duty to kiss
all of them, just as it is his mothers to
do so now.

GREATEST OF SNAKES.
A South American Anaconda Taken to
England.

a South American Anaconda Taken to
England.
Recently 4 South American ana conda,
which measures twenty-nine feet in
length, has been taken to the Natural
History museum at South Kensington,
London. This is one of the largest SER
penis in captivity; but H. w. Bates, an
English naturalist, who died recently,
had heard on the Amazon of anacondas
which were fOrty-two feet in length.
The bulk of such a serpent is enormous;
and the Brazilian anaconda, or eunecteS
murinus, is probably the largest snake in
the world. The weight of an anaconda in
creaSeS in an advancing proportion as
its length increases; that is to say, a
snake twenty feet long would be four
times the weight of one ten feet long.
These Brazilian anacOndas, which are
sometimes called pythons, and often ''boa
constructors" though they are not related
to either the python or the boa proper,
are not venomOus but are nevertheless
highly destructive either to man or ami
mails, if they wish TO be. They can easily
crush man to death, and cases are
known in which they have swallowed hui
man beings.
1t is agreed by naturalists that the Bra
lillian anaconda would be a dreadful
scourge if its ferocity were equal to it's
strength and astonishing sWiftness of
.
If 1t were as rapaciOuS as the Indian
python, it could kill every creature, in
Guiding man. that is found in the delta of
the Amazon.
1t is simply impossible to keep out Of
its reach, as it will go anywhere, along 4
rope. up the side of ship or in at a house
window. H. w. Bates has related his eN-
perience with his first anaconda. He was
at anchor in a large boat. in deep water,
in the port of Antonio Malagueita. An
anaconda swan out to the boat. lifted its
head from the water. and with it broke
in the side of a fowlhouse on deck and
carried off a couple of fowls.
1t was found that this snake had been
stealing ducks and fowls from that part of
the river for months. A hunt for him was
searched, and at last the serpent was
found summing itself in a muddy creek and
was killed
Mr.. Bates lived eleven years on the
Amazon without any serious adventures
with the anaconda. A neighbor of his.
however, who had lett his 10-year-old
son in a boat while he Went on shore to
gather some fruit. heard the boys
screams in the distance and returned to
find his child completely encircle6 by an
anaconda, which was preparing TO Swal-
low him.
The father Ieaped upon the snake and,
IN his Jury, actually tore it's jaws asunder
and liberated the boy.
Like many other tropical snakes the
anaconda is brilliant and beautiful in APP
pearance. It's skin is a groundwork Of
rich brown, over which a double series of
blOtches extends along the back. with
bright rings along the sides.-Youth' 5

An Interesting Scientific Toy.

A toy was shown recently before the
London Physiological society which pos
sesses more than ordinary interest In
construction it is extremely simple CON
sisting of a fiat circular disk mounted as
a top. One half of the disk is white,
the other half black. On the white half
are drawn in different positions small
segments of black circles, concentric
with the circumference. If one were
asked what would be the result of the
fusion of black and white color sensa-
tons which occur in spinning the top
one would possibly say gray. But the
remarkable fact is nevertheless true
that the rings appear colored-red. yell
low, blue and violet. On reversing the
top the order of the color is reversed No
satisfactory explanation could be given
for the phenOmenon.-Cin En-

TO MEASURE FOR PAPER.
Rules Which if Followed Makes This a
Very Easy Task.

Rules Which if Followed Makes This a
Very Easy Task.
AS different paperhangers pursue differ
ent methods in hanging paper, so there
are various rules and forms for measur-
ing rooms. We therefore append several
methods, any of which Will bring the de-
sired result.
AS most paper when trimmed is eight
cen inches wide and tWenty-four feet to
a single piece, piece will contain thirty
six square feet.
Measure the length and height of each
wall in feet and multiply. Add together
the number of square feet of each wall,
getting total number of square feet. Di-
vide this total by thirty-six, which will
give you the number of pieces required
for side wall. Allow one-half piece OF
paper for each door and window.
To allow for waste in matching it is
safer to divide by thirty-three instead of
thirty-siX.
To find number of single pieces required
for ceiling, multiply length by width, in
feet, and divide by thirty-three.
A Mental Rule.-Suppose q room to
be five yards long by four yards wide
which nets eighteen yards around the
room. This is equal 20 thirtysiX half
yards or breadths of paper For each
door or window allow two breadths. Our
example room having two doors and one
window, we allow six breadths, which
brings us down to thirty breadths. The
room being nine feet high, we divide by
five, which gives us q result of six dou-
BILE or twelve single pieces.
For a room seven feet high divide by
six. A room eight or nine feet high, di-
vide by five. A room ten or eleven feet
high, divide by four.-Kayser & All
mans Hints to Paperhangers.

a Snake and a Chicken

V. I. Davis, who lives some miles dis
tant from Benton, La, heard noise in
his henhOuse and took a lantern to in
vestigate. Opening the door cautiously
he walked the whole length of the hen
house, bat discovered nothing AS he
turned round to start cut, however, he
found the cause Of the cOmmotion to be
a big black chicken snake, which was
hanging by its tail from a beam just
above the door, with a half-grewn pullet
partly swallowed and dangling from his
mouth Davis lost no time in demolsh-
ing the offender, and setting the pullet
free. Strange to relate, the only injury
which seemed to result to tine chicken
from her downward course into the ser
pentine interior, SO to speak, lis that the
feathers about her neck are how frizzled.
whereas before they were straight, like
those covering the rest Of her body.
