the first warm days of early spring, when
the snakes were just awakening from their
torDOr, he and his ranchmen, cowboys, etc,
would just have to leave the cattle TO their
fate and form a Gordon about the house TO
keep the reptiles out Nowadays, though,
such constant precautiOn is not necessary.
as he has hit upon a device to circumvent
the snakes to a certain extent. He managed
TO do this by fencing in the house yard
with closely woven wire netting.
To begin with, however, he had to dig
ditch all around the place to the depth of
about four feet and plant cedar posts, let
ting them stand about six feet above the
level of the ground. Then on these posts he
stretched ten-foot wire netting and threw
the dirt back in the ditch. BY this means,
YOU see, he had four feet of netting under
ground, which prevented the snakes bur-
rowing beneath and coming into the yard,
and a six-foot fence above, which only
the more adventurous reptiles try to sur
mount. Now and then a little snake will
manage to wriggle through the meshes of
the wire and get into the yard, but the
big fellows are practically circumvented.
Every morning, though, man goes all
over the yard on a tour of inspection, kill
ing all the small snakes that may have
crept in before Mrs. Hughes or the little
girls venture out of the house. 1t is not
very pleasant prospect, either, although
you are seated in the house in compare
tive security, to look over the fence and see
the reptiles writhing and squirming in the
sun, now and then butting against the
fence or clinging to the wire in hideous
coiling festoons. About two miles away
from the place is a little bog or marsh,
whence little stream makes into the riv-
er, and here the reptiles breed. Hughes in
weighed me into going over one night to
the neighborhood of the bog, and 1 shall
never forget the horrible noises that ema-
mated therefrom. The snakes were evil
IDENTIFY lighting among themselves, and the
bog seemed to be alive with them. Deliver
me from another experience like the one
that night, and from a home in Texas down
by the Rio Grande. Hughes thinks it is
the garden spot of the universe, however,
and says that when he succeeds in getting
that marsh properly drained the snakes
will disappear"

1T HAS Tucked FOR 40 YEARS.
A Watch That Has Run Since 1854
and is Still Good Timepiece.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Judge Frederick w. Moore, of the supe-
rior court, is the possessor of an heirloom
in the shape of a watch that no amount
of money would buy. And, besides its
value as an heirloom it has a historic
interest.
The time-piece is Of the oPen-face, bulls
eye pattern. AS with all old-style watches
of the pattern mentioned, the outer case
must be removed before it can be wound
The outer case of this watch is of ham
mered gold, and all the work on it was
done by hand. While this is apparent
from the workmanship, it is further
proved by the date on the inside, which is
1854. There is an inscription on the inside
as follows: Daniel De st. Leu, Ser
want to her Majesty. London" Her mai
esty then was the queen of George II, the
then reigning king of England
The authentic history of this valuable
time-pieee is this: In the years preceding
1854 William Augustus, Duke of Cumber-
land, the second son of George II, was the
commander of the British armies In the
Scottish campaigns and in the campaigns
against the Prussians and the Russians
and when he was at the head of the
British, Hanoverian and Danish forces Of
$4,000 men, Dr.. Frederick William
Schwartze, a Hanoverian, was on his staff
as surgeon. At the close of the campaign
against the Prussians and the Russians
the duke had three watches made like
the one Judge Moore has, and Of which it
is one. The watches were presented to
three officers of the dukes staff by him
as mark Of esteem. One went to DIR
Schwartze, as a Hanoverian; one to a
British officer and one to Danish Of
ficer. The presentations were made IN
1855. After the Doctors services had end
ed IN l15l. and the duke had returned to
London II was expected he would succeed
to the throne, but the birth of a SON 10
his elder brother cut him out.

DEATH VALLEY.
A Desert THAT Counts Its Victims by
the Score.


From the San Francisco Call.
IT don't know where it got its NAME"
said Jerome Fuller of Keeler, Inyo coun-
ty. last evening at the Russ house, "but
it is well named. The Spanish called it
Death Valley long before the American
occupation of California, and I am told
that the Indians had a name somewhat
similar, only the word they used meant
quick death, instead of DEATH"
Mr.. Fuller was speaking of that desert
of horrors in the southeast corner of Cal
ifornia, near the Nevada line, known and
designated as Death Valley. THE depos-
its of borax," continued Mr.. Fuller,
would seem to indicate that this waste
spot was once a lake, the waters OF which
were heavily charged with sodium 1t
was in all probability of volcanic origin.
1 suppose that there is no place on this
planet so near to the popular conception
of hell as this awful valley.
Il have been told by travellers who
have visited the Dead sea region that it
is a paradise compared with this pesti-
lential spot, the home of venomous rep
tiles and vermin, and Stunned alike by
man and beast. Its baked and blistered
soil breeds only noXious and venomous
things About the place there is some
thing wierd, uncanny grim and ghoulish.
ly shape of rancorous nature and dia-
Polically ugly. Its dead do not decom-
pose, but are baked in the scorching heat
OF countless scorching days. No tree
or flower or shrub, or sign of vegetable
life relieves the prospect of this drear
waste spot, which lies 200 rect below the
level of the sea and stretches away to
the south for a distance of forty miles.
There is no shade, and not a drop of
moisture ever falls to cool this trackless
waste of salt and sand shimmering I'M
der sun that kills and then petrifies
Some of the California pioneers have
good reason to remember the Death VAL
ley. In 1850 an emgrant train bound for
Sacramento, and composed of about thir-
ty persons, attempted to cross the death
trap. Only one of them lived to tell the
story. The others persisted from heat and
thirst. The sole survivor of this Inflated
train brought out a story of a gold dis
covery, which, during the ten years fol-
lowing the death of his companions,
lured many to destruction in the burning
sands of the valley. Something over
twenty years ago Lieut.. Wheeler of the
army, while on an exploring expedition,
ordered the guide to cross the valley The
guide knowing something of the treache-
rous pit refused to obey the order Wheel
er ordered two soldiers with fixed bayo-
nets to compel the reluctant native to
take up the trail. They started out, the
guide and his armed escorts, but in
about three hours one of the soldiers re-
turned and staggered into camp unable
to articulate. A relief party brought in
the other soldier in a stricken condition.
The guide went crazy and wandered away
to die alone.

DOG CAUGHT BY A PLANT.
The Adventure of the Naturalist ana
she CarnivOrOus Vegetable.

From the Literary Digest
"Carnivorous plants" says Victor Ber-
nard, ARE certainly among the curiosi-
ties of the vegetable world. The poetical
and religious Linnaeus, who had occasion
to study the fiy-catching paeony. found,
in his astonishment, no other name to be-
stow upon it than this-'miraculum ma
turae' prodigy of nature). Since the IL
lustrious Swedish botanist the mechanism
Of carnivorous plants has been we'll stud
led, and particularly by Darwin, who has
devoted to these plants a remarkable
work. They are usually of small dimen-
sions, and do not attain the size of one de-
scribed in the 'Bolletino del Naturalista'
august 10 1890. NJ. Fabiani Carlo tells
there of gigantic carnivorous plant that
has been discovered on the shores of Lake
Nicaragua by a naturalist named Dun
stan. He discovered this curious plant
in the following manner:
Travelling with his dog, he heard the
animal give vent to cries of pain. He ad-
vanced and found his dog held by three
black, sticky bands, under which the skin
was chafed till it bled. These bands were
the branches of a new carnoivorous plant,
which Dunstan calls the 1and-octopus.'
The branches are flexible. polished, black,

tried to cut the branches and succeeded.
though not without difficulty, and after
having his hands severely injured by the
tentacles of the land-octopus.' AS may
be realized, observations under these con-
dllons were not convenient to make and
the naturalist was able to get few facts
concerning this odd plant He proved the
presence of numerous suckers, and found
that the fetid odor of the black sticky
liquid that covers the branches serves to
attract prey to the plant He also was
able to note similarity of character with
other carnivorous plants; for instance
the land-octopus' abandons its prey after
having sucked out the nutritive elements
