 Master Mechanic William Cockfeld
 of the Mexican Central at Chihuahua
 has been appointed superintendent of
 motive power and machinery of the
 Inter-Oceanic road, running from the City of Mexico to Vera Cruz. This is the deserved promotion of worthy man. MT. COcktield made an excellent record for himself while in the employ of the Central, and is in every way competent to fill satisfactorily the duties Of his new position.
 The Mexican Central was con- demned to pay twenty thousand dol lars in a local court in Tampico, because of an accident to a child. The little boy was standing on one of the platform steps, when the engineer suddenly started from the station Of Dona Cecilia, throwing the child of the train. One of the wheels went over his foot, and 1t was necessary to amputate it above the ankle; for which damage to his son the father, GUS tom house inspector, sued for the above sum in local court and won his suit. He then came to Mexico to col lect it which he found much more difficult.

The yerbena is a plant of almost universal growth, and this simple remedy is within the reach of everybody.
 At the City of Mexico much interest Is felt regarding the truth of the alleged interview with United States Minister Ransom telegraphed from Washington to the Globe Democrat, in which Ransom is quoted as saying a new extradition treaty is required in order to prevent embezzlers from the United States escaping extradi- tion by using money among Mexican authorities. If Ransom is correctly | reported he will probably be regarded there as persona non grata, the al- legged utterances being direct attack | on the highest tfunctionaries for whom, while there Ransom expressed esteem. It is charitably believed that the minister was misrepresented. A later telegram from the Mexican capital conveys an indignant personal denial from Minister Ransom himself.
 One of the most interesting sights railroad men in Mexico ever saw was the train of flats that was pulled over the Rio Grande at El Paso last Friday by one of the Mexican Central engines.

white. He was In an open glade, glid-
ing through the heritage, delaying a
little perhaps for an opportunity to get
at some birds that were chatter1ng and
hopping about on the branches of a
thorny, yellow blossomed acacia. The
sun was blazing down fercely on him,
as, with half-distended hood held close
to the ground, he slowly passed through
the leaves and flowers For a few min
utes I watched his movements through
my binocular glass, but, fearing he
might notice me and escape In some
hole, 1 picked up my six-foot hunting
stick and rushed toward him, intend
ing to press his head to the ground with
1t and then take him by the neck with
my hand.
''He saw me coming and like a valiant
warrior that knew his power he faced
around and stood erect with expanded
hood and quivering tongue, ready to
receive me. His bright, black eyes
sparkled with energetic defiance and
every fiber of his being was electrified
with excitement.
'While was yet ten feet away he
struck toward me with such force that
the impetus carried him fat to the
ground. In trying to get my stick across
hisneck he lodged it, and it came instead
across the middle of his body. At this
moment he was between me and the
sun, with about five feet between his
face and mine. looked into his eyes
and held him down firmly. His rage
seemed redoubled. He leaned back
ward to make moro vigorous dash at
me, and as he struck forward the
mouth partially opened and two tiny
streams of venom shot from his fangs
as from syringe, one Of them catching
me on the face just beneath the eye.
Had 1t gone little higher up should
have been blinded for months and per-
haps had my sight permanently in
jured.
"This unexpected attack made me
hasten the capture; so, getting his neck
pressed down to the ground with the
stick, 1 soon had him grasped In my
hand just behind the head In such a
way that he couldn't possibly turn to
bite me-which he made every effort
to do for some minutes afterward.
Taking him home with much satisfao-
ton, made him thereafter my fellow
ledger. While living in his cage OBJ
served him many times squirt the
venom from his fangs against the glass
of it's front. Thenceforth my doubts
about splitting snakes were removed"
The cobra's poison fangs project be-
yond the lower lips when it strikes, so
that it can injure fatally without biting.

Value of Hands and Fingers.

An engineering journal has collected
some interesting statistics from the
tables Of German miners insurance
company. If man loses both hands
he is registered as entailing 100 per
cent. loss. In other words, he has been
deprived of the ability to earn a liveli-
hood. The loss of the right hand de-
preciates the value of an individual as
a worker 70 to so per cent, while the
loss of the left hand leaves him with
only go to 10 per cent. of his original
earning capacity. The thumb is taken
as playing part equal to 20 to 80 per
cent. as bread winner; the first fin
ger Of the right hand is put at Ia to 10
per cent, and of the left hand at from
8 to 1876 per cent. and the middle finger
of either hand. is worth from 10 to
10 per cent. The value of the third
finger is put down as from to per
cent, while that of the little finger Is
estimated at to 10 per cent. These
values may appear arbitrary, but 1t is
explained that the apparent inconsis-
tency in the rating is occasioned by the
difference in the trades followed by the
injured ones.

Removing in 1882 to what was then
the territory of Dakota, he continued
to engage in journalism. 1t was about
this time that he became prominent as
an advocate of the republican policy of
dividing the territory and admitting
both sections to the union.
He was twice elected mayor of
Devils Lake. In 1883 he was chosen
as delegate to the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago, and was
there chosen to act as national COM
mitteeman for North Dakota. Shortly
after this he was elected by his dis

FACTS ABOUT THE SEA.

DR.. Young estimates the mean
depth of the Atlantic at about 16, oOO
feet.
The saline matter held in solution
in sea water comprises one thirtieth
of it's weight.
The water of the Mediterranean
contains a greater portion of salt than
that of the ocean.
The sea-cypress kind of coral,
sometimes has 5000 to 10000 animals
on single branch.
Nearly three fourths of the world S
drainage, directly or indirectly, pours
into the Atlantic ocean.
VT is estimated that the water of
the whole ocean contains in solution
over 1000, 900 tons of pure siler.
1t is estimated that two years are
required for the gulf water to travel
from Florida to the coast of Norway.
Tie whole bottom of the ocean is
covered with a layer of calcareous
ooze, mingled with the skeletons and
other animal remains of its inhabi-
tants.
If it were not for the salts of the
ocean the whole sea would soon be-
come a mass of corruption, owing to
the decay of the organic matter it
contains.

COBRA AND ITS VENOM.
Interesting Observations on the
Deadliest Of All Reptiles.
Tfs{zN Thousand or More Persons Die An
nually I'm India from Its Attacks-It
Can Actually XIII With
out Biting.

Mr.. G. R. O'Reilly shows remark
able familiarity with snakes. In
Popular Science Monthly he writes
about the cobra. Among the very in
teresting facts he tells about this, the
dsedliest of all snakes, is that it is able
tISsquirt its venom from the ground to
the height of a mans face.
Every year 10000 or more persons
lose their lives in India from the bite of
the cobra. This has happened from
time out of mind, and there is no i'm
mediate prospect of stopping it.
There are several varieties of cobra,
including Naja tripudians of India,
.Naja haja Of north Africa, and Sepedon
Intermediates of South Africa. True
oobras do not exist In other countries.
They vary in color from brown to
black, but are usually banded with
light and dark rings. At full growth
they are usually four feet in length
and two inches In diameter, but they
sometimes reach length of six feet.
Venomous snakes are roughly divided
by Mr.. O'Reilly into two classes-viper-
idae and elapidae. The rattlesnake be-
longs to the former and the cobra to
the latter. The head in the RATHER is
broad and fiat and the neck very thin.
In the cobra the head, neck and body
are Oh. about the same thickness until
the tail is reached.
The cobra l. very timid. The least
motion alarms i'm. If you stand be-
fore cobra and move your right and
left hands up and down it will strike
repeatedly to the right and left, fol-
lowing your motions. This habit ac-
counts for the belief that the cobra
loves music and dances to it. 1t Is the
players motions which cause the snake
to dance The cobra is very quick
sighted, but practically without hear
ing, as it's head is entirely covered by
the skin in the place where the ears
would be.
So nervous is the cobra that it will
strike at moving object before it has

but soon passed into the profession of
Journalism, from which he graduated
as statesman. He passed the days of
his boyhood in the little town of Prairie
du Rocher, which is situated in Ran
dolph county, III. 1t was here that he
was born on the SOth day of January,
184s, and where he received his COM
mon-school education. From this place
he removed, in 1867, with his parents
to California, in which latter state he
picked up the trade of a printer. Two
years later he began the publication of
a daily paper at San Jose, and later
became connected with the San Fran
