zone of the first differences one notices
between Europe ana AE-.rica,'' said he,
'is the change in the thcaters and in their
management Now. in Europe onl the grea,
opera houses are constructed on the large
scale which char acteriZes the principal
American theaters. The regular theaters
are all very small, and, Notwithstanding
the fact that their capacity is limited in this
way, the seats are put very far apart. so
that one can walk from one end OF a row to
the other without disturbing any one. But
to compensate the managers for the limited
number of seats, almost every one is occu-
pied at each performance. IN fact, il one
wishes toressrve a chair in Loudon for al
most any attraction it is necessary to pro
cure il several days IN advance. Another
difference is in the waits between the acts.
While the American people. with their char
acteristic nervousness, insist on a short
space of time between act and act, Euro
peans encourage long interiudcs. While the
curtain is down the audience rise en- masse
and promenade in the roomy lobbes, which
on such an occasion present the appearance
OF ballroom.

CRANK MARsTON, of Los Angeles,
CAL, is guest at the Raleigh. Mr..
Marston is loud in his praises OF his
State. and as one of the advantages points
out that there Is a section OF California
to boil her Water for culinary or other
purposes. as 1t is furnished ready-boiled
by nature. This region is situated in the
southern part OF the State, and has re-
ceivcd the highly suggestive name OF Hell's
Half-acre. 1t appears to be situated di-
rectly above a substratum of molten lava,
which causes the mud and water to boil
and siZzle as IL it we're above a huge fur
mace. There is one place on the Halfacre
not much greater In extent than an
ordinary city square, which contains over
100 boiling springs and hot mud geysers.
The largest OF these springs is called the
Fountain OF the Boiled Turtles, from the
fact that occasionally 1T elects numbers VI
small red turtles. Notwithstanding the fact
that the temperature of this spring is 22G
degrees, IA degrees higher than the tenn
perature required to boil water under
ordinary atmospheric pressure, these tur-
ties are alive. Meat put in the spring will
be thoroughly boiled in the space OF few
minutes, nevertheless, these extraordinary
creatures live and breed Just as readily
as do the ordinary species in the waters
of lakes and rivers. The adjective boiled
is prefixed, because " hen they are elected
from the spring 5aa y have the appearance OF
having been cooked ! n " ater and being per-
fectly done.

II is somewhat singular, of course. that re-
pairs should be so backward two wceks after

One of the first things Congress should do

selves by Their Own Bites.
81 Io1,;s Ren,Ib1jc


The question as to whether the rattle
snakes venom is poisonous to itself has
often been discussed, but if any salts
factory conclusion has ever been arrived
at we are unawar OF the fact. DR.. W. j.
Burnett, formerly member OF the Boston
Society of Natural History, says that there
are good reasons for believing that the
acton OF the rattler's viruleut poison is
the same upon all living things, vegetable
as well as animal. Other eminent nat
uralists combat this theory and declare
that the idea OF an animal poison killing
or injuriug vegetable is really prepos-
ferrous. Burnett says: "It is even just as
ferrous. Burnett says: "It is even just as
fatal to the snake itself as to other animals"
Then he relates the experience of one Dr.
Dearing.. The doctor had a specimen of
the prolific rattler which he kept alive
in a cage, One day he irritatcd the reptile
SO as to study the effect Of the anger thus
provoked. The snake struck wildly about a
few times and then buried its fangs in its
own body. Almost Instantly, the expert
menter says, the reptile rolled over and died.
IF this story is true, and we have no reason
to doubt the story, we see in it the remark

liquid secreted from the blood which proves
deadly when introduced into the very source

election, and the legs Of those in the other
mining States have been heightened ac-
cordingly. The United States yielded $12,-
O5l 900 of silver last year. Mr.. Bryan's
election would increase this output to $780,
900 900 for 1897. The added profit 10
the silver trust under free coinage would be
a. cents an ounce, which would make the
product worth STAT ,OOO.OOO to the silver
kings. Consequently the silver trust con-
tribution to Bryan's election is a pretty good
Investment.
