should be presiding officer. He wanted George 0. Pendleton of Belton selected instead of Mir. Johnson.
 At the conclusion of Mr. Fosters re- marks the greatest imaginable confusion followed. Nearly every delegate in the hall was upon his feet shouting and jes- ticulating like mad men, The chairman appealed for order in vain. In the midst of the uproar the band began playing "Dixie This only increased the ardor of the enthusiasts.
 The chairman threw up both hands and did not attempt to quiet the tumult- uous delegates for 10 minutes. Then there was Hull for three minutes and Mayor Rice of Houston, who had been endeayoring to be heard, took the plat form to second Mir. Johnston's nomina- tion.
 The noisy scene of a few minutes pre- vious WAS again enacted. Everybody was trying to make 9 speech, but not a word they said could be heard by the chair Finally Mir. Dudley yelled out if the noise did not cease an adjourn ment would be taken at once.
 Order was again restored and the vote on the committees report was pro- ceeded with. When about half the counties had been polled Pendleton's friends withdrew his name and Johnson was declared unanimously elected tenn porary chairman While the vote was being taken on the question, however, several personal encounters between del egates were narrowly averted.
 When Johnson took the platform some person began crying out, "Goldbug p and the yell of ''put him out" went up and the obnoxious delegate subsided.
 There was no fight on any of the other temporary officers suggested by the state committee beside MT. Johnston.
 After temporary organization had been effected the usual committees were appointed and the convention adjourned until $50 o'clock this morning The committee on permanent organiza- tion, credentials, etc, were in session yesterday afternoon and last night
 The fight for permanent chairman of the state executive committee is the battle of the convention, and it is hard to pick the winner The cand' dates are J. ". Blake of Mexia, John Bookout of Dallas, and Monta Moore of Cameron.
 It is conceded that either Blake or Bookout will win At times it seems that Bookout is certain to be landed, and then again it would look like Blake would be the successful candidate Moore may hold enough votes to detain the selection. aud if he does, there is no telling how things will end.
 It is almost an assured fact that Rea- gan and Maytield will be two of the l railroad commissioners with Storey, M Gall, Haines, Cochran, MeDonald and Peyton from which to select the third member
 Tom Smith of Hill will nominate Culberson for governor. Heis the same gentleman who nominated him at Dal- las. De Graffenried will second his nomination and so will Johsthan Lane. De Graffenried will nominate Baker and Cullen Thomas will perform the same service for Jester. Wood of Sherman will place Mayfeld's $ name be- fore the convention.

A RATTlEsNAkE DEN.
Accidental Discovery OF the Subterrznsan
Home OF Many Reptiles.

RattlesnalIe creek, small stream that
empties into the Wabash river from the
north a few miles from Lockport, is
one of the most beautiful and picfur-
esque streams in northern Indiana,
SAYS the Indianapolis News
One OF the descendants of a pioneer
settler in that region recently related
the story that gave the name to this
stream. Several miles up from the
mouth of the creek, near where the two
main branches which form the stream
meet, lived Mort Ellis, about so years
ago. The pioneers cabin stood on the
brow of long sloping hill at the foot
OF which was spring which supplied
the family with water.
In those early days rattlesnakes
were quite numerous and especially
so in the Ellis neighborhood. and the
father cautioned his four little girls
TO be very careful in their play lest
they be bitten. One Sabbath afternoon,
as the children were playing in the
yard, one of the little girls, now Mrs.
Alice Wilson. of Kollomo, suddenly
broke through the ground and fell
into an aperture up to her arms. Her
cries soon brought out the family, and
in drawing her from the cave. three
rattlesnakes were found hanging to
her clothing. Down in the small cave
could be seen many other poisonous
reptiles. Although it was the Sabbath
and Mr.. Ellis was a devout Quaker, yet
he deemed the occasion one of moment
and he sent for several of his neigh
bors, and with them attacked the den
Of snakes, and when they got through
with their work 521 dead rattlers were
piled up in the yard. AD examination
disclosed the fact that the spring at
the foot the hill from which the family
used water was connected by q passage
to the snakes den.

the food of fire, while by others the
same belief was embodied in the phrase;
"Air nourishes FIRE" Again, it was
long ago observed that nitre. a SUBJ
stance well known to the chemical phil
osophers of the past, could produce H.
tense ignition. 1t was hence inferred
that, since nitre possessed this proper
ty, it necessarily followed that the two
substances resembled each other in
composition. According to Robert
Boyle, the air contained volatile nitre.'
while Lord Bacon held that air con.
tanned a volatile, crude, and windy
spirit" and thunder and lighting were
supposed to be due to the presence OF
minute particles Of this nitre diffused
through the air.
The important bearing of such OBJ
servations is due to the fact that
oxygen gas, which is one of the CHIEF
constituents of air, and the one &c
which it owes its power of supporting
combustion, also forms the largest
elementary constituent of nitre, and is
likewise the source of the power pos.
sessed by that body of supporting com
bustion
The action of heat on metals in caus.
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Car
dan, a philosopher who lived during the
18th century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas
in the air which feeds fame and which
relfindles a body presenting an ignited
point.-Scottish Review.

There is nothing more solitary than
the life of the men who go into the
Maine forests to gather gum. Their
cabins are in the most remote town
ships. even away from the paths of the
hunters and from the camps of the
loggers, for the gum scrapers prosper
principally upon territory which the
lulnbermen have not mangled. One of
the most noted Maine gum harvesters
has been in the woods IS seasons. He
builds a cabin in the fall when he is
about to begin work in a new territory.
1t is generally small one, but he takes
great pains to make 1t one that can be
easily kept warm. One year he passed
five months without seeing single hui
nan being, and at the end of that time
found that another man had been in a
camp less than four miles from him all
winter. They did not see each others
tracks for the reason that the other fell
low was trapping and confined his
journeyings TO a valley where large
stream and its branches gave him a

Big Ones That Have Come Close to Oar

From all that is known OF PERKINS,
comet, it does not seem, says the New
York Sun, to be one of the largest of it's
kind. A very brilliant comet appeared
in 1869 with q tail 10000, 900 miles in
length, and passed within 1900. 900
miles of the earth without hurting any
one.
The comet of 1911 was computed by
Herschel to be 100000 miles in
length and 5000, 900 in breadth. tire
manned visible to the naked eye for sew
eral months
Biels's comet, which many persons
feared would strike the earth, first APP
peared in 1926; it came back twice aft
erward, and then vanished.
Donati's comet, with tail 4o, 900. 600
miles long, was first seen in ISIS. when
IL was 22S, 100000 miles from the earth.
1t nearly ran into Venus, but did not.
The great comet of 1861 travelled at
the rate of 10000. 900 miles every -
hours and many persons thought that
its tail came In contact with the earth
June 30 of that year, there being on that
day "a phoephorescent auroral glare"
Much of the knowledge of the compo-
sition Of comets is due 10 the late Prof.
Henry Draper. who was very successful
in making photographs OF several OF
them.

THE FISH HAWK.
One That Was Drowned with the Fish &c
Was Trying to Catch.

One That Was Drowned with the Fish It
Was Trying to Catch.
The fish hawk, said a fisherman, "a1-
most always carries fish with its head
in the same direction as its own. An
ordinary sized fish hawk will catch and
carry off four-pound shad without
any great difficulty. and nothing less
than a charge of shot will make him let
go. I've stood under fish hawk flying
not more than IS or so yards high with a
fish in his claws and shouted at him IN
til the neighbors thought was trying
@ new fog horn, and yet never disturbed
him a bit.
But the fish hawk doesn't always
have it his own way. Sometimes he
gets caught. 1 once saw big hawk,
with four-foot spread of wings, that
was sailing along Monmouth beach.
Suddenly he made dive and fixed his
claws in a fsh's back. The fish sounded.
The fish hawks claws are sharp and
strong; they sink far and hold fast.
The fish was 30-pound striped bass,
good deal bigger, in fact, than the hawk
had calculated on and far more than he
could carry away. he could not free
his claws nor could the fish free itself.
So they struggled there in the water
until both were dead. They were cast
upon the beach, the fish hawks claws
still fast in the fSh'S back"
