Old Neptune Hand Engine viii DC Housed
In o Barn on Hickory Strcet-Dcath
Of Mrs. bridget Gaughan.

Quarters have been fitted up in a
barn on Hickory street. near Cedar ave-
| nue., for the old Neptune hand engine,
donated to the Volunteer t'iremen's as
sociation by DR.. and Mrs. b. II. Throop.
The machine is priced as a relic and is
now in Finch's works being FURNISHED
and ornamented. Nearly two years ago
it came into possession or the associa-
ton, and the most of that time 1t has
been on the dry dock. The barn in
which it will be housed Is owned by
Charles Kaestner, and it will be guarded
with great care.
1t was purchased thirty-five years
ago for the Neptune Engine company.
When more modern fire apparatus came
in vogue in 1874 new steamer was
purchased and the relic was discarded.
Philip Robinson. deceased, purchased
it as memento of the early days of the
city, and from his estate it went to DR..
George $. Throop, also deceased, who
paid for it to present 1t to the Volunteer
association. But he died before he
turned it over. His parents. DR.. and
Mrs. b. II. Throop. wishing to carry out
what their son had begun. conveyed 1t
in his name. 1t is thought hat the ma
chine will be taken over to its new
home next week. Peter Robling, jr., of
the Neptunes, is president of the asso-
citation; he and lSadore Goodman are
the committee that has secured the
barn for this purpose.

Nature Paints of Negroes.

A writer in Progress Artistique, in discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with fleeting association with for eigners, results in a species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, developed monkey music.

A GREAT SNAKE COLONY.
An Australian Enthusiast Has a Fine Col lection of Venomous Reptiles,

An Australian Enthusiast Has a Fine Col i lection of yenomous Reptiles.
 Mir. J. McGarvie Smith, an eminent bacteriologist of Sydney, Australia, is the proprietor of probably the greatest collection of snakes in the world, says the New York World. He is in the business partly for scientific purposes and partly for business. He advertised some time ago for 500 venom ous reptiles, but one publisher refused to permit the advertisement until he had satisfied himself of the sanity of the scientist.
 The different species of venomous snakes in Australia, so far as known, number 42, and MT. Smith has speci- mems of all of them. The poison ex- tracted from the reptiles is largely used in the Pasteur institute in Paris.
 Mir. Smith is an enthusiast on the subject of snakes, and regards them as the most wonderful of living creatures. He has in his collection serperts that have gone nearly a year without food and are still fat. He has injected some of their own poison into them without the slightest ill-effects to them. As a result of his sinvestigations he has cstah- ished the fact that a non-poisonous snake is not affected in any way by the poison of the venomous species.
 "Why.' said Smith, .'it docs not kill one Of it's own species wh:l, its 50 !atal to other creatures is cne of the nyste- ries of the Almighty which we cannot unravel."

In comes the don to say that the guide
1Utll haze us moUtng at once.
long line, the mules falling into this
order of themselves as if they had trav-
eled the path hundred times, but
there was no means Of going otherwise,
the path being atrociously narrow and
steep, and only fit for wild goats, there
being no land rail, coping or anything in
the world to stay one from being hurled
down 900 feet, and the mountain sides
so inclined that twas Il miracle the
mules could find foothold and keep their
balance. From the bottom of the ravine
came constant roar of falling water,
though we could spy it only now and
then leaping down from one chasm to
another, and more than once our guides
would cry to us to stop, and that where
our mules had to keep shifting their
feet to get hold, while some huge bowl
der, loosened by the nights rain, flew
down across our path in terrified bounds
from the heights above, making the
very mountain tremble with the shock
Not word spoke We; nay, we had
scarce courage at times to draw breath
for two hours and more of this fearful
passage, with no encouragement from
our guides save that one of them did
coolly take out a knife and peel an on
ion as though he had been on level,
broad road, and then, reaching a fiat
space, we came to stand again before
an ascent that promised to be worse
than that we had done. Here we got
down, Moll clinging to our hands and
looking around her with huge, frighted
eyes
"Shall we soon be there?" she asked.
And, the don putting this question in
Spanish to the guides, they pointed up
ward to a gap filled with snow, and an
swered that was the highest point This
was some consolation, though we could
not regard the rugged way that lay be-
twixt us and that without quaking. In
deed, thought that even Don Sanchez,
despite the calm, unmoved countenance
he ever kept, did look about him with a
certain kind of uneasiness. However,
taking example from our guides, we I'M
loosed our saddlebags, and laid out our
store of victuals with a hogskin Of wine
which rekindled our spirits prodigiously.
While we were at this repast our
guides, starting as if they had caught a
sound Though we heard none save the
horrid bursting of water), looked down,
and one of them, clapping two dirty
fingers in his mouth, made shrill whis-
tie. Then we, looking down, presently
spied two mules far below on the path
we had come, but at such distance
that we could scarce make out whether
they were mounted or not.
"Who are they?" asks Don Sanchez
sternly. as managed to understand.
Friends, replies one of the fellows
with grin that seemed to lay his face
in two halves
