SNAKES PLrr = ROBBERY
An Ingenious Arrangement by Which
Bank Swallows Were to Be Caught.

An Ingenious GuECr-ut by Which
Bank Swallows Were to Be Caught.
A number of Baltimore naturalists
had an unique experience the other day
while on an ornithological excursion.
They were searching for bank swal-
lows in the neighborhood of Tolches-
ter beach, about a mile from the pier
where the excursion boats land.
The nests of bank swallows are built
in holes IN perpendicular banks, gen
orally in colonies, dozens of holes be-
ing only a few inches apart. The bark
the young men were exploring was
about 80 feet in height, with the nests
averaging seven feet from the top. The
bank was almost perpendicular and
the nests were reached by means of
ladders constructed Of trees.
One of the naturalists, after work
ing for some time at one of the nests,
felt his hand come in contact with
some thing unusual. Drawing out his
hand and looking into the hole he was
surprised to find, coled down at the
bottom a huge blacksnake, which, after
being gotten out and killed, proved to
be nearly seven feet in length.
Afterward two other snakes, equally
as long, were found in different holes.
The surface of the bank was perfectly
smooth, so the only possible way for
the snakes to have reached the nests
was to have let themselves down from
some short overhanging roots at the top
of the bank. 5=a.a- = 2. > 5 - % -
The snakes seemed to have worked
along the bank from nest to nest, as
several nests were found in which were
eggs that had been emptied of their
contents In a nest with one of the
snakes was a bird which had been late
1y killed, and which the snake evident
" was about to devour when its own
end came.
The naturalists said they had been
collecting eggs for many years, but
had never before seen anything SO like
a well-planned attack of snakes upon
birds eggs--Baltimore Sun.

MARKED ur PROXY.
No Less Than Three Queens Have
Thus Acquired Their Titles.

One of the queerest features of court
life in Europe is the marriage by proxy
of roval personages. There are at the
present moment no less than three
royal ladies who have been thus welded
the queen regent of Spain, the dow
arer queen of Portugal and the eX-
queen of Naples.
Kings and reigning sovereigns are
held to be too important personages to
be married anywhere else than in their
own dominions. On the other hand,
it is held to be mira dignitate for
spinster princess of the blood, VINO IS
about to blossom forth into a full
fedged queen or empress, to travel
abroad in quest of a consort.
| In order to meet this difficulty the
royal or imperial bridegroom delegates
one of the principal mobiles of the realm,
who goes through the religious and civil
portion of the wedding ceremony in the
capital of the brides country on behalf
of his master, making the responses for
him and rendering, his hand, as well as
the ring, at the prescribed points of the
ceremony. He then accompanies her
to his masters dominions, acting as her
chief escort.
According TO the ideas OF the Roman
Catholic church, ceremony of this
kind is sufficiently binding upon the
bride and upon the royal bridegroom to
render any further ceremony, ecclesi-
astical or civil, superfuous, and when
any additional religious function takes
place it usually assumes the form of a
''Te Deum' and solemn benediction, at
tended by both husband and wife inn
mediately on the arrival of the latter in
the capital of her adopted country

The "Heathen Chinee.v

The Chinese are not always honora-
BILE in their dealings with foreigners.
Col. Jefferds, of Texas, who has recent
ly returned from China, and is now in
Washington, tells remarkable story
of the manner in which he lost big
contract through the duplicity of Mr..
Sheng, and number of other gentle
men-English, Germans and Ameri-
cans-are complaining of unjust treat
ment. The ''heathen Chinee" can be
depended upon to look after his own
interests and take advantage of the in
nocence and trustfulness of others.
People who engage in trade with him
must keep their eyes open, for he has
learned lot of tricks from Christians
of Europe, and has retentive memory,

GREAT UMBRELLA AT OMAHA.


novel Mechanical Device at the
TransmississiE2i Exposition.
The last Paris exposition had it's Eiffel
tower, Chicago had its Ferris wheel,
Nashville has its gigantic seesaw. The
department of concessions OF the Omaha
trans-Mississip.i exposition of 1898 has
also received application for space for
the erection of a novel mechanical de-
vice. 1t resembles the framework of a
gigantic umbrella more than anything
else which might be mentioned. The
part corresponding to the stick of the
umbrella in an immense cylinder. 30
feet in diameter, constructed of steel
plates firmly riveted making a stand
pipe which rears it's head $50 feet above
the level of the ground. At the extreme
top of this cylinder are fastened 12
long arms, resembling the ribs of an
umbrella. These are steel trusses,
reaching almost to the ground. At the
lower end of each of these ribs is sus-
pended car for carrying passengers,
each car having capacity for 20 per-
sons. o.
These monster ribs are raised by hy-
draulic power, acting by means of
steel cables operating through the cyl
inder, aided by mechanism greatly
resembling that portion Of an umbrella
which comes into action when the UNI
brella is opened. By means of this
mechanism the gigantic arms are raised
until they are horizontal, the cars in
the meanwhile being carried outward
and upward until they reach point
$50 feet above the ground. The dame
ter of the huge circle formed by the
suspended cars is also $50 feet When
the highest point has been reached
another mechanism comes into play
and the suspended cars are swung
slowly around in a circle, after which
they are lowered to the ground. The
sides of the cars are of glass, so that
the passengers may secure an extern
sive view of the surrounding country.

Before the introduction of vacclna-
ton, now admirably supplemented by
isolation, smallpox was never localized,
and it was always with US. No one was
safe from it, and there was a German
proyerb to the effect that love and small
box were the two things from which no
one could hope to escape. trust
worthy estimates fix the annual death
rate from smallpox in England during
the latter part of the eigh-
teenth century at the proper
ton of 5000 to every 100000 persons
living, which would mean, with our
present population, death rate from
this cause alone approaching 100000 a
wear. Even if this estimate is much
too large, there can be no question as to
the enormous difference between then
and now. 1t is going too far to say
with Mr.. Hutton that smallpox, in
spite of all the fuss made about it, is
pretty nearly as extinctas the plague, y
for though preventive measures keep it
within AN extremely narrow compass,
we have seen how readily it may revive.
In the year 1890 there were only 16
deaths from this disease registered in
the whole of England. = Westminster
