Death on Either Side.

Patrick L. Fennel, who recently left
his home in Montgomery, Penn, to
work in Susquehanna County, has had
thrilling adventure. Fennel, who is
an engineer, went up into the lumber
woods of SusquehGnna County to run
an engine in sawmill. When he ar,
rived in camp he found that the saw.
mill had been in disuse about ten
years. Among the machinery left in
the old mill were boiler and station.
ary engine. They were IN bad shape,
but Fennel got them ready for busi-
ness.
The other day Fennel fired up to
test the boiler aud engine, and then
went away to another part of the MILL
He was delayed some, and returned to
find the boiler was generating steam
with startling rGpidity. He rushed
into the boiler house, the door, closing
after him with bang. The door fas-
tened on the outside with hasp and
drop hook, aud the jar caused the
the hook to drop into the staple, max
ing Fennel u prisoner. Although
tested to only 100 pounds. the steam
gauge showed the boiler had already
generated ITO pounds, and the quiver-
ing hand on the steam gauge was
mounting higher and higher. That
the boiler was liable to explode ut any
moment Fennel we'll knew. He
glanced at the safety valve and was
startled to see that it had become
fastened in some manner and refused
to work.
He WAS about to climb up to loosen
the refractory safety gauge when his
eyes beheld sight from which he
drew back. Around the safety valve,
just where he was about to grasp it
with his hand, was colled q big rattle
snake, while two other reptiles of the
same species lay on the floor of the
boiler house. They had evidently
been drawn from their hiding places
in The wall or floor of the old boiler
house by tho heat.
The quivering hand of the steam
gauge told Fennel only too plainly
that the pressure on the boiler was
becoming terrific. But he could not
pass the serpents and reach the boiler,
neither could he get out of the door.
The only means of exit was a small
window, and to reach this he would
have to pass the snakes. Near by
stood an iron bar used in clearing out
the fire, and grasping this he crushed
the head OF the serpent nearest him.
The other snake coiled about his leg
and struck vlciously, fastening its
fangs into his rubber boot. A blow
with the bar crushed the snake ON the
safety gauge, and then came struggle
to remove the one around his leg.
Quick as flash he snapped the snake
in two, and then, with the iron bar
knocked off the safety valve.

that Hawaii may become a part of this

going to be a state, but whether it will
be at the time of its annexation or later
remains to be seen. Should it be an

DIR. JACkSON'S OPINION.

The Reindeer the Only Solution of the
Transportation Problem in Alaska.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 21.-Dr. Shell.
don Jackson, United States superintend-
ent of Alaskan schools, who has just
returned from Alaska, says: There is
but one solution to the transportation
problem in Alaska and that is the rein
deer. I believe that the mines Of the
Yukon can never be fully developed
without the use of the reindeer. 1t is
my belief that the government could to
great advantage to the people living in
Alaska establish reindeer stations on
the Yukon all the way from Dyea to
St. Michaels. In this way mails could
be transported regularly and expedi-
tiously and the food supply would never
be allowed to get to that point where a
famine is imminent.
