SNAKE IN A LUMP OF COAL.
Fireman at Livermore, CAL, Makes III
Astounding Discovery In Hia Fuel

Fireman at Livermore, CAL, Makes An
Astounding Discovery In His Fuel.
Peter Isabella, fireman at the water
works; at Livermore. Cal. while trying
to shovel lump of coal into the fur
mace made an astounding discovery. The
piece he desired TO place in the furnace
was by the side of IL larger piece He
tried to pick up the smaller lump ON his
shovel. He succeeded in getting the
lump on the shovel several times. but
every time that he cndeavorcd to toss
the lump toward the furnace door it
would roll off of the shovel and back to
its original position. just as if there was
a string tied to it.
forts to get the coal into the furnace.
but each time it seemed to snap back
to it's original position. At last the
man became frightened and came to the
conclusion that the coal was beWitched.
Then he cooled down and began sys-
tcmatic and eminently practical investi-
CATION.
He began working ut the lump of Goa
with crowbar. The crowbar settled
the lump of coal and the creature that
Inhabited it i'll very short time.
There was found imbedded in the,
larger lump of coal snake The reptile
had coilcd its tail around the smaller
lump and that is what had prevented
Isabella from getting the small lump
away from the larger one.
The snake was alive when taken out,
but lived only ii short time after being
exposed to the air. This fact makes
those who inspected the curiosity hold to
the belief that the reptile had been i'm
beddel in the coal in the mine The
hole i'm which If was fOlnd was foo
small ut the opening to have allowed Il
snake of the size of the one discovered
to have crawlcd in from the outside.
The men made careful measurements to
satisfy themselves upon this. and all
who saw it came to the conclusion that
the reptile had been in the coal when it
WAS mined.

In Il recent number correspondent
asks advice us to preparation of land for
winter wheat. You advise him to roll
after sowing in a dry time. believe
that is mistake under any conditions.
says Il correspondent to Coleman's Rural
World. The drill leaves u ridge of loose
earth, which protects the wheat i'll VIM
ter, and gradually mclts down and slls-
tains the plant. If rolled down solid the
ground becomes hard, the snow blows off,
and l think it is much more liable to
winter kill. The true preparation is to
have the ground solid. with good seed
bed on top III order to have this, plow
ing must be done early. and the land
thoroughly worked just before sowing,
With a disc harrow or some similar tool.
In Il regular rotation of corn, wheat and
clover, changing from corn to wheat is a
troublesome problem. The usual method
is to cut up the corn or SOW oats. Sowing
wheat on corn land is laborious, expensive,
and usually results in half crop of sec
ond-rate wheat. Wheat after oats usual
ly does well. but the oat crop here is UNI
certain and hard to save. l have decided
to try plan next year which some good
farmers would probably criticise and call
a waste of time. l have twelve acres in
corn this year, which vi sh to change
to wheat Instead of sowing to oats, it
will be allow cd to lie idle. and grow up
in weeds. until the latter part of July,
when the heavy growth, which this land
always produces, will be plowed under.
The land can then be thoroughly worked.
and the wheat sown early in the best of
condition. Such prepare ton should pro-
Iucc twice us much wheat per acre, with
less labor than if sown OIL corn land, and
the land will be in better condition. You
will observe that there are. several con-
ditions which make a good wheat crop
reasonably certain. The land will have a
brief rest. the heavy growth of weeds
will be plowed unler-almost equaling a
crop of clover. and most important of all,
the blowing will be done early.

Uses of Olive Oil,

Olive oil is now used in many ways at
one time never thought of. Besides be-
ing more largely used incidentally, it ell
ters into various processes of cooking
much moro extensively than it did.
1t is we'll known that good, eggs fried
in olive oil are much better Favored than
when any other Kind of fat has been
used.
In massage, bathing. and for numerous
other purposes, the use of this most nat
ural, valuable food is greatly extending.
The value of good olive oil is beginning
to be more generally recogniz ed through
out the world than it formerly was. En-
inent authorities have experimental with
it. and found it potent agent for any
defects of the excretory ducts, especially
the skin. Eczema has rapidly disap-
peared upon a discontinuance of starch
