Why the name sarcophagus Is ap-
piled 20 stone conins Is not generally
known. but originally the stone oofhns
were made from species Of limestone
which. Il Is said, had the power Of de-
stroying the entire body, excepting tho
teeth. In a very short time, and as tho
word "saroophagus" means feeding on
flesh. the name was given to these
cofiins. which seemed to literally cat

One interesting effect OF the bounty
system Is 10 encourage the breeding
OF the animals outlawed. Il Il said
that In India many natives are regu-
larry engaged In the business OF propa.
eating snakes for the sake OF the pre-.
mlums offered by the government for
yenomous serpents. There Is no doubt
that the same thing has been done In
this country with various animals for
which bounties were granted. For ex.
ample. the eggs Of hawks aud owls
have been taken from the nests and
hatched under hens. In Iowa a few
years ago q was said 20 be more prof.
