The county commissioners met in
| regular session last week to close rp
the years business. The usual bills
were approved, also bonds for newly
elected officers. James Fletcher, ] e
Crow and j. @. Marshall were ap-
pointed as viewers on vacating pOr
ton of the old Sun City trail. The
petition to vacate this trail was legal
in every way, so the commissioners
ordered it viewed Notwithstanding the
remonstrance which had been filed. If
the viewers report favors the closing
Of the trail, those opposed can come
before the commissioners at the prop
er time and make their objectio on.

We wish in this issue of the Graphic
to show E. A. Noble up in his true
Hght in this community. He knows
the active interest the average kinsley
tie takes in the affairs of his neigh
bors, and how hard it is for the news
papers to invent local news to satisfy
this curiosity and furnish gossip for
the Woman's Club, and the Ladies
Tea Parties. Notwithstanding the re-
sponsibilities OF the newspapers in
these matters, he deliberately and
with malice aforethOught, (for it is
said he took a satchel), committed the
heinous crime of slipping up to the
Santa Fe train one night after dark
and going to Denver. without saying
a word to the Graphic reporter. He
staid three Or four days up there, and
when it was found out on him, said he
went to hear the Yale Glee Club, of
which his nephew Ed Noble Jr., is a
member, and that he had q pleasant
time, attending two concerts given by
the club. OF course this may be true,
but we feel that a man who will go off
on lark without consulting his
friends must have a very uneasy con-
science over something and will bear
watching.

A Burklar's Mistake,

"When Hooked into the dining room
Of a house that I was in one night"
said tho retired burglar, II saw a man
sitting in a chair perohed upon the din
ing room table. That seemed q angular
place for q man to get to cit, drunk or
sober, but I thought I'd have to give
him q chance to get tired Of sitting
there and go to bed before I began, for
IL I didn't he might wake up any min
ute and interrupt things. So I took q
seat in a big leather chair in the library,
next room, and waited for him to wake
up. When I'd waited what I thought
was q reasonable timo without hearing
from him, I looked in t.gain, and there
he was. still sitting there, just the same.
"But this time, even in that light,
there was something peculiar about him,
and I ventured to turn my own light on.
him now, and then I saw that it wasn't
q man Mt all, but q suit of clothes, with
q hat on top. set up there to dry after
being wet in the rain. The man that
had worn them had been abed and asleep
for hours, but his clothes had served for
a scarecrow mighty we'll, for I'd sat
there waiting for them to go to bed 60
long that 1t was now too late for bust
ness. New York Sun.

cious bunch Of plantains which the
monkey craved. civil gladly give You

viding you catch a fawn for me. "
agreed" cried the monkey. "But,"
added tho jaguar, "if you don't get the
fawn you must promise to let me bite q
mouthful out Of you" agreed" once
more cried the gleeful monkey. The
monkey ate the plantains, and the little
matter about tho fawn quite slipped his
memory.
Then day the jaguar met the
monkey and insisted on taking his pay
out Of the monkey hide. The business,
becoming serious, was left to the pee
carl to decide. "It seems all right
enough" said the pcocari, "only this:
How am I to determine what is the ex-
act size of a jaguar's mouthful and also
where is he to bite? He had better refer
tho matter to tho big snake" The big
enake took the subject under considera-
ton. His Judgment was that he would
have to swallow the jaguar, the monkey
and the peooari. The. jaguar and peccari
he did at onoe assimilate. but tho mon
key, being nimble, escaped.

When it wal time to call for the reck-
oning William Scott dropped a guinea.
He and his brother searched for it in

had fallen between the boards Of the

Fish In Ieebouna waters.

Fish do hot breathe air, but the life
supporting constituent Of air-oxygen
gas-which is soluble in water to tho
extent of three volumes in 100 at ordi-
nary temperatures and four in 100 at
freezing point.
The water containing the dissolved
oxygen is made to pass over the gills,
where it is separated from the blood
only by avery thin membrane. through
which the gas is able to pass.
Fish in icebound rivers have to de-
pend entirely,upon this store of oxygen
for their respiration, and if it becomes
exhausted they are s%uffocated, just as
VIC should be il deprived of oxygen.
1t rarely happens, however, that any
considerable area Of water is entirely
covered with ice, especially in the case
Of rivers. Holes and cracks are almost
sure to occur here ard there, by which
the oxygen Of the air can reach the wa
ter and become dissolved in it. During

The Poison MaeAinsry 81 the Rep
tiles ana Hew It 10 Operated.
Some years ago aphysioian undertook
. series Of experiments ON snakes with
. view to extracting a sufficient amount
Of their venom to form a basis for in.
vestigation, in order. il possible, to dis.
cover some antidote. His laboratory il
. curious and somewhat uncanny place
and one from which those with un-
steady nerve instinctively recoil.
The apparatus for extracting the
venom is q most ingenious and yet a
very simply one. A bit Of channels is
tied owe the top Of q funnel which
leads to a bottle. Everything is secured
very firmly. The snake is caught by the
back Of the neck and placed close ia
this channels. He strikes his fangs
through it, when tiny jets Of venom are
thrown from the fangs upon the glass
sides Of the bottle, trickling thence into
the bottle. Again and again the snake
IL made to strike. II necessary, other
snakes Of the same species are used un.
til a sufficient amount Of the venom IL
collected.
The relative deadly qualities Of the
venom Of snakes have also been the sub.
ject of experiments. It appears that the
diamond back rattlesnake is the most
to be dreaded. The next In order is the
banded rattlesnake, followed by the
oopperhead and the water moccasin OF
cottonmouth.
The poison machinery Of the snake
consists Of .. pair Of needle pointed
fangs, which, when the creature is al
rest, are folded back in the roof Of the
mouth. When it becomes angry, these
fangs are thrown forward, and in the
act of striking a tiny jet Of poison IL
thrown from each. The poison Is thin,
yellow fluid which upon exposure de.
oomposes very rapidly. Snake poison,
il kept from the air or dried, retains itt
full force for many years.-New Yorl
