SO far as to build special tank for their
accommodation. But these captured
specimens either die en- route, or q SNORT

death. Around the numerous volcahio 10
lands of the Malayan Archipelago un Is
reptiles are particularly numerous. pre-
quent eruptions occur among these Is
lands, which are hardly more unan

of an eruption the few people reslol1g

frying pan into the fire, however. Az
such times the sea becomes uncomfortaDly
warm from its close proximity to the
burning mountain and the sea snakes
swim wildly about for escape. They en-
deayor to climb oversthe gunwales OF the
refugees boats, while they Irvine their
bodies III great masses about the forward
chains.
When about to lay their eggs, these SER
pents approach the shore The eggs are
laid above high water mark, and left
to hatch by the heat of the sun. Many
creatures prey upon the young reptiles.
Among their enemies are sharks, and
other large fishes, while the adults, in
spite of their death dealing fangs, fall
victims to sea eagles and large gulls.
After the great typhoons, which are
common in the Philippines and their
vicinity, many of these creatures may be
found along the beach, where they have
been cast up during the storm and killed
by the violent pounding of the waves.
The gigantic sea serpents, SO often OBJ
served by Incorporate captains of small
sailing vessels have no relation to these
creatures. One of the sea monsters"

THE M AlNE TROOPS.
A Rifle Range at Chicfamauga-second
Regiment Headquarters.

Colonel Morton was in the hills four
miles north OF Chickamauga Park, at the
time of the writing, on detached duty,
the first that he has had since arriving at
the park.
He was instructed by General Mattocks
to take detail of men, and go to the
place specified, where he would establish
rifle range for the use of the brigade
He was also instructed to remain at the
place, and have in command the rifle
practice which would be done as he saw
fit. He established his headquarters in
an abandoned farmhouse, and the prac-
tics was progressing finely at the time
Of his writing, 400 men having arrived the
day before to practice. Each man is al
lowed ten rounds of ammunition, which
though small amount, is better than
nothing.
Colonel Morton is most anxious to get
to the front, and he has sent appealing
letters to all the powers that he, to use
their influence to get chance for the
Maine regiment to distinguish itself, or
at least chance where they can see a
little service.
He writes that the people are more than
kind to the sick of the regiment, but not
thought is given toward the disposal OF
those who are well, and not a response
can be awakened from those in command
to the appeals for service. -

That the ultimate result of the negotia-
tions begun between the United States
and Spain will be treaty of peace along
the lines laid down by the United States
hardly admits of doubt. 1t is not i'm
probable that the terms may arouse some
violent opposition among the Spanish
people at first, but the utter hopelessness
of continuing the contest will force them
sooner or later to accept. They will see
when their indignation has spent itself,
and reason resumes sway, that Spain has
everything TO lose and nothing what
ever to gain by continuing the war. She
can sacrifice thousands of the lives of
her own soldiers, but her complete defeat
in the END is inevitable, and the more
sacrifices she compels us to make the
more she will have to give in way Of rec
ompense. She can make peace now with
the loss of only part of her colonies and
without money indemnity. If she COM
pels us to drive out by force all her troops
in Cuba she can get peace then
only by surrendering all her colonies and
paying a money indemnity in addition.
The longer she delays the heavier the price
she will have to Jay for peace.

Bismarck lived to see German unity &C
complished and the German empire the
equal of any military power in Europe
He lived too to see the power which he
had done SO much to strengthen and con-
solidate turn to him the cold shoulder.
His instincts were all despotic. He had
little faith in the people Self gov ern
ment was abhorrent to him. He believed in
strong centralized government, which
the people should have little to do with
except in the way Of obedience. In his
line of craftsmanship he was master.
the greatest master of modern times.
Whether his policy tended to tpromote the
true progress of the German people may
be questioned, but that it made the
nation one of the strongest from m ILL.,
tary point of view in Europe there is no
doubt. From the standpoint of the pur-
pose with which he started out his sue
cess was colossal and complete.

Gen. Miles's invasion of Porto Rico has
SO far embled more holiday parade
than a hostile movement. The people
have hailed him with joy and enthusi-
asm. At San Juan he may be destined
to encounter some opposition, though 1t
Is by no means improbable that the Span
ish commander will see the futility of re-
sistance and humanely conclude to save
the lives of his soldiers. Porto Rico has
been perhaps the best governed of Spain s
possessions, but nevertheless the people
appear to be overjoyed at the prospect of
getting rid of Spanish sovereignty.
