JEFF THARP ON TRIAL.

He Is Charged With Seducton-Several
Witnesses Examined.
The case Of State Of Oregon VS.. JEFF
Tharp, Of StaytOn, charged with
seduction under promise Of marriage,
Garry Higgins, being prosecuting wit
ness, was called for trial before Justice
IL. A. Johnson, at O'Clock
this afternoon. With the exception
OF the witnesses, lawyers and re-
porters, all persons were excluded
from the court room.
Defendant was represented by p. IL.
D'ATcy while District Attorney S. l..
Hayden, assisted by Bowerman &
McCourt who have been retained as
counsel by the complaining witness,
appeared for the state.
Miss Higgins, who is still in poor
health, appeared ia court heavily
yeiled. She seemed quite reticent
about giving the details Of the crime
with which she accused Tharp ia the
complaint, but stated she had had IL
licit intercourse with Tharp several
times and that he repeatedly prom
ised 70 marry and protect her.
DR.. j. u, Shaw, who attended the
girl during time she was 10 the hos.
pital, gave testimony, as also did Fred
Higgins, the girls brother. AT this
point the state rested its case.
Attorney Darcy, counsel for the
defendant, made motion, be-
fore introducing a1y testimony,
that the case be dismissed on the
grounds that the testimony introduced
was not sufficient 70 constitute a
cause OF action. The motion was
argued and on motion OF District At
torney Hayden, the case was dis
missed aud the defendant discharged.

Some Ancient distances of Insurance
Can he Easily Found.
Probably the first recorded instance
OF insurance was one mentioned by
Livy. During the second Punio war the
contractors for delivering corn into
Spain stipulated that the government
should indemnify them against loss by
the enemy or tempest Cicero, too, aft
or his victory in Cilioia, seems to have
obtained security against the loss Of his
booty during its transit to Rome, These
instances, however, are not regarded az
true cases Of insurance by many author
titles, who assert that only after the re-
vival OF commerce in the tenth century
did 1t come into vogue. II this be so.
the first mention Of insurance is the
establishment in 1910 at Bruges at the
request Of the inhabitants of q chamber
Of assurance.
"The contract Of reciprocal insurance.
was known likewise in Portugal ID the
fourteenth century, and IN the fifteenth
(Sept. 10, 1856 King Edward.m Por-
tugA writes from Lisbon that. the mer-
chant vessels Of the English, which, had;
been chartered for the Tangim expedi-'

the fault Of their p%roprietors; while
those Of the Portuguese even Of the
royal navy, were" Il is probable, how

vENoMoUs SNAKES.

The Poison Machinery of the Rep
tiles and How II IL Operated.
Some years ago physician undertook
q series OF experiments on snakes with
q view toextraoting a sufficient amount
of their venom to form a basis for in
vestigation, in order. il possible, to dis
cover some antidote. His laboratory is
a curious and somewhat uncanny place
and n from which those with I'M
steady nerves instinctively recoil.
The apparatus for. extracting the
venom ia a most ingenious and yet q
very simply mi "A bit Of ohamois is
tied over the top of a funnel which
leads to a bottle. Everything is secured
very firmly. The snake is caught by the
back Of the neck and placed close to
this channels. He strikes hi 1angs
through it, when tiny Jets of venom are
thrown from the fangs upon the glass
sides of the bottle, tricking thence into
the bottle. Again and again the snake
is made to strike. II necessary, other
snakes of the same species = used IN
til a sufficient amount of the venom is
collected.
The relative deadly qualities OF the
venom Of snakes have also been the sub
ject of experiments. It appears that the
diamond back irattlesnake is the most
to be dreaded The next in order is the
banded rattlesnake, followed by the
copperhead and the water moocasinio or
cottonmouth.
The poison machinery Of the make
consists Of a pair. of needle pointed
fanga which, when the creature is at
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 is
thrown from each. The poison lisa thin,
yellow fluid which upon exposure de-
oomposes very rapidly. Snake poison,
II kept from the air Of. dried, retains it's
full force for many years.-New York

PACE 81 the bore, directly over the seat
3pf the gss~projectile. This scoring begins
verysaarly in the life Of a very large
gun, but IL IL conceded that it does not
become very important until the piece
has eendischarged considerably. Lieu.
tenant Farrow describes this scoring az
resembling the bark Of an aged elm tree,
the metal being eaten away into irregu-
liar burrows and ridges. In extreme
acases, however, scoring has mot killed
the gun, although in some cases it has
lacted like a wedge and split the bore at
The place attacked.
Il Where the action Of the p~rojectile has
ruined the gun the damage has been
done around the p~rojectile and in front
tof 1t. The elasticity Of the metal and
% orowding up Of portions Of 1t in
1SonA OF the shot cause q rebounding
pI,cesa. The projectile. carried forward
by the force Of the charge, strikes
against the upper part of the bore; then
it is sent against the bottom and again
bounds to the top, and 60 on until it
emerges from the piece. The effect Of
this bounding motion is to raise and de-
press the gun in its trunnion holes. The
accuracy Of fire is diminished, and, Of
course, the gun is unfit for service.
Bronze guns are the worst sufferers in
this way. Mortars-short and dumpy-
are not affected.

adding to its length. Projectile injury
is also caused by burrows OF scratches
made by rough shells or case shot.
Small fragments, too, break away very
often from the shells and give the bore
q grinding and cutting process, produc.
tive of great damage.
Enlargement Of the muzzle is another
serious injury produced by the projec-
tile. This is caused by a process which
seems unavoidable. AS the shell leaves
the piece 1t strikes against one portion
of the bore. The resistance at the mouth
being less than at any other point, the

Made From the stoutcst of Leather.
A Word About Hand Holds.
The reins Of a set of single harness
are each about IS feet in length, those
Of q double harness about 10 feet. For
businessN harness reins are made Of
leather, tanned black; the reins Of car
riage harness are made Of russell colored
leather.
Reins require to be very stout, and
they are almost always made Of steer
hide, the leather of which traces are
made, these, however, being Of more
than one. thickness. Occasionally lines
for light or for cheap harness are made
Of cowhide, but not often. AS a rule the
best of leather is used for the reins,
even in cheap harness. There can be OBJ.
tanned from the hides Of leather suitable
for reins strips Srom even to nine feet
in length, SO that reins are always Of
necessity made in two pieces.
The loops, OF hand holds, often seen
on the reins Of track or road horses are
commonly made Of lighter leather
stitched together and then sometimes
stitched to the reins, but more often Sc
cured to them in such a manner that
they can be shifted on the reins to suit
the convenience Of the driver. The
three loop hold, which is called the
Boston hand hold, is commonly used for
track driving. The single loop is the
n used by most drivers on the road.
There : patent hand holds made Of
metal. The wooden buttons sometimes
seen on reins, used as hand holds, are
made in pairs, n button Of each pair
having q stem, with a thread cut on it,
which goes through the rein and is
screwed into the other button of the
pair on the opposite side.-New York

Sowing Pan.y Seed.

During early October is a good time
for sowing pansy seed for next springs
supply Of plants for bedding out. The
reason for fall sowing out of doors is
that the plants are not then subjected
to the hot, drying influences Of the
house, which are so likely to bring on
red spider and other troubles.
Prepare a bed Of very rich, porous
loan on a we'll drained location. Place
over it a frame to be filled with forest
leaves a a protection to the little plants
over winter. After sowing the seed in
the bed sift a very light covering Of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them. During the process Of germina-
ton never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect germina-
ton of any seed.
As severe weather approaches cover
the bed with a few inches Of litter Of
some eort, forest leaves being preferable.
At the proper time in the spring the
seedlings may be pricked out Of the soil
In the seedbed and transferred to the
bed in which they are to bloom.-Wom.
