A growing thought with bacteri-

life are dependent as much on bacterial
action as those which seem to have a
deleterious effect. The sugar of the

SNAKE PILOT.
Glides Ahead of the Rather to Warn II
of Danger.


of Danger.
The rattlesnake has a pilot. The
purpose of this pilot has never been
satisfactorily explained, but it undoubt-
eddy serves to protect him in some way.
1t is well known, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, that the rattlesnake is slug
gish reptile, slow Of movement and
short-sighted.
He can strike only to the distance Of
his own length, and is not of the con-
strictor species, fighting with his fangs.
He is not, therefore, dangerous, and
can be easily whipped by a blacksnake,
or any of the constructor family. Even
adog can get the mastery over a rattle
snake without much danger of being
injured.
The pilot appears like rattlesnake,
except that he has no rattle, and is
somewhat darker in color. He is also
of much quicker movement, and when
other reptiles or animals appear that
possibly might prove dangerous to the
rattler, the pilot, which is not so near
sighted, conducts the latter away to q
place of safety.
Singularly, the pilot has received but
scant attention, except among the ma
tive people of the district where it is
found, and but little is known about
him. The only species of rattlesnake
having the pilot for a guide is that
found in the mountains, the prairie rat.

COLI IN THE RIVERS.
Europe's Streams Are Filled with Pre-
cious Metal.

Europes streams Arc ftlIed with Pro-
oious Metal.
In the River Seine a small quantity
of gold exists in a state of division so
fine as TO be invisible to the unaided eye,
and it is said that when the sand of the
river near Paris is used in making glass.
the crucibles in which it is melted are
frequently found to be gilded over at
the bottom. In former times, in fact,
says the New York Sun, a sort of mining
was in vogue on the Seine at Paris, car
ried on by men who would buy francs
worth of quicksilver, and, after passing
the sand of the river over it all day,
would sell it in the evening for six or
seven francs-a kind of work which,
however, for some reason was discon-
tinued. Almost all the rivers of Europe
carry small quantities of gold in their
sands, such as the Rhine, the Seine,
the Aar, the Reuse, the Danube and 9TH
ers; also the Clyde and many other
streams in Scotland, Ireland. Wales and
Cornwall; and, though one ton of sand
from the bed of the Rhine. for instance,
yields only 9R grains of gold, or one
fifth of an ounce, yet the total amount
OF the yellow metal in that one river
is believed to be immense. 1t has been
found, indeed. by careful scientific ex-
animation and calculation, that that
flows through what was formerly a
portion of French territory contains no
less than 10000 tons of pure gold.

THE COWBOYS DAY Is OVER.
He IL No Longer In Evidence Out In the
Far Weat.

MI WV"
The cowboy, like the buffalo, is fast
becoming extinct, says Lippincott's
Magazine. In the dawn of the new CEN
fury now approaching he will be re-
garded as curiosity. Then years
hence he will have attained the dignity
of tradition. History, which embalms
the man in armor and exalts the pio-
neer, holds place for him. The niche
may be modest one, but he has his
part in conquering a new country and
no impartial record Of western evolu-
ton can omit his picturesque figure.
Before civilization devours his dignity,
let us try to detain it a moment in its
real likeness and garb.
Dwellers in the long commu-
mites scarcely realize how great a
change has come over the far west
during the last decade. Ranches there
will always be-ranches for grain, hay,
fruit and blooded live sock but not
for the rearing of range cattle. Yet
the time is in easy memory when there
was a craze over the cattle business;
when the cowboy was king at Dodge
City; when hundreds of educated young
men went west to share the hardships
of herders. To-day the cattle ra.b hes
are deserted or mortgaged or turned
into farms A more advanced intelli-
gence has penetrated the possibilities
of irrigation and water is retaining
the wilderness once given over to the
long-horn steer.
The decline of the range cattle indus
try has been as amazing and rapid as
was its rise. The business is not simply
suffering from stagnation; it has almost
ceased to exist Early in the sos a
beef steer running on the range repre-
sented forty dollars; one-fourth that
sum would pay for him now. Thirty
dollars was the average for COW with
a calf at her side; now whole herds are
disposed of for six dollars head.

HIGH BUILDINGS.
One Was Planned by Student Thirty
Years Ago.


An old graduate of the Troy Poly
technic institute was looking at the
high Neave building n few days ago,
reports the Cincinnati Commercial Tri-
bune, and said:
THAT high building makes me think
of graduate of my class who was a
marvel. We thought he was crazy. and
his mysterious end only deepens the
conviction that our surmise was cor
rect. He was everlastingly speculat-
ing upon the seemingly improbable.
At one time he said that the day would
come when they would build houses
100 stories high, and to show how it
would be done he made a drawing of a
bridge, as we called it. standing on end.
Then he said all you have to do to finish
the thing is to cut stones to fill the
spaces, put in the joists and I'll fl ~ !. and
there you are. And that was more than
30 years ago, before the high buildings
had been thought of by any architect.
And the plans of the present are prac-
tically the same as proposed by Fay
when he was but boy. He graduated,
and was looked upon as the brightest
man of the class, though everyone
thought him peculiar. He went to the

THIRTY DOLLARS A SEAT.
What sedate PhilsdeIphians Paid to See
Their Actors Play.


Playgoers growl at the price OF seats
in the theater to-day, but let them read
what was charged in Philadelphia at
one time, as told in the interesting new
volume of stage Renaissance, "Shake-
speare's Heroines on the Stage" and
then rest content. The story is told in
these words in the book:
Sin 1869, at Annapolis, The Mer-
chant of Venice was produced by the
New American company, with Mrs. Os-
borne, the heavy tragedy actress, as
the heroine. The curtain rang up at
six p. m. in the new playhouse. Cen
tlemen who desired to pay out five
shillings sat, perforce, in the pit or
upper boxes; those who could afford
seven shillings sixpence chose the more
fashionable lower boxes. Some of
the cheaper seats were not easy of
access, if we may judge by this adver
tisement in the paper of the day: Up
per boxes are now preparing, the pas
sage to which must be from the stage;
it is, therefore, hoped such gentlemen
and ladies as choose to fix on these
seats will come before the play begins,
as it is not possible they can be adj
mitted after the cnrtain is drawn up
AS for the cost of going to the thcatcr
in the New York playhouse at this time,
that ran lower; gallery seats there sold
for two shillings each, pit seats for
four shillings, and the boxes, of which
there were ten, for five shillings. These
prices, however, We're apparently very
moderate whether they were in New
York shillings or sterling shillings)
compared with the prices at the phila-
delphia theatcr in 1850, when fifteen
dollars was charged for the admission
