Snakes Never Close Their Eyes

One of the most curious facts with regard
to snakes is that their eyes are never closed
Sleeping or waking, alive or dead, they are
always wide open. This is because there
are no eyelids. The eye is protected only
by strong scale, which forms part of the
epidermal envelope, and is cast off in piece
with that every time the animal molts. This
eyeplate is as clear and transparent as glass,
and allows the most perfect vision, while at
the same time it is so hard and tough as to
perfectly protect the delicate organ within
from the thorns and twigs among which, in
flight from enemies or in pursuit Of prey, the
reptile so often hurriedly glides, as any close
observer of the habits of the snake can
readily discover.-Saturday Post.

POLITICAL NOTES
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The Republicans are, holding few frosty
| meetings throughout, the county. Small at
tendance, cold feet and lack of enthusiasm
are the predominating features Of these
| railroad love feasts. In order to stir ur
noise and make peacock show the Amer
icus club of Pasadena is being railroaded
| from town to town to awe the natives. II
+ is reported that the Republican orators have
had so many chilly receptions that they re
fused to speak in defense Of the cold d-heartcd
| railroad unless they were assured they would
be applauded at pr )per intervals.
| Federal office holders are being held ur
| by the Republican state committee. \ let
| ter has been sent to each one soliciting tinan
cial assistance. This is Mark Hanna idea
of civil service. 1t shows, however, that il
railroad campaign, especially where so many
noted Republican orators who are fond OF
large salaries are on the stump.
Speaking of campaign orators brings to
mind that Judge Carpenter has been stump
ing the state. Carpenter claims his residence
in Los Angeles county. He lives. we he
years ago he followed the profession of he
law in this city. Later on he was elected
to the state legislature from this county
where he earned for himself the reputation
of being corporation tool. While in this
city he was the paid attorney of the Western
Union Telegraph company and other cor.
porations. In the legislature he attracted
the attention of the railroad people and, sin
gular as it may seem, soon gor into their good
graces and became their sponsor on the
floor. Since his retirement The was not re-
elected for some reason OF other) he has
been the firm friend Of the railroad and a
member Of the third house.
Judge Carpenter is one of the latest South
ern Pacific railroad attorneys to take the
stump for Mr.. Gage and the railroad ticket.
1t was quite necessary, however, that he
should taxi the stump. Having no means
of answering the arguments Of the speakers
of the allied parties and not daring to dis
cuss the issues of the campaign, the railroad
people have resorted to the antics of the
schoolboy who makes faces and calls ma mes
because he has not better argument, and no
one is better qualified by experience to i'm
itata the boy than Judge Carpenter.
The active and aggressive campaign that
is making in this county by the union
forces has already brought fruit and insured
victory for the union ticket.
From the start of the campaign the union
forces have waged an honorable and an open
battle. They have used arguments instead of
ridicule and slander to convince the voters
make clean sweep of the Republican Off
cials at the court house, and to install in
their places new but tried men and to inauR-
urate reform methods.
On the other hand, the Republican man.
agement has resorted to the old trick of
evading discussion of the real issues of
the campaign, and has attempted to divert
the attention of the voters from the court
house scandals and the Republican rings, by
