TO be dreaded. The next in order is the
banded r~attlesnake, followed by the
~copperhead and the water moccasin or
cottonmouth.
The poison machinery of the snake
consists of a pair Of needle pointed
fangs. 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 is a thin,
yellow fluid which upon exposure de-
composes very rapidly. Snake poison,
II kept from the air or dried, retains its
full force for many years.-New York

SAD FATE.
"A Presentfment of His Death That
was Strangely Fulfilled.


D~elaunay, the director OF the Paris
observatory, was one of the most kindly
and attractive men l ever met. a
Professor Simon Newcomb in The At.
lantic. found it hopeless to expect
that he would ever visit America, be.
cause he assured me that he did not
dare TO venture on the ocean. The only
voyage he mad ever made was across the
channel to receive q gold medal of the
Royal Astronomical society for his
work.
Two of his relatives, his father. and.
l believe, his brother, had been drown.
ed, and this fact gave him a horror of
the water. He seemed TO feel somewhat
as the clients Of the astrologists. who.
having been told how they were to die.
tool every %precaution TO prevent it. I
remember, as a boy, reading a history of
astrology, in which a great many cases
OF this sort were described, the pecu.
linrity being that the very measures
which the victim took 20 avoid the de-
cree OF fate became the engines that ex.
ecuted it.
The sad fate of Delaunay was not ex.
actly a case of this kind, vet it cou,d
not but bring it TO mind. He was at
O~herbourg in the autumn of 1872.
Walking on the shore with a relative,
a couple of boatmen invited them 10
take n sail. Through what inducements
Deiaunay was led to forget his fears
Will never be known. All we know 10
that he ventured into the boat. that il
was struck by q sudden squaIl when at
some distance from the land, and that
all tie members of the party were
drowned.

Can BE Easily FOUND.
Probably the first recorded instance
OF Insurance was one mentioned by
Llvy. During the second Punic 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.
er his victory in Cilicia, seems TO have
obtained security against the loss of his
booty during its transit to Rome. These
instances, however, are not regarded rs
tue cases OF insurance by many author

CHINESE COURT HISTORIANS
They May write tae Truth. For Their

There are court historians ia China.
as there are in other countries, but
there is i striking difference. and II
lies In the fact that the work of the
Chinese court historians does not see
the light unsil the ~relgning dynasty
ome 10 M end.
Il this way these Celestial historians
have in opportunity 10 describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
yalorous rulers and the real signit-
c2nce OF the vents which take place
during their regime. They can write
what they please without fear Of cen
sure, for they know that their work
will not be published rs loEs as The
reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years. TIE first court historian
having been appointed by the lmpe-
rial house OF Han, which reigned from
206 b. c. until % a. u.
The duty OF these historians is to
write plain accounts of all the events
that occur during their tenure OF Of
fee. At regular intervals their conf
pleted work IS taken from them and is
locked Up In an iron safe or van.t.
There II remains rlril the first member
of q new dynasty ascends the throne.
II Is then given with all the other
histories In tie vault 10 the cour
historiar. who is then living. and from
the mass OF documents he Is expected
TO prepare a truthful history of the
dynasty which has just expired. The
present dynasty has been reigning
since 1910 aud consequently no court
has been published since that
date.-St. Louis post-Dispatch
