REPTILES.

The reptiles of Cuba are generally
not poisonous, though the juba, a
snake that grows to a length Of six
feet, is said to possess a certain de-
gree of venom. The natives, however,

from all harmful qualities, and in proof
of their faith in this assertion freely

Largest Creamery on Earth.

Lincoln, Neb., claims the distinction
of having the largest creamery in the
world, not only in buttermaking capac-
ity, but in size of plant and floor space.
It is not insisted that Lincoln turns out
more butter than any other city, Elgin,
ILL.,, being at least one exception, but in
that city, it is asserted, there are several
distinct plants, long established, while
that of Lincoln is really in it's infancy.
1t is an incorporated company. starting
on small scale at Beatrice, Neb., five
years ago, and removing to Lincoln
three years later. The company suffered
serious baclsset shortly after it's re-
moval, the rented building it occupied
being totally destroyed by fire. Six
months later it was decided to erect a
building which would be the largest
used for the purpose in the world. This
was completed four m" nths ago, with a
capacity of 10000 pounds of butter a
day, and working, at present. at slightly
in excess of half it's capacity, with an
average of $1,000 pounds daily. The
building is of three stories, brick and
stone, and it's dimensions are 1OOx14o
feet. Eighty-two stations. located in
Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, supply
the cream for the main plant, and these
are being constantly added to.-Chi-

MARVEL AT SNORING.
Not Have the Accomplishments
of Civilization.

Snoring may be inconveniently OBJ
trusive in sleeping car" said the eN-
perienced traveller, 'tbut it is just as
much mark of a high stage of civiliza-
ton as is the sleeping car itself. You
may take it for fact that all the wild
and inferior race do not snore. The
doctrine of the survival of the tittest
gets in its work right there, and the saw
age person who vocalizes his sleep
stands a very good chance of learning
that snoring is not good for the health.
Suppose you are very savage person
out on the warpath in country full of
your enemies. You take every precau-
ton against discovery, covering your
trail and selecting your camp so as to
battle ordinary search. That's,all right,
but if you snore it's all wrong; an enc
my who hears the sound will make in
vestigations and the result is fatal al
ways and frequently uncomfortable.
81 have been a great deal among wild
people, both in this country and else
where, and know that they do not
snore. Once l had one of these govern
ment professors with me; he was very
wise man and knew more about the saw
ages than they did themselves, but he
would snore to beat the band. Like
most people whose slumbcrs are orches-
trated, he denied the fact and we should
never have convinced him of what the
rest of us had every reason to know, ii
it had not been for one little circum-
stance. One night we made our camp
right in village of the savages. They
were peaceful enough, and we We're in
no particular danger. Still, as they
were wild people, it was just as well to
keep some sort of watch on their
movements.
swell, the professor rolled himself up
in his blanket and soon was snoring like
q good fellow. After awhile felt that
there were people about and lifted my
self up on my elbow TO see what was up.
Tn blest if pretty near the whole outfit
of the savages hadn't left their own
houses and squatted down on the grass
where they could look into our camp
and see what was going on. 1t was the
first time in all their lives they had ever
heard a man snore, and they did not
know what to make Of it. Or rather
they thought they did, for they sized it
up that some one of the gods was COM
municating with the white men.
cts never very safe to monkey will,
the religious opinions of the savages,
so got up and woke the professor.
When he saw the crowd sitting around
our camp he was scared for fair. But
when I told him that the savages had
gathered just to hear him snore it made
him mad. l don't see why it should. Ii
the savages don't snore and the civilized
people do, then the snore should be
taken as one of the badges of ciyiliza-
tion."-N. Y. Sun.

sANARELLA'S THEORY.
Surgeon General StcrnberE Thinks
His yellow Fever Bacillus Is of
the Hog Cholera Variety.

The finding of the presidential COM
mission of hospital experts in support
of the Sanarelli theory as TO the cause
of yellow fever does not meet with
Endorsement in official circles. Under
the direction of Surgeon General Stern
berg, of the army, the bacteriologists of
the Army Medical school and museum
have been making an exhaustive inves-
tigation along similar lines, and their
hold that the Sanarelli bacillus is a
variety of the bacillus of hog cholera.
Gen. Sternberg, when asked as TO the
reports of the commission supporting
the Sanarelli theory, referred to an ar
ticle from him published lately in a
medical journal, in which he combats
many points made by Sanarelli, and
concludes as follows:
''Drs. Reed and Carroll are now pre-
pairing a report of their extended re-
searches, which have been going on in
the Army Medical museum during the
past two years. This report will be
published in due time and will give
full details of the experimental evil
dence upon which they base their con-
clusion that Sanarelli's bacillus is va
riety of the bacillus of hog cholera.
'It appears to me at the present time
that, like the Colon bacillus and bacil-
lus X, the bacillus OF Sanareli is pah-
agenic saprophyto which is present
occasionally and accidentally in yellow
fever patients, and that its etiolugical
relation to this disease has not been
established. If, however, the results
reported by Drs. Reed and Carroll can
be shown to be based upon erroneous
observation, shall be ready to revise
my opinion. Truth is mighty and no
doubt in the end will prevail"
Gen. Sternberg also quotes from a let
ter from DR.. De Lacordo at Rio de ia
metro, saying the Sanarelli serum has
failed in Brazil, being neither prevent
i've nor curative. Similar negative re-
suits, Gen. Sternberg points out, were
secured by DR.. Archinero at New Or
leans.-BroolSlyn Eagle.

'vvnrships Injured by Electricity.

An Italian court recently, after a
trial, ordered the removal of some
wooden yachts. whose bottoms were
sheathed with copper, from the neigh.
borhood of iron warships anchored in
the harbor of Leghorn. 1t was alleged
that an electric connection was estab.
lished through the ships cables where
by the copper-bottomed warships were
turned into the poles of galvanic
battery, the result being rapid cor.
rosion of the iron in contact with the
sea water.-Youth's Companion.

not single kind of bird usually kept
in cage which is not, when at liberty,
either gregarious or permanently
paired. Skyiarks, for instance, are IA
vorite cage birds, especially with LON
doners, and they are usually shut up
alone, in peculiarly low cage, so that
they may not injure their heads by at
tempting to soar. Yet skylarks by
nature are migratory, flying in cheer
full flocks till the first signs of spring
appear, when each chooses mate.
There are hundreds of skylarks Ian
