B.tt.. Of Reptile and Fish.

From the New York Press: That
mooted question Of whether good
healthy water snake can cope success
fully in mortal combat with pickerel
has been decided by a battle in Lake
Pennesseewasse. of which William
Gary and Kenneth Quincy were wilt
nesses. The lake waters abound in
large-sIzed pickerel and there is no
other body of water in Maine where
the water snakes are SO huge. They
are harmless. but If forced to a fight
with man or fish can put up a good
scrap. Their bite. while not poisonous,
is eXertmely painful and everyone
gives them wide berth. In hot days
they crawl TO the branches OF the low
bushes on the shore OF the bogs and
sun themselves in contentment. Many
Of the reptiles will measure over ten
feet and few of them have ever been
captured. If person approaches them
while they are apparently sleeping on
the bushes and attempts to hit them
with a stick or stone they fall quickly
into the water and escape harm. One
day this summer, while the weather
was extremely warm. Gary and Cur

mon from a canoe. The boat had just

snakes have their headquarters, when
there was splash in the water and a
churning that attracted the attention
/ of the men in the boat They backed
water with the oars and floated up
| TO see what was the trouble. They
were surprised to see a huge black coil
of shining skin writing in the water
and went closer to investigate. They
found that water snake nearly eight
feet long had pickerel in his grasp
The fish must have weighed in the
vicinity Of three pounds and fight
was on. The snake slowly uncoiled his
body, when the pickerel darted out
and quickly turned. making swift
lunge for the snake. The latter, how
ever. grabbed the fish by the head ant
held him fast. In the course of thres
or four minutes the snake again un
coiled his body, and the pickerel, will

Curious but dangerous freaks OF ma

Arizona are called SumIderos by the
Mcxicans and Indians. They are
masked pitfalls Of quicksand that oe-
cur in the dry plains and are covered
with a trcaehcrous crust of clay that
has been spread over them In fine par
,Iclcs by the wind and baked dry by
the sun. The peculiar properties of the
soil retain all the moisture drained into
them after the infroqucnt rains, and
allow IL to be filtered TO unknown
deptha. 40 that man or a horse or a
cow or a sheep that once steps upon
that deceptive crust instantly sinks out
of sight beyond hope of rescue. The
sumidsros are on level with the sur
face of the desert. There Is no danger
siunal to mark them and their surface
can not be distinguished by the or
binary eye from the hard clay that
surrounds them. They occur most IRE
,ucntly In the alkali-eovercd flats, and
are often fifteen or twenty feet In
s,ameter. Sometimes they are only
little pockets or wells that a man can
lean across. but the longest pole has
pever found their bottom. A stone
thrown through the crust sinks TO I'M

The American Stock Farm has this
sensible advice on clipping the fore
lock: Our advice to leave the horses
forelock, names and tails undressed has
been offered to farmers and dealers
who put their horses on the public
market. Clipping the forelock lessons
the market value of horse at home
or abroad. The financial consideration
then should forbid it. With this con-
sideraton out OF the way, two other
considerations remain-the esthetic
and the humane. But for the fact that
there should be no disputing about
tastes, a flowing name and forelock
are invariably prominent part OF the
artists conception Of beauty in horse.
A horse with clipped forelock looks
to us like nothing so much as singed
cat-and a cat that has passed through
that process is not especially comely to
the average eye. We would certainly
not clip the foielock.

IMPROVE THE BEACH ROAD.

| There is an opportunity now for The
, government to do some excellent worl
in Deautifying the city.
The beach road is now bare of trees
1t is conceded that no trees should be
planted that will obscure the sight OF
those driving over it. The cocoanut
tree is, undoubtedly, the most suitable
for such a driveway. 1t will flourish
in the sandy soil that lies under the
drive. No other ornamental tree will
do well.
1t is important that trees be planted
at once, SO that their growth will be-
gin.
1t is known that the government
some time ago had this matter under
consideration, and had nearly perfected
a plan for planting suitable trees along
some unavoidable delay in executing it.
The expense of purchasing 900 young
|cocoanut trees, of planting and crib
bling them will be not far from $1,000.
hio 10 al lAiOuCldt oulii III planting
two rows of trees aIong this drive. The
amount is trif1ing, and can be taken
out of the appropriation of 100000 for
roads and bridges in Honolulu.
The starting OF the growth of these
tropical plants is so important, the gov
eminent can readily obtain private sub
scriptions to defray the expense of the
work if it needed.
Much may be done to make this
beach road attractive and popular
But the planting of the cocoanut trees
should be done at once, because seven
or eight years must pass before they
will become effective features in the
landscape
There is need Of suggestions for the
name of this beach road. President
Dole suggested the name of ALA Mo-
ana" (the ocean road. Is there a bet
ter name? The word ''boulevard'' is
because it suggests moth
ing and is only the adoption of a
French word signifying a road way.
We will all be pleased if the govern
ment will at once execute it's purpose of
this road typical drive in the
tropics.

will unquestionably command a strong
support. There can be no reasonable
objection to any nominee. Individual
character and personal worth are the
distinguished features. The whole
ticket can be elected, but we will not
indulge u readers with illusions or
vainglorious predictions of success
Normally the republicans are in the
minority in this county. Of late years
when they have named popular candi-
dates; made a vigorous campaign and
brought out the republican vote, they
have been successful in electing at
least a part OF the ticket. This year
the nominations are so strong and
worthy In the public estimation that
the whole ticket can be elected by a
proper effort. Organization, earnest
work, a full poll Of the republican vote

nees among their friends, will achieve
victory. The republicans should make
up their minds TO go in for a complete
triumph and every nominee.
