BATH. of Reptile and Fish.

From the New York Press: That
mooted question OF whether a good
healthy water snake can cops success
fully In mortal combat with a pickerel
has been decided by a battle in Lake
Pennesseewasse, Of which William
Gary and Kenneth Quincy were wit
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 car put up a good
scrap. Their bite, while not poisonous,
Is exertmely painful and everyone
gives them a wide berth. In hot days
they crawl to the branches Of the low
bushes on the shore of the boys and
sun themselves In con.entment. Many
Of the reptiles viii measure over ten
feet and few Of them have ever been
captured. II a 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
ney were on the lake trawling for SAL
mon from a n The boat had just
passed the edge OF the bog where the
snakes have their headquarters, when
there was a splash in the water and a
churning that attracted the attention
of the men in the boat. They backed
water with the oars and fioated up
to see what was the trouble. They
were surprised to see a huge black coil
of shining skin writhing in the water
and went closer to investigate. They
found that a water snake nearly eight
feet long had a pickerel in his grasp.
The fish must have weighed in the
vicinity of three pounds and a fight
was on. The snake slowly uncoiled his
body, when the pickerel darted out
and quickly turned, making a swift
lunge for the snake. The latter, how
ever, grabbed the fish by the head and
held him fast. In the course of three
or four minutes the snake again I'M
coiled his body, and the pickerel, with
e few faint motions, came to the top
of the water for air. The snake lay
still, but as the fish showed signs OF
returning life he again grabbed him by
the head. Then the body of the fish be-
gan to disappear slowly, and at last
there vas no more pickerel In sight.
The next day Quincy and Gary were
on the shore Of the bog for frogs to be
used for bait, when they found the
dead body OF a big snake. They cut
the reptile open and found about half
way down the throat the body OF the
pickerel. The snake in swallowing the
fish had rested for a breath Of air,
when the fish again came to life and,
spreading his belly fins, had choked
the snake to death. However, the men
declare hat the snake won the fight,
but was too anxious to celebrate his
victory, and thereby lost his own life.

The Search for 1t Is to BE Renewed.
Just now the attention Of Athenians
is centered at the island of Zante, one
of the 1onian group. Some time ago
there was found in the archives of the

fearing that their island would share a
similar fate, buried all their treasures
and fled, and that the Empress Sophia
did the same. The place where the
empress treasure lay is described as
within the fortress under a large red
stone near the temple of st. Luke"
In the year 1900 Pope Clement VIII.
made a-search for the treasure, but the
result is unknown. In 1911 the Eng
llsh attempted to find it, and excaya-
tons were made, the large stone men
toned in the ancient document found
but then the search was interrupted.
Now the document is in the hands of
an Italian, who, together with some
Greeks, in searching for the treasure.
The Greek government has granted a
concession for the work on condition
of receiving half the treasure if il he
found. A patrol OF soldiers guards
the place night and day. The exca-
VatCrs met with a we'll, which was
easily pumped dry, but instead of the
large red stone they found at the h7t-
tom of the well two grottos, one RIM
ming north, the other south. The for
mer is said to be very remarkable. It
has been explored for eighty meters,
and runs close below the church Of ST.

of masonry, which, when struck, emit
ted a hollow sound. This has now To

a: issue when the representatives we're
elected who afterward made them a
part of the governing machinery;
therefore it may be broadly and truth
fully stated that this is not a gov
eminent that derives its powers from
the consent Of the governed, except in
the sense that all other governments
are by consent of the governed"
Consent Is synonymous with accede,
yield, assent, comply, acquiesce. Hence
every government whose citizens are
not in revolt, who have refused to
yield to or comply with any laws or
systems adopted. is a government by
consent of the governed. and the
United States is not peculiar, and has
nothing to boast of in that respect.
1t does seem strange that there should
be such a vigorous protest against sub
1ecting the sem~i-civilized people of the
late Spanish isles to a system and
practice that our own civilized and in
telllgent people are submitting to right
along, and have ever since the forma-

out saying SO much to the latter as
by your leave" and they consent, be-
cause they feel that they have not
the power to successfully resist, then
TINS is a government by the consent

enough for them! But it would be
opposed to the spirit Of our govern
ment If not its practice to compel
those islanders to become a part of us
and subject to our laws and systems
without first asking their consent; and
none can deny that it is equally wrong
TO compel Il present citizens to sub
nit TO radical changes in govern
mental policy or laws without first
asking their consent. What is deemed
justice to the islanders surely ought
to be insisted upon by our own peo-
pie.
II government by consent of the gov
erned is really desirable; If it is worth
ooastlng about, and we are boasting
about 1t constantly; if a government
or by and for the people is to be real
lzed' and is worth realizing; if, in
short, we want this government to be
IN very truth based IN the grand prin-
c1ple that all governments derive their
just powers from the previously OBJ
tanned consent of the governed. there
is one short, safe, sure and easy way
to thai end, and that is by the initia-
tive and referendum or direct legisla-
ton. In the absence of this let us
cease believing that we are any better
than our monarchical n%eighbors.
