Snake. Charm and Kill Horse.

Abram Robson, near Grantsburg,
Ind. while hunting a stray horse,
which had been missing for two days,
noticed large black snake, which re-
treated toward a cave formed by an
overhanging ledge of rocks in one of
the high bluffs surrounding his pas
ture field. His horse was found lying
in this cavern, but covered by what
looked to him like a mountain of
snakes, so numerous were the reptiles.
Robson fed to his house and secured
his shotgun, with which he returned
and opened fire until his cartridges
were exhausted. After the battle he
counted the bodies of Alb snakes lying
around and over the body of his horse.
which was dead, while many reptiles
escaped in wounded condition. He
believes that his horse, which was a
magnificent animal, weighing 1000
pounds or more, had been charmed by
the reptiles, so that he was powerless
to escape.

The Mailed shad.

Few persons know that there are
more than 500 spe cies Of shad, chiefly
in the waters OF North and South
America, Asia and Africa, but the most
interesting of all of these is the mailed
shad (callichthys callicthys) of South
American waters. 1t is covered on
both sides with double row of thick
plates, and the head Is also hard and
bonv. On account of this coat-of-mail
the fish has the strangest appearance
of any Of the shad species. Only ich-
thyologists would recognize it as shad
at all, and most of us would think it
was some strange creature that had
survived from prehistoric times. 1t
plays havoc with the other fish, being
so we'll protected from their attacks
that only a shark, with its powerful
jaws, can crush it. The mailed-shad
sometimes grows to an enormous size,
and makes a brave struggle for life
when it is hooked. Only lately a
German naturalist, Herr P. Matte, has
succeeded in catching one alive In q
wire net, and taking it to Europe alive,
where it swims around in its own tank
in the Berlin Aquarium. An attempt
is now being made to get some spawn
of this fish SO as to raise them for vari-
GUS aquariums. 1t is not good fish
for food, being touch and dry, unlike
the juicy specimens of the species that
are found in the North river or the
Susquehannah.

Coal Mining in China.

In point of abundance coal takes
the first place among the mineral
products of China. The coal fields OF
the country are estimated to equal in
extent all the coal fields of the world
put together, but the output has as
yet been trifing. This is partly due
to the fact that the richest regions
are difficult of access, and that the
Chinese miner cannot cope with water
in the pits. The mining is, therefore,
carried on by horizontal or shallow
pits. The table land OF Shansyl
yields the best coal, the other great
fields being in Suchwan and Kwel-
chou.

The Automobile.

The automobile has come to stay.
In this country it is coming into favor
so rapidly that manufacturers are over
worked. Isaac L. Rice, president of
the Electrical Vehicle company, of
New York, stated recently that he had
placed orders for various tpyes of
automobiles aggregating $4,000, 900.
This immense sum will be the cost of
4,200 vehicles, of which 200 will be
delivery wagons and the remainder for
passengers, comprising runabouts, han
SONS, landaus and broughams. 1t
will require about two years to fill
these orders, and the work will bring
prosperity to many towns. The COM
papy intends to SO enlarge it's manu-
featuring plants that within a year
they will have capacity of 100 auto
mobiles day. The United States
Express company has been testing an
automobile delivery wagon in Chicago
aud Baltimore, and now has brought
it to New York, with view to further
and crucial tests. Should these prove
its superiority to the present wagon,
we will probably see it duplicated to
supplant the horse. In Akron, O.,
the police department has ordered an
automobile patrol wagon. In Boston
the automobile is to be used for the
collection of mail, and in Washington
the postofflce department is consider
ing its adoption for this purpose in all
the large cities. Evidently the auto
mobile has Caught on"
