George Creed, whose funeral was held in

among his old friends in Jersey City a few
days since After trouble with his wife three
years ago he left her and their three chill

time since his disappearance in Morristown,
n. j., did not know he was thought to be
dead.
Music caused the death of beautiful g.
year-old fifty at Florence, Ala, the other
day. A farmer drove the valuable young
mare into town and as he was driving up the
principal street a brass band suddenly
struck up its blatant music. The mare had
never heard any sound like that before, and
so startled was she that she dropped dead
in the shafts of the trap. A veterinary sur
geon who examined the carcass declared
that the mare had died of heart failure, due
to excitement caused by the sound of the
unaccustomed music of the brass band

SNAKES WILD AND TAME.
4 SNAKE LOVERS EXPERIENCE

OF all North American specimens. the
black snake is probably the widest and
most difficult to domesticate. My tame
black snake was no exception to this rule

citing hunt. but was before he bit me
several times. drawing blood in many
places. When brought home and placed
in a glass-fronted cage, he was so exceed
ingly Wild that thought he would smash
his head from dashing IT against the
glass. For the first three months he was
so sulky he refused to partake OF food. AT
the end of that time he realized that the
glass was a protection. and after nine
months no longer biz my hand If l put it

In year, he would come forward ex-

a little later he would snatch the food out

FISH THAT LIVE OUT OF WAITE
THEY ARE FOUND IN BOTH AFRICA
AVID AUsTRALIA

In ordinary fish the gills take the Mace
OF lungs and are adapted to breathing in
water, but two species of fishes have
been lately discovered in Africa and Aus
tralia which are possessed of lungs. They
form the connecting link in the evolution
from fishes to the next order of creatures
The reason that these fish are provided
with lungs is that they are to be found
IN streams which dry up entirely in the
hot summer season, leaving the fish in
the empty bed of the streams. This no.
Rod OF drought often lasts for six months
Of the year, and during all this period
the fish lie quesceut IN a kind of sac
formed out OF the clay Of the river hsd
The fish are asleep in their queer earth
en- houses all this time but they breathe
ana are kept alive through their lungs

They are now arousing great interest In
scientific circles, as well as among those
interested in the strange methods whirb
nature finds for protecting her creatures
