THE "WHlN" OF A RATHER.
n sound That Is Never Forgotten
When Once Heard ut close
Quarters

No matter where n man may 90 or
what may bcfall him. he will never
feel the same throb as when he first
hears the "whin" of rattlesnake,
followed by the blood-curdling hiss
that denotes that the terrible crea-
ture is about to strike. The danger
from the rattlesnake is as great to-
day as IL ever was, and the man who
starts alone down any rock canyon is
naole to meet one or more. General.
~ speaking, the rattlesnake gives
warning when ii is ready for business,
but it happens that this warning is
seldom given until the man is quite
cIose-often too close to escape. OF
almost the same color as the rocks,
the snake lies practically concealed
from view, and the first the traveller
knows OF its presence is the deadly
singing of the rattles. Unless the
man has heard it before, he will not
be able to locate it. The terrible
sound seems to mingle with the sun
shine, and the bewildered man is as
likely to walk into the jaws of death
as TO run in the direction of safety.
Unless medical aid is at hand very
shortly after the bite death is sure
TO follow. An awful death It IS; the
Indians say the most awful death a
man can die, writes Will Sparks, in
Ainslee's.
Besides the rattlesnakes, the New
Mexico end of the Rocky mountains
is blessed with the tarantula, the
scorpion and the centipede Then
there's The gila monster and many
poisonous lizards. OF all these the
centipede Is perhaps the most TO be
feared, because it is the most plen-
tiful, and has n habit of living among
the ceiling rafters of old adobe
houses. At night, when man is
sleeping, it drops, and il it strikes his
body 1t leaves a wound that takes
months to heal, provided some blood
disorder does not develop and kill the
man. The gila monster generally
does not bite unless teased. The
scorpion and tarantula inhict wounds
more painful than dangerous.

Chased By A Deer.

Persons who 60 into the woods at
this time of year are liable to have
adventures and perilous encounters
with the dangerous denizens of the
forest. A Phlladelphian recently ven
tured into the wilderness near
Willamsport and was attacked by a
ferocious deer. "he Philadelphia
was so frightened that he could not
use his gun, and he fed, pursued by
the ravening beast, which tried to bite
his head off. Being fleet of foot and
badly scared, the Philadelphlan outran
the deer and escaped across a plank
over a stream. The implacable deer
still pursued him, and started to swim
the stream, determined to bite him,
but the Philadelphian got his gun into
action and with dozen or two we'll
directed bullets from his unerring rifle
he laid the monster low. Fortunately
ne lives to tell the tale, but what would
have been his fate had ne been freed
by rabbit. North Ameriean.

THE THISTLE AS FUEL.
Country where Coal Is Ex-
pensivc and Scarce

There are farmers in western Ne
braska who have made hundreds of
dollars each fall baling and selling for
fuel the common Russian thistle, but
a few years ago regarded as menace
to western agriculture. These are not
isolated exceptions, either, says the
Country Gentleman. The thistle
abounds through the western counties.
In the fall the weed is to be found in
enormous quantities through the open
country. The special baling machines
can place in compact packages, similar
to baled hay, hundreds of pounds of
this weed in day. It makes excep-
tionally fine fuel, and in the west, re-
mote from coal fields, where ton Of
the hauling ten to twenty miles, the
Russian thistle is fine substitute.
Again, the common tumble weed" is
baled for fuel. 1t resembles the Rus
sian thistle, with the exception of the
thorns, and is even more prolific. In
the fall of the year it assumes ball
like shape, and in the first winter wind
breaks its frail stem and sends the
fluffy roll of dry vegetable matter
bounding over the prairie like great
ball. From this fact its name tumble
weed is derived. The first ravine or
"draw" the weed strikes affords it
Judgement, and successive balls soon
make a pile as big as a freight car.
Farmers drive their wagons into these
draws, load them down by pressing
them with their feet into great wagon
boxes and burn them in the grass"

A DAYLIGHT METEOR.
Had the Appearance of Flash of
Molten silver Followed by
Train OF Sparks.

Just before sunset on September 2
magnificent meteor was observed in
the North of England and in Scot
land. A large number of descriptions
of the object have appeared in the
newspapers, and it appears that not
withstanding broad daylight the spec
tacle was a very brilliant one, says
Nature.
At st. Anne's, Lancashire, the me-
teor fell in a northerly direction, and
left column of white smoke, which
remained visible ten minutes. AZ
Hunts Cross the time was noted as
6:52 D. m, and the object is said to
have fallen near lakewood, leaving a
long trail of white dust for several
minutes. As seen from Birkenhead
the meteor appeared at 6:54 p. m. in
the northeast, and looked like a de-
scending rocket. Its path was nearly
vertical, and it left dust trail" for
nearly six minutes. At Wetherby,
Yorks, the smoke-like cloud left by the
nucleus remained Wis BILE until 1880 p.
m. At Overton, Ellesmere, the object
is said to have apparently fallen on a
field on the left bank of the Dee,
about a mile from Bangor lsycoed.
At and near Edinburgh the fireball
was witnessed by many persons. One
observer says that at 6;55 p. m. there
was n sudden flash and what appeared
to he n streak OF molten silver fol-
lowed by train of sparks whizzed
past, apparently falling into large
field of turnips on his right hand.

TIE NEW RELIGION.
A New Religious Sect. u is Called
.Abiennal Dawn Circle and
Has Many Members.

Tamaqua is headquarters for a new
religious sect, which is gaining ground
in Pennsylvania. 1t is called the
"Ablennial Dawn Circle" and has
members as far west as Pittsburg and
as far east as Philadelphia The dis.
ciples of this new faitn believe that
the millennium is at hand, and the
present is the time of transition be.
tween the gospel age and the era
of perfect peace and happiness prom
ised IN the Holy Writ. This con
clusion has been arrived at partly
through an exhaustive study of the
Bible and the prophecies partly
through the observation of the sign of
the times. The "Blble Christians"
as they are also called, point out that
the present social order is satisfactory
to neither rich nor poor, but that no
human Instrumenfality can improve
it, and that only the coming OF Christ
can produce conditions under which
all men, all races and classes can live
together in love, peace and happiness.
One of the principal leaders and dis
cples of the new faith is Professor +.
G.. Walters, of that town. Describing
It's tenents, inception and progress in
a recent interview, Professor Walters
said:
"Our main objects are careful study

Bible, in order that we may properly
interpret the Scriptures. We are not
seeking to organize as a denomination,
but iraternize with Christians of all
denominations and gladly accept their
help in our work We differ, however,
with accepted Bible teachings on
many important points. We do not
believe that the world will ever be
destroyed, nor do we believe that an
all merciiul Father will condemn
untold millions to eternal torment.
This belief has arisen through careless
Scriptural reasoning and wrong ir-
terpretation Of fgurative language.
According to our belief, the millennium
will take place during the next
fifteen years. The interval will be
filled with unrest. with wars and fear
ful convulsions, but then will come
the interval of peace, and all the peo-
Pile of the earth will receive all the
blessings promised throughout the
Bible.
"rhe greatest number of families
Of the earth have gone to the grave
without the promised blessing, hence
must be resurrected to hear and re-
celve the benefits Of it. During the
millennium The whole human race will
be brought to full knowledge of
righteousness, love and peace, through
practical operation, and, being equipped
with a knowledge on both sides and
instructed by the Royal Priesthood,
mankind will be ready tor the tests OF
that age. At the end Of this time the
governments will be under the full
control of Christ and his church, and
order shall be brought out Of chaos
and all things shall gradually be
restored to Edenic conditions--Acts iii,
1921. Contrary to existing beliefs,
the literal earth will abide forever.
Eccl. l., IA. We are constantly
gaining new converts to our faith,
which is based only on broad love for
humanity and desire to so prepare
for the great times to come that the
Divine purpose may be more fully
carried out, and all the benefits and
glories OF the millenial age realized.
