Two Miles of Snakes.

Il was running on road in south
western Pennsylvania" said the old
engineer, when l killed two miles of
snakes i'll three minutes. 1t had been
wet and cold spring, and the same
weather conditions had extended to
about the middle Of May, and it seems
that all the snakes in that part of the
country had started to emigrate, and
as the rails had become warm under
the heat of the sun the reptiles nat
urally enough found the glittcring
steel smooth and comfortable high
way, and they just coupled up, one
taking hold Of the others tail, and
started down the track. l happened
to be coming along with the Jerk
water, and sc were making 25 milo s
an hour when we met the procession.
Jack McDevitt, my fireman, saw the
yarmints first, and he completely col
lapsed, but when perceived what we
were up against l pulled the throttle
of the old 81 wide open, let the sand
drop and smashed two miles of snakes
in less than three minutes. PttsJurg

A Giant Proiectile.

Larger than any gun in the world is
that just finished at the Watervliet
Arsenal for the defense of New
York harbor. This giant piece of or
dinance, which weighs 126 tons and is
40 feet long, has been..described in the
Record before this, but some facts
concerning its projectiles cannot fail
to interest scientific readers.
The heaviest shell now fred by an
american gun weighs 1850 pounds,
but this monster will use projectile
weighing 1870 pounds, the caliher of
the new gun being sixteen inches.
This shell will have height Of about
6ye feet elk inches. and the cartridge
added TO- this makes length of nine
feet. Two types Of shell will be made,
one known as cor-mon shell fitted with
base fnse. end carrying en- explosive.
which latter will consist either of
black powder or guncotton, and the
other known as armor-piercing shell.
The armor-piercing shells will have
caps fitted over their points and will
not carry any explosive charges. The
latter shells are intended, as their
name indicates, wholly for armor-
piercing work.
When an encmy's ship attempts to
force passage into New York harbor,
common shells. carrying black powder
or gunsotton charges, will be employed
at long range, but if the ship contin.
ues to approach she will be met with
armor- piercing shell. It is calculated
that an energy Of $4,000 foot-tons will
be developed by the force Of impact of
one Of these great shells. At 1900
yards distance, the shock of six
teen-inch shell has been figured out as
equivalent to the blow Of 6,0O0-ton
ship (almost the size Of the battleship
Texas) striking at speed Of sixteen
knots per hour. Nothing in the shape
Of wood, iron and steel has ever been
devised that can withstand such
.frightful impact.
As for the range, it is calculated
that the new sixteen-inch gun is cap
able Of throwing shell weighing e.
$40 pounds distance Of twenty -one
miles. The force at the mugzle would
lie. sixts-scrr Ct .he biggest freight

expressions Of gratitude do not cancel
an Indebtedness any more than pro-
missory note settles an account. 1t is
a beginning, not finality. Gratitude
that is so extravagant in words is usu-
ally economical in everything else. A
friends need is gratitude's oppor-
tunity."
The sincerely charitable man or wo-
man shrinks from the display of graft
tude on the part of one he or she has
lifted bit over @ rough place. If,
after doing some little favor you look
for and expect some prompt recogni
ton, then ] ali afraid that after oil
you have not really been sincere in
your motive in giving and doing. Be-
cause you have sent the "poor rela-
ton" box Of old clothes at Christ
mas you should not take it as q sign
Of lack OF gratitude that you do not
receive box of big, ripe peaches from
the "poor relation s" little home-place
in July. Perhaps the "poor relation
foundsit more profitable to put the
peaches away in jars for winter time,
or couldn't afford to pay express
charges and was too proud to send the
box to you marked &c. .. D."
1t isn't such a great act of benevo-
lence to send old clothes to "poor re-
lations" that you are justified in ex-
pecting frequent signals Of how deep
is the gratitude Of those same "poor
relations" 1t is part of the charity
that begins a. home, and labors faith
fully there, to include ones kin who
are not as comfortably situated as
oneself. OIt is old fashioned, i know,
to acknowledge even remote family
ties, but it is good fashion that of
being very charitably disposed toward
"Cousin Belle" or "Cousin Lucy"
not relating to others of your kith or
kin, either, the story Of how much you
have done for them.
Oh, yes, there is plenty Of work in
the world for the truly charitable wo-
man, and it is as noble work as any
that womankind may do. The charity
that speaks no i'll Of another, and the
charity that is even generous enough
to overlook ingratitude-should such
be NETS charity that is great in
deed.-Margaret Hannis, az st. Louis
Republic.

Wanted a New Husband.

"A few weeks ago lady called at
my studio,' said photographer,
land told me she wanted to have some
photographs taken to send to her peo-
pie in Germany. I took her to my
chief operator, and what do you think
she asked him? She actually re-
quested him to be photographed with
her as her husband. My own hus-
band is very homely, insignificant
little man, she said, and I'm rather
ashamed to send his photo to my peo
pie; so, if you will just take his place
in the picture, no one will ever know
anything about it.

Some Mortified church.goers.

An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by the way
the members of the congregation had
of looking around to see late. comers.
After enduring it for some time, he
said, on entering the reading desk one
day: Brethren, regret to see that
your attention is called away from
your religious duties by your very
netnra! desire TO seu WHO comes in be-
hind you. l propose henceforth to
save you the trouble by naming each
person. who may come in late
He then began: 'Dearly beloved"
but paused half way to interpolate,
"Mr. S., with his wife and daugh-
ter"
Mr.. s. looked rather surprised,
but the minister with perfect gravity,
resumed. Presently he again paused:
"Mr. c. and William D"
The abashed congregation kept their
eyes studiously bent on their books.
The service proceeded in the most
orderly manner, the parson interrupt
ing himself every now and then to
name some newcomer. At last he
said, still with the seme perfcat
gravity:
"Mrs. S. in q new bonnet" =

in the congregation had turned around.

Uncle Sam will Explore this Summer a
Land Of Wonders.
Special to News and Courier.

aitnatea n;d=ay between the Sierra
Oscura and the Sacramento range, the
volcano itself rising from the centre
OF bolson desert. The lava is bub-
bly,, ropy and cinder-like in different
parts, and has the appearance of hav-
ing been discharged in molten con-
dition at g very recent period.
Again, there are the wonderful
Vermillion lands-yast stretches Of
blood.red landscape, broken only by
occasional stripes Of snow white gyp-
sum. They are an outcrop Of the red
clays and rocks of the ancient Per-
mian formation. Rising sometimes
1000 feet or more above the desert
plains are the superb encampments of
the plateaus, the summit cliffs Of
which are often so sheer and vertical
that the traveller is obliged to follow
the edge for many miles before he can
ind place where it is practicable to
descend. These tremendous cliffs are
called by the Mexicans, in their pic
turesque nomenclature, 'Cejas,' or
magnificent Ceja de Galisteo, not far
to the southwark Of Santa Fe.
Hardly any water reaches the
ocean from this weird and uniuviting
country, and only two rivers lead out
Of it-namely, the Pecos and the Rio
Grande. But these two streams are
not at all like ordinary rivers, which
all along their course gather fresh con-
tributions from every creek and rill.
The Rio Grande and Pecos can scarce,
ly be said to have any tributaries;
they are mere canals passing through
the country, as one might say, their
waters being derived from the SHOWS
of the mountains Of Colorado. On
large map Of Western Texas you will
find great many streams of various
sizes, but they are all head and no
tail, being absorbed eventually into
the sands Of the deserts. It was a
gree. volcanic country once-the ter
ritory am describing. It's volcanic
craters are not mere necks or cores,
like most Of the 80 called craters Of
the United States; they are gigantic
heapso of >cinders, and preserve their
contour 80 perfectly as to convey
vivid notion Of their recent activity.
I'm the vast stretch between the
Pecos and the Rio Grande are many
ruins, left behind by an ancient abe
riginal population. Some Of them,
snch as that oe Graz Quivira-not to
be confused, by the way, with the
mythical golden village Of Coronado
chow evidences Of having been occu-
pied by once numerous people, Of
which -shere is no record in history or
tradition. There ere rs.aains st ez.
tensive irrigation works, where now
there is no water, and the only rea-
sonable theory seems to be that the
population was driven away by the
drying pof the water supply which
formerly existed.
"Not the. least interesting point
about this mysterious region is that
its settlement and development have
preceded its exploration by geogra-
piers. Railroads are being built
through it, its vast pine forests are
being attacked by saw mills, and pros
porous towns are growing up in those
portions Of it which are ,habitable,
and yet almost nothing about the
country is automatically known"

Eedateness is not expected Of college
students, but there Is still a portion Of
the community that believes return
to common sense would help the young
gentlemen nightly. There is nothing
In college curricula or surroundings to
make the average youth part complete
ly with his wits, but as soon as a collec-
ton of husky students acquire the gre
garious habit they seem to enjoy being
considered addle-pated irresponsibles
At least, that is the only Interpretation
that can be placed on some Of their
hazing performances. College faculties
and governors have been too lenient In
allowing the liberty of the students to
generate into the grossest license.
There is no particular objection to stu
dents making nuisances Of themselves,
but the hazing license has resulted in
physical wrecks and lifelong disabili-
ties. It should be stamped out where
milder methods fail.
