vulturs- aAd Rattlesnaixea.

When the international boundary
commission resurveyed the lines be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
thsre were naturalists In the party.
DR.. Mearns, who, with his assistants,
collected many specimens OF birds and
mammals, tells Of fight In the cir be-
tween a California vulture and rat
fjesnake which be saw while exploring
the Cocopsh mountains Of Lower Cal
ffornia.
II was In the early morning. The big
bird had seized the snake behind the
head and was struggling upward with
fits writing. deadly burden The
snakes captor appeared aware that Its
victim was dangerous. The burden
was heavy, as the reptile was nearly
five feet long.
The grip of the bird on the snakes
body was not Of the best The snake
seemed to be squirmirg fro. its cap
tors talons, at least SUFFICIENT to en-
able It to strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recon and dart at the mess
Of feathers.
1t did this once or twice. and then.
with a shrek, the vulture dropped it's
prey. The bird was probably 800 feet
or so above the observers. The aston
ished men were then treated to spec
tacle seldom seen. Few birds but q
vu.ture could accomplish such feat
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches II dropped earth
ward like a shot, and, like shot, the
bird dropped after 1t. catching II In
midair with a grip that caused death.
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle. and the vulture scared away to q
mountain peak to devour its hard earn
ed meal.-Youth's Companion

can amusing thing that we frequent
ly see at the White House." said one
of the attaches there. lis the mailing
of letters in the White House letter
box by visitors to the city. All visitors
to Washington so to the executive
mansion, and many of them notice the
letter box in the vestibule just before
entering the east room. Some of them
decide to mail letters there. believing
that these letters will contain the
stamp of the White House. OF course
it would be n great thing for 4 distant
relative to receive Il letter postmarked
at the White House.
The other day an Intelligent looking
woman, accompanied by several grown
daughters, asked me to lend her 4 pen
ell. l heard her say, Won't it be love
ly to mail them Il letter from here and
let them see that we've been to the
presidents home:' She proceeded to
write for some time, secured an envel-
Ope, addressed it and then proudly
dropped the epiStle in our letter box.
She went off with Il radiant face. She
was sure that all her neighbors and
friends for miles around would hear of
that letter mailed from the White
House, and she would be besieged with
inquiries on her return. She'll learn
her mistake. The letter box here does
not differ in any way from those on
the streets. s."-Washington Star

During my residence in Heidelberg q
lamentable and terrible affair took
place that threw a profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town. Two German students, having
quarreled, decided the earth was not
large enough for both of them to live
in and resortcd TO the diabolical prac-
tice called the American duel"
In 4 darkened room the two young
men drew lots, having sworn that he
who drew the black ball would commit
suicide. The unhappy loser went TO
his room and discharged Il bullet into
his breast. but missed his heart and
fingered for several days on his death
bed. His parents were summoned by
knees to disclose the name of his an
tagonist, but he steadfaStly refused
and died with the secret in his breast.
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage, and
when his remains were taken to the
distant city they accompanied the fu-
neral cortege with torches and music
The students claimed he was not Il sui
eide, for he was killed in an honorable
duel. and they maintained that his op-
pOnent was not accessory TO his death
because he shot himself. l had many
arguments with them and never could
convince them of their extraordinary
yersation.-Science.
