a Rottleanake's FanEa.

You often hear of rendering a rattle
snake harmless by pulling out its
fangs. Then. again. you read of cases
where q serpent so treated has bitten
persons fatally. The reason for this Is
that poisonous snake is deprived only
temporarily Of its venomous powers by
the extraction Of the two incisors in
the upper jaw. at the bases Of which
are the poison glands. OF course you
know that the fangs are hollow. so
that when the animal strikes the 7en-
ON gushes through them into the flesh
of the person struck Now. by draw
ing the two teeth the snake may be
rendered harmless for a few weeks.
but after short time the two teeth
just behind the original fangs move up
and take their places, making connec.
ton with the poison glands and thus
becoming poison fangs as good and ef-
fective as the old ones.

"SHE BURNS GREEN."
The Discovery OF EoreI In Deatt
Valley by Aaron Winters.

The Discovery OF BoraI In Death
Valley By Aaron winters.
The greatest discovery of borax in
the United States was made in the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and in most romantic way The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife, Rosie. in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth OF
Death valley. He was so fond OF
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him. although
their little hit Oh the side of the noun
tain was u hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor in wild. rugged
forsaken country.
One day desert tramp came along
and spent the night at The Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits of Nevada. When be
went away. Winters thought that he
had seen deposits Of the same kind or
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife wen' TO
gether to- make the search. having pre-
Yiously provided themselves with GER
tain test chemicals, which when COM
bined with bnrIH and ignitrh would
produce a green fame.
Having procured Il piece OF the sub
stance which he believed TO ne boraX.
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would it
burn?
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert. entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very neressl-
ties Of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held tn" blaze 20 tie sub
stance with trembling band. then
shouted at the top Of his voice: SHE
burns green. Rosie! We're rich! We're
richr'
They had found boraX. The minr
was sold for $20.OO0. and Winters took
his Rosie to Il ranch in Nevada.

THE MAJORS VENGEANCE.
Mckinley and the Reporter Who
Persistently Assailed Him.

Persistently Assailed Him.
During one of his congressional cam
paigns Major Mckinley was followed
from place to place by a reporter for a
paper Of opposite political faith, who is
described as being one OF those
"shrewd, persistent fellows who are al
ways a. work, quick to see an oppor-
tunity and skilled in making the most
of it." While Mr.. Mckinley was an
noyed by the Misrepresentation to
which he was almost daily subjected,
he coulC not help admiring the skill and
persistency with which he wCs assaiI-
ed. His admiration, too, was not un-
mixed with compassion, for the re-
porter was i'll, poorly clad and had an
annoying cough. One night Mr.. Nc
Kinley took closed carriage for near
bv town at which he was announced to
speak. The weather was wretchedlF
raw and cold. and what followed is
thus described:
He had not gone far when he heard
that cough and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver On the eH-
posed seat. The major called to the
driver to stop and alighted. "Get down
off that seat, young man." he said. The
reporter obeyed, thinking the time for
the majors vengeance had come.
"Hcre," said Mr.. Mckinley, taking OF
his oyercoat. you put on this overcoat
and get into that carriage"
"But. Major Mckinley" said the re-
porter, 81 guess you don't know who
am. have been with you the whole
campaign. giving it to you every time
you spoke. and am going over tonight
to rip you to pieces If ! can"
