ton, "Who chooseth me shall gain wha,
many men desire;" the silver one, "Who

Nearly the whole genesis of speculative
as we'll as practical mining is embodied In
these fruitful notices. You can find
them indelibly carved in thousands of
shafts and prospect holes In all the mining
states. Their echoes curdle the noisome
air of millions Of drifts and tunnels. Their
tenacity Is as strong as the hope that
springs eternal In the miners breast.
They are the Alpha and Omega Of the
great mining industry, from prospector to
promoter. Their virtue Is as immortal as
Shakespeare himself.
And the three suitors to Portals fair
hand are typical also Of the fate oflmining
promoters. First comes the libald boaster

Curing a snake,s BlIndness.

One of the most poisonous snakes at
the London zoo, king cobra, recently
became nearly blind. When it shed its
skin, it threw off every part except the
transparent plate which covers the eye.
After each change of skin this plate re-
manned uncast, and the successive lay
ers became Opaque and projected over
the eye in horny boss The keeper
used the snake habit of creeping through
any aperture which it can find in the
wall of its cage to rid itself of the
growth over the eye. He drew back the
iron shutter which separates one COM
partment from the other, leaving mar
row space open. The cobra soon discov-
cred this, and pushed its nose into the
crack. This was slightly widened, and
the snake squeezed through, rubbing of
one of the scales as it did SO. 1t was
then induced to go back by the way it
had come, and after this had been re-
peated once or twice it cleared the scale
from the other eye. Since then it has
cast its skin completely and its eyes are
apparently none the worse for its tenn
porary blindness. Snakes naturally drag
themselves through rough grass and
holes to get nd of the old skin which
clings TO them. London Public Opin-
