Professor Dixon, of Yale, who mas
been camping on Indian Creek, in
Colorado, has demonstrated the pos
sibility Of welding two snakes togeth
er so that their bodies will unite and
continue to grow as one.
While it is admitted that human
parts could be made to grow together,
1t has been contended that the slug
gish circulation of reptiles would mill
tate against such process in their
case.
The rattler was extended with an
iron hook circling his head. An adder
was obtained and cut in two. The
rattler was treated in the same way.
The tail Of the adder was then sewed
to the rattler with strong thread
and after twenty-four hours the iron
collar was removed and the COM
posite reptile was put into q cage,
where he squirmed around with every
evidence Of vitality
Although the customary warning
rattle was absent on it's new tail, the
supply Of virus was not diminished
by his curtailment, for when he struck
a rabbit the latter began to swell,
and in an hour was dead. The meta
morphosed rattler will be kept under
scientific scrutiny for the next few
months.-New York Times.

Where the Drought VIII Pinch.

When drought destroys or reduces
crops everybody pities the farmers on
the mistaken suppesition that they
are the sole losers. AS a matter Of
fact it is the rest of the community
that suffer most from crop short
age. In many cases the farmers gain
rather than lose in the higher prices
they get for the crops which they do
harvest.
The longest drought rarely affects
all crops disastrously The recent
drought in the great corn belt did not
AFFECT the wheat at all except to insure
Its gathering in the best possible con-
Gtion. The unprecedented wheat crop
will command q ready sale at ad-
vanced prices because wheat must be
substituted in a limited degree for
corn. The corn that comes to maturity
will command Il high price because
of its comparative scarcity. Hay, oats
and potatoes will all be high in price
have, in fact, already advanced far
above the average prices at this sea
son of the year. The consumers pay
these advances all along the line and
the farmers profit by them. There
are few American farmers in this
day who stake their entire years
prosperity upon the corn crop. The
up-to-date farmer puts his eggs in
good many baskets. The upsetting of
one of them doesn't leave him without
eggs to carry to market.-Philadelph
Record.

The Indian famincs have afforded
coin collectors many opportunities to
acquire rare and old coins, which nave
lain buried for great number Of
years. The native has always shown
Il very grave suspicion of banks, and
has usually preferred TO bury coins in
what was considered a safe spot
Those hiding places are revealed by
father to son, and the accumulations
sometimes go Oh for generations. In
dire extremity the hoard has to bn
trespassed on; coins which have long
since become exceedingly rare are
thus brought to light, and are eagerly
snapped up by collectors. Many of
them are being sold in London at the
present time.-London Chronicle.

Prehistoric Bones Found.

The Carnegie Museum at PittsbuEg
will shortly receive consignment
from one of It's collectors, Mr.. Peter
son. which will probably cause i'm
portant discussion In the scientific
world. Mr.. Petersen has discovered
in and below the bed of creek run
ming near Harrison, Neb., six skele-
tons, perfectly preserved by petref-
cation. These are the bones of horses,
beyond possibility of scientific refuta-
ton, but from their size they prove
conclusively that the prehistoric horse
as it appears nowadays.
Although the skeletons have not
been set up by Mr.. Petersen, they
are complete. From the measure
ments taken 1t is apparent that the
horses of the time when these were
alive We're about the size Of a two
months-old colt of the present day.
Mr.. Peterson found the skeletons
while prospecting for relics for the
museums. A small bone, seemingly
an ordinary stone, gave him the first
clue. Following up his find, he ar
rived at point indicating to his sci
entific discernment that more bones
were to be found by digging. Three
of the skeletons were found one above
the other, though short distance
apart laterally. The other three were
in difTerent parts Of the creek bed.-

keep on pesterin' him when he's so
near gone, but this here soup'll feel
good when 1t once gifts inside him."
When the kettle was empty the soup
was impartially distributed over Mrs.
Wigs and the patient, but goodly
amount had "got insde.- and already
the horse was losing his rigidity.
Only once did Billy pause in his
work, and that was to ask:
"Ma, what do you think I'd better
name him?"
Giving names was one of Mrs.
Wiggs's chief accomplishments, and
usually required much thoughtful con-
sideration, but in this case, If there
was to be a christening, it must be at
once.
"Pd like Biography name" suggested
Billy, feeling that nothing was too
good to bestow on his treasure.
Mrs. Wiggs stood with the soup
dripping from her hands, and earnest,
ly contemplated the horse. Babies,
pigs, goats and puppies had drawn
largely on her supply OF late, and geo.
graphy names were scarce. Suddenly
thought struck her:
"Ill tell you what, Billy, We'll call
him Cuby! It's town 1 heard 'em
talllin' bout at the grocery"
BY this time the tallow was melted,
and Mrs. Wiggs carried it over to the
horse and put each of his hoofs into
the hot liquid, while Billy rubbed the
legs with all the strength of his young
arms.
"That's right" she said. "Now you
run home an git that piece of carpet
by my bed, an we'll kiver him up. I
am goin' to git them fence rails over
yonder to keep the fire goin'"
Through the long night they worked
with their patient, and when the first
glow of morning appeared in the east
a triumphant professions wended its
way across the Cabbage Patch. First
came woman bearing sundry pals,
kettles and bottles; next came very
sleepy little boy leading a trembling
old horse, with soup all over his head,
tallow on his feet and strip of rag
carpet tied about his middle.
Thus Cuby, like his geographical
namesake, emerged from violent or
deal of reconstruction with a mangled
constitution, internal dissension, n de-
clded preponderance of foreign ele-
ment, but firm and abiding trust in
the new power with which his for
tunes had been irrevocably cast.

Dirt, disorder and general careless
ness has always been associated with
the public's idea of the appearance of
a country newspaper office. This idea
has been fostered more or less by the
would-be humorous articles and pic
lures of newspaper offices and news
paper editors which appear, and have
been appearing for years, in current
publications. 1t IS about time to cor
rect this impression, as it is no longer
true of the majority Of newspaper
offices. A new era of order and care
full, clean management has been inau-
gurated. 1t does not pay to be a
sloven, and newspaper publishers have
found it out.-The Journalist.

A Musolino Craze,

The seeming impossibility of catch
ing the brigand Musolino, for whose
capture large price has been offered
by the Government, has led to n con-
siderable "AIusolino literature" Pro-
fessor Bertolini, of Bari, says that
in that town alone three "lives" of the
brigand have appeared, and that in all
he is described as perfect gentle
man." Boys in the street play at
"Musolino," armed with knives, mari
onette theatres perform plays, Of
which the bl.igand is the hero, to ap-
plaudinG audiences and generally in
South Italy he is considered the VIC
tim OF society.
Not long ago the Syndic OF Africo,
Musolino's native place, went to Rome
to petition the Government in favor of
his countryman. Nusolino promised
TO give himself up to the police il
the Government would guarantee an
inquiry into his first trial, when. as
he says, he was condemned wrong
fully, being then an innocent man.
This was refused and the bandit is
still outlawed and-still uncaught.-

The Klondike is already feeling the
evil effects of forest denudation. Since
the discovery of gold there the sparse
ly timbered hills of the district have
been stripped of all tree growth to
fill the extraordinary demands for
fuel in mining operations and other
purposes. The hills for many miles
around all OF the productive creeks are
now bare, and the ground being thus
exposed the snow accumulated during
the winter quickly melts in the early
summer. This year there has been an
carly and prolonged drought in con-
sequence and the prospective output
of gold has been reduced from $780,
100000, the original estimates, to $20,-
100000, because of the lack OF water
to wash the aurlferous eartL.

AN AUTUMN SONG.

Again the old heraldic pomp
OF autumn on the hills;
A scarlet pageant in the swamp;
Low lyrics from the rills;
And rich altar in the air
That Orient morn .distills.
Again the tapestry of haze
OF amethystine dye
Encincturing the horizon ways;
And from the middle sky
The iterant, reverbant call
OF wild geese winging by.
ArHin the viols of the wind
Attuned to one soft theme
Here, every burden left behind,
o love, would it not seem
A near approach to paradise
To dream and dream and dream!
