Every inch Of timber over which the

Between one and one and a half tons
of the stuff is required to move the
average battleship. The tallow is
spread on first, to the depth Of about
three fingers. and the workmen use
big, fiat trowels to make the surface
as smooth as possible. Then they pour
over the soft soap, which is just thick

/, Edwin. .c. Eckel Of the New York
| State museum at Albany has compiled
facts which show that in New York
state % kinds of snakes have been
! found, or can reasonably be expected
1 to occur. OF these several are only
varieties, says the New York Sun.
The list OF snakes is as follows: The
worm. snake ringAneckcd snake.
blowing adder green snake. black
snake, racer, pine snake. milk snake.
brown snake, De Kay's brown snake.
three species of garter snakes. copper
head. masasauga or prairie rattlesnake
and the banded rattlesnake. 1t is of
some interest to note that only the last
three of the above list are poisonous.
OF these. the copperhead Is found usu-
ally In marshy or swampy land, while
the banded or common rattlesnake Is
commonly an inhabitant of rocky hills.
The masasaugaa is a smaller species
than the banded rattlesnake and has
never been found In this state except
in one swamp near the Genesee river.
snake are much rarer than Is common
ly supposed, the latter being practic-
ally confined to the Adirondack region
and to those parts of Orange and Rock
land counties which fall within the
highlands of the Hudson, Deaths
from their bite are very rare, probably
not exceeding. in this state. one case
in five years. The copperhead, while
smaller than the rattlesnake, and
therefore less yenomous. Is generally
regarded as the more dangerous of the
two species. This is due to the fact
that the rattlesnake will, in general,
give warning OF his intention to strike.
while the copperhead lies silently and
motionless until his victim is within
reach of his fangs. Though frequently
one sees in print descriptions of meth
ods by which poisonous snakes can be
differentiated from harmless species.
few of the tests commonly given can
sbe applied at a safe distance. and some
of them are not applicable to all OF
our poisonous snakes. For example.
It has been often stated that the pois-
onous snakes have many small scales
covering the tops OF their heads. while
the harmless varieties are covered with
few comparatively large plates. This
is true as far as the banded rattlesnake
is concerned, but both the masasauga
and the copperhead have the large
head-plates like harmless snakes. The
thickness of the body is also. to some
degree, sign of a poisonous snake.
but the harmless blowing adder also
possesses this peculiarity. The head
OF the poisonous snakes is very mark
edly triangular, looked at from above.
while the neck is comparatively thin
and well marked Off from both body
and head. In the harmless species on
the contrary. the head is more or less
unmarked. Cu.Il 1

Mmdue Fear OF
ss ~ NyjJd .ImimaEs

OF all questions asked by people who
have never been much out of doors none
seems so simple to the old-trues IA that
which concerns the dangers to which the
camper may be exposed from the attacks
Of wild beasts. 1t is chiefly women and
children who ask such Ghestions, but 1t
is evident that In the brains of many in
experienced persons is firmly established
a belief that wild animals are dangerous
that wolves, panthers and bears prowl
about seeking whom they may devour.
This belief is in all probability survival
in part of earlier days, when the most
civilized men dwelt largely in the East,
where might be encountered lions. which
would attack them, or hyenas ready to
snap up the stray child wandering away
from the camp or bears of the type en-
counterede by the irreverent infants who
apostrophized Elisha, and also in part of
that time when the weapons of primitive
man were so feeble and of so little avail
against the wild beasts that these were
justly to be feared.
This feeling already existing Is encour-
aged and strengthened by certain
amount of the writing OF the lay. The
average man and woman love to read n
bear or panther or wolf story not less
dren listen with pleasure to the tales OF
some venerable uncle or grandfather who
relates the story of the wolves that used
to howl about his cabin or visit his sheep
fold when first he settled in the country.
In this land IF America, as many know,
there are such things as dangerous
animals. though there are creatures
which may be made dangerous. The
wolf. the bear and the cougar are far
moro anxious to get away from man
than man is to get away from them.
says Forest and Stream. If given the
opportunity they will always slip away
and run and II they fight 1t is because
they believe that they have been cut off
from every avenue OF escape Where an
animal has been wounded 1t is a different
matter. Prudence is forgotten and the
animal acts on impulse. instead Of doing
what II knows to be wise: hut even
there is much more danger from
wounded deer than from "A woupded pan
ther. and vastly mere from o wounded
moose. q d
But for the average man who is tray
cling through n new country where Wild
animals may be plenty, who stops when
he has made days march and is at
home whers night finds him. there IS not
now nor ever was more danger from the
lightnings which blaze In the summer
sky. Many more people have been killed
by lightning than have been run over
by stampeding buffalo herds or killed
by unwounded grizzly bears or by all
the other animals of the prairie put to-
getber. One might alniost say that more
people have been struck by falling me-
teorites than have been killed by pan
theirs and wolves. And yet from day to
day the newspapers continue to print
bear stories. caiamount stosies and wolf
stories, and probably they will do so
until long after the bear. catamount and
wolf shall have disappeared from tho
land.

Doctors Diseases Almost Unconquerahie.
That medical practitioner who as
pires to reach the Scriptural age of
threescore and ten will be discouraged
at the figures which have been COM
piled by Alfred Moeglich. one of those
Germans given to the habit of disa-
greeable statistics. According to Moes-
Itch the average time of death for a
doctor varies from So to 56 years.
while for the clergy 1t is ten years
later. The combination Of pedagogy
with medicine appears to be particu-
larly fatal, for one set of figures in
which the normal death rate is repre-
sented by 100 gives Ill as the factor
for physicians, and 1888 for medical
instructors. or the causes of death in
fectious diseases rank highest, and
among these typhoid fever occupies
so. prominent place as almost to
entitle 1t to characterization MS an oc-
cupation disease. tuberculosis comes
next. the death rate from this cause
among physicians being almost dou-
BILE that OF the clergy. Altogether 1t
is rather a melancholy fact to realize
that the men whose life work 1t Is to
teach others how to keep their health
or to regain it II lost, should them
selves be unable to profit by their own
knowledge, and should be so complete
ly at the mercy Of the great bodily
and mental stress to which their call
