passed through sea snakes for 100
miles. Dr. Becker computes that there
were at least 5000 OF them to each
square mile, and that if the school
of serpents was as broad as it was
long, there must have been 50,000,O00
of them. In this case, as was the case
Of the Osingwold. the sea. literally and
exactly speaking, was alive with them.
Utter fearlessness is distinguishing
characteristic of sea snakes, and 1t
adds no little to the danger that is to
be apprehended from them, for it often
leads them to attack fishermen or
swimmers, and even to climb up the
anchor chains and through the hawser
holes of vessels and to attack their
crews. And as the bite of every one
of the fifty known varieties is abso-
lutely fatal. there is no little fear felt
of them in the great ocean spaces in
habited by them.
With the exception of the cobra or
the bushmaster of Africa there is no
snake on dry land that kills so swiftly
and as terribly as do the sea snakes.
Owing to their fatal weapons and
their ease and celerity or swimming,
there are practically no enemies that
destroy enough of them to make any
| impression on their numbers.
No snake on land except the coral,
grass and carpet snake is clad so
beautifully as are almost all the Than
atophidia Banded, striped, speckled,
blotched, green, olive, yellow blue and
black, they seem the most beautiful
things that the eye can hope to see
as one watches them swimming and
coiling" far below the surface in the
glorious transparence of the deep blue
Indian Ocean.
There are no cases on record of re-
covery after their bite. Most of the
victims are Malay and other native
fishermen and shore dwellers, and
physicians rarely get to see the vic
tins. Statistics are not kept in thai
part of the world so it is not possible
to ascertain even approximately how
many persons are kned each year
But travellers know there is hardly {
fishing village that has not its tale
of death to tell.
One case to come under the observa
ton of surgeons occurred in the por
of Madras. The captain of a merchan
vessel was bitten by some unknown
creature while he was in bathing, bu
he paid no attention to it. HI

Justice Field and the Book Agent.

Justice Field and the Book Agent.
Several Senator's were discussing in
the cloakroom their experiences in
getting rid of Objectionable visitors.
The talk recalled an episode in the
life of the late Justice Field of the
Supreme Court whose temper was OF
the most irascible kind. He had given
instructions to his servant on GER
tain morning that he was not to be
disturbed. Presently there came
ring at the door bell and an aggressive
book agent appeared.
Il want to see Justice Field" he
said.
you cannot see him." was the reply.
II must see him"
impossible"
The conversation grew more en-
phatic, until finally the persistent
book agents demands echoed through
the house. At that moment Justice
Field, who had been attracted by the
alteration, appeared at the head of
the stairs.
William" he said. in a fiercely
angry tone, show the brazen, infer
nal scoundrel up to me, if you cannot
handle him. | will"
The book agent made no further ef-
fort to break into the Justices pres
ence.

they will not only bite, but try tc kill
their enemies by construction. 1t is
certain that some varieties hold fish
by virtue of their constructive powers
while waiting for the poison to do
its work.
They hunt like hounds, often form
ing a great circle of miles of circun-
ference around a spot that is filled
with prey and gradually closing in as
they devour the fish. Often such hunt
ing lasts for weeks, until the last fish
in that part of the sea has been des-
troYed

Horse back riding has become quite a
fad due perhaps to Ben stocknaan's per-.

are Messrs. Hoidale and Henningsen.
Mr.. Henningsen though he has not been
on horse since the day he used to play
circus with the rest of the boys, has q
regular Gen. Grant pose when he rides
up Broadway, but when he gets out of
sight there are those who say he bends
over just little. Horseback riding is
good exercise and it is too bad that it
has passed so nearly out of fashion.
| A number of men from this city on
Sunday opened another OF Mounds on the

The skeletons are to be put together in
as near perfect shape as possible and
will be on exhibition during the cele-
bration. II is hardly fair that the last
|1epose Of these old warriors should be
thus disturbed but by reason of their
descendants we had trouble therefore
perhaps they should be on exhibition as
good Indians. Most of the bones were
found in position that would indicate
there burial in a setting posture and the
evident maturity of the. corpses when
buried would seem to indicate that the
place was the repose of warriors slain in
battle. No small skeletons were found
and only one piece Of a skeleton of what
seemed to be a dog, gone to keep his
his master company to that happy hunt
ing ground.

exaggerate the facts" said an old-time
gambler to me once. His opinion was
worth something, for he had been long
at his profession, and the index finger Of
his left hand was crooked at the second
joint from constant dealing out OF faro
box. He spoke of famous methods that
have been sued to beat the gamblers
odds by students OF Systems"
A MONT CARLO SYSTEM.
He suggested the plan that was shown
to Leonard Jerome by a .croupier q,
Monte Carlo whereby roulette can be
beaten. Jerome was, perhaps, the most
thorough sportsman that ever lived In
this country. He was sportsman IN the
highest sense Of the word. He founded
the American Jockey Club, and was
deeply interested in everything pertain
ing to honorable, high-grade horse racing.
The croupier at Monte Carlo-and the
croupier is the man who is behind the
tables at the famous European gambling
resort-showed@ Jerome the simplest sys-
TEN on earth to beat the roulette game.
And here it is; If you care to test. 1t,
do so:
It applies only to bets placed on the
black or the red, where even money is
paid. Like anything involving numbers,
it is hard to explain briefly. but the dia-
gram given here will make 1t clear, and II
followed in connection with the explana-.
ton It seems just too easy for anything.
Louis Megargee has told this well
enough to quote him: "A man determines

home or luxurious city residence, Car
rara is used because it lasts longer, never
