uenl Sen scrpruts

In New Caledonia sea scrpents are
frequently seen and sometimes cap
tured. They are curious creatures the
head being very small and scarcely
dlstlnGuishable from the body and the
tail being formed like an oar. In length
they are generally between three and
four feet.
In the jaw there are tiny glands con
tanning poison; but. as the mouth is
very small. IL is difficult for them 10
bite. ana the natives handle them fear
lessly.
VI. Kermogant, European traveller,
witnessed an experiment at Noumea
which shows that under certain condi.
tlons the sea serpent can do deadly
work. A rat was caught I'm trap,
and its tongue was grasped 10y pair
OF pinchers and placed In the mouth Of
sea serpent. The serpent immedi.
ately bit II, and the rat died in four
minutes

Character In the Ears.

Though there may be countcracting
features and signs upon the face ears
that are disproportionately large. fat
and red bcspcak a coarscncss of ma.
turc, sometimes sensuality and dissipa-
tion.
Ears that stand out from the head
like flaps are often seen on religious
men, but pdrsimony is apt to go with
them.
A long shaped but small ear lying
close TO the head denotes refinement,
delicacy or perception. but also timidlty
and sensitiyeness. A thin. transparent
looking ear shows dellcacy and poetic
feeling; n thick ear, the reverse. An
ear set rather low on the head denotes
good brain capacity; set high or on a
level with the eye, limited mental ca.
pacity is denoted.-xmerlcan Queen.

NOMINEE DIES AT HOUR
BALL0TING COMMENCES
Name Of Candidate for Town Clerk on
Both Republican and Demo-
cratic Tickets.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Dee. ALBERT
H. Domke died Of typhoid fever In West
Haven yesterday morning just as bal
loting on his name for borough clerk
began.
Domke was tho nominee for that Office
on the Republican ticket and was after
ward indorsed By the Democrats. so
that his name was the only one nomi-
mated for the Office on either ticket.
His death causes a complication In the
annual borough election The political
managers are not sure that any OF the
votes cast viii be legal although they
express a firm belief that only those
cast for Domke viii be void Some voters
say they viii paste his name and then
declare elected the man they paste over
DOmke's name.
The political managers allowed the
election TO proceed and viii call a
special election in two OF three weeks
for borough clerk on the ground that
there was no election yesterday for that
Office.

RECITAL BY LADIES'
QUARTET LAST NIGHT

The Ladies' String Quartet and the
Lyric Quartet made their initial app
pearances of the season last night in a
joint recital at the Washington Club. In
view of the evident care with which the
cXccllen. program had been prepared IL
seemed unfortunate that the inclemeut
weather prevented many from attending
the concert Although the audience was
small one. there was no lack OF APP
probation for the work Of the musicians
Haydn's G major quartet for strings
served as the opening number. and those
who have heard the members of the
quartet would have had no reason for
disappointment IN the reading Of this
composition It's four movements were
played with delicacy. precision and ac-
curacy. The adagi0 sosteuuto. melodious
and even. and the menuetto were par
ticuIarly well given. Another group by
the quartet included a characteristic
Porto Rican dance. "Tu y 70" by Mis-
Ian. Schumann's familiar "Tracumerei"
and Bcethoven's "Menuet" In these. as
is the cartier numbers. the young artists
exhibited the clear cut work of the
musician.
