REDUCTION OF 40 PER CENT.
Believed This Will Be Recommended
 by Ways and Means Committee.

Washington. Feb. 2o.-The Republican members of the Ways and Means Com mittee were in private conference for three hours this afternoon on the subject Of Cuban reciprocity and although the conference went over without action un- til tomorrow. the members found them selves fo- he first time in possession of a proposition commanding considerable strength and understood to represent the attitude of the administration.
 This proposition was brought forward by Representative Long of Kansas. and authorized the President, when Cuba was prepared to grant 70 per cent reduction in duties on United States exports to the island. to grant to Cuba a similar reduc- ton of 70 per cent on all the products of the island coming to the United States.
 Mir. Longs proposition drew out extend -ed discussion. in which Mir. Payne. the Chairman. and MT. Mccall showed dis position to support 1t.
 It is understood that the issue is likely to be made on this proposition, since 1t is believed to represent the concessions the administration thinks should be granted on each side.

Fertilization is simply the substitu-

molecule of wood or bone decays a
molecule of stone takes its place. This
can only occur when the air, earth or

itated. In the case fof either wood or
bone while decomposition is going on
there yet remains a framework or
fiber, the interstices of which may
gradually be filed by the mineral sub
stance. With flesh, be it human or ami

very rapid decay Of flesh also makes

THE KING SNAKE.

NE Ts the Deadly Enemy Of Every
Poisonous Reptile.
or all kind provisions Of nature per-
haps the manner In which snakes are
brought into the world Is the most re-
markabfe. AS a rule all harmless
snakes are hatched from eggs, arriv-
ing In patches Of from thirty to eighty.
The poisonous snakes, on the other
hand, are born In litters of from seven
to eleven in number. There are ex-
ceptions to the rule, Of course, but
they are few and unimportant, for,
though the deadly king cobra lays her
eggs to be hatched by the sun, they
are few in number, unlike the colonies
deposited by the harmless snakes.
Chief among the enemies OF the
snakes are the reptiles themselves
Cannibalism is general among the crea-
lures, the smaller snake serving as
food to the larger one. But chief Of all
snakes that hunt their own kind for
the pleasure Of slaughter is the long.
slender king snake, constructor by
habit and fash in his movements.
Among all reptiles the king snake
alone may truly be said to be the
friend Of man. He is found through
out the whole south, where the rattler
and moccasin abound, summing himself
and preying for slaughter. Picked up
by human hand, the reptile seems
pleased with the touch. He makes
no effort to escape, but twines about
his captor's arm and makes himself
comfortable.
To the rattlesnake and to every 9TH
er dangerous snake, large or small,
the king snake is terror. The, poison
Of rattler has no more effect ION him
than SO much moonshine. Instructive

lies wholly upon his incredible speed.

movements Of a king snake would
seem instantaneous In a twinkle the
