MANILA RAT TRAPS.
One Consists of Small Boy With
a Big Snake on His Arm.
From the Manila Volcano.

From the Manila Volcano.
Have you seen the big snake and the
small boy? Well, they will be around
to see you.
1t is displeasing combination. but
one whose aims possess quadruple
eualities-may be likened to game of
cards-high. low, jack and the game.
The mission of boy and snake is high
the conservation of the public health:
the calling low-the catching OF rats;
the bo, s name is Jack-and the game?
Well, it's both rodents and bounty.
The manner in which the boy,
through the snakes eXertions, comes
in possession of rats and bounty is
unique. The boy, with the reptile on
his arm and gunnysack in hand, enters
the court of residence and usually
after much palaver in Corrupt Ian
guage secures permission TO begin the
crusade. With vigilant and keen eye
he inspects the premises. In this in
spection he displays training the most
systematic and acute-the gamin can
discover rat hole quicker than d
semi-nude savage on the firing line
hot in escape from American occupa-
tion and Amer lean solGiery.
But the finding by Jack of one hole,
while it pleases, doesn't satisfy his am
bitiou he wants to find two-one Of
entrance, the other of egress. When
he has located to his satisfaction the
two holes he uncOils the repulsive
creature from his arm and planting
both feet upon it brings forth from
hidden recess of trousers a small net.
the meshes of which are very fine.
While the serpent wriggles and twists
and darts forth IRON a muzzle its fork
ed ton ne Jack, by crafty dexterity,
places the net over the reptiles head
and securely fastens it with sinew
This done, the snake resumes its arm
hol1 and is conveye ed TO one OF the
holes. The boy squats and forces the
head of the creature into the hole.
The snake by some unknown force
instinct or something else--is certainly
appraised of what its master wants. for
its BODY slowly enters the hole and
disappears. The small, embrowned
COY runs to the other hole, places the
sack over it and awaits the result with
an anxious what-will-the harvest be
look on his countenauce.
Sometimes the Buys face CLOVIS with
triumph, .capitalistic for number of
rats scamper into the bag; sometimes
neither rats nor snake appear, and
then the boy feels bad Nothing re-
mains for him to do but wait He does
so and his patience is finally rewarded
by ohe appearance Of the snake, whose
hunt has been without quarry.
The boy is SO small aud the snake SO
big that ne has grown lop-sided in car
rviny it ahout-for it is always coiled
on the right arm.

Oceans Many Microbes.

At no particular spot has the sea
been found TO be free from organisms,
although those isolated and recognized
have proved to be harmless. consisting
of active motile rods and vibrios,
cocci being less numerous AS might
be expected. the number of organisms
increases immensely as the shore Is
approached. Thus about mile from
the shore something like 1000 germs
per cubic centimeter have been found {.
AMI this influence of the shore extends
for four or five miles. Some hundreds
of miles from land the number dimin
ishes TO 600 and at greater distances TO
200 or less.

A Poem from the Battlefield.

The Camilla Enterprise says that
during the war Georgia soldier, in
camp near the home of his sweetheart,
sent her a boouet with card attach
ed upon which was the following po-
etic effusion:
Accept this bokay from Teller
Who oft has herd the kanons beller:
Has listened to the flies a-tOoten,
And helped to do a heep o. shooter;
Has seen the war clouds darkly rise
Like drove of black birds in the skize;
Who now is bigger than his dad,
And wants TO marry nifty bad.

''Take care of the pennies and the
bounds will take care of themselvs."
Large things are but an aggregation
of small things. If we take cGre of
small things we are in effect taking
care of the large things, which the
small things combine to make.
Take care of what You eat. when
you eat, and how you eat, and your
stomach will take care of itself. But
who takes care of such trivial things
That is why, some day, the majority of
people have TO take care of the stom-
ach. When that day comes there is
no aid so effective in undoing the re-
suits of past carelessness as DR..

of other ailments which are but the
symptoms of disorder in the stomach

THE LONG BURIED TREASURE
Many Lives Lost in Seeking the
Montezumas' Hidden Millions.

The long-buried millions of Monte
yuma may some day be found in the
hills of Yucatan, near Lake Chichan-
kanabe, says an exchange. ltsis esti-
mated that the fund still unaccOunted
for amounts to 100000, 900, 900 pesos,
worth in our gold about $3.50, 00O,000,-
900. This mysterious fund has been
growing these 600 years, starting at
something like 100000 pesos. Many
lives HAYES have been lost in the i'm
penetrable forests of Oaxaca, Chlapas,
Guatemala and Hondu in the search
for this treasuee, which, in the opin-
ion of most folks, is amyth. Last year
a young explorer from Chicago declar-
ed thai he had traced its hiding place
to the vicinity of Quezaltepeque, which
is at the case of the Mirandon noun
tans. Here he contracted the scouree
and barely escaped with his life.

On the banks of the Potomac above
GEORGETOWN and across the wide sur
face Of that stream and in the vicinity
of the spot where a successful test
was recently made of system OF
wireless telephony there was held the
other night a private demonstration
of another system Of wireless vocal
communication, differing widely from
the first in methods of operation, in
principles involved, in results attain
ed and in the scope and effect of the
discovery upon existing methods OF
voice transmission, says a dispatch
from Washington to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. The Hertzian electric earth
currents, of which advantage was
taken in the first system through the
use of steel rods driven into the
ground, answering the purpose of the
ground wire in ordinary telephony.
are not used in the new system.
Electricity, the basic principle OF all
present methods of wireless telegra-
ply and telephony, does not enter, eX-
cept as an adjunct, into the principles
of the new method. A powerful cleo
trio searchlight is fitted with COM
plicated and delicate apparatus, ter
minating in mouthpiece not unlike
that used on an ordinary telephone
box. The broad ribbon of radiance
projected by the lamp serves as a
wire, and q funnel shaped arrange
ment, fitted with a continuance termi-
mating in an ear cup, takes the place
of the ordinary telephone receiver.
In the test messages were sent along
the rays of the searchlight and record
ed up to the distance of half mile.
Beyond that distance sounds were au-
dible, but connected words could not
be distinguished. Considering the i'm
projections naturally attendant upon a
first test of the complicated mechanism
of the invention. the test was highly
satisfactory to the inventor.
In working upon the "searchlight tel
ephone" the inventor followed literally
the axiom that light is heat" The
test was private. only few friends of
the inventor being present. A search
light such us is used OIL the river boats
was carried up the stream to point
where feed wire of the electric car
line which follows the north bank OF
the river had been tapped in readiness
for the test and a wire run down to
the river bank. The searchlight was
connected with the wire, and the boat
then took the receiving apparatus to a
point on the opposite bank about half
q mile away.
When all was ready, the current was
turned on, and after some little trouble
the other end of the ''line" was locat-
ed Then followed the tests. which
furnish food for conjecture concerning
the possibilities of the invention as re
