From the New York Sun.
The Smithsonian Institution authorities
say that more varieties of poisonous snakes
are found in Arizona than in any other
part of the United States. The best au-
thority on Arizona snakes is believed to
be Graham Peck, who has been studying
them for years.
mo other region in the United States is
SO much of a natural breeding ground for
the rattlesnake as is southern Arizona"
he said the other day. The rocks of the
mountains and foothills are of heavy vel
low and gray color and the soil Is SO like
the hues of a RATHER that a snake can move
slowly along and hardly be perceived by a
person fifty feet away. The hot, dry air
and the warm sandy earth and the i'm
mense quantity of small birds and ground
squirrels in the mountain canons and brush
all combine to make life for rattlesnakes in
this region one of rare ease and comfort
There are literally tens of thousands of
rattlers in the sage brush and chaparral
along the edge Of southern Arizona wastes
They grow to enormous size and II is COM

America say that thunder snakes are COM
mon in Texas. New Mexico and Arizona
They are really uncommon in the terri
tories. They are prairie reptile and are
often encountered by prairie travellers, es-
pecially before and after thunderstorms.
Flashes of lightning and claps of thun-
der, which are terrifying to bipeds and quad
rupeds, seem to have a charm for these
members of the ophidian family. When
ever thunderstorm comes up these snakes
come crawling out of holes, from behind
rocks and rotten stumps and enjoy the
fun while it lasts. The coach whip is re-
markable for its tremendous length and
surprising speed. 1t is cream clay COL

crushing sheep. dogs and coyotes.

length it was seen to be a shoulder blade

length it was seen TO be a shoulder blade
of some immense animal.
Bones already uncovered are shoulder
blade, with socket for articulation of leg
bone. The socket is as large as the crown
of mans derby hat; hip bone. a section
of the backbone, containing four vertebrate;
sections of both ends of the backbone; a
knee cap or bone from that part of the leg;
nine ribs and some other bones. The ribs
are four feet three inches long and four
inches wide: the vertebrate are from two
and one-half to three inches thick and nine
inches in diameter, making the spinal col
umn as large a telegraph pole. The
bones are hard and almost perfectly pre-
served, making the specimen easy to
mount. 1t is proposed to have all the re-
mains that are found articulated. mounted
and the missing ones applied to show the
complete skeleton.
Two mastodon skeletons have been pre-
viously found in Chautauqua county-one
near Jamestown many years ago, and the
second few years ago near Sheridan. In
both cases decay was far advanced. The
ground where this latest find was made
was about ten feet below the general level.
and the first bone was two feet below the
surface.

Our Pupilage to Europe.
san FRANCISCO Chronicle

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
In many things We may remain in pupil
age to Europe foE some time to come
There are great lessonssto be learned we
cannot afford to overlook; but the useful
hints are too often lost on US, while we
servilely bow to modes foreign to our gen.
ius. The most inventive people on the earth
cannot yet trust itself tecdevise a hat or
glove suitable to it's climate and needs. Our
faculty of snowy assimilation has left out
the most essential facts Of life. Could we
copy the acknowledgements of the old world
the modes of cleaning and paving great
cities, the honest administration of city
and town government by the noblest cit
liens, the precautions taken to protect life
on railroads. the rules against overcrowd-
ing public vehicles, large measures of COM
fort, safety and convenience would be as

Head, Brains and Genius.

From the Cosmopolitan.
1t has long been a popular belief, espee-
tally since the invention of phrenology,
that the size and shape Of the head are in
timately related to the intellectual capac-
ity. Almost everybody is accustomed to
form dogmatic judgments of men based
upon this postulate. But the results of
statistical invest :gation make it appear
very doubtful whether the belief in ques-.
ton rests upon a sound foundation. The
conclusion is that there exists, in the gen.
eral population. very insignificant core
lation between ability and either the size
or the shape of the head Very brilliant
men may have slightly larger head than
the average, but the increase is so small
that no weight can be laid on il in our
judgment of ability. This is In accord with
the results of other attempts to apply a
scientific test to the assumptions Of phren-
ology.

Recent Discovery of Large Skeleton in

From the Buffalo Courier.

From the Buffalo Courier.
Workmen excavating in the rear of the
residence of Mrs. Alice Peacock at West
field discovered the remains of masto-
don. The bones thus far exposed are in an
almost perfect state of preservation, and
indicate that the animal was very large
one. The site of this find, which is consid-
cred of much geological scientific import
ance, is near the Peacock residence at the
corner of Jefferson and Franklin streets,
Westfield. Mrs. Peacock was preparing to
clean out a swampy place and transform
it into fish pond. Work on the excaVa-
ton had been begun and trench two feet
deep was made. when some substance diff
ferent from the soil was found.

State Teachers Association

The object of this organization
is to make good teachers for Vir-
ginia, and that being accomplished
god schools will necessarily fol-
low. Good buildings and equip
ment are very well, but they are
not as necessary as good teachers,
and that all teachers may improve
and keep in touch with the rapid
educational advancement is the
idea of the association.
That every teacher may receive
benefit, it is desired that local or
carnations be made in every coun-
ty. Mr.. e. E. Dalton was presi-
dent of the Highland organization
last year, and it is said very good
work was accomplished. 1t should
be again placed in working order
