Senator Plat, of New York, is quoted
as declaring in the most positive terms
that the coal strike will be settled with
in the next two weeks. The matter was
brought up. says the Herald, by a, query
as to how New York Republicans intended
to treat the strike in their State platform.
"It will not be an issue in the cam
paign.' replied the Senator. 1T will be
settled within week.
How will it be settled? viii there
be arbitration or will an agreement be
reached between the miners and the
operators?" was asked.
81 cannot tell you how it will be set
tled," Senator Plat replied, but there
will be no coal sold at $40 ton this
winter It will surely be settled within
week. or at the longes twithin two
weeks from this time
The New York Senator has the reputa-
ton of being exceptionally shrewd, par.
! ticularly in politico-industrial ond com
mercial affairs, and he is doubtless in
| formed regarding the subject on which
| he is quoted 1t is certainly very much
| to be hoped that he is right.

fact, there seems to be a special law Of
nature which makes newspaper offices
shockingly untidy.

COMFORT BRINGS CASH.
Why Dairymen Should Always Have
SuccuIent Feed on Hand to
Help Out the Pasture.

There is a direct connection be-
the cash received by her owner. This
factor of comfort may be made more
important by having combined with
it the additional factor of succulent
feeri. This is especially the case
when cows are on pasture, in which
case their digestive systems have
adapted themselves to the succulent
nature of the foods. In case of a
storm lasting for days, or of any
mishap that makes it necessary to
take the animals off the pasture, the
substitution for that pasture grass
of dry hay always causes loss in the
flow of milk and in the production Of
butter fat. Every dairyman should
have on hand silage, sugar beets, or
some other succulent feed to help
out the pasture whenever necessary.
The Importance of this is shown by
an experience at the Arizona eXper-
iment station, as told by the direct
or: The 18th, 18th and 10th days Of
November, 1900, were rainy days.
From the day before to the day aft
er the rains the amount of milk de-
livered at the creameries fell off ten
per cent. In the same time the milk
from our own herd decreased 81 per
cent, and continued to decrease I'm
til it had reached so per cent. II
then took the COWS a month to get
back to where they were before the
rain. The week of the storm and that
following, two of the six cows had
sugar beets in addition to their pas
ture. During these two weeks the
four cows having pasture alone fell
off 46 per cent. in amount of butter
fat given, while the two having beets
fell off only 20 per cent. Here is
to be noted not only the effect of the
storm, but the effect of feed as we'll;
the cows having sugar beets during
the storm falling off less than half
as much in their butter fat as did
those on pasture alone.

ELEPHANTS LIKE SNOW,
A Troop of Trained Pachyderms
Gives an ImprOmptu Show at
Hartford, Conn.

A troop of trained elephants have
been performing at Hartford, Conn, re-
Gently, says the Courant, and after the
big snowstorm they gave an i'm
promptu entertainment out of doors.
1t seems that though natives of warm
climate no animal loves snow better
not even the polar bear. Prof. Lock
hardt was tellingsome gentlemen about
this, and finally invited half dozen to
visit the stables where the animals are
CHARTERED. The party found the stable
yard filled with snow, and two or three
large drifts piled up. Mr.. Locllhardt
told the stableman to let the elephants
out in the yard, after telling his friends
to post themselves high up in the wag-
ons under thes beds; Then Prof. Lock
hardt told the elephants they could
have just as much fun in the snow as
they wished. They Immediately rushed
for the highest drifts, and made the
snow fly in a decidedly lively manner,
The beasts would take large quantities
of snow up in their trunks, and seemed
to find great delight in throwing it as
high as possible, letting it fall upon
their backs. Then they began snow
balling, and schoolboys never took
more delight than these huge animals,
rearing on their hind legs, trumpetipg,
and giving signs of intense satisfaction
every time one gave another trunkful
of snow in the face. At length Mr.
Lockhardt told the largest of the quar-
tette to lie down, and then permitted
the other elephants to cover her over
with snow, which they did with much
deXterity. At word the big elephant
arose, shook off the snow, and amid
trumpetings and general excitement
the animals were returned to the barn.
The feats at the Coliseum were gone
through with that evening with much
speed and vim, and Mr.. Lockhardt said
he thought the snowballing of the
afternoon had really done the ele-
plants good.

THE CHA MONSTER.
Long Supposed to Be Most Venomous'
1t Has Been Discovered to Be
Quite Harmless.

For wears wonderful stories have
been published about the gila mon
ster. but these stories have been more
startling than truthful, according TO
an article in Country Life in America,
from which publication the following
account of the much dreaded reptile is
reproduced:
Little is known of this curious lizard,
and probably on account OF the ter
rible stories told of the agonizing
death struggles of hunters or Indians
bitten by this deadly animal con-
tinuous war has been waged on 1T, until
now it is almost extinct. 1t is report
ed to be so fearfully poisonous that
it's breath is supposed to be fatal to
those inhaling it.
AS compared with the gila monster,
the rattlesnake is considered almost
harmless by those residing in the To-
cality inhabited by these dreaded
pests People in a rattlesnake country
seem to become accustomed to them
and lose the fear borne by the ord
nary individual dispatching large rat
tiers with a small stick, horsewhip or
any handy implement; the holder
sometimes handling the rattlers while
alive. Really, it is not difficult to tame
a rattler so it will recognize its mas
ter, and unless a quick movement is
made TO brighten it it can be safely
handled.
People who seemingly handle rat
tier with impunity never lose their
fear of the gia monster, the MeXicans
and Indians holding the most fearful
and terrible superstitions regarding
it.
While the gila monster inhabits
dry, waterless region, when near wa
ter it makes frequent trips to obtain
drink, and, like the salamander, it is
supposed to stand any amount of heat.
This is a false idea in both cases. The
heloderma is always found shaded
from the direct days of the sun, quick

The poor farmer sticks to the poor
COW and imagines that he is making
money out of her. Fortunately for
that kind of cow, the said kind of
farmer has strong imagination-one
that does not have to have facts to builo
upon. If the farmer got to demanding
proofs of the value of HIS poor cow
it would be the end of the COW. 1t is a
pity that more farmers are not of a
judicial turn of mind. If about half OF
the cows of the country were turned
into COW beef it would be better fol-

ly succumbing if kept in direct hot sun
light. Their movements are slow and
sluggish their disposition retiring;
the digestive organs so arranged that
food or water is required only at long
intervals. Specimens have been known
to live two months without food or
water. The food consists of bugs,
larvae, eggs and young birds; they
are very destructive to quail, particu-
larly relishing the eggs of this bird.
They might be called bulldog lizards,
from the fact that, like bulldog, they
bite quickly and decisively, seldom
missing their mark, and hold on to the
victim with a death-lille grip for long
time. The teeth are about one-third
of an inch in length, curving back
ward in the long jaws, and contrary to
general belief, there are no cavities in
the teeth nor poison glands. Frogs
bitten by this reptile have shown no
i'll effect, and a man severely bitten by
an extremely angry specimen, aside
from severe pain, experienced no more
serious results.
The size of the animal has been va
riously represented to be three feet
long, but of numerous specimens found
the largest did not exceed two feet.
The illustration is from photograph
made from a specimen in Arizona be-
fore its capture.
The Indians will have nothing to do
with the animal, and no offer of gold,
firewater or trinkets, however tempt
ing, will induce them even to be made
a party to the capture of gila mon
ster.
This superstition dates back to the
ancient tribes that inhabited this part
of the country, as shown by carvings
on stones still in existence, represent
ing the figures of men fleeing from
the wrath of a gila monster.

illustration, are very interesting, be-
cause of the way in which they scatter
their seed by shooting or throwing
them forth.
The witch hazel pod is a miniature
cannon loaded with two shining tor
pedo-shaped seeds, which it expels
with remarkable force, often sending
them to distance of 40 feet.
Should you be near bush at the
time it opens a fusillade and feel the
singing sensation of the little mis-
siles on your face and hands, you
might, in ignorance from whence they
came, think that the elves were play
ing on you some of their mischievous
pranks.
The wood-sorrel pod is more sugges-
tive of the shotgun, sending forth nu-
merous seeds at once through little
Sits in its sides.
In the cranes-bill, or wild geranium
we have plant not so ''up to date" in
scattering its seed as the foregoing
two.
In fact, it's method is decidedly
unique, for it uses the principle OF
spring-power, on which the ancient
catapult was built before powder was
discovered. The seeds lie on the ends
of four long springs, and when ripe
these fly up and toss them into the
air.
The vetch has pod like the pea
When this pod has become thorough
ly dry it suddenly splits in two, each
half instantly rolling up spirally with
such energy as to throw forth seeds
