Beautiful Tree snokes

Among the most attractive of the
many kinds Of serpents are the delicate
and beautiful tree snakes (dendrophis).
which very rarely descend to the
ground, as they find food enough among
the birds and those frogs and lizards
which also dwell in trees. The grace
full form of the body, the elegance and
rapidity of their movements and the
exquisite beauty of their colors have
excited the lively admiration Of those
who have had the good fortune to
watch them in their native haunts. The
larger kinds attain to a length of over
five feet. They are frequently adorned
with the brightest colors. green being,
however, generally the prevailing tint.

A SWORD OF HONOR.
Il WAS tb% Means of bringing Mar
Shal Ney to Death.

ShaI Ney to DeAth.
A sabcr Cf honor brought Marshal
Ney to dishOnOr and death. When Ma
poleon entered Cairo on the 22d of July,
fG93, he was presented with three
swords Of honor richly inlaid with pre-
ciOus stones He brought them back
TO Europe, and in 1902 he gave one to
Ney and another to Murat, Keeping the
third for himself. Ney received his at
an imperial reception. The sword
passed from one to another of those
present, among whom was young
subaltern of the Auvergne regiment.
When Napoleon escaped from Elbe,
Ney left the king and took sides with
his former chief. After the allies en-
tered Paris. Ney made preparations to
get out of the country, but his wife and
a friend persuaded him that there was
really no danger, and he decided to re-
main in France. Then came the order
for his arrest. He fed to a castle in
the possession of some friends and sue
ceeded in reaching it without his pres
ence being known. One day, feeling
tired. he threw himself on a couch. first
taking off his oriental sword. which he
always wore out of affection for the
emperor Hearing voices, he sprang
up and hurriedly left the room, forget
ting his sword. a minute later a par
ty of women and men entered the room,
one of them being the young subaItern
Of the Auvergne regiment, now a colo
mel. He at once recognized the sword
and, calling in some gendarmes, pro
ceeded to search the premises. Finding
that he was discovered Ney gave him
self up quietly. On Dec. Z, 1915, the
marshal, whose sObriquet was the
Bravest of the Brave, the hero of
hundred battles, was shot. Scarcely
two months after the owner of the sec
Ond sword, Murat, had met his fate in
the same way.

SCIENCE NOTES.

A body weighing one pound on earth

The highest mountain in the moon is
at least $4,000 feet in height; that is
5000 feet higher than Mount Everest.
Nanadium is a rare metal which oxi-
dies in air with great difficulty. melts
at 1000 degrees and becomes red hot in

Perfectly transparent bodies are only
visible by virtue of nonuniform illu-
mination, and in uniform illumination
they become absolutely invisible.
a transit of Venus occurs only four
times in 2S3 years. 1t is most impor-
tant to astronomers because it gives
them an opportunity of measuring the
distance Of the earth from the sun.
The sun and the earth are both prac-
tically spherical in shape. and the earth
IS evidently only a small, cooled off or
frozen sun. The sun has shell of
glowing metallic clouds; the earth has
a shell of solid opaque rocks and

A Hard Hearted Peon1e.

Filial piety finds no place in Tibet
an character. 1t is no uncommon
thing for a son to turn his father. when
too old for work, out of doors and to
leave him to perish in the cold. The
superstition that the souls of the dead
can, if they will, haunt the living
drives their hardened natures to gain
by the exercise of cruelty the promise
of the dying that they will not return
to earth.
As death approaches the dying per-
son is asked, "Will you come back or
will you not" If he replies that he
will, they pull a leather bag over his
head and smother him; if he says he
will not, he is allowed to die in peace

Natures Monument to Washington

Among the many monuments to
Washington is the one which every Wis
itor to the Cape Verde islands will re-
member as one of the most colossal and
marvellous freaks Of natural sculpture
in existence. Along the farther side of
the harbor of San Vicente, the principal
town, rises bold ridge of dark gray
volcanic rocks, the crest of which forms
an exact likeness of our immortal
George, seemingly lying face upward,
as if in peaceful sleep.
The hero's large, bold features. the
backward wave of the hair his mass
i've shoulders and even the frill of the
shirt front are all reproduced on a gi-
gantic scale with wonderful exactness.
The strange monument, sharply out
lined against the deep blue of the trop-
ical sky, is one of the first objects that
meet ones eye in approaching the is
land. Its gigantic proportions, with
the bOundless ocean for a background,
form portrait wonderfully true to ma
ture and OverpOwering in its magnif-
cence.

Saw the Whole of It.

Alexander weeping because the world
was so small has a counterpart in an
OLD inhabitant of Luss, a pretty little
village on LOch LOmond side, Scotland.
who at last has been persuaded to
climb the mountain which has filed so
large a part Of his horizon all the DAYS
OF his life. In Luss he has lived. as his
fathers lived before him. and from
Luss he has never had the ambition to
journey. even as far as Glasgow. But
some one got him to the top of Ben Lo-
mOnd the other day.
"Eh' mon.' said he. with great self
congratulation. but the worlds n big

The paving o tHr road to a very un-
comfortable place is sid to be com
posed of good Intentions. Nowhere else
has this material been tried for paving,
though it is plentiful enough for almost
any purpose. We all know people
whose houses burn when they are
''just going to- insure, who lose ii COW
or a horse when they are 'just going
to- mend the fence OF close tie gate.
who are Just going to" buy stock
when it goes up like rocket, who are
lust going to- pay note when it goes
to protest, who are Just going to- help
a neighbOr when he dies, who are lust
going to- send some flowers to Il sick
friend when it proves too late. In fact,
they are Just going to- do things all
their lives, but never get them started.
ITO be always intending to live a
new life, but never to find time to set
about it," says Tillotson, lis as if a
man should put off eating and drinking
until he is starved to death"
Under every clock in a factory at
Cleveland, o., is the motto. DO it
nOw!' Such a motto, lived up to by
every one, would spare the world much
trouble. 1t would add thousands of
good deeds to daily happenings, save
many firms from bankruptcy through
bad debts, paint hundreds of pictures
only dreamed of, write books without
number and straightcn out half the
tangles of our complicated social life.
The habit of putting off diSagreeable
duties is responsible for much needless
unhappiness, for these bugbearS weigh
on the mind and prevent the satisfied
content that comes from duty well per
formed. Most tasks promptly under
taken prove less difficult than we antic-
1pated, and the joy of accomplishment
often compensates for any hardship ex-
perienced.
Don't get to be known for unfulflled
good intentions. Good intentions car
ried out become the good deeds that
make men useful, loved and famous.
Doing things rather than just planning
them makes all the difference between
success and failure.-Success.

This country is not the only one
