jungle-terror in which to conduct their
queer ceremonies, the room in most
cases being but ten or twelve feet
square.
In many instances these singular
structures are Surmounted by a low
dome, or pyramidal spire, converting
them into temples of some pretensiOns.
What strange rites may here take
place! What rich blessings may be
ascribed by the fanatical worshippers
to the rude craven images enthrOned
within these narrow confines-images
which to their misguided minds bear
all the attributes Of the Deity.
Tradition claims that in former ages
these cell-like places were but the
abode Of hermits; their use as places
of public worship being Of recent date.
In that event it would be interesting
to know more about their origin. 1t
hardly seems possible that one man,
even though as a hermit he spent all
his life at the work, could have cut
from the solid rock the shapes we now
see. Is 1t then possible that, like the
hermit crab, these traditional refuses
were merely occupying the cast Off
shells of another age? That the real
artificers who wrought these queer
shaped rock temples were Of an age
prior, even, to the dawn Of tradition?

With a singularity due to their racial
habits and religious customs, the Bud

of architecture; and nowhere is this
more pronounced than In their places
Of worship. Among the many strange
forms of devotional structures which
are the result of their peculiar taste,
the rockcut caves of these religious
enthusiasts are prominent for unique
ness of design.
One Of the most important Of these
caves Is that at Cuttack, which is
called the Tiger cave. One end of a
large mass Of rock has been so carved
as to represent the head of this fierce
animal Deep within the mouth, the
upper jaw of which forms protecting

strange place of worship. Despite the

CAT AND DOCS HAVE RIGHTS.

Two cases of dogs attacking children
indicate that it is not always safe to
permit very young children to have
dogs and cats as playfellows. 1t is GER
tainly a cruel experience for the poor
little animals, especially kittens, who
are frequently subjected to various
forms of torture by the not always kind
child. The upshort of a display Of par
donable practical resentment on the
part of the animal is followed by terror
on the part of the parents. who imme-
diately conclude that hydrophobia Is
the Inevitable fate of the wounded
child. This is, of course, pure nonsense,
but the fright of the parent is as in
tense as if the hydrophobic fiction were
truth, says Vogue.
The family cat and dog have rights
which should be respected, and among
the millennium happenings will be a
realization of the proper treatment of
these domestic pets that dN so much to
gladden. human life. Public opinion,
that slow ethical growth, still sanctions
the abuse of animals, but the leaven is
at work and the day Of the animals re-
demtpion will come. 1t must be con-
fessed that to the animal lover the
process seems slow.

NEW WAY TO KILL SNAKES.

A new condition of animal life has
developed on Indian Island, in the
State of Maine. AS the Indians who in
habit the island never kill anything
they do not eat, and as they eat
neither squirrels nor snakes, both of
these species have multiplied greatly
of late years, and they have become as
common as grasshoppers and as I'M
afraid of man.
1t came about in this way: The
natural food of the large striped snake
consists of insects with now and then a
plump frog or toad for holiday
feast. AS the Indians do not Kill
snalkes-unless they are very hungry
the reptiles increased so fast on the
island that all the frogs and toads and
most of the insects were exterminated,
compelling the snakes to eat chip
hunks or starve.
They chose the chipmunks. Though
these small squirrels are found all over
the island they are most plentiful in
the little cemetery at the south end.
The big striped snakes soon learned
wher game was thickest and began to
make raids upon the undefended holes
of the squirrels, atching them by the
legs as they passed in and out, sWal-
lowing them whole as they do frogs.
For five or six years the struggle for
mastery between the chipmunks and
the snakes was a hard one.
The ratio between the two was de-
cided in favor of the snakes and the
chipmunks were in fair way to be
wiped out, when an inventive squirrel
discovered a way Of killing the snakes
without fighting them.
While a snake will enter any hole in
the ground that is large enough to re-
ceive its body no snake has yet been
able to dig hole for itself, and when
ever a snake is plugged inside of hole
that snake remains where 1t is until it
dies of starvation.
! Somehow the chipmunks learned this
weak spot In the defense of snakes and
| thew began offensive operations. Every
day they went leaping among the
graves snuffing at the holes to learn If
there we're snakes inside. AS soon as
one was discovered the squirrels car
ried earth in their check pouches until
the hole containing the snake was fill
cd with earth and beaten down level
with the grass.
They kept close watch for prying
snakes for two or three years In sue
cession, and last summer there was
hardly a. large snake to be found on the
island. while the chipmunks had i'll
creased so rapidly that they ate up
many of the growing crops upon which
the Indians depended for cash bounties
| from the State.
| In digging among the graves of their
ancestors to rid the island from pest
of chipmunks tn Indians unearthed
hundreds of dead snakes which had
been buried alive by the squirrels.
Then the world was enlightened as to
a new way of killing snakes.-Mail and

When 1 was interested in the Ster-

Mr.. Greeley and Peter Townsend, the
old ironmaster. Both wore big. white,
iwoolly overcoats, but Greeley's coat
was old and shabby, while ToWnsend's
was quite new. We had banquet af-
ter the christening, and when the wine
was brought on Mr.. Greeley, being
teetotaler, said he would leave us now
for a while, as he wanted to examine
the workings of our furnaces. He was,
you know, an expert upon such mat
tiers. But when we came to go' Peter
ToWnsend's coat was not to be found.
He thought that Greeley had taken 1t
and, looking for him, found him down

SOME INTERESTING
IN THE
FACTS

Report of the State CommissiOn-
ers-Many improvements Have Been
Made at tho States Haschcry-Theer
Has Been a Large Increase of Par
tridges and QHaiI.
The fourth biennial report of the
state commissioners of fisheries and
game was made public recently. The
report states that" the fish at the states
hatchery at Windsor Locks has been
singularly free from disease during
the past year. Many improvements
have been made at the hatchery dur
ing the period covered by the report.
1t is stated that in the tributary
waters Of the Pennington, Scantic and
Salmon rivers $4,000 Atlantic salmon
have been planted and in many of the
! inland lakes Of the state 4,l00 handbook
ed salmon have been distributed, The
stock of brood fish now at the state
hatchery consists of $500 and and 8
years brooktrout, 1,500 yearlings, 1000
fingerlink brook trout and 700 rainbow
trout.
In 1901 the commissioners received
from the United States commission
597S, 900 shad fry for the Joshuatown
ponds, and in 1902 100000 fry. The
commissioners report that they have
great expectations concerning Peck's
pond in Stratford on the Housatonic
river. Since 1899 8500,000 shad fry

has every natural advantage for rear
ing shad. The recommendation of two
years ago that as an auxiliary help to
the work of the Windsor Locks hatch
cry and the retaining ponds leased by
the state close season be established

that fish and game laws will be Of
