A PHILIPPINE TIT-BIT.
Minute Fish OF a Volcanic BasiBe
Lake That Are Made Int Cakes
and Dried In the SUN.

The sinarapan, a minute fish IN
Philippine waters, is like any other
fish in shape and proportion, so far
as the unframed eye can see. On
account of its phenomenal minute
ness it is almost transparent. 1t
has a black chin, a black line down
its center, behind the anal fin, and
a few black spots on its back. Many
of the specimens dissected under the
microscope contained ripe eggs, conn
parable with the merest needle point
and measuring 1900 of an inch in de
ameter. The females are slightly
larger than the males. The former
average a fraction more than half an
inch in length; the males just a half
inch. The smallest mature speci-
mems are but two-ffths of an inch
from tip of nose to point of tail.
An odd fact in regard to these i'm
fnitesimal creatures is that they are
priced for human food, says the Prov
idence Journal. Lake Buhi is a vol
canic basin in the shadow Of Mount
Iriga. Here the side OF a
seems to have quite recently blown
out by volcanic action. Many vari'
cites of fishes of every size abound
in the lake, but the sinafapan are
far more numerous.
The Bicols when fishing for them
use a large sheet Of close web, which
they dip under the water whenever
a school congregates. They ar'
gathered in tightly woven baskets
from which the water Dor drains
leaving a compact mass Of the LITTLE
creatures. Whenever the feet o
fishermen bring them to shore Il
this condition the natives buy then
eagerly. They are seasoned with pep
per and other spices, pressed IN
cooked into cakes and dried in tn
sun. Our soldiers r reported t
have already grown fond of thi
strange diet.

A PYTHON.
aos.r msthod Of rrappins ns Huss
snakes Employed ~ the noros
Of Mfndanao.

A man who has been In she fan
east tells this story Of catching
snakes. reports the New York Trib-
une. Says he: "The natives Of n Of
our new colonies, the Moros of Min
danao. have a curious but effective
way Of capturing the huge pythons
that infest the jungles and
OF their country. Almost all the
larger houses there have stone walls
built about them TO prevent wild ami
mails from entering the yards to prey
on the fowls or live stock belonging
to the family. These same walls are
also made to serve the purpose of
serpent traps. A hole about IS inches
in diameter is cut through the rough
masonry near the ground. Shortly
after dark the natives tie sucking
pigs to stakes on each side Of, the
wall, not far from the hole. Then
they go inside the house, smoke their
pipes and patiently wait for some
thing to turn up. Nor are they often
disappointed. The occasional cries
and more especially the odor Of the
pigs attract a python from the near
by swamps. Cautiously he crawls up
to the wall until he reaches the first
pig outside the hole. In a twinkling
he has thrown his jaws about the pig,
and. struggling, the poor animal
glides down the snakes body alive
and whole. The serpent feels good.
although the pig was not a large
meal for him. So when he hears and
smells another such meal on the
other side Of the fence, he naturally
shoves his head through the hole to
investigate. There is another scream
and the second little pig is IN its way
down the snakes throat.
"Now comes the critical moment
The natives inside the house rush
out, and. flashing a torch in the
python's eyes, blind him long enough
TO slip a small leather strap yer hia
head. The python struggles hope
lessly, for each pig he has swallowed
is like 4 knot in his body that pre-.
vents him from slipping through the
hole either way. The natives soon
have him securely bound by stout
ropes to stakes in the ground. Then
they remove his leather collar and
force him to disgorge the last pig
ne has swallowed. The other is cut
out, stin alive, and neither of the pigs
Is much the worse for their expert
ence. Thus the python is not only
captured, but also cheated out Of the
real which led him to his misfor
tunes"

Before that unnatural conflict be-
tween the two sections of this great
country, which never. ought to have
occurred, men who were sent to Wash
ington as the servants of the people,
either in congress or in the white
house, estimated that their positions
carried With them certain RESPONSE
bilities and that the people were en-
titled to consideration at their hands.
Since that unnatural conflict a wall Of
greed and averice has been thrown
mountain high, and today the only
thought of the average man chosen
to congress or senate is to see what
he may make out Of the position he
holds. That almighty dollar is The
whole thing, and the people are kept
