HORSEHAlR SNAKES.
Peculiar Habits Of These Threa dixie
Little S~erpents.

hshsAG
The "horsehair snakes are small,
fesh colored mites which live prilci-
pally In stagnant water. After going
through various transformations Il ey
come to the surface of the water In he
shape Of very slender, purplish loo. g
threads. When they reach this s5st
stage, they leave the water and W TX
their way up the stalks and leaves II
aquatic plants. When opportunity az
fords, they attach themselves to t.
feet. legs, wings and other parts OF
larger insects, often, as one authority
states. creeping under the wing case
Of beetles. In the case Of the cricket.
katydid, grasshopper and other insects
Of that Xix. whose legs are hollow. the
tiny horsehair takes the advantage and
creeps up the hollows into the very
vitals.
This accounts for the fat and clumsy
condition Of some individuals of the
above named species, single specimens
Of the cricket having been caught with
over two dozen Of these threadliKe
snakes attached to and inside of
their bodies. After heavy rains. which
frequently drown crickets and katydids
which are weighted down by these
parasites, the 'horsehair snake

a full tiedged miniature serpent. In this
mature state he is the delight of the
curiosity seeker and a mine Of study to
those who delight to delve In natures
bypaths. Those which have been for-
tunate enough not TO have been carried
very far from water by the insects
which they encountered during life
make their way back to the ponds to
lay their eggs. They then wrap them
selves around the eggs, which soon
hatch into the little flesh colered mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
time the parent snake" dies to make
room for its progeny.

 of Thirty-6ve Lost.
 NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 26-The Unit ed States weather bureau has received information from Captain Drinkwater of the Currituck life saving station that the stern of a steamer bearing the name Beatrice -, New York 7 is pounding bottom up in the breaker two and half miles south of Caffey's Inlet life saving station. Caffey's inlet Is halfway between Currituck and Kitty Hawk.
 The wreckage is thought to be from the fishing steamer Beatrice, which was caught in the recent hurricane when south of the Delaware breakwa- ter Wednesday, Sept. 16. She carried a crew of thirty-f1ve men and was load ed with 100000 fish. Her captain was J. W Leland of Baltimore H. S. Roy was the engineer and Thomas E. Lath- am his assistant.

Miller, the as- sistant foreman in the government priatdng office. The matter has been Iset in the hands of subcommittee of She executive council, whose names are not disclosed, with directions to make a full report. MT. Gompers re- marked laughfngly that nothing reyo- taszonary about the Miller case might bo anticipated. Mr. Gompers said that. owing to the necessity of some of the members of the council returning to their business, the council had ad- journed without transacting all the business before it. These unfinished matters were referred to the same sub comnittee as the Miller case.

 Four cars filled with passengers un- conscious of the peril avoided were landed safely in Providence, and the engine driver repaired to the office of A. R.

 Deputy Sheriff Bacon was summoned by MT. Whaley, and that official, armed, took his place by the side of the engine driver and accompanied the train from Worcester to Providence. Meantime the police officials are securing this sec ton of the state in an effort to round up the band described by the engine driver.

He9vy Distribution of Merchandise.
 Farm Staples Lower.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 26-R. e. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 The volume of trade continues large and the distribution of merchandise taxes shipping facilities. Announce ment of concerted effort to restrict production of pig iron indicates that supplies have begun to accumulate. The security market has been dull, with general decline an8 new low records for several issues.
 Railway earnings continue to show gains, for September thus far exceed ing last years by ST per cent and those of 1901 by 17.2 per cent. Traffic block ades occur to some extent, although the movement of farm products is still unseasonably small.
 New labor controversies have begun, but number of serious troubles have been aveFted and on the whole the 1 number of men idle voluntarily has di- unfinished.
 Enforced idleness in the iron and steel industry is more than offset by resumption of spindles at cotton mills, and there is great activity at foot wear factories, although the margin of prof. it is narrow
 Lower prices for the leading agricul- tural staples indicate a general belief in improved crop prospects. Jobbing trade is still making good comparisons with previous years, and, while the zenith has been passed in fall dry. goods, it is still satisfactory season. | Liabilities of commercial failures for the week amounted to $6,o70, ,66S, Of which S2,916, ,58a were in manufactur- ing, $2.568, 704 in trading and $596, 4S0 in other commercial lines. Failures this week numbered 232 In the United States against POT last year and 19 in Canada compared with 32 year ago.
