NYvENoMoUs REPTILES DEAF
Mankind Often Escapes Danger of At

Mankind Often Escapes Danger of At
tack Owing to This Circumstance.
1t is a little known fact-it has, in
deed, but recently been discovered by
aturalists-that majority of the
venomous reptiles with which the
world is infested are wholly or par
TALLY deaf, while their sight is often
defective. To this is probably due the
immunity of man from the attack OF
these creatures, for men hear and see
the serpents before they are heard or
seen and are enabled either to escape
from their proximity or to make ade-
quate preparations for defense.
A German naturalist, NJ. Werner of
Vienna, has recently reported the re-
suit of observations that he has been
making for some time on the senses of
inferior vertebrates.
On certain points the conclusions of
NJ. Werner are surprising, and in all
they are worthy of notice. Nj. Wer-
ner has observed 1876 individuals, of
which one-third were at liberty, and
he took all precautions possible not to
let the creatures know they were
watched. One general fact is evident,
that reptiles and amphibians are
strongly attracted by water. Tney go
straight for it, even when they are at
a distance so great that they could not
divine its presence by any of the
senses known to us. 1t seems really
that a sense of which we have no
Il cd inf of
ton in which water may be found.
There seems to be a sort of chemical
attra ction, says NJ. Werner. But how
does this act and on what part of the
creature? This remains a mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light, but in
dependently of heat; they are positive
ly heliotropic and in winter they often
leave comfortable and warm retreat
to seek the sunlight. Sight Is gener-
ally good with them. 1t is probably
the finest sense they possess, but 1t
would still appear to be limited.
The caymans and the crocodiles can
not distinguish a man at distances Of
more than six times their length, ac-
cording to NJ. Werner. In the water
HSneS see only III very CLOSE range
about half their own length. This will
seem, perhaps, unlikely to anglers, al
though some of them can cite in
stances showing that fish cannot see
far. Snakes seem to have mediocre
sense of sight. The boa. for instance,
does not see at more than a quarter
and third of its own length; different
species are limited to one-fifth or one
eighth of their length.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

Hon. J. q. Speight, of Graves, is
the Republican nominee fer congress
In this district, and he is going to
make a good race. Ollie James is bis
opponent. and while it is evidently
Ollie's intention to stay in congress
the rest OF his natural life, he may
be fooled. He is a part of the Ken
lucky Democratic Office holders trust,
and as could be seen from the tactics
of the crowd in making his recent
domination, it is their intention to
freeze out competitors hereafter by
calling primaries aud fixing prohibit
tion entry fee-$1500 it was to be the
last time, il any one had come along
who had that much cash to risk.
The best way for the Democrats to
bust up this sort of business is to
elect Republican. Congress is large
ly Republican, and is going to remain
SO. A Republican from this district
could do a great deal for the district,
while Democrat can do practically
nothing, because Democrats in con-
gress count for very little. If there
is any object in having a district rep
resented in congress. it is to accom-
plish something for the district, as
we'll as for the country at large, aud 3
man ought to be sent to represent the
district who can do something besides
draw salary and occasionally make
blooming ass of himself.
Besides. Ollie is getting as mum as
Parker himself ON the presidential
question. None of his constituents
can find out who he is for. whether
for German, Parker, Hearst or Cleve-
land. although he is supposed to be
one of the delegates from the state at
large.
Can il be that he is merely sitting
still piously hoping that the presiden-
tial lightning will strike his way?

TO VOTE ON IT

QUESTION.

Mr.. William Fades, the coal mine
operator, went TO Hillsides mines this
morning on business, and stated that
the miners would by popular vote de-

tion proposed by the mine operators.
Last year we granted the miuers
an increase of D per cent. but this
year the business has dropped of and
coal has gone down many points, Mr..
Fades explained 1.-The railroad COM
psny, which buys a great deal of our
coal, win make cut of 10 per cent
it is said. And this cuts a big figure
in our market. Illinois accepted a re-
duction of 10 per cent. only short
time ago, but the miners in this state
did not agree so readily. The matter
was first proposed TO be arbitrated
but the miners at last decided to take
a popular vote AMI we anticipate no
trouble. The miners are nearly all
working and have until May IS to
take the ballot"
