The Wandering AIbatross.

OF all the strange creatures seen
by travellers not the least interest
ing is the wandering albatross.
This great feathered wanderer,
sometimes measuring seventeen
feet from tip to tip of his wings,
will follow ship for days at a
time. Some travellers and sailors
declare that they have seen a
particular bird fly for weeks at a
time without ever being seen to
alight upon the waves. 1t not
merely follows the ship, but
wheels in great circles around it
and above it, high in the air, as
if to show that ii is not tired.
Sometimes the bird will be seen to
hang in the air with its wings ap-
parently motionless and the sail
Ors say that then it IS asleep.

Montezuma's Treasure.

1t seems certain that the old
Spanish conquiSadores did not
get all the gold and precious Jew
els of the Mexican monarch. A
story is now current that the In
cas- treasure, withheld from Piz-
faro and now discovered in Be-
livia, is worth SI6.oco,ooo. Plz-
faro received great sum from
the Inca whom he killed, but IN
doing so he missed q greater sum
which the Inca, hoping to sake
his life, promised his tormentor.
One gentleman who has the
blood OF Montezuma IN his veins
and in whose family the traditions
OF the times of the conquest have
been preserved, has said that prob
ably fully S8o.ooo,ooo worth OF
treasure escaped the hands OF
Cortez annd his followers. Some
have said that il was thrown into
Lake Texcoco, and not many
years back extensive excavations
were made in the Pedregal. near
Coyoacan, on a spot indicated by
tradition. A series OF subterran-
can chambers was found. but no

Snake Culture in Australia.

Snakes, according TO the prevail
ing popular notion, should be killed
ct si~ht at utterly useless and posi-
t;vclv dangerous creatures. but n
Australia they are now being sys-
temoEcally reared FOR the sake OF
their skins, which have a consider
able commercial value i'll London,
Paris and New York. Snake skin
IS the fashionable material for slip
Pcrs, belts, bags, purses, card cases.
Jewel boxes, dressing table accesso-
res, etc. Rabbit trappers supple
ment their means considerably by
catching Young snakes and extract
ing ne poisonous fangs. The
blacks are also expert snake catch
ers. To them the snake IS an agree
able article OF diet.

It Is this publicity that will do more
than anything else to maintain the pur-

For several years the county COM
missioners have set aside one day in
the fall Of the year for the improve

consists in spreading wheat straw up
on the surface of the roads to the
depth of from two to four inches. The
traffic soon cuts this straw into fine
particles. which are mixed with the
black soil Of which the rOad is COM
posed 1t is said that this treatment
prevents the road from getting muddy

weather.

A Good Example.

The road commissioners Of Lincoln,
ILL.,, have just finished graveling one
and half miles of road leading south
from that village. This makes three
and half miles of gravel roads lead

the total cost Of which was about 500,
or 5000 n mile. The expense was de-
frayed by the landowners along the
roadway. A portion Of the cost was
paid by labor. the farmers subscribing

And think on what she said.

Murder as A
 Crime in C0ChiSe
(Continued from Page One.)

(Contjnued from rage One.J December.
 Albert Cole and Cruz Figuerora, charged with the murder of Sebastian Lazano, at Pearce, April 9.
 Apol. Aguilara. charged with the murder of Casmerio Cruz. at Bisbee April 17th.
 Ramon Moreno, E. Eredia and E. FL guerora, charged with the murder of Arthur Wright at Black Diamond, Feb ruary last.
 Besides these. the territorial grand jury is now Investigating the killing of Wm Corson, by Baylor Walton.
 Besides the charges of murder, there have been a large number of cases found wher assaults to commit murder were committed, where it was the intention of the parties to commit murder, but who were frustrated in their attempts by the hand of Provi- dence.
 That legal execution of some kind should be had to put stop to the in creasing number of murders is the general opinion of all.
