Little Pennsylvania Darkey a Puzzle
to NaturaIists.
Prof. II. A. Surface, State Economic
Zoologist, has found the Boy Snake
Charmer of Harrisburg" according to
dispatch from the Pennsylvania
city.
The other day Prof. Surface was
engaged in sorting snakes for bis
new volume, "On the Snakes of Penn

pearsd in the doorway and squeaky
little voice asked:
is heah wheah de snaik man
lives?"
The professor thought a moment
and then said that he was the man
who was looking for snakes.
The little fellow beamed and asked
the professor If he would let him see
some of his snakes.
Certainly" said the professor, and
he went to his collection, where a
lively Kissing viper and large black
snake were coiled up. Both of these
snakes are perfectly harmless, but
the boy did not know 1t. He was de-
lighted over the snakes and the
squirhing and twisting OF their beau
tiful bodies seemed to charm him.
When DR.. Surfaces attention was
diverted to another part of the room
the negro had reached into the box
and took out the kissing viper, and
followed this by lifting out the black
snake, which coiled about him. He
was fondling the snakes when DR..
Surface turned and the boy was APP
parently not a bit afraid.
The boys name is James Dean and
he is familiar object on Harris
burgs streets. clad in red sweater,
short trousers and shoes that have
seen better days. He wears neither
hat nor stockings. At the meeting OF
the Harrisburg Naturalists' club. DR..
Surface took Jimmy" Dean as an
object lesson and the little fellow
handled the snakes as If they had al
ways been his playmates. much to
the astonishment of the members Of
the club.

LETTER FROM BARBADOS.

The many friends of 9. II. Closson and
wife will be pleased to hear that they have
arrived at Bar bados. Mrs. Closson writes
that they left the beautiful port of Hamil-
ton, Bermuda, on Dec. 10, ard sailed a
direct course to st. Thomas. They sighted
land at dark, Dec. IS. For four days they
did not meet a vessel or steamer; the only
thing they saw was shoal of flying fish
which disappeared quickly.
At st. Thomas the steamer anchored
about one half OF a mile from shore on the
morning of the 10Th. Many boats
swarmed around the steamer to solicit
patronage and beg for money. The pas
sengers would throw small change over
board and the negroes would jump into
the water and dive for 1t, and never lost a
penny.
"The place OF note that we visited here
was Bluebeard's castle, and the view was
grand. The flowers were most beautiful.
Guava apples grow abundantly, also
eocoanuts, sugar. cane and palms. This
place is of coral formation and very clean.
"Dec. 20 we reached st. Croix. This is a
very pretty island. We went on shore
aad soon met the captain and American
consul, also the Muravian minister, who
invited us to his home to meet his wife.
She served after dinner tea which was
very nice.
'Dec. 81 we were still att st. .Croix, and
in the early morning boat with the cap
tain of the British merchant
training ship in it, came alongside our
steamer, and called on our captain, invit-
ing him ana his cabin passengers to take
lunch with him on board his ship.
ave we're chsrmingy entertained by
the officers snd taken all over the ship.
There were 100 boys on board. Tea was
served at 80; the ships band played
God Bless the Queen and America.
We were then brought back to our ship
and sailed at once. Mr.. Ciosson said ne
never spent more delightful day.
"Dec. % we reached St. Mathis. The
settlement is down near the shore, and is
about the same as the other small islands.
Salt Is the only production. AS We en-
tered st. Keith we passed Mount Misery;
1t looks very hot and emits steam feom Its
top. There is pool Of water on top that
will cook eggs OF boil potatoes.

We went on shore and visited ST.. Jonn's
church which is very beautiful.
''Dec. "a we anchored in the harbor OF
Guadeloupe. From there we sailed the
18th, and arrived at Barbados the 2Sth.
We were Is days from New York to Bar
bados.
"Jan. we received our letters, THE
