GERMAN CHILD DEATH RATE
Mortality for Fatherland Heads List
Statistics Which Prove
Teuton Figures.

Washington. Infant mortality
among the. Industrial nations Of the
world shows some surprising results.
Figures have recently been compiled
which show Germany to have a NOR
tality among infants less than a year
old more than twice that of France
and nearly twice that of the United
States. The question has been raised
whether the industrial growth Of Ger
many has contributed to this result,
and the conclusion is drawn that If =
has, Germany is purchasing her in
dustrial progress at a great cost. II
is pointed out that while the United
States has advanced industrially even
farther than Germany, high wages and
the abundance and cheapness OF food
have materially contributed to the
welfare of the inhabitants.
Deaths among children under one
year of age in Germany in 1901 num-
bered 420,223, while in Austria the
number was 200,906, in Switzerland
1892, Italy l75,S55, France 121, ,684,
Great Britain 1876 and in the Upited
States in 1900 199,325. The percentage
of total deaths. in those nations among
children compared with the total
deaths of all ages, was as follows.
Germany 35.S, Austria 31.8.. Switzer-
land 22.2, Italy PAS, France 1876, Great
Britain 26.6, and the United States

A QUEER CLoWWoRM.
Smithsonian Institution II Asked e
Classify Insect Found BY
Conductor.

Bessemer, Ala.-Conductor Gleason,
Of the Louisville & Nashville railroad
captured q peculiar worm on Red
mountain that no one has yet been
able TO class, and he has sent It to the
Smithsonian Institution to have it ex-
amined and classed. The worm is
about two and one-half inches long
Of dark color, no fur or hairs, but a
shsll-like back, there being II joints
and at each joint yellow streak
across the back.
On each side where the worm comes
in contact with the ground are yellow
dots, ten on each side At night these
streaks and dots are as bright as an
electric light, and when crawling the
worm looks not unlike a trolley car
with many lights on the sides. II is
not of the glowworm order, for the
lights are steady and bright, and
when first seen by Mr.. Gleason the
ground for some distance around the
worm showed a steady. continuous
light as bright as electricity. The
worm is a curiosity and is the first
of its kind ever seen by anyone who
has examined IT, When travelling
along with all lights burning 1t is a
most peculiar and interesting object.

FEAST FOR BLAcKSNAKES.
Between Them They Manage to De.
your One Hundred Chicks, Kill
ing Fifty More.

Glassport, Pa.-Before he retired re-
Gently Eugene Carpenter of this place,
went to his chicken house to make sure
that a brood of $50 little chickens was
safe Then he locked the doors of the
place and went TO bed in peace. When
he. again visited the chicken house he
found so chicks lying on the floor dead
while the others were nowhere in sight.
Greatly puzzled he searched high and
low, but no place was there any indica-
tion of thief having entered during
the night. Neither would it have been
possible for the chicks to have escaped
of their own free will.
Finally, as he was about to give up the
search. he discovered two immense
blacksnakes coiled up in one corner of
the chicken house. The snakes did not
put up any fight, and were easily killed.
Their bodies were almost as thick as a
mans leg. Mr.. Carpenter cut one of
them open. Inside were many of the
missing chicks. Each of the snakes
measured over seven feet in1ength.

FEAST OF sNAkE-cHARMERs
They Throw Live ssrpsnts Upon .
Statue II q. Dominic In 1rooss-
sion Believing Cures VIII Come.

Naples.-A strange procession was
seen in the town of Cucullo. near
AQuila. when the statue Of St. Dominic
was carried through the streets. Snake
charmers annually attend the festivi-
ties, and it.is their duty, while the pro-
cession il moving, to keep near the
statue and throw handfuls Of live
snakes upon 1t. The painter Michetti
illustrated the scene In q painting,
which was exhibited in Paris some
years ago. He represented the statue
covered by q mass of green snakes like
q statue Of Medusa.
When the snakes fall to the ground
there is a rush on the part of the
charmers to gather them up and throw
them on the statue again. The inhab-
itants believe the possession Of one
of the snakes which has been coiled
around the statue insures them against
snake bites for the rest of the year,
and many are the professionals who go
from town to town exhibiting the
snakes caught during the celebration,
using them for incantations.

New Orleans, LAs-SevefAl rscsnt
failures 70 run down SsceDiao crimlnals
with bloodhoufids Add tdud& mistakes
made BY the hounds il tfackinG the
wrong persons have convinced the Mis-
sissippi authorities Of the necessity Of
improving the breed Of hounds.
There are no state hounds, and the
authorities are compelled to depend
upon such packs - the sherins or fan
cisrs may Offer. These are far from
satisfactory, for the local business done
by the hounds IL not suf1cient to jus
tify any considerable expenditure In
raising or maintaining them.
On the other hand, the greater free
dom granted the convicts because Of
the system q state convict farms, rem.
ders some better provision for their
recapture necessary. The beginning q
q state pack has been made by the pur-
chase By the state Of the bloodhound,
Robin Hood, said to be the finest in
Mississippi.
Robin Hood will be used IN running
down all escaped oonvicts from the
state farm At Rankin county, under
the direction Of Sergeant Paney. He
will be used also TO improve the breed
Of dogs at the several state farms.
Robin Hood came from Q kennel at
Lexington. KY, and has made hne
record In tracking fusftives in southern
Mississippi where he was owned by q
man who IL now . trusty convict. A,
WiggtDs, in Harris,n county, he took
UP the trail Of murderer ~ hours OLD
and ran the criminal To earth. At Plea
yune he was equally successful with 9
12-hour-old trail. and 30 far he has
made no mistake or failure.
He Is q light brown, has q massive
jaw that will bring the stoutest fugitive
to the earth, and has the striking dul
red eye Of the thoroughbred blood
hound. He is % dreaded among thu
negro oonvicts that his very pfesenot
on the Rankin county farm will reduct
the number Of convicts who break fo'
liberty.
