Told by Sense Of Smell.

Snakes have a very keen sense of smell, by which they are largely guided in the choice of their food. A zoologist has discovered that the larger snakes at zoos often refuse to eat rats captured about the buildings. but quickly devour those caught out of doors Rats taken indoors were kept for a day or so in cage with an earthen floor. after which they were rapidly eaten. A similar experience was haG with smaller snahos, copperheads, these declining to eat house mice, letting them run freely about the cage CT even over their bod ies with impaLity. While field mice wer. quickly disposed of even if they had been dead for some little time.

letters in the dead letter Office, and
has been dismissed. Besides taking
railroad tickets Moore also is accused
of taking foreign stamps from letters
and selling them. Many letters which
reach the dead letter office contain
railroad tickets. These are kept on
file for a certain time and then de-

there was no chance of the tickets
reaching the persons for whom they
were intended, that they had been paid
for and he thought he might as well
reap the revenue from them.

that Central American and Mexican
