EASY TO CATCH SNAKES.
But the Catcher Must Be Absolutely
Without Fear.


How dc we catch live snakes?"
echoed the dealer in response to the
query. "Oh, it's easy enough when
you know how. In the hrst place, you
have to be absolutely fearless of
snakes. A person who is without fear
can handle even deadly reptiles with.
out danger. Most snakes, you know,
attempt to escape when approached
by human being. That's where the
catcher gets his work In. He will
make a detour and head o. the fleeing
reptile, which then comes to a stop
and retreats in another direction. An.
other detour again starts the snake on
different course, and these tactics
are followed until the reptile comes
to bewildered pause. Then the
catcher will take out his handker
chief. This he waves at arms length
TO attract the snakes attention, and
all the time he is edging up closer
until he is right over the snake, which
is concentrating all its attention on
the Tapping handkerchief. A quick
movement enables the catcher to
grasp the reptile back Of the head,
and an expert will have It subdued and
under his control with a few gentle
strokings. Black snakes, bill snakes,
pine snakes and other less venomous
varieties are captured that way with
out difficulty. y."-Philadelphia Record.

WARFARE ON THE SEA
SUBMARINES TO TAKE PLACE OF
- BATTLESHlPS.
Entire Change in Methods of Naval
Combat Foreshadowed by the De-
: velopment of the Invisible "Terror"
Invasion by Sea to End.

II battleships cease to exist, forts
to repel them will be worthless. They
are nearly as expensive as battleships
and much more effective. Then, if
transports have no battleships to op-
pose them, they need have no battle
ships 10 protect them; and, as base
for scouts and torpedo boats, all they
need Is coal and an admiral to report
TO. An improved destroyer may carry
an admiral, not in such comfort as
does the big and roomy bsttleship, but
faster. And with the additional speed
available, coaling stations may be fur
ther apart without hindrance to feet
operations and blOckades, the only
may be maintained farther at sea, safe
from the fire of forts and the attacks
of submarines.
AS for the future value OF conveying
transports, what will be the use Of
sending soldiers across the sea to
certain death within a short distance
of land? With twenty submarines in
place of each coast defense ship, with
mother ship" to supply food, water
and supplies for every FIVE OF these
ducklings, and with one fast surface
craft for scout, what transport that
might slip by the one battleship, could
hope to land her soldiers. And what
invading war craft, slower than the
scout, could catch her, or destroy her
except by surprise, which it is a
scouts business to prevent? Trans
ports, to be successful. will need to be
faster than the scouts that will re-
port them; and, since this is physi-
cally impossible, invasion by sea will
come TO an end. 1t is safe to say that
II Russia, at the beginning of the
war, had expended upon submarines
the cost of two of her bottled-up battle
ships, not japanese regiment could
have landed on Korea and remained
regiment. With cheap submarines
of fifty miles Of submergence, and 400
of surface action, attached to every
seaport, no transport or slow-going
battleship would dare approach an
enemy's coast.
The battleship. with its seven or
eight hundred men to die Ehen disas-
ter comes, is an expensive investment.
Those who advocate its continuance
do not advocate it's development. No
one argues for the building OF battle
ships twice as loing and broad and
deep as those that now exist, with
twice the thickness OF armor and
weight OF guns. Yet, II the big battle
ship be not developed still further, 1t
will cease to exist. For time its
work can be done by the armored crui-
ser; then, as the speed and vision of
the submarine is increased and per-
fected. by the fast protected cruiser
and fast destroyer; ard II the speed
and vision Of this deadly, unseen
enemy that strikes out Of the unknown
in time and place finally encompasses
the destroyer, these, too, must give
way, as is probable, and adopt the sub
marine features of their vanquishers,
and become submergible surface
boats.-World's Work.
