according to the plans and specifica-
tons of the roads engineers
The crushed stone Is procured from
a gravel bed near the Auburn branch.
and the cold weather has caused the
snakes along the branch to seek the
warm interior Of the EARN for their
winters nap. Thousands of them
sought refuge in the gravel pit, for
their descent was easy on account OF
the number Of crevices. The picks
of the workmen ruthlezsly uncover
these alternating rlac s, and the ia
horers say that fully i,CU0 snakes are
troubled il their winters sleep on
each working day.
One den thus invaded was found to
contain over 100 snakes, twisted to-

Frequently, suspended from the

men see a snake with one end frozen
fast and the other end dangling in

of man.
But the workmen are without feel
