Eco of captive RattIesnake.

One of a boXful of four rattlesnakes
sent to Fred Kempel from California
three or four days ago laid an egg.
which Is said to be almost without
precedent, as snakes in captivity new
er breed.
The egg Is only little smaller
than a hens egg. and the small rat
tier can be plainly seen Curled up in
side of the opaque membrane. 1t is
expected to hatch within a day or two.
Few naturalists have ever been able
to locate the eggs of the rattlesnake.
owing to the fact that the snake is
exceedingly torpid at the time. and
seeks the bottom of its hole. so as
not to he prey for the birds. which
attack it.-Milwaukce Sentinel

Retaining Missouri Marsh Lands.

Two huge dredge boats and some
fifty laborers are employed in Holt
county, Mo, to drain about thirty
square miles, or 10000 acres, of marsh
land which is at present of no value
except for hunting and fishing, being
under water most of the year, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. 1t is eX-
pected that when drained it will be the
richest and most productive agricultur-
al land in the state. Where the water
is shallow the growth Of vegetation is
rank. The underlying soil is a dense
black, mucky loan. The drainage work
will be paid for by the landowners
along the line Of the ditch, the courts
having decided that the enterprise is
legal They organized a company and
issued $4,000 in bonds at 6 per cent.
The main ditch will be fifteen miles
long, ten feet deep and forty feet wide,
with levees five feet high on both sides,
making the depth fifteen feet. There
will be many smaller lateral bitches.

PRISONERS EXCEED SOLDIERS.

Unusual state OF Affairs Reported
from Post on Governors Island.
Army prisoners now exceed by more
than 100 the soldiers on duty at the
post on Governors Island, New York.
Many of those confined are merely
under sentence for desertion.
Military prisoners from all the posts
in the department of the east are con-
fined in Castle Williams. Lately the
prison Of the department of the Lakes
at Chicago became so crowded that
many of the western prisoners have
been sent here. This accounts for the
curious state of affairs noted.
In all there are 1872 prisoners. The
garrison, which consists of one battal-
ion of the eighth infantry, numbers
about 220 men, exclusive of com
missiOned officers.

RIVAL OF GONDOLA.
American Motor Boat on Historic
Canals of Venice.

Canals of Venice.
The American motor boat has invad-
ed the romantic canals of Venice, says
the New York Tribune. AS the gon-
dolier bends over his swinging oar he
hears every now and then the "chug
chug" of a gasoline engine behind him
and the next moment beholds wasp
ish craft dart past and on in the dis
lance. The city of Venice recently es-
tablished a transportation system Of
its own and is operating fifty or more
motor boats through the canals and la
goons much as New York might op-
crate its own street cars. Venice be-
lieves in municipal ownership.
To ride in the motor boats of Venice,
however. costs the passenger consid-
erably less than the New York street
car. The fare is only cents. The
sprightly little vessels ply up and down
the Grand canal, which divides the city
ike q huge s, and also the smaller
waterways which intersect 1t like so
many veins and arteries Their plain,
clean cut hulls, built only for speed
and strength, when cOntrasted with
the bright beaked gondOlas, with their
black leather cushions and gayly col
ored curtains f1uttering from their win
dows, form as much of an antithesis
as an American in business dress
placed alongside some knight Of the
middle ages bedecked in silks and
laces.
To the average inhabitant the motor
boat is far more welcome than the 9th
err craft which the modern age Of in
vention has brought to Venice. Be
cause of its low cut stern the motor
boat does not kick up waves against
the houses as does the steam or gasO-
line launch. Accordingly it is permit
ted to navigate the narrowest canals,
where the cumbrous, heavily churning
steamer is prohibited. Some Of the
rich Venetians are also buying motor
boats in which to go to and from bust
ness or for extended holiday jaunts to
suburban pleasure resorts.

Nothing in recent years has so STIR

opposing MOrmonism as Apostle Hy
rum NJ. Smiths public assertion that
''in President Roosevelt the MOrmOns

Ellis, superintendent of legislation for
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, says:
The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union believes the strong
est bulwark of our nations life is the
home, and whatever may mar or de-
face its sanctity or lower its standard
is an enemy to be overcome, to be de-
strOyed, AS women and patriots we

Leaders Are DEPRIVED.
During the investigation before the
senate committee on privileges and
elections we were dismayed to learn of
the depravity and utter lawlessness of
their leaders, from President Joseph
H. Smith down; the president and
eight of his apostles confessed living
with numerous wives at the present
time. But their latest and most daring
utterance to our mind is that of
Apostle Hyrum NJ. Smith in an ad-
dress before the great conference held
at Salt Lake this month, in which he
declared:
In President Roosevelt we have
friend, and he has friends among the
Latter Day Saints. We will be true to
him and true to Old Glory, because we
are a true people. President ROose-
Welt has the courage of his convictions
and will not be moved by prejudice;
he will give Us a square deal. We
will do all we can to sustain President
Roosevelt, for we are true to him, and
we will demonstrate it in the future as
we have proved it in the past
Believers in President.
"Any one knowing the heart of
President Roosevelt and his love of
home and home life, any one familiar
with his patriotic devotion to law and
its enforcement, any one who appre-
ciates his constant admiration for
high and lofty citizenship, must surely
repudiate sentiments such as these,
emanating from such source.
