Serpent worship and the Precipitation
OF snake divinities. which once spread
all over Asia, still maintain tena'

Cochin and Travancore, on the south
west coast of India. Here hihdooS

sidered heinous crime to inJure the
reptile or neglect its interests.
In the district of Travancore alone
there are between 10000 and 10000
shrines dedicated exclusively to the
worship of snakes which possess OK
tensive and valuable properties for
their maintenance and for the cost Of
the ceremonies which the Keepers have
to perform from time to time
In these shrines the Hindoos set down
fantastic idols of serpents on stone
base. and the shrine Is protected by Il
mud wall. Householders to assure their
welfare should make offerings OF
dough. milk and cooked rice to the SER
Dertine habltues of the shrine and
place lights and chant hymns In order
| to be assured Of their favor.
Every morning the king and queen OF
the serpents are bathed. and fruit and
milk are offered to them, to be followed
ut noon by cooked rice anu fried grain.
On certain DAYS the idols In grove and
household temple are carried In pro-
cession to the house. where propltla-
tary offerings are made. The presiding
functionary must be the eldest female
member of the family, who has to prac-
tlce cellbacy from the day she attains
the position.

things. The cost OF the festivals is de-
frayed by the revenues Of the paddy
fields and gardens attached to the
shrines. 1t Is believed that unless the
ceremonies are conducted with rever-
ence the largest cobras OF the grove
will come out and show themselves to
the members OF the house. The ma
tlves also believe that snake bites In

SWING AROUND pIgrI PEAK.
Agreement Between Colorado Mid
land and Short Line Gives
Fine Scenic Tour.

By an agreement just entered into
between the Colorado Midland and
the Colorado Springs and Cripple
Greek District railroad ("The short
Line")a diverse tour of that portion
of the Rocky Mountains lying around
Pixies Peak is made possible, the
new trains to go on early in June.
The new arrangement has created
considerable OF stir in the world
Of travel, and greatly simpliHes the
problem of choosing one-day sight
seeing tour, which often causes the
average tourist considerable vexation.
An editorial in the Colorado Springs
Evening Telegraph of the date of May
14th comments upon the new arrange.
ment with a conciseness which tersely
tell the story of what the trip really
means to Colorado visitors this sum-
mer. The Telegraph says:
''It is very fine thing for the
tourist, and for the travelling public
generally.
Everyone knows that the Colorado
Midland's Ute Pass line is one of the
most interesting aud scenically
beautiful sections of track in the
whole country. The train now skirts
the brow of terrifying precipice and

come out again, as unexpectedly,
close to the bed of one of the most
beautiful and additionally interest
ing streams in the state. 1t is the
atmosphere of romance that draws
more than fair proportion of resi-
dents from other sections to the West,
and there ia something gratifying,
and perhaps little of regret over the
passing of the old days, in the
thought that it is possible now to be
drawn by horse of iron over path
way of steel up the famous mountain
pass down which not so very many
years ago the Utes made their pilgrim
ages from their South Park hunting
grounds by broncbo to engage in con
flict with the Cheyenes and Arapshoes
on the plains that lie to the east.
"And those who kSow best the
vantage points about the Sentinel Of
the Rockies will not hesitate to de
clare that the most impressive view
of Pixies Peak that can-rbe- had, ex
cept from the high ground in tn
eastern part of Colorado Springs, 4
to be had from the vicinity of.Wood

"When these gems of interest ant

Park line, it certainly converts i
into a thing of beauty and a joy for
ever.
''Then here's to the circle tour
May it be popular, for it deserves t.

anywhere else in the world for tn

Split in Jefferson.

 As The Ledger has feared since the Beginning of the contest for the sher-
 ffs office, the party Is now torn asunder It is the most serious split the Democrats have had in the county for years They have had others in times past, but we have avoided them in recent years until now.
 Colonel Hsdon announces that he Is candidate for sheriff, claiming to he the regular nominee and the choico of the primary. That makes the split. The fact that there is no or Eaniz"d opposition to the Democracy ma keS this division more serious When SO great an office is In contest and when the vote was exactly divid- ed it is not to be expected that men would accept the decision of a com mtteo in contest. It would hardly llngly.

There was a large audience at the New Haven theater last night to see one of the best plays seen here in some time, Rev. J, snyder's play "As Ye Sow, which is presented by a com pany of unusual excellence. Little o. i've Wright, as Little Katie, is a won derful child, and her acting throws the work of all other children that have appeared here long way in the shade. Miss Myrtle May, as Dora Leland George D. Baker, as Rev. John St. John, the minister, and Edwin Forsberg, as Frank Leland St, John, his erring brother, are we'll cast in their several roles, and the rest of the company ren- der value assistance in making the pre- sentation a success.
 There will be a bargain matinee to- day, at which prices will be 25 cents and 50 cents, and it will afford an op- portunity for all to see this beautiful play. The concluding performance will be given tonight, Seats are now on sale.

THE. ATLANTIC EDITION.
 The Atlantic Ocean covers two vast valleys. One of these passes between' the Cape Verde Islands and the Azores and it is of great depth. It runs close up to Europe and comes to an end closel to the British Isles, where a ridge or| crest of land separates it from the| basin of the North Sea. The other val- lev runs in the main parallel to the| first, from which it is separated by anl elongated strip of land, of which thel Azoroes form supermarine continual ton. This trip does not exceed a depth of 9,S5O feet, while it's height amounts| to 6,56O feet The first valley, like its8 confrere, is also very deep, it's bottom being situated at a depth of nearly four miles below the surface. Passing. along South America and leaving thdl Bermudas to the left it passes along Newfoundland and Labrador. finally ending just south of Greenland. Ind sub-Atlantie landscape thus consists of' two vast parallel valleys or mountainsl Farther north the land lies higher and the sea is relatively speaking, shaIlowl Between Greenland and the continent close to Iceland and the Channel Islands, there is huge plain, free from any depression worthy of mention.
