Most Degraded of Men.

The last man on the Santa Barbara
islands was deported in 1853. Our
knowledge of these extinct Indians off
the California coast is derived from
the accounts of the early voyagers,
from the missionaries who subsequent
ly settled on the island. and from the
remains in their refuse heaps and the
skulls and skeletons which have from
time to time been collected Some of
the islands probably at one time had
a population approaching 1000 each,
but in 1928 only about 900 were left on
Santa Barbara and the neighboring
islets; and in 1875 all had disappeared.
Although they manufactured a certain
number of domestic utensils, these
Santa Barbara Indians are described
by the missionaries as the most de-
graded of all human beings, with a
morality lower than that of animals.
Insects, especially grasshoppers, FORM
ed a portion of their food, also prob
ably the larger varieties of earth
worms.

Retaining Arid Land.

Contrary to commonly accepted ideas
as the statement may be. it is never
theless, an amply demonstrated fact
that wherever in this great arid EN-
pire the annual rain fall averages as
high as IL inches, as good crops can
be raised without irrigation as with it.
This means that almost every acre of
the great plains between the Missouri
river and the Rocky Mountains. and
most of the inter-mountain parks and
plateaus between the Rockies and the
Pacific, will produce as abundantly as
will the rich prairie lands of Iowa Mis-
souri, and Illinois. and much more
abundantly than the richest of the
lands in any Of the older states along
the Atlantic seaboard: that there is
land enough now utilized. If at all only

ling or Quadrupling of the present
farming population of the United States

Probably there Is no exaggeration in
the statement made by one writer that

producing fruits, cereals, vegetables

AFTER DINNER SPEAKERS.
Crimes Charged Against Those who

There Is criminal in society one

is the man who. having by some con-
temptible and undetermined method be-
come acquainted with your best after

the guests are hanging spellbound on
your words and are rewarding you with
anticipatory chuckles. bursts out with
your point just five seconds before you
can reach the winning post.
On the other hand, there is that in
nocent sufferer, the man who forgets
his point. The other night at a din
ner party We were favored by a most
delightful anecdote about the fair Me-
lusine. who, as everybody knows, was
half woman and half a serpent.
The excellent gentleman who was
entertaining us with the story got how
ever, slightly mixed. His point was
intended to be that the husband of the
fair Melusine was singularly fortunate
because his wife was serpent only
half the time. at which climax he could
confidently reckon on frantic hilari-
ty.
Unfortunately, in the excitement of
recital. he couldn't think of the animal
required for the point. Nothing would
come to his agitated consciousness but
whale. So, when he said with smile
which grew more uncertain as he ap-
preached his climax, that the husband
of the fair Melusine was singularly
lucky. as his wife was whale only

The feeding Of a cage of pythons is
an operation which requires time and
skill. The first thing done is to sep
arate the big fellows, which lie So
ciably coiled in a great mass. The
keeper then hands them their chick
ems and rabbits one by one, keeping
many of the snakes covered with
blankets to prevent Sighting. To throw
the food at random into the cage would
result in the more powerful specimens
eating everything. besides fighting
among themselves.
The poisonous snakes are the most
difficult to keep in captivity. They
are so nervous that the slightest noise
causes them to spring in coil of de-

Because of this nervousness the pois-

cobras are always on the lookout for

AMERICAN SCHOONER FLEET.
Steady Decline of the Smaller Vessels
in Favor of Large.

III E6vOr Vi Large
Much has been written about the de-
cline in the American deep sea square
rugged sailing vessel feet in recent
years, but little attention has been paid
to the decline in sailing vessels of
smaller size, in other words the sea-
going schooner fleet. The large num-
Der of fine coasting schooners which
have been constructed during the past
10 or Is years might appear to the cas-
ual observer to have kept pace to a
marked degree with the wastage that is
constantly taking place in this class of
vessel property-by wreck, dismantling
or other causes-as in all others. But
such is not the case. Liberal as we
have seemed the additions to the Allan
tic coast schooner fleet, steady de-
cline is at once shown in the figures
which Uncle Sam keeps.
In the 10 years between 1894 and 1904
the total number of seagoing American
schooners decreased from 2,152 to 1923
a loss of 629 craft, or nearly 80 per
cent. The gross register of the 1894
fleet was 771,314 tons, while that of
1904 was 764,S66 tons. or a decrease
of 6,44S gross tons. That the newer
fleet comprises vessels of larger size
is at once apparent, and the average
gross tonnage has increased 143 tons
per vessel in the 10 years, the average
of 1904 being SOP tons. In fact, to get
down to figures of actual construction
in the 10 years ending with 1904 there
had been built 667 schooners of 321 1861
gross tons, or an average of 4S1 gross
tons per vessel, while in the 10 years
ending with 1904 American shipbuild-
ers put afloat 379 schooners, of 332, 0S6
gross tonnage. or an average of SIG
gross tons. The largest schooner built
during this period was the Thomas w.
Lawson, seven-masted vessel, of
5,21S gross tons.
While the schooner of the present
day must be of large carrying capac-
ity to compete with steam craft and
such vessels are practically the only
kind that are being built, yet there is
smaller type, vessels of $50 to 200 tons
ing, vessel charters tell us. Few, If

ing filled.
One hundred years ago half the
trade of the world was carried on in
schooners. and little boats of less than
100 tons made voyages across the
ocean and even to China. That there
will always be demand for schoon-
ers is admitted, and now that the
gasoline engine is proving its adapt
ability to this sort of craft. whereby
at low cost the ship may be moved
in and out of harbors without the aid
of tug, and can also move along at a
good rate of speed in calm weather
at sea, new lease of life should be the
schooner's portion, and she will un-
doubtedly occupy an important niche
in the lists of commercial vessels in
the merchant marine of the United
States in the future.-The Nautical
Gazette.

half the time, even the most charitable
OF diners out looked perplexed and
va1nly tried to see the joke. The man
sent me the point on a post card the
very next morning.
There is no end to dinner crimes The
other evening l was at great ban
quet for which a very impressive per-
sonage all hung with stars and things,
nad been captured as ornamental
chairman. AS looked into the chair
mans red face, decorated with early
victorian whiskers, | had a dreadful
suspicion that he knew but vaguely
why he was there. A busy little COM
mitteeman darted up to the noble chair
man and whispered frantically into his
ear and felt at once, from the jerks
OF his head, that he referred to lonely
man who bore on his features the
stamp of America. as we'll as an only
partly concealed dissatisfaction.

noble chairman, after great deal of
eloquence that got lost behind his shirt
collar, Il have the qualification of in

tinguished citizens of the great Repub-
lie, man famous in her councils and
even more famous in the greater re-

of America"
Here, as the noble chairman looked
benevolently across at the distin-
guished stranger, the stranger met his
glance with unconcealed malevolence.
Hopkins he Kissed. MY name is
Hopkins!"
For a moment the chairman was
staggered, but then he came CALAMITY
to his own rescue.
THE fact is. ladies and gentlemen,
the name that is a-a-in fact, a house
hold word is-is-in fact, is Hopkins"
Whereupon he sat down rapidly amid
thunders of applause.-Ex.

Menu For the Snakes.

The various kinds OF snakes in cap
tivity do not eat once day. as ami
mails do, but take their food at inter-
walls varying from a day or two to a
month. Turtles and lizards which are
active are fed every other day. but the
big constructing snakes which lie
coiled in the same position for week
at a time, do not require a meal often
en- than twice month. AS a rule,
the smaller snakes are fed every ten
days, while the boas and pythons re-
ceive their food every three weeks.
Nearly all the big snakes have the
habit of fasting for indefinite periods.
After feeding regularly for three or
four months python will steadily de-
cline food for about the same period,
after which 1t again begins feeding
voraciously.
During these long fasting spells the
keepers follow their charges actions
