In the Sarawak Gazette is an article
On the snakes Of that part Of Borneo
OF the poisonous reptiles 1t says: "The
cobra (Naja tripudians) is a black
snake which raises its head to strike
when irritated. at the same time ex.
panding the hood at either side Of the
neck. 1t spits at intruders and Kisses
like a cat, whence it is known as
'ular tedong puss;;" In some parts. too.
asr ''tetlong mata hari." The word "te.
dong" in Sarawak is apparently ap-
piled to all large snakes which Malays
consider to be poisonous, and, as our
Malays are but i'll acquainted with
these animals, quite number of large
but harmless forms are designated by
this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun.
garus) Is brown snake, considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobra. 1t is
rather shy, but when cornered, like
the cobra, it raises its head and ex-
pands the hood before striking. Its
food is chiefly other snakes.
LESS dangerous than these najas
are the vipers, of which the most
common species is the green viper.
which reaches a length of two feet or
more. The head is large and shaped
like an ace of spades. This creature is
q tree snake and very sluggish. The
'bungarus' are Of several species, one,
Bungarus fasciatus, of length up to
four feet, being black with yellow
rings. 1t is called the 'ular buku tebu'
(sugar cane joints by natives. There
are also sea snakes Of many species.
The tail Of sea snake is hattened
and oarlike."
Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Py-
thon reticulatus grows to an enor-
nous size, over twenty feet. It is
very fond Of pigs, but varies its diet
by various animals. including even
children. The oil Of this snake is used
by Malays as an embrocation for
bruises. The other species of python,
Python curtus, is interesting in that
its flesh tastes like that of fowl-at
least, SO Dyaks say, and they are au-
thorities on snake flesh, for they eat
q number of the large snakes"

Standing Before His Telephone, Indiana Doctor Shoots
 Himself.
SHE WAS HIS SWEETHEART
'rve Something to Tell You," Said the Physician, and as She Held Receiver to Her Ear He Put a Bullet
 Into His Head.

With the long distance telephone re- ceiver at her ear, Miss Bessie Buchan- an of Fletcher avenue, Indianapolis, heard the revolver shot by which her sweetheart, Dr. Ellison Dixon, killed himself at Frankfort, Ind. She had been called to the telephone about 3 o'clock and was pleased at finding that Dr. Dixon was at the other end of the wire
 i've got something to tell you," he said, and there was note in his voice which caused her to wonder.
 "What is it?" she asked
 There was no reply from the other end of the wire, and Miss Buchanan repeated her query. If you called up on purpose to tell me something, why don't you tell it?" she said.
 There was silence again for few seconds, and then came muft1ed sound, which the young woman did not understand All she knew was that she could get no further answers. She worried over the incident for al most an hour, and then she called up Mrs. George Stengle in Frankfort, at whose home Dr. Dixon roomed. She related the peculiar circumstances and said she feared the doctor was ii.. ask ilg that some investigation be made.
 Mrs Stengle immediately telephoned to Earl Grl'sSr. an attorney who is friend of Dr. Dixon, and he hurried to

Echoes and Architects.

Tt is possible to make echoes" said an architect. Tt is. indeed, easier to make than to destroy them. In the past men built their great temples and cathedrals with no thought of acOus tics: hence when the preacher preached echoes rolled freely amid the groinngs of the roof, down the rows of sculp- tured columns and round and round the nave. With wires strung here and with tapestries spread there, many of the echoes of the old world buildings have been obliterated. There are echo experts-builders acquainted with the science of acoustics whose speciality is echoes destruction. Sometimes their tasks are hard. Today an architect takes thought of the echo. His build ing is constructed so as to exclude this intruder. And, knowing how to ex clude it, he knows how to welcome it also. l have frequently in landscape work put up summer houses and ar- ranged rocks so as to create an echo there. ."-Exchange.

 Cubes.

A game of dice settled a rivalry of long standing for the heart and affec- tions of Miss Lula Baker, pretty ste nographer in the Merchants, hotel of Omaha. The gamesters were Jules Althaus of Omaha and Jack Mitchell of Council Bluffs, both well known young business men, and while the game was in progress Miss Baker stood by and encouraged the young men.
 For several years the two men had been rivals for Miss Bakers heart Finally they decided to throw .dice the loser to drop out of the race. Miss Baker agreed to abide by the result, After each had won a game and Mitch ell had thrown four SiNes Miss Baker begged .Althaus to let her shake for him.

The tele- phone receiver had dropped from the right hand indicating that he had pur- posely refrained from placing it on the hook, which would have broken the connection and prevented lis sweet heart from hearing the shot fired.

Nigeria CannIbaIs Eat British Officer.

Reports from southern Nigeria sive an account Of the murder by natives of Dr. Stewart, medical officer at Owerri, an outstation. He was bicy cling along the road near the station and, losing his way, went on into an unfriendly country. For two or three days no news of his whereabouts could be obtained until at last a friendly na- tive came in with the information that Dr. Stewart had been caught by the Ahiras, a powerful race, who occupy most of the hinterland.
 It seems like a strange mingling of civilizations, but the reports are to the effect that the man was captured while he was riding bicycle and eaten by cannibals, his wheel being broken and made over into trinkets, which were worn by the chiefs at the feast.
