SEA SERPENT DESCRIBED.
Lives Along Tonquin Coast and Has q
Mustache.
From the British Medical journal.


From the British Medical Journal.
DR.. Raphael Blanchard, professor OF the
medical faculty Of the University OF Paris
and member Of the Academic de Medicine.
has been going into the question OF the sea
serpent and now finds himself in q position
not only to describe the monster but to give
n portrait of him. He has O head and body
like q seal but with an immensely long tail
and a very long and flexible neck. He is
also ornamented with a fine mustache. and
he Is believed to have a name. though this
does not appear to be quite certain.
DR.. Blanchard holds that the existence OF the
great serpent is beyond all doubt. He has
been seen several times in the Bay OF ALONG.
In 1904 he was seen by Lieu. Lagresile OF
| the French navy, commanding the Avalanche.
| and again by Lieut.. rEost. commanding the
gunboat Decide.
The latter officers account Is remarkable
for the precision OF its details. The length Of
the serpent which ne saw was at least twenty
metres: it had a large dorsal fin and a head
like O seals, but much shorter. It's skin was
80 tough that shells burst or it's surface APP
parently without more effect than tickling
the dome of st. Pauls would have on the
Dean and Chapter. DR.. Blanchard notes that 1t
Is on the coast OF TonQuin that the serpent
seems chiefly to show itself. and calls on the
Cochin China Government to organize an
expedition to capture the monster.
1t Is a curious fact that In a village on the
coast OF the Bay of ALONG a stuffed serpent
Is kept by the natives, who have built a tenn
pie for 1t and pay 1t divine honors.

joint stream form a delta like that Of the
Nile, which at the coast Is something like
200 miles wide.
Lacking the antiquity Of the cities Of the
interior, Calcutta does not possess many
things Of interest to the tourist-no elaborate
topbs, no massive mosques and few temples
Of Importance, although all shades of re-
1igton are represented here. There Is q
very pretty Jain temple In the suburbs,
and In the city there is a Hindu temple
where goats are offered as a sacrifice, but
the centre of Hinduism Is at Benares, while
Agra, Delhi and Lucknow furnish the finest
specimens Of the taste Of the Mohammedan
rulers.
That MARVEL, THE LEAF INSECT.
There are at Calcutta some fine public
buildings and less pretentious private
blocks, some beautiful parks and a very
extensive museum. In this museum one
can learn more o the various racesof India,
Of their dress, implements and weapons
more Of the animal and insect life;
more Of midas mineral wealth, moro Of
her woods, stones n marbles, more Of
her agricultural Products and manufactures
than he can In weeks Of travel.
He sees here mounted specimens Of bug
and butterfly, bird, fish and beast. 1t Is
the very Mecca Of the studenti and We saw
q number OF groups thus engaged.
Among the tnsects there are several
which illustrate the minicry Of nature to
q marvellous degree. eSome are Like dried
glass, like moss, and some like leaves. The
most remarkable Of these Is a leaf insect
which can scarcely be detected from a
leaf even after it has beer pointed out.
There Is a mountain grouse which tuYns
white In the winter, and In some countries
q hare, which undergoes the same change.
In Ceylon there are crabs with legs like
pieces Of coral and a color closely resembling
the sand upon which they crawl, but the
leaf insect surpasses them all.
Not only Is its color identical with the
leaf, but it's body and wings are veined and
ribbed like a leaf; v e rustspots could
be found on some of them. We could hardly
believe our W eyes had we not seem some
OF these insects alive and some Of the young
just Matched.
ABLE FOOTBALL RIOTERS.
The botanical garden, while not equal in
variety or beauty to the gardens at Buiten-
zorg and Handy, has one objectaf growing
interest, namely, q gigantic banyan tree. This
tree is nearly a century and a half old and
shades a spot Of ground almost a thousand
feet in circumference.
Great arms run out from the parent trunk,
and these are supported by 4A aerial roots
or minor trunks, some Of which are 'severa
feet in diameter. Seen from a distance
the tree presents a very symmetrical APP
pearanoe. and, as it Is still growing, it il
likely to, become, IL it is not already the
largest tree in the world.
The geological garden contains some ex-
cellent specimens. We were especially
interested in the Bengal tigers, in a red.

cross between a hog and an ape, and in the

hears.

To the voters of Nevada county: Having been nominated by the PopuliSt convention and having accepted the nomination. l am be- fore you as a candidate for the office of County Surveyor of Ne vada county. Owing to circum- stances over which I have no control. 1 may not be able to be present at the different places appointed to meet the people. Hence this article. 1 think 1 am sufficiently qualified for the po- sition to which 1 aspire having had considerable experience in the science of surveying. Should I recieve your support in the con- ing election it will be highly ap- preciated. And if elected. prom ise my very best efforts to make you a good County Surveyor.
 Respectfully.

You may keep a fellow in office

You may keep a fellow in office a long time and he gets so that if he charges you an unlawful fee and you object he becomes very much mortified. He seems to think the whole thing is his, that he owns the plant, that he has a perfect right to run it as he pleases, that he has the goods to sell and you can take them or let it alone. The doctrine of rotation in office is a wise doctrine. Again, we have never seen 1t fail that you keep a certain crowd in office for several years and will form themselves into a kind of office trust. They unite their influence and stand together and it is al- most impossible to oust them. None but the ring" need apply. Rotation is the cure for this mala- dy.

IS THE PLEDGE BINDING

Sometimes we are met with this kind of a proposition: A man says T voted in the primary cleo tion, but I do not want to vote for the nominees. What do you say?"
 Some two months ago, the Sun- day School lesson was about John the Baptist being beheaded by Herrod. John was a prophet and he told Herrod that it was not lawful for him to have his broth CT Phillips wife. Herrodius was the woman, and she became very angry with the Prophet for this insinuation of her chastity. Well one day, it was on Herrod's birth day, he made a feast and was fairly drunk on wine, when the daughter of Herrodius danced be- fore the King Herrod and he was pleased. He told her that he would grant any request of hers to the half of his kingdom. She sought her mother who told her to ask for the head of John the Baptist. When she made this request to the king he was sorry, but he made the VOW, and rather than break the VOW, the old sin ful scoundrel had John the Bap- tist beheaded and gave the head to this damsel on a plate.
 The question was: Did Her rod do right in keeping his prom ise?"
 The question was asked of a million Sunday School children on that Sunday, if it was right to keep a promise to do wrong? Every one of them, we suppose told that 1t was not right to keep a promise to do wrong.
 Then it follows that if man has promised to vote the demo- cratic ticket in this county at the forthcoming election, and he be- lieves that the Populists are bet ter men and will make better officers, he has simply promised to do wrong, and to keep that promise is only doing another and greater wrong.
 The conscience of an American citizen cannot be bound by any such met hods.
 We are Americans first. We serve our country first and our

He is right, and we give him credit for that.

When Christ was before Pilate he was asked, What is Truth?' The wholeworld has been wonder after the same inquiry. What is truth? Do we really desire to know?

And really is it the candidates

And really is it the candidates gain?
 It is a very short range of vision that cannot see that the pitiful mite in the way of office, place and power can not compen- sate a man for corrupting the morals of his government and dragging his country in the filth of the basest character of cor ruption.
 Gan any honorable citizen vote for man who will use whiskey to purchase his own election?
 We did not ask if any christian could do this. It is not necessary to ask such a question. Every body knows that to vote for such an one would be to sanction his conduct. No christian could hesi- tate on proposition of that kind.
 Can any honorable man vote for a candidate who will use money to bribe voters or corrupt the ballot?
 The man who buys a vote is guilty of the crime of Bribery. Do you expect any good from a criminal of that kind? Can you expect any purity in the official conduct of an officer who ob- tained his office by theft, fraud or crime of any kind?
 It behooves every good citizen to array himself against such office seekers.
 Why should man desire an office that he knows a majority of the people do not want him to have?
 Why should not any man be willing to leave the people to act honestly and seberly for their own good?
 We all want good government. We cannot believe that there is one man in ten in this county who, after sober reflection will be willing to be a party to the destruction of good government and his own future welfare.
 Friends, the time the country needs you is the first Monday in September.
 The time to deliberately choose between righteousness and un- righteousness is the day of the l election.
