London's Many Churches.

Of London, with its mere handful OF
residents-only sufficient to people a
small provincial town-there are still
so many churches that you might wor-

Of the year without putting foot in
side them all. Within the rural dean.
cry of the east city there are today no
fewer than ten churches, each of
which ministers to a population of less
than 200; the aggregate number of
parishioners is 1,47S. while the
churches have accommodation for g.
700. thus providing almost two seats
for every possible worshiper, including
the infants in arms.

sNAkE sToRIEs poInr MORAL
II Nothing Else. They Show Folly Of
Exagseratina Horrors.

One of the significant features OF
this snake season. and Of any snake
season that occurs. which is every
year. is the very long length Of the
blacksnakes that are seen. This is
not at all remarkable. for about the
only thing a blacksnake has TO show
for itself is its length. II has no musi-
cal tail like the rattlesnake. nor the
puffedout head OF the kissing viper,
nor the livid. languid manners OF the
housesnake-it has only length. and
when with amazing speed 1t whips
through the deep grass or dead leaves.
it seems to be 30 or 40 feet long.
So truly does this little illusion ex-
ist that when a person tells of a
blacksnake seven or eight feet long.
he prides himself on great modesty OF
statement. And. by the way. we have
noted many blacksnake stories this
summer. and we have not encountered
snake under seven feet.
There was that story of a girl out
in York state. who heard her little dog
barking violently out in the stable.
She went there TO discover the cause.
and. lol that little dog was in fight
with a blacksnake seven feet long. Il
was great fight and the dog was do
ing heroic work, keeping the python
at bay. until the little girl hunted up
a pitch fork and with that dispatched
the serpent. which. the account says,
was seven feet long. or course, 1t had
to be seven feet, for there are no 9th
er kind.
Is there a moral to this? There is,
of course. to every snake story. 1t is
this. be exceedingly careful not to
make bigger than It is the horrible In
cident in your life which you encoun-
ter. See thai Jour blacksnake is un-
der seven feet long.-Ohio State Jour

FREAK TURTLE IN WASHINGTON

ability, will eventually go on exhibit

The turtle is a very little fellow, and
Is now in possession of bird fancier
It was captured over In Virginia some
time ago and brought to tha city by
hunter. II Is about as big as a silver
dollar, and looks like an ordinary
young land turtle. except that there
are two perfectly developed heads
sticking out OF its shell. Otherwise it
seems to be perfectly normal. Just
what its arrangements are inside no
one knows. but 1t eats with both
mouths and winks its four little bead

Digging Coal Under she ses.

Up in Cape Breton island, where
chere are a number of collieries. dig
ging out coal from under the sea, the
submarine area thus undermined now
amounts to about 16 ordinary farms of
100 acres each. The outer end of the
hole is something over a mile from
the shore. Strange as it may seem,
the workings have never been invaded
by sea water, although fresh water
streams have been encountered flow
ing out in the strata under the ocean
bed. The thickness of strata over the
mines varies from 800 to LAO feet.
About $3.50, 900 tons of coal have thus
far been taken from these submarine
workings and there is as yet no indi-
cation of failure of the beds.
