According to the latest reports from
Spain. King Alfonso and Queen Vic
toria have been spending few days
at Malaga, where they arrived on Nov
8. According to the Malaga despatch
announcing their arrival the local 20
lice had been advised before their Maj

archists had suddenly disappeared from
Barcelona. and consequently the most
rigorous precautions were taken for the
protection of the King and Queen dur
ing their stay at Malaga. All the houses
in the streets through which Their
Ma.esties We're to pass were carefully
searched. When the King and Queen
arrived at Malaga they met with cor
dial reception. They passed through
untoward incident.
On Nov. Alfonso and his bride are
reported to have attended mass on
board the Spanish cruiser Pelayo.
1t was the intention of the royal pair
to return to Madrid at the expiration
of their stay in Malaga.
\ rumor of plot to kill King AL
fonso was published in the morning
papers Of Madrid of Oct. %. According
to this report a stout wire HAD been
fixed across the high road at a point
which His Majesty would have to pass
on his way back to Madrid in an auto
mobile. The wire was found shortly
before the Kings automobile was due
and was removed.

AMERICAS FIRST COACH.
In 1744 Stage Line Was Started to
Run Between New Brunswick
and Trenton, N. j.


AS public conveyances, or the
stage coach, has been in vogue in
England since 1910, the establish
ment of a similar convenience was
demanded in America many years
before the war for independence.
AS early as 1744, therefore, a stage
line started to run between New
Brunswick and Trenton, N. j., and,
BY 1856, this route had been ex-
tended over from New York to
Philadelphia.
Moreover, as in England, so in
America-the advent of the stage
coach necessitated marked inn
provements in the highways,
while the building of better roads
and turnpikes naturally created a
greater demand for more coaches,
and, what was more to the pur-
pose, lighter vehicles.
In III there were but SO con
yeyances of every description in
the city of Philadelphia, but by
1894 their number had increased
to S27-more than two-thirds OF
which were comparatively light
vehicles a condition which led
one of the local papers to publish
most deprecatory article con
cerning the use of conyeyances in
which it was stated that the Gus
tom of riding was then being car
ried to such extravaganza that
seven farmers want carriages

SNAKES OF THE sARAwAK.
This Reptile with a Habitat in Bor-
neo spits and Kisses at Intru-
ders Like a Cat.

In a recent number of the Sara
wax Gazette is an article on the
snakes Of that part Of Borneo. Of
the poisonous reptiles it says;
~The cobra (naja tripudians) is a
black snake which raises its head
to strike when irritated, at the
same time expanding Che hood at
either side Of the neck. 1t spits
at intruders and Kisses like cat,
whence it is known as 'ular tedong
puss,' in some parts, too. as tie
dong 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 lilac
quainted with these animals, quite
number of large but harmless
forms are designated by this term.
The hamadryad (naja bungarusl
is a brown snake, considerably big
ger but rarer than the cobra. 1t
rathershy, but when cornered, like
the cobra, it raises its head and
expands the hood before striking.
Its food is chiefly other snakes.
LESS dangerous than these ma
jas 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 a 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 .ulur
buku tebu' (sugar-cane joints by
natives There are also sea
snakes Of many species. The tail
of a sea snake is fiattened and oar

reticulatus' grows to an
enormous size, over 20 feet. 1t 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 en-
brocation for bruises. The other
species of python, python curtus,
is interesting in that its flesh
tastes like that of a fowl, at least
so Dyaks say, and they are author
tiles on snake flesh, for they eat a
number of the large snakes"
