The Largest Truck.

The largest and most powerful truck
rolled into New York City the other
day. It has the strength to carry 100
tons. 2OO,000 pounds. and prior to the ere
alton of this monster the largest truck
could only carry 120,00 pounds The
building Of the Pennsylvania terminal
fathered the thought OF this truck. which
is called THE Whale" The immense
girders and columns that are 20 be used
in the construction Of the station could
not be handled without this truck, for
some Of the girdprs weigh ninety tons,
and will have 20 be hauled from West
Thirty eighth street and the North River
To the terminal. The owners Of the
Whale say that for every ton Of steel
loaded on 20 the truck one horse will
be attached; therefore. to haul a nirety-
ton girder viii require fOrty-five teams
The truck itself weighs eighteen tons
and it took six months to build it over
in Brooklyn. It is made mostly of steel,
wood being used only for the upper rests
and for the pole The rim Of each wheel
is fourteen inches wide, and the total
weight of each wheel is 1900 pounds
The boring for the axle hole of the
wheels cost $500. The front axle is four
teen-and-a-half inches thick at the cen
ter and seven inches at the ends. The
two axleS weigh 400 pounds.

Who is pretty, and who is smart, and
who guarantees the answer?
Aye. there's the rub! Is there anybody
any sweeter, any more beautiful, any

FRENCH TtLLo 1Ht CHAMp|UN SNAKE
 SIORy Hundreds Of RattlerS Blown Up With
 Dynamite
OFrom Saturdays Daily)

Near the old Tiger mlnc, m the Brad. shaw mountains, Wednesday last, oc- cured perhaps the greatest slaughter of rattlcsnakcs ever known m the his tory of the Territory, according Co the statements of C. A. French, the stone contractor, who returned from the Tiger camp last evening.
 Tho slaughter was the climax to n thrcc days search for the den of rat camp, who killed twenty-five tho day before the den was discovered. The de. strnction of the reptiles was accom-. plishcd by the aid of n charge of Her culcs powder, which scattered the rat. tiers all over the mountain side, which French says wns strcwn with thous' ands of wriggling pieces of snakes af. ter the charge exploded.
 The miners. who were annoyed by the rattlcrs on their way to and from work, decided. Wednesday, to start out and annihilnic all of the snakes found. They killed several before reaching n rocky place on the mountainsidc nhout qunr. fer of mile from camp, where they were amazed, upon looking down n large crcvicc in the rocks, to see count. less rattlcrs glistcning in the sun. An dcl was ont of the question, on account of the number of the reptiles, of all silcs some being almost as large around tho body as n good sized rabbit, and others yet in the Kindergarten class. The miners finally beat n retreat, and returned later with heavy charge of dynamite. which was prepared, and, af- fer the fuse was lighted, dropped in tho den. Tho fuse was made long enough to allow easy escape bofore the fire reached the powder. The delight of the miners, ns they viewed from n place of safety hundreds of rattlors blown high in tho mir by the impact of tho explosion, was supreme. All of tho miners in camp have secured all of of the rattlcs they could find as sou. vcnirs of the destruction of the pois onous reptiles
 Mir. French, lest the story be not be licvcd. says his statements can bo yer fled by F.. r. Newton. master mechanic nt the Tiger mine, who can bc easily communicated with by telephone.
