SNAKE HOLDS
Up THE MAIL
RURAL CARRIER HAS QUEER EN-
COUNTER WITH A SIX
FOOTER.

Washington, Pa, June 3.-Thos.
Dagg, a rural mail carrier, had an
exciting encounter with a big black
snake yesterday morning. Dagg's
two wheeled cart ran over the
snakes tail, the snake landed in the
bottom of the cart.
Dagg released his hold on the
lines and fell to the road. The horse
became frightened and ran away,
spilling two mail sacks. When the
horse was caught the blacksnake was
Iaund curled up on a mail sack In
the cart and looped several times
around the lines.

the primordial corpus collosum
that becomes developed in the
placentalia only. The blood, nerv-
GUS, and digestive system, accord
ing to my theory, was under direct
control of the protopsyche, or first
brain bladder, and underwent
modification IN proportion to the
development of the latter only.
This may or may not account for
the evolution of the osseous skele-
ton in the higher fishes from the
cartilaginous structure of the
Selachii; details on this, however.
including the organic phenomenon
of the nine remaining periods of
the earth's history, will be re-
served for the future.
Before summarizing the forego-
ing wish to speak of the semi
circular canals of the inner ear;
organs whose function is more es-
sential to the living machine, so
far as it's voluntary responsive
ness to the mechanical law is con-
cerned, than the brain itself. Ali
forms of organic life having the
power of choice in movements
possess the semi-circular canals in
some stage of their development;
a very rudimentary or highly diff
ferentiated organ performing its
function in correspondence to
the organization of the individual.
For many years biologists have
considered them as organs of orr
entation and equilibrium, and in
recent experiments in embryolog-
ical transplantation, this theory
became a fact, for it was found
that in all cases where the semi
circular canals are made to occupy
an abnormal position, all such ami
mails are unable to keep their bal
ance and, consequently, can nei-
ther walk, fly nor swim. Nature,
also, presents this phenomenon in
the japanese waltzing mice. The
abnormal development of the in
ner ear in these animals makes it
impossible for them to proceed
more than six inches, in straight
line, without losing their equilib-
rum and spinning. Certain stim-
ulents, of poor quality in large
quantities, exert pressure on the
canals and in the intermediate
stages of intoxication the same ef-
feet, with variations, is produced,
aud while the individual spins less
rapidly than he thinks he does, he
nevertheless spins. i

to existence because there is a
conservation of energy; correla-
ton of forces whose various forms
are convertible into each other and
whose Transformation arises from
the frightful velocity and electro
magnetic attraction of all astron.
omical bodies in space. Energy
exists in active and passive states
continually changing into each
other. In motion it takes the
form of heat, light and electricity;
at rest it makes up the biophores
of the chemico.gaseous elements
enveloping all cosmic bodies. The
chief property of the biophore is
inertia-passive to energy in any
form-and in coalescing with the
electric waves, sarcharging space,
it becomes changed particle or
corpuscle, an entity in itself. In
it's chemico.electric state the cor
puscle meets with repulsion from
the individual elements of its
composition and ricochets thru
space gaining terrific speed and
finding equilibrium in water only.
The word water is not used in a
literal sense. Congeries of ele.
mentary corpuscles reach a plan
cts surface because they have
formed in its course and because
the electrolytic attraction of it's
chemical properties is greater than
their own power of resistance. In
the Laurentian period, as now, the
electrolyzation of corpuscles in
water produced a jelly-like SUBJ
stance in which the latent energy
of the former was liberated by
breaking up and distributing GEN.

point of view, is why life origin

ical forms, in the ratio following:
aquatic animals from 80 to SO per
cent; developed man, 70 per cent;
herbivora, 80 per cent and the hu-
man embryo, 80 per cent. From
a homogeneous mass of protoplasm
itbecomes a differentiated organism

son, the electron acting on each
other liberate energy and, conse-
quently, radiate voltaic electricity
which is sustained in power be-
cause the sodium coalesces with
the unranyl.nirate thrown off by
the radio activity of the body
proper. Simultaneously, the sur
plus energy forms new outlets
which in turn becomes tissue and,
subsequently, permanent organs.
In OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of fis-
siparous-after the fertilization of
the sperm and egg, the ovum is

below the amphioxus the liberia

is distributed by, the nucleus of

produces current sufficiently vi
tai to animate their simple struc-
ture. From the amphioxus to the
placentalia the surplus energy of
the cells is secreted and distrib-
uted by the primitive head of the
cAoyda dorsaks and by the corpus
collosum in man and the higher
mammals. In word: life exists
because there is conservation of
energy; because energy is in a
continual state of Transformation
and hence, cannot diminish. Fur
ther than this: it is a physiolog-
ical fact that in the 280 days, from

GRAIN MEN SURVEY FIELD
Dealers of Omaha, Chicago and Iowa
Make Trip of winter
wheat Belt

About forty members and Officers Of the
Omaha Grain exchange. together with
many grain dealers from Chicago and Iowa
and Nebraska cities. left Omaha at p. m.
Saturday for a trip through the winter
wheat belts OF Nebraska, Kansas and
northern Oklahoma for personal inspection
OF the actual crop conditions.
The excursion was promoted by the Up
dixie Grain company and two special cars
were required for the grain men, who will
spend Sunday in Kansas and Oklahoma,
returning 70 Omaha Monday morning.
Many conflicting reports have been re-
oeived as to the damage wrought TO the
growing wheat crop In the southern states
by green bugs and dry weather, and it Is
desired to clarity the market situation by
personal inspection on the excursion.

will form highly desirable additions to the
city, as several of the tracts have been
left unimproved for many years. A large
force Of workmen have been employed for
some time putting the tracts in shape by
grading to the street levels and several
thousands of dollars are being expended
by the real estate firm in the work. Grad

The result Of the recent agitation has
been to make tax title spectators wonder
where they are at and II their money in
vested IN tax sale property is not tied up
for at lest five years. Buyers OF property
aecured In this manner are uniformly re
quiring that a quit-olaAm deed be secured
from the original owner Of the property
before accepting the tax title thereto, but
the question is still open where a duit-claim
deed cannot be secured which is In the
majority of cases, as the consent Of few
owners can be obtained TO transfer their
title TO their property confscated under the
scavenger law and bought by some specu-
iatOr at a low price. Members OF the Real
Estate exchange have been chary about
giving an opinion as to the merits or de-
znerits OF the soavenger law, but the ques-
