Killed Eleven Big Rattlers.
M, ha Arfy Ropuh1Irop

The first snake story Of this fiscal year,
and probably it's most important one. has
been brought in by Perry Sears. On jan
uary p he killed eleven rattlers, which he
found In bunch while riding the Sears
range of Camp creek. He rode to the top
of the surrounding country for cattle.
On reaching the summit he saw some
thing that made him forget the cattle. A
few feet in front of his horse lay an i'm
mense RATHER and nearby was another
nearly as large. He shot the heads off both
of them and then he began TO see snakes
in all directions. When he finished the kill
ing eleven snakes lay about without heads
He skinned three Of the largest, the skins
measuring when he got back to the ranch
house from five feet to five feet seven
inches.
Snakes are seldom seen even in this mild
climate at this season of the year. but these
had sprung" the season and were out sun
ming themselves. Another unusual thing
was that the snakes were all very fat, not
withstandng their long winter fast. They
We're naturally not very active. but were SO
much to raise their heads from the

In New York Last year, IT appears a pro-
lessor in one of the Paris universities re-
solved to study the habits OF Holsters in his
laboratory. AS they live in salt water. the
first care of the professor was. of course to
procure supply of this medium. The com
mon mortal will probably consider 1t most
simple task to provide few barrels Of sea
water. This, however, Is not so in France
Sea water contains salt, and the production
or salt Is source of revenue. This ma de

reached the ministry a subordinate official
was directed to inquire into the standing

| numerous channels and finally reached the
chief of the department who now initiated
another investigation in order to ascertain
why a Partisan professor should be so anx-
fous to lower the level Of the Atlantic
ocean. After several weeks the inspector

later the petitioner was notified OF the IA
vorable consideration OF his request in the

panied by circulars giving extracts from
the penal code relative to infringements Of
of waiting. the professor was enabled to
have some casks filled with salt water, al
a designated point on the seashore, of
course under the supervision of another
official, who duly issued a permit for the
transportation of the liquid into the interior.

Electricity as q Motive Power.

From the Wall Street Summary.
In ten years or thereabouts. experts
claim that the motive power In use on all
the important railroads In this country Will
be electricity. They believe the passing or
the steam locomotive is inevitable. Five
years ago. they point out. electricity was
only used for overhead trolleys and few
unimportant experimental attempts; today
our elevated and subway trains are pro
PEELED by II. and on the New York Central
more than two hundred electric trains pass
through its tunnels daily. The action or
the Central In railroad electrifcation, II is
believed. will be followed by other roads.
and. In comparatively few years, will make
steam locomotive as unusual sight as
the horse car OF a former age.
Recent expert Investigations claim many
advantages for electrified trains over. those
propelled by steam. to wit: They can run
on closer Roadway; they can be operated
at considerably higher speed. and II the
equipment be properly designed and in
stalled, are essentially safer than steam
traction. The basis OF this argument Is
that in case Of rear-end collision the
propelling energy can be shut off with
great promptness, while there Is no danger
OF fire such as is ever present and nvari
ably follows when a steam locomotive with
1000 pounds of ignited coal in its flreboX
comes in violent contact with combustible
material like wooden cars Boiler explo-
sions and absence of smoke in tunnels.
thereby enabling a clear vision of signals.
are other matters OF great advantage and
Importance not found I'm steam locomotion.
The running Is smoother and this eiimi-
mates the danger of broken rails through
hammer blows Of steam locomotives
Perhaps the principal advantage OF the
electrically equipped train Is the ability
with which its power can be cut off when
danger Is imminent. If a signal operator
permits a train drawn by a steam Iocomo-
tive to pass. and then learns Of another
train approaching in the opposite direction,
he Is powerless to avert a collision. By
shutting or the power I'm case the trains
are electrically equipped, such a catastro-
phe can be averted.
