and, being in easy circumstances, he decided to visit Pittsburg again. He might or might not be able to find his relatives, if any were. yet living, but he could at least see the city and note the changes of the better part of life time. He left on his journey several weeks ago, but when he reached Pitts burg he was lost, except for the guide books, police and other officials who take care of strangers. He was pre- pared to be surprised and startled, but he was not prepared to be completely bewildered. He looked the city over to his satisfaction, but could find mo- body that he knew, or had even heard about in former days. Neither could he find anyone who knew anyone he could name as possibly relative. He had decided that he couldn't live very long in that smoky city and would not if he could, and was about prepared to give up all hope of finding any rela- tive, however distant, and return to Arizona again, when it occurred to him to apply to the police.
 The chief was found, but he said it was too far back in history for him to grasp, as he had only been living there during the period since he was born. However, he accompanied MT. Mccall len to the office of the mayor, who was an older man. He could not give any information either, but there chanced

to be a clerk in the office who had known people of that name and after working the telephone while rela- tive was found. A date was made for MT. McCallen to be at certain place the next day and when he got there he faced whole houseful of relatives.
 The face that most appealed to him was that of his sister, who was mar ried to a man he had known in child hood. The sister then handed to MT. McCallen a letter dated in 1864, written by brother, now dead for many years and addressed to MT. McCallen in San Francisco. It had been returned to the writer and kept in the family ever since, awaiting the day when his ad- dress should be made known. The letter was written in fine hand-writ- ing and the ink was certainly good, for it had not faded in the slightest, and the envelope carries the old fashioned three-cent stamp. The letter is mere ly about family matters, and states the anxiety to hear from the wanderer supposed to be in San Francisco.
 Mir. McCallen, who left for his home in Ray yesterday, said he could not and would not live in Pittsburg now, but he will surely visit the old home town and the relatives from whom he has been so long separated, every sum- mer from now until the end.

The boa constructor has first cousin in the United States. He is commonly known as a blue racer, and while non poisonous and helpful, he has remark able muscular power that he will use in strangling his prey, or in an attempt to paralyze the arms of his eaptors when opportunity offers itself. The brown blotehed pine snake of the southeast is also a constructor. The garter snake is the most prolific of the harmless snakes, sometimes eighty being brought forth at one birth. It may be accounted providential thing that the garter snake has many enemies, and as family is liable to meet with more accidents than any other, else they would soon overrun the country.

The coral snake is the most uncer- tain and consequently the luost dreadful of the poisonous snakes. His family relations alone should mal;e one sus- picious of him. He is closely related to the deadly cobra, the kraft and the Australian tiger snake, Samily of which nothing good can be said, and whose poison is of a particularly fatal nature. The coral snake is represented in America by the harlequin in the southeast and the sonora in the south west. When first captured or studied on his own heath, he is sluggish and seems not at all aggressive. Later he may suddenly seize upon the person nearest, turning with lightning.like rapidity, striking quickly and evincing the most violent temper without cause or warning. These traits make him more to be dreaded than the rattlers and moccasins, which tame easily, fight only in defense, and warn before they, attack.
 The coral snake is distinguishable by the broad rings of red and blacq, and the narrow rings of yellow which en- circle his entire body. Because half dozen other snakes have copied his bril-. liant eolors they have placed themselves under the ban of society, and have fallen victims by the score to the snake hunters. Le Conte s snake. the Arizona king, and milk snake of the southwest, the milk, the dwarf king and the scar let snake of the southeast have all for feited their lives because of this resem- blanee. The differences between these harmless and helpful snakes and the coral specie is that the gay bands do not encirele the entire body, but stop at the underside, where blotehes or other eolors take the place. The coral snake is borrowing snake, and in captivity if there is no convenient ground for burying himself for awhile, he will pine away and die.

In their markings, the snakes of the United States run more to stripes than to blotches, all striped ones but the coral being absolutely harmless and al way beneficial. These feed entirely on frogs, toads, rodents, fishworms and such things, the majority of which are enemies to the agriculturist. One of these of least use is the ribbon snake, for he eats no earthworms, and as civili- zation and cultivated fields come his way he fees further to the fastnesses of forest and mountain. The pilot blacksnake, despite his fondness for eggs and birds, eats so many red squir- rels, mice and rats, that he should long ago have been catalogued among the friends of man, though the later has let no opportunity pass to destroy him. The house., the milk and the chicken snakes are all harmless and helpful, al though they have never been protected While the chicken snake eats chickens, as the name implies, he also eats many more rats and mice, and is much less trouble to keep about the house than cat. He climbs high into the trees and among the rafters of house or barn. and from his high perch can spy upon his prey, seize and devour it with great rapidity.

One of the handsomest of the North American snakes is the "corn snake" with blotches on its vivid scarlet back. He is record breaker at destroying rats and mice and other small rodents. Of water snakes there are ten species in this country, sinuous, blotched or banded creatures, who live half the time in the water, and inhabiting always the swampy places where batrachian and fshy food in plenty can be found. Brown, green, olive, black and gray are the colors they wear, colors that blend with the logs and grass, trees and mud banks in which they lie, scheme that protects them from their enemies.
 There are great many popular fal- lacies in regard to snakes that scient- ist must disapprove. Phenomenal re- coveries, for instance, from the bite of a spreading adder are, after all, not so phenomenal, for this snake is harmless The woodsman will say that a rattler is ten years old because he has found ten rattlers on the end of it's tail. The number of rattles on snake has noth- ing to do with his age. It really ac- quires two or three rings the first year, and if one really wants to make an estimate from the rings, he must begin by allowing a button and at least one ring for the first nine months of his snakeship's life, and then add three rings for each year. The rattles often wear off on rocks and will not mature on an underfed snake. Scientists offer this method of discriminating between poisonous and harmless makes: Look on the underside of the body and the last few inches from the tip of the tail up ward will be found to be banded across with one scale in poisonous snakes and with two in others.

There are over eighty harmless snakes |, tbe United States, and only four that % poisonous. These four are the rat s.pake. the water moccasin or cotton nuth, the highland moeeasin or copper gal and the coral snake. The bite of 1 ss Florida rattler is the most poison | n, of all; in fact it is usually fatal, matter how carefully ligatures are listened above the puncture, and no latter how skillful the treatment given v ibe surgeon. This rattler sometimes T5vs to a length of nine feet, and is formidable enemy. The rattle family, |aEeyer. are all fair fighters. They do g attack unless molested, they warn -.sir enemy with violent ringing of the a,.les on the end of the tail, and in qrgnt the enemy retreats will uneoil nd back away into the bushes.
