THE MUCH MALIGNED SNAKE.

The much maligned snake is 10 be
vindicated. The curse that has threat
ened his poor little flat head for ages
is to be removed. Professor III. A.
Surface, State Zoologist of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, is the
champion of the reptiles that we have
been accustomed to view with horror
and kill whenever opportunity offered.
Determining to become an expert in
snakeology" and educate the people to
the proper knowledge of matters repti-
liam, Prof. Surface has made an ex-
haustive study of the subject and has
collected hundreds of snakes. which,
under his direction and by a corps of
enthusiastic young assistants, have
been dissected sketched and their
habits recorded, with a view to the
compilation of statistics and data for
the information of the citizens of the
country in general and of the schol-
astic institutions Of Pennsylvania in
particular"
So writes III. p. Jones in the Techni-
cal World Magazine for September.
He describes the work of Prof. Sur

Variations of Cards.

There are an enormous number OF
possible variations of cards In card
games. Every man when he takes UP
his cards at whist holds one out Of 635,-
OLE, 559, 900 possible hands. The total
number OF variations possible among
all players is so great as almost to ex-
coed behef. 1t has been calculated that
If million men were to be engaged
in dealing cards at the rate of one deal
every minute day and night for 10c,-
100000 years they would have exhaust
ed only a hundred thousandth part OF
the variations of the cards

Queen and Princess Victoria have pre-

Queen Alexandra has had placed in

extremely charming.

Edward Carson, K. c., formerly So

counsel with such success that the
Judge awarded her 1925 damages
against Mr.. Russell.
Speaking of her success as a lawyer,

Straight up the simmer of heat
rose from scorching sand, unlocked
by a painful of wind. A blistering
sun still beat upon the back Of the
traveller headed west; for it was not
yet noon.
The squeaking stirrup-eathers
chafed raspingly against the cowhide
boot-legs in the monotony Of the little
pony's pace, while slung holster and
felt-covered canteen jhumped the thigh
with occasional irregularity. The pack
animal, head extended in unwilling
lead, and out of time to the mount,
clattered stones in wearied clumsi-
ness.
The horseman wore a blue flannel
shirt, two buttons open at the throat
and sleeve-rolled to the elbow, reveal

Occasionally, at a stumble OF the
little beast that seemed to feel the
heat, the man would jerk him up and,
for a moment, would be somewhat
shaken from the thoughts which set
the broad upper lip in lines Of tension.
The dust, fine-powdered and alkali
white, rose and settled into the very
weave of the clothes.
The sun passed overhead and began
to look under the hat brim. 1t was
already past time for the midday halt
No spot differed from another sufii-
ciently to mark any distinction as
resting place; so, with the indifference
of worn custom the traveller grunted
halt and swung himself slowly from
