which, if it were possible to preserve
them uncut, would reach the phenome-
nal length of seven feet nine inches
Exactly on what argument this state
ment is based it is hard to say, for
little observation will show that dur
ing the greater portion of a mans life
he cuts his nails on an average once
week, and at each pairing removes
sixteenth of an inch, or the equivalent
of a quarter of an inch a month,
working out at three inches in a year.
This would give him a growth of seven
feet six inches during the thirty years
he lives between 20 and so. In the
other forty years, when the growth is
less rapid, he would certainl produce
four feet of nails, so that eleven feet
is a better average for the nail produc-
ing capacity of man. 1t should be
noted, however. that the growth of the
nails on the right hand is, in most
people, more rapid than those in the
left, and it may be that the scientist
in question has based his argument on
the length of the finger thus, the other
curious point is that the rate of growth
of the nails depends directly on the
length of the finger; thus. the nails on
the two middle fingers of man grow
more rapidly than those on the first
and third fingers, respectively, and
these, in turn, are more speedy in their
growth than those ON the little fingers.
Again, nails ''ripen" quicker in sum-
mer than in winter when the cold
seems to render them harder

1t is a very common fallacy concern
ing rattlesnakes that each segment of
the rattle indicates a year of the sell
pent's existence, and it will probably
be accepted until some one devises a
safe method of examining the teeth
One has only to stand for a half hour
in front of the rattlers' cage at any
geological garden or museum to hear it
repeated several times, together with
many other bits of transformation
which make the average Mature Sto-
ry seem statement of bald fact by
comparison.
Although the young rattlesnake comes
into the world equipped with but a
single button on the end of its tail,
when year old it may have as many
as half dozen segmentS, while three
year may be taken as a fair average
development In hunting crawling
over rough country and through tan
gled brush, the rattles are apt to be
injured or lost, and occasionally a very
large specimen is seen with but two or
three segments, while one of the band
ed variety procured in Pennsylvania
for the Bronx zoo was less than three
feet in length and possessed seventeen
perfect rattles, the absence of the ter
minal congenital button demonstrating
that one or more pieces had been lost
A segment is added to the rattle each
time the snake casts its skin, and this
may occur every month Of the snakes
active season, which in the northern
states lasts from May until the first
severe storm of winter drives it to the
den for its long Information. This cast
ing of the skin, which is common to all
serpents and many of the lizards, is a
curious provision to protect the reptile
from disease and discomfort, and, like
most of natures provisions, it is a
wise one.
Since the day when the serpent was
condemned to crawl abject on its belly,
instead of wriggling gracefully upoa its
tail, as a punishment for whispering
suggestions for the fall into the eager
ear of Eve, ii has been peculiarly liza
BILE to inJure its sensitive integument,
and spending It's existence in close con-
tact with the ground 1t becomes the
unwilling host of many ticks and para
sites which are harbored by the decay
ing vegetation. Any unfortunate who
has accumulated a few wood ticks and
laboriously removed them from his
hide with the point of a knife and am
monia will appreciate how much easier
1t would be to grow a new skin and
envy the serpent the ready means at Its
disposal to rid Itself of the unwelcome
pests.

publicans declare that the Democrats,
and The Herald are in league with the
American" party. They know better,
but it suits their purpose to be dishon-
est about it. They would much prefer
to see the Americans win rather
than have Morris elected, because the
election of Morris would deprive them
of their chief political asset, the ap-
peal to religious prejudice Without
the American" party as an excuse
there could be no gum-shoe call for
religious influence in political affairs
no plea for the alignment of voters on
religious lines. and the mainstay of the
Smoot machine would go by the board
at the first election.
Haven't the Republicans chosen for
their chairman one James Devine, who
declared himself an American" two
years ago?
Didn't Devine make written applica-
ton to Mayor Thompson after he was
elected. in which Devine's support of
for making him chief of the fire de-
partment?
Does anybody suppose Devine would
hesitate minute if he had to choose
between American" and Democratic
victory?
And isn't it natural to suppose that
his first and chief object in the cam
paign is to insure the success of the
Americans" whom he supported two
years ago If he sees that his newly
adopted love. the Republican party,
cannot win?
If the Republicans could convince
any large number of voters that they
stand a chance to win, the only result
would be the election of Bransford.
They know that as well as anybody,
and that is probably why they are
working so strenuously to divide the
Democratic strength. They don't want
to see politics restored to straight par
ty lines; they don't want to give the
Democracy a chance to carry the city;
they and their chairman may think
there is a bare possibility of Repub-
lican success, but it would please them
much better to have another "Amerf-
can" administration than to have Nor
into power on Jan. 1.

THE THIRD THAMES BRIDGE,
Oondon Chronicle. J


Blackfriars bridge, now being encased
with the preliminary staging for its
widening, is not the original bridge erect
ed there in 1859. That was christened Pitt
bridge, and halfpenny toll was charged
for pedestrians on week days and a pen
ny on Sundays. 1t was the third bridge
across the Thames. and It would prob
ably be standing now but for the I'M

building of London bridge in 1881 Old

by the new London bridge. Though
Westminster bridge was the point

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD.

Stanly Hail, president of Clark uni
versity, and probably the foremost au-
thority on child nature, is not in SYM
pathy with the modern methods of
rearing children so far as they tend to
over-rapid development. In a most in
teresting study of the child as an ami
NAL, from its primary origin to its
physical majority, he declares that the
quality of the child is the test of IA
therhood and motherhood; that those
are the best men and women who can
produce and bring TO fullest maturity
of body and soul the most and best
children. 1T is weakness to evade,''
he says, ''and folly to dispute this con-
clusion. 1t is embodied in the high
est, richest, wisest philosophy of life.
To secure this end is the ultimate
test by which to measure the worth of
religion, the state, the family, educa-
ton, science. and all social and polit-
zeal institutions; for all are good or
bad, according as they help on or di-
vert from this supreme end of man."
That is pretty strong doctrine for
the men and women who evade their
responsibilities that they may enjoy
their own selfish pleasures the more
and shift the burden of life to others
But it is so obviously true as to be
unbeatable. Further, the notion that
a boy or girl is to be rushed into school
and through the earlier stages of devel-
opment into maturity and RESPONSE
bility is only another way of unloading
on others the cares that should be
shouldered by parents.
The prime need of children. accord
ing to DIR. Hall, is to develop to the
uttermost each of the stages through
which children pass; not to omit them,
but to live them. We must realize that
animal that their ways are not our
ways, and that they need to do no end
of things that would be silly. and a
great many that would be positively
wicked for adults to do.
Today children need retarding in
their development far more than they
need acceleration. They tend to rush
ahead and become adult before they
should. The best way to strengthen
and broaden is to delay. to allow chill
dren to linger in their paradise and get
fold stages that heredity offers.

BIG FRESH-WATER PEARL.
New York WORLDLY

Probably the largest pearl ever found
in the Mississippi river in the past quar-
ter of a century was picked up one day
this week. 1t is as large as a walnut and
weighs nearly 40 grains and is estimated
to be worth from 49, 900 to $4,000.
The pearl was found by Haben Smice,
clam fisherman. and lay in an extraor-
binary sized clamshell, and is almost
round in shape. The gem found by Smice
was blue when it lay in the shell and
has black spot or blur on the side, but
this will not affect its value in the opin-
ion of experts. SIS the outer surface can

FIRST AID TO "AMERIcANs.~

Having no other excuse for asking
the support of the voters in the city
election, the Republicans have fallen
back on their plea of two years ago
that the only way to beat the "Ameri-
cans" is by voting the Republican
ticket. When that plea was sprung in
the last city election, it buncoed lust
enough wavering voters to beat the
Democrats and elect the Americans ~
with what disastrous result every tax
payer can tell by looking at his assess
ment notice this year.
1t Will be remembered that Lynch,
the.-Republican candidate of 1905. car
Fled just one election district in the
city. He was well known, he had been
in political life, he knew the game and
he had the same men behind him who
named DR.. Plummer as their candidate
this time. If anything, the conditions
then were more favorable for the Re
publicans than they are now: and
Lynch barely had enough votes to ap-
pear among the also-rans.
have of making any sort of showing In
the race this year is by deluding voters
as they did two years ago, into the
belief that Plummer has a chance tn
win. 1t is so slim a chance that few.
very few of the Republicans them
selves take it seriously, and their man
ayers look upon fusion with the Dem
oerats on councilmen as their only
chance TO save something from the
wreck of their party in Salt Lake.
X X
Naturally, under such conditions. the
Republican managers are incensed at
the refusal of the Democrats to fuse
with them. They abuse the men who
oppose fusion as if they had some right
to dictate to Democrats the course
their party should take. These Repub-
lican highbinders. whose chief aim in
life has been to demoralize the Democ
racy In order that the Americans,
might win. talk as if they ought to be
consulted and deferred to i'm matters
that concern the Democratic party. Not
DdTJV
in twain and keeping up a factional
fight that has injured the city and
state UNNECESSARILY, they act as though
they expected to run the Democracy
of Salt Lake also.
Why should Democrats nay any at
tention to the grievances or advice of
Pussy Jimmy" and Callister and
Spry and their syndicate of federal
officeholders? What business have they
I'm Democratic councils, and why should
they complain because the Democracy
ignores their pitiful plea for help in
the city election?
Wasn't it Spry who said he would go
out and get two Democrats for every
Republican he lost by the detection of
"Americans?"
Wasn't it Smoot and his federal
officeholders who deluded the voters
two years ago and made certain the
election of Thompson at the eleventh
hour when Morris would have won but
for their bunco game?
They didn't talk fusion then. nor did
they profess any great preference for
the Democrats as against the "Ameri-
cans" On the contrary. they and they
alone. were responsible for Thompson's
fuke victory, and they should not be
permitted to forget it.

also. that Mr.. Newhouse is not only
with the Democratic party in this cam
paign, but that he is with 1t in an ag-
gressive way as chairman of its finance
