Within the lifetime of persons still
actively at work Great Britain was
so far ahead of the United States in
iron and steel production and manu-
facture that nobody on either conti-
nent expected to see the day when
we would catch up with that coun-
try. We passed 1t, however. in 1895.
In 1907 the United States produced
more iron and steel than Great Bril-
tain. Germany and France combined,
the countries which stand nearest TO

now beaten Great Britain in iron
production, but Germany is far be-
hind the United States, and always
will remain behind us, for she lacks
our resources in ore, coal and the
other ingredients which figure in iron
and steel manufacture. For the mo.

Hooded Snakes,

The hoods of snakes were unques-
tionably intended by nature to act as
weapons of intimidation. for when sud
denly opened as they are during the
excitement of contest. these give
their owners an apparent and forrida-
bic enlargement But the hoods which
have been so useful at some period in
snake history have now become so en-
larged rs to tend toward the extinction
of their owners. just as the override
velopment in the tusks of prehistoric
animals led straight to their destruc-
ton. During fight the hooded snake
in the act of striking his foe suffers
from the outstretched and weighty
hood-he overbalances himself and top

A Ghost Under the Sea.

The story is told Of diver who saw
two ghosts full fathom five" under
the surface. He had gone down to the
wreck of large steamer and was
crossing the main saloon when two
gray shapes Of enormous size came
stumbling toward him. He did not
wait to make notes for the Psychical
society, but gave the danger signal and
was at once pulled up. Told in the
cheerful light of day. it seemed rather
lame story. and another diver went
down to see what he could make of it..
Toward him also came the stumbling
gray shapes. He stood irresolute for Il
moment and then. going boldly for
ward, struck his Ratchet thrOugh-a
mirror. The ghosts were only a dim
reflection of his own legs. much en-
larged. of course. as everything is that

Condor Individuality.

We had the best chance of studying
the colors of the condor head. The bill
WIS horn color. and the red skin of the
head extended down, covering it about
halfway. The legs were tan. but on
each knee was a patch of red. On the
breast of each bird the skin was blood
red and could be seen occasionally
when the breast feathers were spread
and the birds We're preening. Both had
light colored wing bars. and the pr-
maries were we'll worn. The skin OH
the throat hung loose. and the lower
mandibe fitted close under the upper.
The chin was orange red. and below
this on the neck was strip of green
ish yellow merging into the orange
about the sides and back Of the neck.
The top and front of the head were
red, but between the eyes was small
patch of black feathers. and these eX-
tended down in front of the eye into
the orange red of the cheek. The pupil
of the eye WAS black. but the iris was
deep and red and conspicuous. The
bald and wrinkled pate. the flabby
jowls. with the cavein expression Of a
tOothless old woman-these helped to
make up the condor Individuality

wasp's Jaws Make coIony's Nest.

Wasps readily succumb before the
Increasing cold of autumn. The few
that escape the merciless scourge OF
mortality are the queens of next sea-
son. They pass the winter in some
warm Granny, and when the spring
arrives each comes forth from its hid
jng place and seeks Il suitable place
for the nest that is to be. This found,
the queen repairs to fence or tsee
trunk and with Ter jaw rasps off 4
bundle of wood fiber which when
mois,encd with saliva and kneaIeI
forms the paperlike substance of which
the nest is entirely constructed.
Just as bees have invented peculiar
nest building material in wax. so
wasps have prepared a special durable
paper for the same purpose. The queen
mother lays the foundations of the
city with her own jaws. She attaches
sort of stalk of wood paper to n
chosen support. This may be the
branch of n tree. root in a cavity
below ground or Il beam In garden
shed. The stalk prepared. the queen
builds Il few shallow cells, in each of
which she lays an egg. AS these ma
turc. hatch and develop into worker
waSps the labor of the little colony Is
turned over to them. and thus a vast
nest with thousands of cells is evolved.

contained what purported to be a rep
