Hatching Snakes.
(Scientific American.)

Because of the popular aversion to
the serpent family, there is q sur
prising amount of ignorance about
even the simplest of snake habits. 1t
is doubtful IL many correct answers
could be given to the question whe-
ther snakes lay eggs or bear their
young alive. AS d matter of fact,
some species are viviparous and 9TH
ers oviparous. Most Of the poisonous
snakes, as well as many Of our harm
less varieties, belong to the former
class. In the case of the viviparous
species, the eggs remain in the owl
duct SO long that the young are
Matched therein, while in other spe-
cies the eggs undergo partial in
cubation in the oviduct and are
Matched soon after being laid. Such
snakes are sometimes classed as owl
viviparous.
hatched from the eggs. This species
is closely allied to our common water
snake and goes by the scientific name
Tropidonotus natrix. Curiously
genus Tropidonotus are viviparous,
and this species alone lays eggs. Fur
thermore, according to Gadow's
"Amphibia and Reptiles" the new
laid eggs usually show not the slight
est visible sign of an embryo, unless
oviposition is delayed, when the en-
bryos are more or less developed.
The eggs are laid in July or Az sust
vegetation, or in a heap of manure.
The older snakes sometimes lay as
many as a dozen eggs or more, and
they usually stick together so that
the entire cluster can be picked up
at once. Sometimes, however, If
tho process of laying is slow, they
will be separated. The eggs are
about an inch long and Of a whitish
yellow color. The shell is thin and
flexible like parchment. The young
hatch in late summer or autumn.
Before Matching, they develop a
sharp calcareous growth On the tip
of the snout known as the egg tooth,
with which the shell Is slit open. I'm
like Matching chicks, which are sud-
denly dispossessed by the breaking
Of their brittle shells, the young
snakes may make many incisions in
the parchment envelopes and take
many peeps at the outside world be-
fore venturing forth into the new en-
vironmenta Shortly after Matching,
the egg tooth is lost.
A. first, the young live on insects
and worms, but within a few weeks
they are strong enough to attack and
devour young frogs. Strangely
enough, although the adults are very
strong swimmers, and spend much
time in ponds and streams hunting
the fish and frogs on which they sub
sist, the young are unable to swim
and they Will soon drown If they fall
into the water. The European ring
snake, as we'll as the American water
snake, makes an excellent pet; it is
perfectly harmless. becomes very
tame, and learns to know the differ
ence between friends and strangers.
Gadow tells Of pet ring snake that
would eat from his hand, crawl up
his coat sleeve and coil itself con-
tentedIy on his arm.

FRESH PROTEST ON
BOILER ORDINANCE

Protests and counter protests con
lnue 10 come 10 the ordinance com
mittee with regard TO the revision of
the boiler ordinance. The last protest
is signed. by several insurance cora
panies and by the proprietors OF seN'
eral downtown hotels and office build
ings. II is directed against the con
templated drafting of Il new ordinance
by the commission OF three engineers
appointed by Prof. Mortimer Cooley
last winter.
The petitioners say that they are op-
posed TO any plan of having city In
spections simultaneous with insurance
Inspections. which they characterize as
being as absurd as having police
man cover his beat twice in one day
and not go near IL the next day. They
add their belief that the city is bein (
used for the benefit OF private parties.
The Cadillac Motor Car Co. has pc
titicned that copies of any proposed
revisions of the boiler ordinance he
printed and distributed To all manu-
facturers and steam users.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE pres
ident has just signed proclamation
recreating the Wheeler national mon
ument in the Rio Grande National for
est. Colorado. The tract included by
the proclamation is situated on the
south slope and near the summit OF
the continental divide at all elevation
OF approximately IL 500 fee; above sea
level
The principal value Of the land as
a national monument lies IN the fact
that the fantastic forms resulting from
the rapid erosion OF the rock and soil
make the spot one of exceptional
beauty. Historical Interest also at
taches 10 the region. as it is believed
that the ill-fated expedition OF John
c. Fremont was overtaken by disaster
in this immediate vicinity and was
forced to turn back

railroad point from which the Wheel
or national monument Is accessible,
and at present it can only be reached

QUESTIONING THE JURORS.

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 1.-THE jury
in the trial OF Frank Il. Glazier, eX'
state treasurer was completed AZ
1880 o'clock today and the prosecute
made his opening statement The dc
tense followed a new course at the
opening OF the trial today by question
ing the jurors as To whether they had
been depositors in defunct banks
Three Jurors stated that they had been
tepositors in banks that had failed
and two OF them were excused from
further service in the case.
The prosecution and defense eacn
FAD one peremptory challenge LETT
this morning The defense was very
caretu. III the seIectIOn OF jurors and
challenged for the least cause. Twelve
men were In the box when court was
called &c order today. Ten OF these
men were farmers and have an inti.
mate knowledge OF the stateStreasury
scandal.
The jury is made up as follows:
Fred j. Hoehm. Delhi. farmer;
Frank p. Smith. Lansing, mechanic;
w. A. Petty. Mason, painter; Jacob
Niebling, Meridian, farmer; Charles

Twenty eight OF those summoned for
fury duty had been excused when
court adjourned yesterday. Most or
them admitted that they had formed
opinions as TO the guilt or innocence
Of the defendant, but they insisted they
could give him fair trial. Several
were promptly excused when they
stated that they had formed tirmly-set
opinions. A man named Warner was
examined. Asked If he was relative
OF Gov. Warner, he said he never heard
that he was.
During the examination of jurors by
the defense, these questions were
asked:
May not the cause Of Glaciers
banking troubles nave been the loose
condition OF Michigan's banking laws?
Ibid you ever hear that Glazier may
have acted within his duties as pre-
scribed by the state banking laws?
IF, when all the evidence that will
be submitted as TO the guilt or limo
cence OF Glazier has been introduced,
and there is a doubt in your mind as
to his guilt, would you give him the
benefit OF that doubt or would you
hesitate to do so from feeling that
II you did your neighbors would criti-
cize you when yon went home?'
