She Worked the Snake Cure.

Novel crimes are occasionally COM
mitted In Paris. as. for instance: An
old gypsy woman called on doctor
living in the Place Pierriere and asked
him to visit her daughter, who was
lying iii in a caravan on the forti'ca-
lions near by. IT have tried the ser
pent cure" she said, "but there was no
result II you will allow me to pay
your fee in advance shall be sure you
will come"
The doctor consented, and the old
woman handed him 800 note. AS
be was getting the change out Of the
safe she again mentioned the serpent
cure" and he asked her what II was.
"This," she said, and, taking a box
from under her rags, she turned half
a dozen snakes out on the floor.
The doctor was startled and rushed
out of the room. When he returned
with a stick he found that the woman
and the snakes had vanished, while all
the money in his safe had also gone.
He still held the 500 note in his hand,
but this proved to be forgery.

A Victim Of Leprosy.

"On my travels In Venezuela" said a
New York man, II stayed in hotel
with a young man in whose family
there was the faint Of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have It One
night sitting at dinner he became an
cry at a waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force. He
instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his hand.
his face whitening with horror. Give
me your knife, Bob be said to his
chum. he grabbed the pocketknife in
frenzy and stabbed the side Of his
hand with vicious cuts from finger
tips to wrist. You may not know that
leprosy appears in the side Of the hand,
numbness being a sign. The man did
not feel the cuts. He arose from the
table, knocking over his chair. rushed
out into the courtyard OF the hotel,
and we heard the quick tang Of re-
volver shot, telling US how he had con-
quered the leper's curse by ending his
life"

vaaaris. of the Plumb Line.

One Of the curious things that men
of science have discovered In their In.
Vulnerable efforts to measure and map
the earth with the least possible error
is the fact that there are places where
the direction Of a plumb line is not
vertical. Irregularities Of density in
the crust Of the globe may produce this
phenomenon.
A remarkable instance has been
found In the island Of Porto Rico
where the deviation from the vertical
is 30 great that In mapping the Island
the northern and southern coast lines,
as shown on the older maps, had each
to be moved inward half a mile.-New

heroes of 10 years ago. Bunting and
