Sea Snakes Hard to Get.

Collecting sea snakes for the scien-
tific institutions is difficult process.
If the collector is to obtain anything
like a fair proportion of the so odd
species he must cruise through Ma
layan seas in a small boat and be ever
on the watch. The only way to obtain
a series of the species is to shoot
them. Sea snakes come regularly to
the surface for air, but the collector
is lucky If he gets one out of every
ten snakes he sees.

two chops the other night, intending

Why He "Let EN- Grow"

Yes, I've given up shaving" he told
his friends. Il never could shave my
self, and the last time l was operated
on l was in such q blue funk that l
shudder to think of it. The barber
had a musical ear. and he lathered me
to the tune of The Blind Boy which
was being ground out by a barrel organ
close by. Slow certainly, but nothing
to complain about. BY the time the
scraping process had commenced the
tune had changed to the liveliest of
jigs, and the musical shaver seemed to
be enjoying himself hugely as he did
his best to keep time. l was afraid to
take a breath for fear it would be my
last.
""Then the organ stopped, but only
for a second, and when | heard the
strains of Stop Your Tickling, Jock 1
vowed that rather than run the risk of
being finished off in a BARRIERS chair
by a musical maniac l would let EN-
grow for the future and chance the
crop."-Modern Society.

successful experiment is valuable as
showing that in case of emergency one
need not starve so long as cacti
abound. The prospector lost on the

A Whisper from Nature.

A bird carolling forth the gladstone
ness Of freedom on the morning air, and
a softening look in the sky seemed to
summon us forth, for a ramble towards
where reckoning trees nodded a well
come, and we were up and off. Through
field and pasture-land we wandered
filled with a spirit Of thankfulness, for
TIE j~oyousness Of living, where Gods
fresh air was plentiful and free.
Somehow the chill of a late frost had
been dissipated in the warmth OF the
balmy spring air, and all nature smiled
a welcome to the wearied "shut-in."
Winding in and out along the bank OF
the river, we at last espied a lone toiier
shaping a bower on an island retreat.
Shouting a peaceful salutation, we were
answered with welcoming response, u
clambered through a network OF bushes
to a bungalow of unique construction.
Here we were entertained to a tale OF
fairy landscapes, restful retreats, and
pleasant paths, through a wilderness OF
green-Ieafed woods and trailing vines.
Arm in arm we wandered with our
guide, to find that he was seeking to
bring to realization an ideal spot, for
recreation and repose. Springs OF pure
fresh water, bathing pools for the little
tots, secluded and private toilet for the
gentler sex, tustic seats, bungalows. and
tables for picnic parties, all enter into
the scheme of this kindly old gentle
man, who desires to add to the happl-
ness of the people of this community,
by providing a place of sequestration,
away from the confines of business and
home cares, yet hear enough to be read
lily accessible. In the northern part of
the city, there is also a speedway for
those who love to test the mettle of their
steeds, and a basketball ground for the
young ladies.
While this is free, it must be distinct
ly understood, that none of Comrade
Corwin's schemes include a place for
the dissolute or dissipated, but the pur-
ity of youth, the innocency of childhood
and the ~graciousness OF declining years,
will find a welcome. which bears no sect
or creed, but extends fellowship to all.
When Nature beckons, why resist?
Just let thy brow by winds be kissed:
And turn thy thoughts from moneyed schemes,
To lave thy soul in pleasant dreams.
While Nature smiles a welcome.

A WAR OF MAPS.
Bolivia Wiped Out England and the
British Isles.

SASS
Bolivia is the only country that ever
wiped England off the map" said
Frank Robertson. 1T came about this
way: The British ambassador several
years ago gave a dinner for the official
and social circle people of Bolivia.
"When they arrived at the embassy
they found that he was not married
to the Oma seated at the head of the
table, and they left. In the name of
his government he demanded an apol-
ogy, whereupon the government gave
him twenty-four hours to get out Of
the country.
"InaSmueh is little Bolivia is way
OF the ocean and practically lost in
the eternal mountains Great Britain
could not by guns get the r~etraction
that she wanted, but her mapmak-
ers got revenge by issuing maps Who'll
ly eliminating Bolivia.
FINALLY this information reached Bo-
Iiyia, ~whereupOn with a stroke of the
pen new maps were ordered for the b.
lfvian government and the Bolivian
schools. They showed more ocean
than any other maps eve printed. The
British isles had been sunk into the
sea. And SO far as the people and
school children of Bolivia are concern
ed there is no Great Britain."-Indian-
apolis News.

Lived on
the Spineless
Cactus.

II s cactus good to eat? Yea, verify,
says DR.. Leon NJ. Landone OF
Los Angeles, who has lived well
for two weeks at a stretch on
cactus exclusively. DIR. Landone sub
sisted upon the spineless cactus devel-
oped by Luther Burbank, the Califor-
MIA fruit and vegetable wizard. For
ten years Mr.. Burbank patiently ex-
perimented with the pesky cactus of
our great deserts, which is covered
with perilOus stickers like quills upon
the fretful pOrcupine, so that man or
beast avoids it instinctively. Burbank
believed that by patient cultivation ne
could eliminate the spines. He has
done so. producing a very gentle and
harmless breed of cactus that can be
caressed with the naked fingers with
out injury.
DR.. Landone, being a scientific in
v~estigator, proposed to ascertain if the
spineleSs cactus would sustain human
life, and he proved that it would. At
first he lost a little weight, but later
he regained the loss, and at the end of
the fOrtnight's novel diet he was very
fine and fit. During those two weeks
he did much mental and manual la
Dor without feeling any more fatigue
than he feels when doing similar work
under a general diet.
The spineless cactus is no better food
the spined cactus. 1t is merely
safer and more comfortable eating.
The only reason why cattle on the
great plains where cacti grow have
not eaten them to their fill these many
years is the reason eliminated by Bur
bank-the spine. Indians and some
white men have eaten cactus and
found it palatable and nutritious. Now
that the Burbank brand of ~stickerless
cactus bids fair to become general in
time if properly cultivated. it is be-
lieved that the problem of cattle graz
ing on the semiarid desert areas of our
great west and southwest will be solv-
ed by the simple matter of letting the
and steers eat cactus when the
grass runs out or when they prefer
to grass.
On the far western deserts the cac-
us grows to a bulk Of 600 pounds in

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.
What Great Britain Owes to Holland
and Pepper.

1t is curious to remember that when
England'S commercial greatness was
a-making her most serious rival was
Holland. But the enterprising Dutch
men ruined their chances by their
greediness. There was a popular little
couplet which ran:
In matters of m the fault of the
Dutch
Is giving too little and asking too much.
The whole course of English pre-
dominance abroad might have been
changed if the Dutch had not asked
too much"
In the closing years of the sixteenth
century they had Il trade monopoly
with the East Indies, and they put
up the price of pepper to such a point
that the English consumer struck"
A meeting of London merchants
made one December afternoon a deci-
sion the Importance of which to Eng
Ii, / cannot be exaggerated. 1t was
No ling less than the resolution to
fO"m a London East India company.
The petition of these merchants to
good Queen Bess was granted in a
royal charter of incorporation.
The company, founded at first to es-
tablish direct trade communication
with the east and lower the price of
pepper, OOn took to itself larger pur-
poses. Fleets of merchant ships came
and went between England and India,
and from the quarrel about pepper the
corporation Of merchants was deS-
tined, through Give and its "nabObs,"
to give England a vast empire.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

MusseIs of Philippine.

During August and September as
many as 1000 to 1900 sacks. each con-
tanning nearly 200 pounds of musseIs,
are dispatched every Wednesday from
Philippine alone. Holland, Belgium
and France are the best customers of
the Philippine mUssel farmers, but
quite a number of the cherished she'll
fish find their way across the channel
from the Dutch beds to the Britishers'
dinner table. In Philippine mussels
form, n may say, the staple food Of
the population. They are consumed in
every possible manner-stewed. fried.

relish alive.-A Pitcairn-Knowles il

was that?"

FRIENDLY ANIMALS.
The intimacy Between Them and Man
In Yellowstone Park.

In Yellowstone Park.
One of the most pleasant features Of
the drive through the Yellowstone Ma
tional park is the apparent intimacy be-
tween man and the animal and bird
life in the park. Thanks TO the wise and
stringent regulations, no shooting Is
allowed within its boundaries. The
result" says an English tourist, us
positively charming. Hundreds of little
chipmunks, with their gaudy striped
backs, scamper impudently about or
peer at the passing coach from the
roadside. The squirrel did not bolt for
the nearest tree, but nodded n vel
come. All bird life treated us like
wise. Even the lordly eagle lowered
near, and the wild turkey stalked I'M
concernedly through the rank grass.
We perceived q doe and a fawn graz
ing by the road. Not until we were
within n few feet did they seek the
shelter Of the woods, yet not to fly.
They simply moved aside. Here at
least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was a
brown bear. He turned tail at the sight
of a coaching party. Yet it was quite
a common thing for bears to approach
close 10 the hotels at evening to feed
the refuse thrown out. 1t was an
after dinner relaxation for the guests
to watch them feeding. They munched
and disputed the choicest morseS. for
the most part Indifferent to the COM
pany. Only when we became inquis-
and these animals were perfect
ly free and unfettered in their move
1t may read like Il fairy tale,
but it is solid fact"
