Fishes That Are Lost.

1t is pretty well established that the
common mackerel. for example. lays
some $4,000 eggs and that out of the
number not more than two come to the
reproduction stage. Presumably the
loss is equally great in the eggs of 9TH
er fishes. The greater part of this loss
occurs. OF course. while the young are
too small TO look out for themselves.
BY Matching the eggs artificiaIly ard
maintaining the young until they can
shift for themselves 1t is claimed that
IN place Of one in $4,000 one In a dozen
may live to maturity.

THE RATTLEsNAKE.
Removing It's Poison Fangs Does Not
Render 1t Harmless.

Render 1t Harmless.
| a common misconception which is
! apt to lead to serious accidents Is the
belief that RATHER is rendered per-
fectly harmless, so that it can be ham
died with IMMUNITY, by the removal Of
its poison fangs. These fangs, two in
humber. are situated on the upper jaw
and lie fat except when the serpent
strikes, when they become erect and
the closing of the jaws congresses the
poison glands and injects the venom
through minute openings in them. In
! striking its prey (for whatever charm
the serpent may employ to get it's VIC
tim within easy reach it relies upon
the venom to give the coup de grace
these fangs may often be broken. and
nature has provided full supply of re-
serve weapons which lie dormant in
the gums and which within two weeks
will develop and replace the injured
| fang.
An acquaintance who returned from
hunting trip with twenty-five full
grown rattlers in box kept them in
| his Office for two months confined be-
| hind a coarse meshed wire screen.
He handled them most carelessly, as
he had extracted the poison fangs, but
when shown that each Of them had de-
veloped perfect pair Of new ones
there was a sudden rise in the local
snake mortality. One was preserved
and sent to the Bronx zoo, where it
short time afterward produced a
large litter of young ones. which could
have easily crawled through the screen
behind which the mother had been
kept AS each of them possessed the
poison apparatus in full commission
and was without the power to rattle,
they would have been even more dan
gerous than adult snakes.
Professional snake handlers are Of
ten ignorant Of this power to quickly
replace fangs possessed by rattlers,
and this ignorance led to a serious ac-
cident to one of them. He was badly
bitten and narrowly escaped death, his
recovery being attributed to the gener-
GUS amount Of whisky which was i'm
mediately administered to him, which
illustrates another mistaken idea 1t is
a pity to shatter pleasant illusion,
but alcohol, except in very small doses,
is harmful rather than beneficial as an
antidote to snake bite poison
As a matter of fact, although the
symptoms of rattlesnake poisoning are
most painful and alarming, an adult
rarely dies from the bite Of the variety
common in the north. The diamond
backs Of the south attain a much lar
ger size and consequently inject more
venom. AMI their bite Is proportionate-
ly more dangerously Francis Metcalfe

RESPONSIBILITY.
u Develops, the Power and Ability
That Is In a Man.


That Is In Man.
Responsibility is great power de-
veloper. Where there is responsibility
there is growth. People who are never
thrust into responsible positions never
develop their real strength. This is
very strong men and women among
those who have spent their lives in
subordinate positions. in the service
Of others. They go through life COM
paratiye weaklings because their pow
ers have never been tested or devel-
oped by having great responsibility
thrust upon them. This thinking has
been done. for them. They have simply
carried out somebody else's pro-
gramme. They have never learned to
stand alone. to think for themselves,
to act Independently. Because they
have never been obliged to plan for
themselves they have never developed
the best thing in them-their power Of
originality. inventiveness, initiative. in
dependence, self reliance. their possible
grit and stamina The power to Gre
ate, to make combinations, to meet
emergencies, the power which comes
from continuous marshaling of ones
forces to meet difficult situations. to
adjust means to ends. that stamina or
power which makes one equal to the
great crisis In the life of nation, is
only developed by years of practical
training under great responsibility.
There is nothing more misleading
than the philosophy that If there is
anything in youth it will come out.
It may come out and it may not. It
depends largely upon circumstances.
upon the presence or absence of an
ambition arousing. grit awakening
environment. The greatest ability is
not always accompanied by the great
est confidence or the greatest ambi-
ton.
There is at this moment enough pow
er latent in the clerks or ordinary en-
ployees in almost any of our business
houses to manage them as well or bet
ter than they are managed today il

force.
But how can clerks who remain be-
hind counters measuring cloth, selling
shoes or hosiery, year in and year out,
ever know what latent power for or
ganization or executive ability, what
initiative they possess? 1t is true that
some of the more ambitious and cour-
ageous get out and start for them
selves, but it does not follow that they
are always ADLER than those who re-
main behind. Sometimes the greatest
ability is accompanied by great mod
esty and even timidity. Then, again.
employees conscious of great ability
are often deferred from taking the risk
of launching out for themselves be-
cause Of possible disaster to those de-
pending upon them for daily bread.
But thrust great responsibility upon a
man. drive him to desperation. and the
demand will bring out what there is in
him. 1t will call out his initiative, his
ingenuity. his resourcefulness, his self
reliance. his power to adjust means
to ends. II there are any elements Of
leadership in him, responsibility will
call them out. 1t will test his power
to do things.-Success.
