Real Sea Serpent5.

In New Caledonia sea serpents are
frequently seen and sometimes cap
tured. They are curious creatures, the
head being very small and scarcely dis
tingushable from the body and the
tail being formed like an oar In
length they are generally between
three and four feet In the jaw there
are tiny glands containing poison. but
as the mouth is very small it is diff
cult for them to bite, and the natives
handle them fearlessly. NJ. Kermogant,
a European traveller, witnessed an ex-
pertinent at Noumea which shows un-
der certain conditions the sea serpent
can do deadly work. A. rat was caught
in trap, and its tongue was grasped
by pair of pinchers and placed in the
mouth of a sea serpent. The serpent
immediately bit it, and the rat died In
four minutes.

Needless Wear of Roads by Autos.

A county surveyor protests against
the habit which many motorists have
Of doing the majority of their driving
on the crown or center of the road
This method of driving means that
one portion Of the road takes all the
wear and naturally. of course. gets
worn into ruts and ridges. If the
traffic would spread itself and make
all that portion of the road from gut
ter to the top of the crown take a
share of the wear. road surfaces would
last much longer and would require
less frequent repair. In these days
when roads are made almost fiat there
is no excuse for this habit OF clinging
10 the crown. but where roads are
made with great deal of Gambler 1t
is perhaps excusable. as driving on a
continuous slope Is the reverse OF
pleasant.

OLD ENGLISH COOKERY.
A Lively Feast With Much Delight and
Pleasure.

A study of Robert Nays Accom-
plisht Cook" published in 1863. will
serve to dispc the dclusion fostered
by many foreign critics that English
cookery lacks variety One Of Mays
recipes is for the construction of Il
ship of confectionery, with guns
charged with actual powder. and Il
castle of pies, containing live frogs
and birds. After giving directions as
TO the firing Of the guns he proceeds:
This DONE to sweeten the stink of
the powder let the ladies take the egg
shells full of sweet waters and throw
them at each other All danger being
seemingly over. by this time you may
suppose they will desire to see what is
in the pyes; when. lifting first the lid
off one pye, out skip some frogs, which
makes the ladies to skip and shrek;
next after the other pye, whence come
out the birds. who, by a natural instinct.
flying in the light will put out the
candles; so that, what with the flying
birds and skipping frogs, the one
above, the other beneath, will cause
much delight and pleasure to the whole
company London Chronicle.

A ROAD IN PANAMA.
Features Of a Highway Built by the
United States Government.

Road building down on the isthmus
of Panama does of necessity get its
share of attention. too. but by the
Americans, however, for when they
find that the business Of the zone can
best be facilitated by the making of
good roads the work is then com
menced. But it must be remembered
that there are no roads at all, so when
they build they build good ones
There has recently been thrown open
n new road i'm the zone which extends
from the boulevard Fourth de Julio to
the La BOca road. 1t comes through
Ancon, canal zone and is Il sort of
boundary line between the zone and
Panama, Panama being on the right.
while Ancou is on the left. Before this
road was opened up road traffic be-
tween Ancon. canal zone, and La Boca
had to travel route about one and
one-half miles longer than the present
route. thus causing the consumption
of much time in the zones business
traffic. The present route is what
might be called short cut"
The road was ballasted with crushed
stone on its completion and has since
been rcbalastcd. so as to stand the
long rainy season. This was done by
first going over it with moro crushed
stone followed by water sprinllling
wagon, after which Il road roller went
over it. The roller may be seen in the
distance. The road is now in n sub
Stantial condition.
The republic of Panama has no
roads, and yet this is the one thing
that will give impetus to the business
of her people. 1t is only matter of
time when there will be roads
through the zone extending from the
city of Panama to that of Colon. BY
having these the business of the canal
zone can be expedited.
Some one may ask, What does the
one span bridge amount to? We'll. it
means much down on the isthmus
