SHINING Live Snakes.
From Popular Mechanics.

rom lopuiar NPtnanIcS-
Very few of the people who are the
proud possessors of belts pocketbooks,
card cases and numerous other articles
OF snakeskin realize the agony that the
demand of civilization for fads has meant
to the original owners of the material
from which these articles are made.
II Is difficult TO skin dead snake, and
the skin is often spoiled in the course OF
the operation while. on the other hand,
1t is a simple matter to skin live snake,
and the skin thus gained is worth much
more. Dead snakes bring from 70 j
cents. according to their size, and live
ones from IS cents to ST.
One Of the largest snakeskin compa-
MES has factories In Sumatra. When a
snake Is received from a hunter it is
seized adroitly by an operator. one hand
squeezing the neck and the other holding
the tail. 1t 10 then attached by the neck
to the trunk Of a palm tree, an assistant
holding II by the tail. With the point OF
a knife the operator cuts the skin just
below the head and, pulling with all his
strength. peels 1t from the writhing rep
tile i'm the same way that a woman peeIs
a pair of gloves from her hand While
this is taking place the assistant holds
the body as rigid as possible.

years after Henry Johnson became the
owner. The square north. between 7th.
sth, r and Boundary streets. Of five lots.
in 1898 was divided. the United States
taking two lots and Mr.. Blodget the
others. The latter were conveyed to
Stoddert ct al. in 1901 and to Mr. Beck
ley in 1907. The United States lots were
bought by II. Johnson in 1912. and he
bought the remainder of the square five
Square 800, between Sth. 9th, T and
Boundary streets, of ten lots. in 1898 was
apportioned. Mr.. Blodget getting title to
four, Robert Peter and the United States
each to seven. Those of Blodget went to
Stoddert ct al. and afterward to Beckley.

9th street front with row Of dwellings,

which he conveyed to Col. Bomford. In

EARLY LANDOWNERS.

That part of the city lying north Of
S street, between 7th and 18th streets,
when the land was being laid out for
the Capital city, was included in the
tracts Of Robert Peter and Samuel Blod-
get. Though skirted by 7th street, which
was virtually part of the road to Mont
gomery county, and traversed by the old
road from Georgetown to Bladensburg. it
showed no sign Of improvement until the
forties, and then very slowly. North Of
the head of 18th street a small stream
flowed in a southwestery direction to
Keedy branch. which came in at Sth
street, and along the banks was some
swamp land. Early in the last century
some land was in cultivation. but much
of it was covered with a dense scrub
growth and it was regarded as a part
of the "slashes." Though unappreciated
from a real estate standpoint. 1t was a
favorite hunting ground for sportsmen,
small game being found in abundance.
1t was also a paradise for boys who
sought adventure in the labyrinthian
growth
This section was cut by Sth, 9th, 10th,
T. L, V and w streets and Vermont
avenue into twenty squares, Nos. 3O2 to
3Os, $40 TO 334, 3J7 to 3G2. 800, 1914, 416
and All, ana ABOUT liz building lots plat
ted. 1t was long before individual lots
were disposed of and for that matter even
the lines of the squares were not recog-
nized, for when the ground was suitable
for working in crops the owner. if he
fenced in the street. was not moested.
When i'm 1902 the lots We're listed by the
corporation for taxation half a cent a
foot was the figure set, but shortly after
a sixth or eighth of cent was the
rate for most of it. On 7th street the
original rate was 3 cents, but this was
reduced to one-eighth OF cent. BY 1890
one-fourth of cent was the uniform
figure, and at that time the only improve
ment was a tenant house in square 357,
between w. 10th and Boundary streets,
listed to Thomas Peters for 81 90.
In the square between S, 7, 7th and 9Th
streets, No. Al, twelve lots were plated
and in 1895 assigned to Mr.. Blodget. In
1901 these went to Benjamin Stoddert ct
al, six years after to f; S. Beckley. Forty

Chinese Pheasants Freeze to Death


A. c. Travis, who has ranch near Irv-
Ing, says seven Chinese pheasants, four
ROSTERS and three hens, have taken up
their abode with his chickens about the
barn and are getting as good treatment
as his domestic fowls He says he scat
tered seven bushels of wheat about the
place for them and the quails to live on
He also reported counting 1872 of the
pheasants lying in the snow in coming
from his place to town. The pheasants,
especially the ROSTERS, had hard time
of it during the cold and snow. Their
long tails accumulated snow. which melt
ed with the warmth of their bodies and
then froze into chunks of ice and became
SO heavy that with their steering ap-
paratus out Of commission they simply
lay in the snow and froZe or starved to
death.

offics.s' are the same then It is not
easy to understand how they could
stand mot less than thirty feet away"
from the ntrance Of the polling places
and also act as clerks.
But the law passed by the Legisla-
ture on June I. 1898. puts a clearer
view on the situation. Section 13 Of
that law reads:
Each Of the said judges. after being
duly qualified. shall choose one clerk OF
the election to whom the inspector or
other officer authorized by law to hold
the election, or one of the judges, shall
administer an oath or affirmation"
The concluding section Of the act reads:
"All acts or parts OF acts supplied by this
act or inconsistent with the provisions
thereof are here by repealed and made null
and void
According 10 the Democratic point OF
view the act Of May %. 1897. gives the
Democratic and Republican committees
the authority TO name clerks Of the cleo
tom but the Republicans contend that
the act Of June /, 1898, repeals that pro-
vision Of the pvior act and gives the judges
the right to name their clerks.
It now remains to be seen whether the
Democrats will so ahead with their
scheme to threw out the returns Of the
Fourth district of the Second ward and
steal the City Treasurership. and seat
