gained is worth much more. Dead
snakes bring from to cents. accord
Ing to their size, aud live ones from

snake skin companies has factories in
Sumatrn. When 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 is then attached by the neck to the
trunk of palm tree. an assistant

THE LAND OF BIG GAME.
British East Africa as Il Appears to
thu Hunter.

A brown village OF thatched huts
squatting In trampled clearing of
the forest and backed by thickset trees
so closely laced with living tapestry
of woven green that the aching troplc
sunlight can scarcely penetrate; slim,
naked blacks slipping like shadows
among the broad leaved bananas and
rubber trees, staring furtively as your
bearers file slowly past them: lone
ly station far up or down river, where
haggard white man sits to receive
tribute In the name Of his trading
company, marks an outpost of civlliza-
tlon In this jungle land. And through
and under 1t all are the fevered glare
of sunlight. the ceaseless drowsy whls-
per of the woods, the hot, dry scents
of the parched earth. or. II the rains
have come, all the land about will lie
cloakcd in stcamlng vapor, the sultry
air as thick and humid as the air of a
greenhouse mt home. There you have
the Kongo as the white man knows Il
the KoDgo or the jungle of Uganda.
But all of this is only part OF what
We nave tnOo'n w 'bli W
as the dark continent.
For there, too, is the desert, widely
different in all lis aspects from Kongo-
land. On the slope of the rising ground
that lifts from sea level at Mombasa
and climbs TO nearly 5000 feet before
1t drops again to the lesser level of
Victoria Nyanza is another vast waste
as typical of Africa as this jungle
Countrywide desert. as II Is called, the
plains of bush and grass. six months
OF the year--from October to April
It lies half drowned under tropic rains.
From April TO September only occa-
sional showers fall. and the wide pla-
teau grills under the staring sunlight,
all yellowing in the glare. Here upon
these uplands is found the great vari.
city of big game. the vast herds of
wild things that have made and still
make Africa the greatest shooting
country in the world. This is British
East Africa as the hunter knows IT.

They Are Built to Resist the Shock Of
an Earthquake.

Ihey are BuiIt to Resist the shock OF
an Earthquake.
A remarkable fact 10 Japan is that
pegodas built hundreds of years ago
embody the principle Of the modern
seismograpb. which is to minimize the
effect OF earthquake motion by the
combination Of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum, or. In
other words. by the union of stable
and an unstable structure to produce a
neutral stability. which renders the
whole building least sensible to earth
quake shock.
In the hollow well OF every FIVE sto-
ried pagoda a heavy mass of timber is
suspended freely. like an exaggerated
tongue. from the top right to the
ground, but not IN contact with it. and
at the shock of an earthquake this
large pendulum slowly swings and the
structure sways and then settles back
safely upon its base.
This is also the principle followed In
the construction of all bell towers
throughout japan. where the bell acts
as pendulum. and the roof, supported
by posts. forms an inverted pendulum.
as IN the seismograph.
When an earthquake occurs a pagoda
or bell tower may be rotated or dis.
placed. but II cannot be overturned as
q whole. Wide World Magazine.

PROMPT JUSTICE.
The Magistrate Was Firm and Tried
to Be Genial.

70 be aenfbt
In the History Of Beverly" Mass.
the following anecdote is related of n
good justice of the peace in the old CO.
lonial times. On cold night In winter
a traveller called at his house for lodg-
ing. The ready hospitality of the jus.
tice was about being displayed when
the traveller unluckily uttered word
which his host considered profane.
Upon this he Informed his guest that
he was n magistrate. pointed out the
nature OF the offense and explained the
necessity of its being explated by sit
ting an hour In the stocks.
Remonstrance was unavalling, for
custom at that time allowed the mag
istrate to convict and punish at once,
and In this case he acted as accuser,
witness. jury, Judge and sheriff, all In
one.
Cold as Il was, our worthy justice,
aided by bis son. conducted the travel
or to the place of punishment. an open
place near the meeting house where
the stocks were placed. Here the trav.
eler was confined in the usual manner
