SNAKE STORIES.
African Tribes Use Flesh For Food
Esteemed Great Delicacy.

There was a time when first class
remedies for serious maladies did not
include some portion of a snake
powdered. Snake broth itself was
sovereign for many ills The snake with
eternity, and, as. by casting it's skin, it
'renews it's youth" IT has since the
DAYS of Aesculapius been the chosen
emblem of the medical fraternity;
while Mercury's caduceus. with it's
wreathed snakes, typical of peace, has
been used as the badge of commerce.
In this same field, however. the snake
possesses an even mightier, signif-
canoe, for the dollar mark 60 is but
the serpent entwined about the Pillars
of Hercules, as it may be seen minted
on the Spanish peso today.
Many African tribes count snake
flesh among the delicacies, and John
Ward says that with the Australian
esteemed luxury" Many kinds of
birds eat snakes. Pigs are particu-
larly fond of them, as also are some
deer: but in the old days it was under
stood that deer only ate snakes in
Summer, for which reason their veni-
son was at that time poisonous,
sagacious fiction which it was doubt
less we'll to make widely known in
times when there was abundant temp
tation to Devastating and reguia-
tons concerning close seasons would
have been treated with Indifferent re-
spect.
Through the prescription seems to
have disappeared from the pharmaco-
poeia of modern beauty specialists,
it was for centuries notorious that to
feed on snake meat was the way to win
perpetual youth: I'd cure goiter, again,
or any other swelling, all that was
necessary was to MUNICH a viper, from
the tail up, as it might be a stick of
celery; while yet another snake, if eat
en-, conferred the power of understand
ing all the tongues of birds.

An aluminium bench mark tablet was
established about three years ago by the
United States geological survey in the
northwest corner of the foundation of the
State House and on account of the extern
sive alterations now going on about the
State House it has become necessary to
remove this tablet and place it in another
location. This tablet is a reference mark
or datum for the precise line of levels in
this vicinity. Its elevation is 155.215 feet
above sea level A fine of $50 is imposed
by the United States government for in
any way disturbing this mark Therefore
permission for the removal of the pres
ent tablet was obtained Saturday by wire
from the director of the United States
geological survey at Washington, ID. c.
United States District Engineer Cyrus
G., Babb now in charge of the State Wa
ter Storage Commission office, will 1mme-
diately place new bench mark upon. a
new elevation. which, after being obtain
ed. will be sent to Washington This ele-
walton can also be obtained by any in
terested parties by application to the Of
fee of the State Water Storage Commits
sion, which IS HOW loCdlcu oll lic oCIoliu
floor of the Blaine mansion in Augusta.
Two styles of bench marks are comMon-
ly used by the United States geological
survey. The one at the State House is a
circular mark about four inches in diane
ter of aluminium and set in rock base.
The other style of bench mark, used when
a rock foundation is not obtainable, is OF
the same size, but is placed upon an iron
post. three inches in diameter and four
feet long. These bench marks are dis
tributed at different places in the State
over which topographic surveys have
been made by the United States geo.
logical survey.
A bench mark is the technical name of
a reference point for Il line of level and
gives the exact elevation above mean sea
level as determined by precise lines of
levels These bench marks are of the
greatest value to civil engineers in va
rious lines of investigation and work. 1t
is expected that a list containing the ele-
vations of all the permanent bench marks
in the State will shortly be compiled and
placed on file at the office of the State
Water Storage Commission at Augusta
The tablets are generally stamped to the
nearest foot of elevation only, the exact
elevation to the nearest thOusandth of a
foot can always be obtained. however, by
correspondence.

at Boston by The immigration auth6rl-
ties last Thursday because she has one
leg. was not bound for the home OF
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy to fill the posi-

statement issued Sunday night by AL
fred Farlow. head of the committee OF
publication of the First Church OF
Christ Scientist. Mr.. Farlow said thai
Mrs, Ettinger was a friend of one OF
Mrs. Eddy's employed, a fact which

she was there to be Mrs. Eddy's cook.
