Valuable "PIowing Strips" Mile

Hcity Beautiful Plan" Being Taken Up
In German capitaI-Emperor lie
Deeply interested in New
Project.

Berltn.-The garden city," or 'city
beautiful plan," which is causing such
wonderful transformation in the sub
urbs of London and other English cit
les, is being taken up in Germany, and
Berlin is to be extended in all direc-
tons on scale of beauty and in a
way that will give American travellers
new ideas on the subject of municipal
adornment The emperor is deeply
interested in the project, it is an
nounced.
Berlin has grown up in a peculiar
way. The whole metropolis has been
built up solidly to its limits to height
OF i've and six stories, and then it
stops suddenly, and open farming coun-
try begins Immediately beyond. This
open land is divided, In old time Ger
man style, into what are known as
blowing strips" These are often only
80 or so feet wide by frequently
mile In length. The holder of these
strips, IN many cases the original peas
ant owners, or their descendants, are
usually very stubborn, and will not
consent to their holdings being cut
into streets and reapportioned. This
has seriously hindered the growth of
Berlin beyond its original boundaries.
Some of the strips are valued at
million marks. This has been the
greatest problem in the way and has
required unusual skill in laying out
suburbs.

Some of the Reptiles Certainly Roost-
ed Above Ground, According TO
PennsylvanIans.

| Willfamsport, Pa.-Since State
Economic zoologist Surface, by doubt
Ing the statement Of Columbia
county man, started the query, Can
a rattlesnake climb tree?" the
snake annals of central and northern
Pennsylvania, the recognized RATHER
country, have been appealed to to
settle the question, by the citation Of
actual experiences. Charles H. Ell
linger of this city, prominent sports
man and fisherman, recalls an incl
dent where he found a rattlesnake on
tree; but the tree being in such
close proximity to some projecting
rocks, he concluded at the time that
the serpent had first been on top OF
the rocks before taking its unusual
position on the tree.
w. T. Miller and son, Verus, and ].
@. Simcox, all of Jersey Shore, went
on a fishing trip up Pine creek to
Tomb's Run. Hating near the streams
edge at a tree to which they intended
to tie their horse, they were suddenly
given warning by two boys who stood
in the road that they should Took out,
because there was snake up In that
tree The tree was beech, smooth
of bark and hard, and of pretty good
dimensions. The men thought the
boys had seen blacksnake among
the branches of the beech; but a
glance into the trees branches, at
point about twenty feet from the
ground, disclosed the notified form of
a rattlesnake-not a large one, but as
yellow and as silky as II he had just
slipped his coat that very morning.
Mr.. Miller, who is an old hunter, could
hardly believe his senses until he had
climbed into an adjoining tree and
with q pole pushed the snake down
upon the ground, where it was dis
patched by his son and Mr.. Simcox.
It was a RATHER and no mistake, for
once on the ground it made itself
heard with very spiteful rafting.
Occupants of cabin on Pine creek
found a monster rattlesnake on sill
of a second story window, to which a
bough of an adjoining tree extended.

Now They sleep Indoors.

George H. Beattie, jeWeler In the
old Arcade, and L. e. Ralston, auditor
Of the News, have jointly and several,
ly decided that sleeping out in the
open isn't all that it has been declared
to be, says the Cleveland Leader.
They were both in deep snooze out
at the Beattie farm, near Chagrin
Falls, the other night, when a run
away team from the county fair city
turned into the lane leading up to the
Beattie estate and came along at full
speed.
Sound asleep, but dreaming of i'm
pending danger. Ralston rolled out of
his cot toward the north, and Beattie
from his cot toward the south. The
runaway horses dashed between the
sleepers, overseeing everything in the
way, but missing Beattie and Ralston
by margins too narrow to be meas
ured. Since that night Ralston has
slept in his town house and Beattie
has found shelter under the ample
roof Of his house on his big planta-
ton.

MINING DOES NOT
APPEAL TO FARMERS
Nebraska Experiences Tn
usually Severe Winter
Season.

John Dern arrived home sunday from
n ten days visit in Nebraska. where he
had been attending TO various business
interests having made it point TO re-
turn in time to attend the annual meet
ing OF the stockholders of the Lower
Mammoth Mining company held in this
city Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Dern states that he found condi-
tions in Nebraska In very satisfactory
shape, though the winter has been an
unusually cold and severe one. The
early SHOWS fell before the farmers had
had time to harvest all OF their crops,
but. nevertheless, all are very well salts
fed and are looking forward TO another
very profitable season in 1910, The pro-
ducers are getting high prices for their
products. OF which they have had a
plenty, so that they are all prosperous
and happy.
1t Is almost impossible, Mr.. Dern
states, to interest the people in the
farming districts in mining propositions
as what money they may have for
speculation and investment is all going
into real estate and land. from which
they feel confident OF getting big and
sure returns.
