Multimillionaire Road Supervisors.
March 26

San Diego county, Cal, boasts the
only multimilliOnaire board of road
supervisors IN the United States, ac-
cordlng to Director Logan w. Page Of
the public roads division Of the de-
pnrtment of agriculture, who says:
"San Diego county has lot of
wealthy residents. Most Of them own
automobiles, and there was a lot OF
kicking about the rough roads. Among
the kickers were Al G. Spading, who
made his millions manufacturing base
balls; Claus Spreckels, Jr., whose ia
ther accumulated a bank roll that
would choke n railway tunnel, and t.
NJ. Scripps, who owns newspapers all
over the central west. The road com.
missioners grew tired of the growlS
and appointed a board Of roadway su.
pervisors composed of the three gen.
tlemen l have mentioned. The NAL
contents agreed to serve without pay.
Today they are spending $1,250,000 in
the county. 1t doesn't make any diff

ey they donate 1t. Mr.. Spalding built

Well Placed Generosity.

In 1880 List went on Il tour in the
French provinces. He arrived at the
little town of l.. to give a concert, as
announced. But the inhabitants ap-
peared to take but little interest i'll
musical matters, for when the must
clan appeared on the platform he
found himself face to face with an au-
dience numbering exactly seven per-
sons. List stepped very calmly to the
front, and, bowling respectfully to the
array of empty benches, he delivered
himself as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, | feel eX-
tremely tlattered by your presence
here this evening, but this room is not
at all suitable; the air is literally sti-
fling. Will you be good enough to ac-
company me to my hotel, where | will
have the piano conveyed? We shall be
quite comfortable there, and | will go
through the whole of my program"
The offer was unanimously accepted,
and List treated his guests not only
to a splendid concert, but an excellent
supper into the bargain. Next day
when the illustrious virtuOso appeared
to give his second concert the hall was
not large enough to contain the crowd
which claimed admittance.

wander with impunity through val

importation arrived on the steamship
Alameda from California that might

serenity. This was the arrival of three
fiimsy boxes containing fourteen large
living snakes, five of them rattlers.
Under rule such animals arriving in
the territory of Hawaii are ordered to

''In the destruction of these snakes"
says the narrator. Eve had a surpris-
Ing experience. ! placed the boxes in
one of our fumigating chambers and
applied a charge of double density of
hydrocyanic acid gas. The snakes
were still alive at the end of fifteen
minutes, whereas if they had been
warm blooded animals they would
have succumbed in less number of
seconds. They were again shut up,
and a quadruple charge of the same
deadly gas was administered. At the
end of one hour and Il half the fumi-
gator was opened, and several of the
snakes still showed signs of life. We
