instant his companion came within a
few inches of laying his hand on the
wriggling form of another reptile, one
of the very largest rattlesnakes over
seen in this section. He killed the
serpent. The men were afraid to pro-
coed farther and called to their fell
low Workmen
When the rock had been heaved
away from the main strata it dis
closed a succession of assures and
these seemed to he alive with snakes,
rattlers, blacksnakes and copperheads,
some Of them dropping out of the
crevices and wriggling down toward
the men and others crawling back
into the shelter of the rocks. There
was a sickening stencil evident as the
men neared the snake den. Some of
the serpents were stiff and inactive,
due to the fact that t1ey were cold.
This was particularly 4true of the
blacksnakes and a half dozen Of these
were easily dispatched. But the rat
tiers were beyond the inertia of hi
bernation and were as mad as so
many hornets.
The men attacked the reptiles right
and left. They discovered, too, that
the blast itself had slaughtered some
of the colony, for pieces of snakes
were found spattered over the rocks
and stones. An hour after the battle
with the snakes had ceased Schur-
man went to a big box near the quar-
ry fire to get his dinner kettle, which
he had wrapped in his coat and set it
On the ground not far from the fire.
When he stopped to pick up the kettle
he felt sharp sting in his hand at
the base of his little finger, as though
he had jagged himself with a sharp
splinter. But a glance showed him
that a big rattlesnake had taken ref
uge under his coat and had bitten him
when he disturbed it. Fortunately
Schurman knew how to treat the bite
and lost no time in applying remedies.
He quit work, but has recovered.

either of the men been thrown from
the plank he would have fallen to the
bottom of an air shaft II stories be-
low.
The men who battled under such
hazardous conditions were Herman
Jockey and Robert Swickert, who had
been employed as roofers by the man
agement of the hotel. The day Swick-
ert went to work he and Jockey had
some trouble and they renewed the
controversy the next morning. None
Of the other workmen knew what the
trouble was about and nobody paid
much attention to either of the men
till Yockey was seen to grapple with
Swickert on the scaffold.
Swickert, shorter and heavier than
his antagonist, was taken by surprise
and before he or the other workmen
realized the seriousness of the situa-
ton he had been pushed by Jockey
out upon a plank which ran from the
apex of the solarium roof to another
section of scaffolding
There the men struck at each 9TH
er's faces, while Jockey tried to re-
gain a grip around Swickert's body,
from which the latter had freed him
self at the beginning of the fight.
Each of the combatants was young
and muscular They were pretty
evenly matched and in the excitement
and uncertainty of the fight did not
seem to realize that false step for
either of them probably meant death
to one or both. J. G.. Mains, a fore
man in charge of the work on the
roof, seeing the men fighting, shouted
to them to stop at once.
Neither of them paid any attention
to Mains. He and another workman,
seeing that the scaffolding to which
one end of the plank was attached
was shaking from the force Of the
combat, placed ladders against the
framework and climbed upon it. They
shouted to Jockey and Swickert to
get off the plank and the two fighters
finally saw the peril of their position
and retreated to the roof of the sola-
rum.
There they were seized and cuffed
by other workmen who had witnessed
the fight on the plank and who want,
ed to punish the fighters for their
foolhardiness. Both of the men were
discharged. Mains threatened at first
to have both of them arrested, but
Jockey and Swickert said neither
would make complaint in court
against the other. They would not
tell the cause of the quarrel during
which they had risked their lives.

Altoona, Pa.-Of all the blasts ever
fired in Pennsylvania it is safe to say
that never before did charge of dy-
Mantle unearth the sttsrtling surprise
given the quarrymen In the stone
quarry back of Bluestone, in the Pine
creek region, few days ago.
Instead of ordinary building stone,
as the men expected to find when
they went back to see how the big
blast had acted, they found score
or more of snakes-rattlers copper
heads and blacksnakes-an the
pesky things were crawling and wrig-
Cling everywhere. And the ones in
sight were not all, for before the day
was over the men had killed 40 SER
penis and they counted dozen more
that got beyond their reach in the
crevices of the quarry.
John Schurman, one of the quarry
men, was bitten on the arm by a rat
tlesnake and another quarryman by
the name of Davis had the awful ex-
Perience of having big RATHER drop
his shoulders and then fall wriggling
to the ground at his feet. An Italian,
who was a member Of the gang Of
workmen, was so badly scared by the
experience with the snakes that he
Is Ill and fears are entertained that
he may lose his mind.
The vicinity of the quarry and that
entire part Of the Pine Creek valley
is known to be the haunt Of all kinds
of snakes.
The amount of dirt and stone loos-
ened by the blast seemed to be almost
the entire side of the mountain Two
of the men went crawling up the side
of the loose fall" and had gained
within 40 feet of the top when one of
them suddenly fell back and yelled,

Protection From Lightning.

In the course of a lecture before
the members of the Engineering soci-
ETY., of Birmingham, England, Sir Oil
yer Lodge made the statement that
it was by no means true that a build
ing is protected from lightning when
it was provided with conductor
reaching to the tallest part of the
structure. In fact, he said that i'm
munity from the flash was assured
only when the building was complete
" covered in a metal cage. He said
the problem was to dissipate the
great energy of the flash, but it was
not wise to dispose Of 1t too quickly.
AS far as known at present, a thin
iron wire offers the best protection,
but it is not infallible.

other winsome things of young

braid hats are perennial favorites, not
more or less, but always more popu-

who delights In these really beautiful
shapes, must bethink her of some new
touch in trimming, some new turn to

summer girl may not tire Of these
hats and run after new goods whose
virtues are untried in the realm Of
millinery.
Ever since the Oldest modiste can
remember, June has seen the heads
of fair wearers crowned with these
staple shapes, trimmed with roses
and ribbon. This year the new touch
is found in velvet facings and In vel
vet-covered crowns. New ideas are
shown also In silk or tulle roses and
In the way in which brims are turned
or shaped.
One factor in the success OF their
hats, beside their beauty, is their
durability. One does not buy leg

Pumps for Street Wear.

The new pumps for street wear are
made with ankle straps, which are
an improvement over the pumps used
last year, for they were scarcely
practical for outdoor wear.
To be quite correct the stockings
worn with pumps of this description
should be plain and fine. of course.
This rule applies to the street only.
For house wear any of the dainty
styles in embroidered hose may be
douned as suits the taste Of the
wearer.

vet crown added to last years leghorn
changes its appearance completely.
If the shape is considerably worn,
both may be used; for perfectly new
patterns, like that shown in the pic
ture, are made up in this way.
It is the charm of flowers, the new
beautifully colored roses, which Is so
enchanting and finally makes the last
years hat "as good as new" and per-
haps better. Il velvet-coyered
crown seems a little dark or heavy, a
sash of light ribbon or perhaps of
tulle are added.
Many kinds of flowers are used for

take in selecting the rose garland.
| Wreaths made of roses, gardenas, for
get-me-nots and other flowers, with
an occasional wisp of grass intro

handsomest patterns.
Big bouquets of roses and lilies of
the valley have been favored, and on
black hair-braid small, exquisitely
made corn flowers or deep blue forget

usR HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered new use for billy
goats and every day at half a
hundred stock feeding stations
on the line of the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part of Judas,
luring unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
If the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made a ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be- kept aboard railroad trains for
more than % consecutive hours, but
that, at the expiration Of that period,
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and proVender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation of a band Of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
The confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has a flock of goats,
each Individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which it is trained than half
dozen men could do in twice the
time.
When the 28-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
1t necessary to build big feeding yards
at numerous points along its line-in
TACT, these yards were installed about
every rs miles from end to end of the
big system. During the shipping sea-
son that railroad brings hundreds of
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges of Wyoming, Colorado. Utah,
Idaho, Oregon. Montana, California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law it was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded, fed and watered.
and then reloaded every % hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember how
dlfieult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. AS timid as a sheep" is

was even necessary that each indi-
sidual sheep be actually lifted up and
TAKEN from the car.
And sometimes this 28-hour limit

sheen were all lying asleep on the
moor OF the car. At such times it was
almost impossible t unload except by

Inc railroad found it necessary to
MAINTAIN large force of men at
