Real Sea SerpentS.

In New Calenonia sea serpents
are frequently seen and some
times captured. They are curious
creatures, the head being very
small and scarcely distinguish
able from the body, and thu tail
being formed like an oar. In
length they are generally be-
tween three and four feet. In
the jaw there are tiny glands
containing poison, but as the
mouth is very small it is difficult
for them to bite, end the natives
handle them fearlessly. A Euro
pean traveller witnessed an ex.
pertinent at Noumea which shows
that under certain conditions the
sea serpent can do deadly work
A rat was caught in a trap, and
its tongue was grasped by a pair
of pinchers and placed in the
mouth of a sea serpent. The ser.
pent immediately bit it, and the
rat died in four minutes.

1t is quite a respectable legend to
say that the cracker manufacturing
firm of 20. Kendall & Sons" stamp
ed its initials on its product and
thus gave the soldiers of the civil
war a synonym for excellence. But
there are in existence at least two
other perfectly healthy theories.
One is the Sam Houston absorbed
20. K" from a phrase current
among the Indians with whom he
spent that strange interval in his
career; the other, that Andrew
Jackson spelled it "oll korrect'
and then abbreviated. Neither Of
these explanations may be right.
But their chronological effect would
be to place the starting of 20. K. u
at date before the civil war

Sing Sings Star Reporter.

The Star of Hope, Sing Sing
PRISONS bimonthly newspaper,
which chronicles events of i'm.
portance in that little walled city
with its LOO convict population,
has a star reporter. Just what
his name Is even a majority of
the inmates don't know. Nor do
they know what was the vocation
of the writer before he went to
dwell in Sing Sing.
He is known there as Convict
81, 430, and as such be signs the
stories he writes for the Star of
Hope. He has gained quite a
reputation among the prison
readers and is usually chosen by
the editor of the prison newspa.
per to 'cover" the big stories as
they occur in Sing Sing.
One of the last assignments of
Convict 81, 430 was the report the
visit of Mrs. Maud Ballington

PetticOated Detective Loses Purse.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. s.
A story which for genuine humor
is unsurpassed leaked out at po-
lice headquarters this morning.
The goat" is Detective Bass of
the plain clothes service of the
local force. 1t happened as fol-
lows:
When purse snatching was at
its height during the holidays,
Bass asked Chief of Detectives
Nick Bush to allow him to carry
out plan of his own to appre-
bend the elusive thief. PERMITS
sion was given and Bass forth
with CARRIED himself in feminine
attire his dainty 250-pound figure
encased in a debanair hobble
skirt and his jovial countenance
besmirched with cosmetics.
Thus robed he sailed forth
along the principal thorough.
fares of the city, a large alluring
shopping bag conspicuously upon
his arm. Hour after hour he
sauntered along, daintily pick
ing his way through the congest-
ed holiday throngs. Finally, at
street crossing, when his en-
tire attention was engaged in eff
fecting passage in his hobble,
the detective felt a slight pres
sure upon his arm. Gazing
around he was Mortified to find
his shopping bag gone and at the
same time perceived a large
black negro quickly disappear
Ing IN the gathering gloom with
the purse under his arm. As
quick as flash Bass pulled his
pistol and fred six times, but
the negro escaped. So jealously
did he hide the igominity of his
escapade that it was not until
today that it was discovered

Illicit DiStiIIeries Increasing.

State Revenue Agent Booth
says that illicit distillerios are
on the increase, as seen from the
the December reports. Thirteen
during last month were raided in
various counties in the state and
their owners arrested. East
Tennessee seems to be the camp.
ing ground for many of the stills,
The following counties being rep
resented in the past months dis
coverles: Sewer, Monr roe,
Blount, Hardin and Lincoln. La
all cases the distillery was in
operation.
Few people realize what the
cost to the United States govern
ment is for breaking up these
stills, each one costing between
$50 and $75 to be gotten rid of
successfully. Officers fees, ex-
pense accounts, caring for prison
ers after they are arrested, ETC.,
all mount up pretty rapidly when
number of cases are taken into
consideration. That so many
have been found in Tennessee
during December, Mr.. Booth
says, may be accounted for by
the fact that Christmas time In
variably means more general
celebration to the people through
out the country districts particu-
larly.

A Gamblers Ring.

A curious ring seen recently
is one that belongs to a gambler,
one of the most famous card
players in the United States. 1t
is heavy gold band affair and
is exactly five eighths of an inch
wide. Running around the
band in such a way as to COM
pletely circle it is row of five
small signets. Each one of these
is worked in gold in the form of
a shield. These shields are pol
ished on their surface aud bear
no marking Of any sort.
Inside the ring and grooved in
to it's outer circle is another gold
circle. When the ring is put o.
the operators finger by slight
movement 1t is possible to slide
the outside band around on the
inner one. The instant this is
done from under one of the
the small shields Appeals a min.
ute mirror. This mirror is a
scant quarter inch in diameter,
When the operator sits in at q
game of cards he wears the ring
on the little finger of his right
hand.
When he slides the cards of
the pack as he deals this little
mirror comes directly under the
card that is being dealt. Tn
dealer, looking down at his hands
as he deals, sees each card as it
comes off the pack. He knows
each card that he has dealt and
exactly who has the card.
AS the dealer puts the pack
down by a movement either slow
or fast it is a perfectly simple
matter to give the ring a slight
rub, sliding it back into It's
original position The mirror,
eyen when it is exposed, is always
on the inside of the hand and
concealed from every one. After
long practice it is possible to pull
every card off the pack in such =
manner that it will reflect ia the
exact center of the mirror.

Cause of Growth in Postal Business.

The reduction in the rate on
newspapers and periodicals. to
one cent per pound was a potent
cause of the marvellous growth
and development of the postal
business as we now witness In
consequence of such reduction,
the government has been enabled
to improve the service in num-
berless ways, multiply and ex-
tend city deliveries in all towns
and cities, to forward letters
with great despatch to every part
of the land aud to distant colo
MES, to establish free rural de.
livery at an annual cost Of over
$50, 900, 900, and now, in 1910 en-
ables it to report postal deficit
less by several million dollars
than it was the year before the
low rate went into effect thirty
years ago.
1t was on March 3, 1879 that
Congress reduced the rate on
second class matter to one cent
per pound. The rate before tina;
was much higher. Let us observe
the result. Was there an in
crease in postal deficits? Well
here are the figures culled from
the official reports:
Taking the five years immedi
ately preceding the reduction O
