Snakes Greed Costs Life.

Owensville, Ind, Sept. 8. Al
va Montgomery, a farmer living
south of town, reports how a
chicken snakes greed got the
reptile into an awful predica-
ment and which FASTENED it's un-
timely death. The snake, a
monstrous critter, was rambling
along searching for something
to swallow. 1t came upon two
hen eggs near a picket fence and
promptly downed them in great
glee. The snake looked about
for more of the same when it
spied a nest full of hen fruit on
the other side of the fence. The
eggs were so near the fence that
it was only necessary for the
snake to crawl half way through
to reach them and which it pro-
ceeded to do.
After swallowing two eggs the
snake decided that four whole
eggs in it's stomach was plenty
for one meal. When it attempt
ed to leave the feast it found
that the space between the pick
cts was too small for it to go for
ward or backward. The first
two eggs the snake swallowed
made it impossible for the snake
to go forward and the other two
eggs prevented it from crawling
backward there it was a pris-
oner-and all because of it's sell
fish greed. The snake was in
that condition when Mr.. Mont
gomery accidently discovered it.
He killed it with club then and
there.

not wait to heap roses on his

creature of his industry and en-
terprise and those along the
route are benefited immeasur-

coal development pool, which, if
successful, means much to that
section of Crittenden county.

Feathers Filled the Air.

A battle took place a few days
ago when a new blue topknot
heron was put in the pelican
cage in the Central Park menag-
erie. The air was filled with
feathers of all kinds, and the
fight only ended when the blue
heron had driven all the pelicans,
white storks. ducks and pigeons
into a far corner of the cage,
and stood with one leg lifted,
the victor.
1t must have been the first
time the inhabitants of the peli-
can cage had ever seen a heron,
for they all gathered at the door
when Keeper Hurton let the
newcomer into the cage. Mrs.
Heron at once pounced upon a
young pelican. The other three
pelicans came to the rescue, be-
ing joined by all the other birds
in the inclosure.
Drawing her head back, the
heron aimed at one of the NAL
lard ducks in the water tank and
drove her bill into the side of the
duck. From then on for five
minutes the old inhabitants
fought with the heron only to be
driven into a far corner of the
cage.
After Mrs. Heron had intro
duced herself, as Hurton ex-
planned it, she amused herself
killing sparrows which flew into
the cage to gather corn the 9TH

Down Where It's Hot.

The deepest hole in the world
up to date is the boring begun
10 years ago at Czuchow, Silesia,
with the object of attaining a
depth of 2, 500 meters, and which
has now reached a depth of g.
240 meters (7,349 feet.) The
bore is A. centimeters in diam
eter at the top, and diminishes
progressively to five centimeters.
Measurements of temperature
have been made regularly. At
1920 meters the temperature is
1874 degrees c. (182 degrees F.)
This gives a geothermis degree

ing to a rise of temperature of l

Chesterfield Court House, Va,
Sept. g. Henry Clay Beattie,

guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and sentenced to be electro

The jurors minds were made
up, it was learned later, when
they left the court room. The
twelve Virginia farmers knelt in
prayer the first thing when lock-
ed in the room. Then one by
one voted unanimously for con-
viction.
For an hour, lacking two min
utes, they then considered the
evidence and the consequences,
prayed again for divine guild
ance, and returned to the court
room.
With one voice the whole We
nire shouted guilty" The
prisoner, who had been directed
by Judge Watson to stand, sank
into his seat and covered his face
with the sporting section of a
newspaper which he had been
reading.
The jurors neglected to fix the
degree of guilt. Since the Vir-
ginia law provides that unless
otherwise specified, it shall be
second degree, Judge Watson
sent the jurors back to decide on
the degree. They soon returned
having agreed on the first de-
gree.
