SNAKE WAS NOT DEAD.
Policeman's Shot, However, Put End
to Its Existence,

A black snake measuring five feet one
inch IN length is being exhibited by
Policeman w. H. Buckingham of the
tenth precinct as one of his trophies The
reptile was killed b. him the other morn

but it surely is a rare find as late as
December "a
Saturday night Edward Hanson of
Brightwood Park was driving across the
tracks Of the Brightwood railway line at
Georgia avenue and Brightwood avenue.
His wagon was loaded with turkeys. A
car struck the vehicle and eighteen Of the
fowls escaped. They fmmed Iately flew
into the woods nearby. The police Of the
tenth precinct were told of the escape of
the turkeys. and Sunday morning a num-
Der of policemen. among them Policeman
buckingham, started a search for the
fowls.
While the policeman was searching the
underbrush for the turkeys he suddenly
came upon the snake. 1t appeared to be
deal. When touched with a stick, how
ever, the reptile stuck out its tongue at
the policeman. The latter thereupon shot
ii through the head. The snake lived
until Sunday night, when it died in the
yard of the policeman's home.

ANACOSTIA RIVER CHANNEL.
n'edge Has Removed Two Million
Cubic Yards of Material.

THE big dredge Pittsburgh, belonging to
RE Atlantic. Gulf and Pacific Dredging
Company. which has been working on the
Anacostia river improvements for the
Inst three months. is now on the wlnd-up
~ her present contract and the work will
be concluded within the next day or two.
since starting work on the Anacostia I'M
provements the Pittsburgh has dug and
pumped ashore on the portion or the
flats to be reclaimed about 2WooUo cubic
Yards OF material and has made chan
mel twenty-five feet deep from the river
channel to the navy yard.
The work on the Anacostia river is not
completed and another contract for the
removal of several hundred thousand ad-
ditional wards of the material Will be
awarded in the coming month. The big
dredge will remain here until the con-
tract for this work is placed and II the
company owning her gets the contract
she will be employed on the work.
The dredge Dewey, which was employ
ed on the Alexandria work, which was
completed Friday last, was brought TO
this city yesterday afternoon and was
taken to point above the Highway
bridge. She Is to pump the material,
which is being dug a. the site OF the new
bureau of engraving and printing and
dumped on the Virginia side of the
Georgetown channel. behind the stone
dyke wall on the southern side of the
channel This work, it is said. will keep
the Dewey employed here until in the
coming spring
The material dredged from the river Off
Alexandria was pumped into the cove at
Battery Rogers and large tract OF
land has been reclaimed
This land the United States govern
1nent is making claim to. but the claim is
disputed by the owners Of the abutting
property. and it is more than probable
that the city of Alexandria and the state
nf Virginia will also dispute the right of
the government to the land. The ques-
ZION will probably be fought out in the
courts. but as yet no legal action has
1,een taken by either side in the con-
froversy The entire question will hinge
on the location of the 1ow-water mark
of the river il being claimed that Fir-
..iaui:1 territory extends to the low-water
mark made by the ILL., and not the old
shore line as it was before the dredging
,,r,er-3 lions were started.

OIL FUEL ENGINES.
Motive Power Growing in Favor
With Transatlantic Lines

Oil fuel engines for ocean-going steam
ships are steadily growing in favor with
the big transatlantic transportation lines,
and this type OF engine Is being installed
In number OF big passenger and freight
steamers building at European shipyards.
Two vessels Of 5000 tons each have
been launched this month-one at Copen-
hagen and the other on the Clyde-whose
propelling machinery will consist of
3. 000-horsepower Diesel Oil engines each,
while in German shipyards there are
building two vessels for the Hamburg
American line of 1900 and 5000 TONS re-
spectively. which are to be equipped with
oil engines and at West HartlepooI, Eng
land a similar vessel of $500 tons Is be-
ing constructed. 1t Is the opinion OF ex-
perts that the internal combustion en-
CINE will soon become a serious COM
petitor to steam propulsion.
