SNAKES ARE STUPID.

The Reptiles May Be Tanned, but They
Cannot Be Trained.
One cannot train or teach snakes to
do anything whatever. Their brain
power is so limited that the marvel Is
how they have ever managed to sur
vive in the great competition. especial
ly when one finds that they are still
on the Ascending curve" of evolution.
Most of them can be tanned to some
extent by constant human companion
ship and judicious handling tsome spe-
cies very much more readily than
others). When they have learned to
trust, to appreciate the fact that there
is no necessity for self defense. then
they may be trusted, principle which
applies to most animals, and there the
scope and possibility of their educa-
ton come to an end.
After that the most that skillful
exhibitor can do with them Is to adapt
himself and his actions to their move
ments. which by familiarity he can
pretty nearly anticipate. so that these
may appear purposive and intelligent

Cocaine.

Travellers in Peru and countries
where coca grows chew the leaves Of
this plant for the purpose of allaying
the sense of hunger and the feeling of
exhaustion that accompanies it. At
first the leaves were thought to.possess
food elements. but now it Is known
that the cocaine they contain merely
allays the irritability of the nerves
that produce the sense of hunger. Co
caine is an alkaloid made from the
coca leaf. which has the effect of com
pletely destroying the sensibility of
nerves. The discovery of this active
principle of the coca leaf explained
fully and satisfactorily the effect pro-
duced by chewing the leaves

SEES new LIGHT
City Engineer Pleased with
Cincinnati System.

City Engineer Charles returned last
night from Cincinnati where ne at
tended the meeting of the Better
Roads association. He also visited the
Cincinnati Electric company and in
vestigated the new lights which are
being installed in that city
They are far superior To the cluster
lamps, giving the same amount of
light with less current, and do not re-
quire as much attention, according to
Mr.. Charles. They are placed on the
top of an iron pole and have but one
lamp. No part of the lamp casts a
shadow counteracting the light from
the other part of the lamp, as is the
case in the cluster lamps, according to
the city engineer. Superintendent
Johnson of the Municipal light plant is
in favor of this style Of lamp.

Clearing House.
SURPLUS NOT FACTOR
Walter E. .Frew Told Com
mittee Big Surplus Does
Not Mean Safe Bank.
SURPLUS NOT FACTOR
National News Association

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Deter.
mined to show the control which the
big clearing house association pos
sesses over the banks of the country,
the money trust investigating commit
tee of the house today turned the in.
quiry in the direction of the New York
Clearing House association. Walter E.
Frew, chairman of the New York
Clearing House committee and presi.
dent of the Corn Exchange bank, was
the first witness.
Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
committee, told the witness at the out
set that the questions to be asked were
not intended to reflect the committee's
opinions, but merely to assist in franz
ing legislation. Mr.. F'rew said his bank
had $3s000,0OO capital and some $780,,
100000 net deposits and that it had
increased it's capitalization three times
in recent years and had established
several other banks. The Corn Elk
change bank, he said, now has twenty
nine branches located in New York
city.
Mr.. Frew admitted that the New
York clearing house rule, which re
ceives banks into membership accord
Ing to the amount Of capital they pos
sess and does not take into account
their surplus which might be fairer if
the surplus were included in the speci-
fcations.
Frew denied that big surplus was
necessary to make a bank safe. He
said the question of considering sur
plus as a factor in determining the adj
INSTABILITY of new members to the
clearing house had not been agitated.
Mr.. Frew admitted that generally
speaking, the clearing house commit
tee has all the powers of arbitration.
He testified that the committee along
with certain other committees controlL
ed had power to suspend members of
the clearing house.
Does not the withdrawal of the
clearing house privileges ordinarily
crush bank?" he asked.
ut depends upon the character of
an controlling it," replied Mr..
Fred admitted that suspension
meant withdrawal of all clearing
house privileges.
'Is there any reason why a bank
should clear through the clearing
house at all?" asked Mr.. Untermeyer
"Yes," answered the witness. 1T IA
cilitates things" Mr.. Frew also said he
could not recall any case where New
York clearing house bank had been
suspended and had survived the shock.
