effects of injuries received in rum
away accident two weeks ago. Mr..

All About Snakes.

Whether the audience at Music
hall last week Friday evening had
any more respect for the all pervad-
ing reptile family after Samuel
Allen Williams had concluded his
lecture on "The Truth About
Snakes" is question, but Mr.. Will
liams, who has been on intimate
terms with snakes for the past Is
years, certainly impaired much
information that was new to his
hearers. He likes snakes, and he be-
gan by deploring the lack of litera-
ture about them; he hoped to change
the mental attitude Of his audience
toward the much despised creatures.
and to correct some popular miscon
ceptions concerning them.
Mr.. Williams said he didn't be-
lieve there we're any poisonous
snakes in Vermont, though there
might be q few rattlers-small ones
and not very dangerous The adder,
whose bite is supposed by some to
be fatal, is as harmless as kitten,
and in the whole eastern half of the
United States there are only three
venornous snakes--the rattlesnake,
the water moccasin and the copper
head.
The lecturer showed many pic
lures of snakes from different coun-
tries, talking entertainingly of their
good and bad characteristics; told a
story about grateful rattlesnake
who saved the life of wounded
hunter, showing that snake 10 a
good sort when you approach him
the right way, and then he intro
duced dozen or so live snakes to
the audience, one at time.
There was no rush when Mr.. Will
liams asked some of the boys to come
up on the stage and handle his
slippery pets--they loved children,
he said--but finally Morrill, Mason
volunteered, and he snake-charmed
with great power and fearlessnesr

Fire Alarm Whistle.

A special village meeting will be
held next Monday evening to hear
the report of the committee--C. F.
Chapman, j s Eaton and G. j..
Panl--appointed at the annual meet
ing to look into the matter of a fire
alarm whistle for the village. The
committee has been investigating a
system in successful operation in
several Vermont and New Hamp
shire towns, the apparatus consisting
of an eight-inch chime gong, three
steel air tanks, Westinghouse air
compressor, 5-horse power Wagner
electric motor, and an electric heater,
the latter being for the purpose of
protection against bad weather con-
ditions.
1t is planned to install the appa-
ratus in the new village storehouse.

gong in an elevated tower above. As
the whistle, it is said, can be heard

of sound ought to come up to local
requirements.

Village Buys More Rock Quar-
ryinQ Machinery.

The trustees of the village have
contracted for some new machinery
for quarrying the rock used in local
road building, the ffint-like charac-
ter of the rock having made the job
of getting it out of the ground and
reducing to required size desper-
ate one for season or two. The new
equipment, which will be in place
by May l, includes pony drill, a
steel air compressor tank, ten-horse
power electric motor, tram cars and
track. The tram cars will carry the
rock from the ledge to the crusher,
saving much work by teams, and in
other ways the equipment is expected
to effect economy in time and ex-
pense. 1t is the intention of the
trustees to engage an expert in the
spring to take charge of the drilling
operations and later representative
of the Dupont Powder company will
demonstrate the use of dynamite in
shattering the honoy-combed rock.
