Industrial Life of England Is
Almost Paralyzed.

London, March 1.-THE pangs OF
hunger as a result of the coal strike
today are affecting many thousands
dependent directly or indirectly on the
mines for sustenance.
The strike has affected in a direct
way counting only the miners and the
other men thrown out OF work with
their families more than four mil
lion persons.
1t has paralyzed practically the
whole life of the nation. Prices of
food have gone up, fuel is virtually
unobtainable, railroads have curta1ied
their service, shipping has been held
UP and every branch OF industry stop
ped to some extent.
The striking coal miners number a
million and there are more than a
million men out of employment pc
cause the factories and mills can not
be run without fuel. Tn Examines OF
these men have to rely on their saw
ings or on the small out OF work pay
provided by the trades unions. There
are however. many men not connect
ed with the coal trade who do not be-
long to any trade union from which
to draw benefits and these with their
families are among the greatest suf-
ferers.

mars, than any other geological gar
den in the world. There are now $50
snakes gathered under one roof. There
is enough poison in the glass fronted
Enclosures, if properly applied, Mr..
Ditmars said, to kill thousands.
Recent arrivals at the reptile house
include two Madagascar big-nose
snakes, three Egyptian vipers, and
some members of the rattlesnake fam
lily. The most deadly perhaps are the
cobras. Their bite is sure DEATH bring
ing first paralysis of the muscles and
suffocation. So deadly is this family
of snakes that both Mr.. Ditmars and
Charley Snyder, the keeper, have suf-
fered local attacks of the poison in as
siSting the snakes to shed their skins.
There are in the reptile house the
black and the specialized cobra from
India, the latter named because be-
hind the head is a mark not unlike a
pair of spectacles, which plainly show
when the hood is expanded; their cou-
sins, the king cobra from Malay; the
Sumatra cobra, and the black mamba
from Africa.
THE bite of cobra brings death
in from eight to twenty minutes said
Mr.. Ditmars. Unlike the others of
the snake family which strike and
jump away, the cobra bites and holds
on, striking again and again with his
fangs. Some idea of their deadly
work can be gathered from India,
where they kill each year from 1000
Statistics just gathered show that
22,478 deaths occurred in India from
snake bites last year. The deaths
caused by them in the province of
Burma amounted to 1878. Only 80
were killed by wild animals. The num-
Der of cattle killed in India in 1910
amounted to 93,074 by wild beasts and
10000 by snakes. Of the deaths of
cattle in Burma 1851 were by wild
animals and 6,5S8 by snakes. Rewards
amounting to $47,725 were paid by
the government for the destruction in
India of 91,104 snakes.
The men at the zoo have little diff
ficulty in handling the cobras. but
even in opening their cages they are
ever on the alert. Mr.. Ditmars has
made the discovery that the cobra is
deathly afraid of either broom or a
shovel, and these are used to subdue
them.

bearer came from Martinique. 1t is

7. R. OFF The JURY.
The Court Excuses the Colonel From
Further Duty.

Mineola, March 14-Theodore Roosevelt s
jury duty is over. Supreme Court Justice
Putnam told him today he could be ex-
cused. Counsel had confided in the court
that Mr.. Roosevelt's presence in the box
might distract his fellow Jurors minds
from any case and for that reason they
would challenge him.
The colonel appeared at court as usual
today and when a court officer touched
him on the shoulder he stepped to the
bar.
Il understand" said the court, "that
there is little likelihood of your services
being required, Colonel Roosevelt, and on
account of your other engagements 1 will
gladly consider any request you wish to
make"
Your honor" said the colonel, ''as I
have been here two weeks shall make
a request to be excused if that is
proper request
The court granted the request and shook
hands with the colonel, who then depart
ed for oyster Bay to remain all day.

of the problems which Colonel Roosevelt
set forth in his Columbus speech The

planned"
Teddy Uses Eleven Rooms.
The Taft forces, it was said today, have
been celebrating for some time the plan
of establishing headquarters in this city.
The activity of the Roosevelt committee
which has eleven rooms in the MetrOpoli-
tan tower, has alarmed the Taft people,
it was said and prominent organization
men advised the president to let his
friends get into the field and do a little
campaigning.
Most of the important presidential can
didates now have headquarters in this
city. The list includes Judge Harmon,
Governor Wilson, Colonel Roosevelt,
President Taft and Oscar w. Underwood.
