GREED CAUSED SNAKES DEATH.

A snake in search of food at East
st. Kilda, near Melbourne, Aus.
traGa, writes our correspondent,
came upon a chickens egg. The
snake sucked in the egg, which pass
ed towards the region of his tail in
the form of an oval swelling. The
snake then raised its head and, per-
ceiving a knot-hole in the wooden
henroost wall, inserted its head and
the fore part of its body and swal-
lowed a second egg.
On the approach of the owner OF
the henroost the snake tried to re
tire, but the second egg would not
pass through the knot-hole, and
when he tried to advance the egg in
his tail equally impeded his progress,
Thus "egg-bound" at both ends, the
reptile fell a'victim to its own greed.

KILLED BY ENGLISH SPARROW.

One of the most peculiar deaths
ever chronicled occurred recently in
Huron, West Virginia. A prosper
Gus farmer, who owned and operated
a farm of III acres near that place,
was the victim and two fighting Eng
fish sparrows were the unusual cause
of his death. The man was sitting,
asleep, in large old-fashioned hick-
DRY rocking chair on the front porch
of his house with his head tilted
back. Suddenly the sparraws, which
had been fighting in midair, swoop-
ed violently across the porch and
either beak or talon of one caught
in the flesh of the sleeping mans
neck, tearing a large, jagged wound
and cutting the jugular vein. BY
the time the unfortunate mans wife
came to the porch from the kitchen
her husband lay unconscious on the
floor. Efforts to check the flow OF
blood were futile.

The Grade Crossing Problem.

The Fiscal Court of Bourbon
county has accepted a proposition
from the Louisville & Nashville
railroad providing for the abolition
of two dangerous grade crossings
Mt stations between Paris and Win
chester.
Cooperation of this kind is to be
commended. In this instance the
railroad company proposes to make
the improvements at its own ex
pense, the court merely giving its
consent to necessary changes in the
grade of the highways at the inter
sections. Doubtless there are
many such crossings which might
be eliminated ut no enormous ex-
pense and where the railroad COM
panies would consent readily to as
suming all or at least the greater
burden of the outlay involved. A
general gettiny-together of fiscal
courts and railroad officials in coun-
ties where the grade crossing is a
serious problem might be product
live of beneficial results.
The railroads are compelled to
defend themselves in innumerabla
damage suits as consequence of
accidents at grade crossings and
are put to continuous expense in
the maintenance of their tracks at
such places. In many instances,
no doubt, it would be an economy
on the part of the railroad comDa-
ny to expend whatever amount is
required to abolish the menance
for all time to come. In other
cases the Fiscal Court might prop
erly appropriate some part of the
cost of elimination. This policy
is pursued in cities where move
ments for the abolition of these
hazardous crossings are under way.
but the expense attached to such
changes is of course, much greater
in cities than it is in the country.
The grade crossing, wherever it
may be, is a factor for harm and
in every community where a prob
lem of the kind exists there should
be put forth intelligent efforts for
its solution. Courier journal.

EASY TO EXAMINE THE LUNGS
Physicians Now Enabled to Perform
Rare Operations With the New
Bronchoscope.

An instrument known as the bron
choscope has been introduced at the
MedicoC Chirurgical hospital Philadel
phia, to aid in the examination of the
lungs and to remove foreign sub
stances therefrom
The bronchoscope is U-shaped One
Of the legs is hollow and is surmount
ed by small mirror and an electric
light To remove a foreign body from
the lungs, the hollow leg is inserted
in the mouth and permitted to pass
down the throat until it reaches the
vocal chords. With the aid of the
mirror and light on the outer end an
examination of the lungs is then made
and the foreign substance located.
This done, small steel tweezer is
passed through the hollow tube and
the offending particle removed.
DR.. r. S. Skillern and his five as
sistants in the nose and throat de-
partment of the institution are skilled
in the manipulation of the broncho-
scope, and have been performing some
rare operations. Such things as col
lar buttons, screws, safety pins, chick
en- bones, nails, and dried peas have
been removed.
The instrument affords specialists
an opportunity of looking into the
lungs of tuberculosis patients.

much better off at home and in bed.
Now if you will stay at home and go

ts the price of ticket to the lecture. %
