sections of the country. the plains of Southern Arizona are not actually swarming with venemous reptiles. in. sects and beasts. Occasionally there is a report of some workman in a rail read construction camp being bitten ty rattlesnake. or a tarantula, while sleeping on the ground, and occasion ally the sinuous centipede will invade a cottage on the outskirts of the city.
 lt ia rarely that the tourist or city dweller gets a sight of rattlesnake fin it's native haunts: the tarantula is a really shy spider and stays out of doors The bite of the centlpede, while it may be painful, is not fatal. Household remedies bring relief
 At present Tucker is exploring for the mythical rattlesnake caves wllch are said to t..ist fin mountains C. the west of the city and to be inhabited by many of the reptiles As for taran- tulas. the only way that they can profitab'y be hunted is by following the tarantula hawk, a sort of wasp. The tarantu'a hawk Is said to live all most entirely, or entirely. on taran- tula meat It follows therefore. that if one cares to devote day to it, that, by following a hawk. he is apt to To- cate his tarantula. The hawk is said to even follow the tarantula into his hole.
 Tucker also has several orders for skunks and expects to do a profitable business in this line as soon as he arranges for their transportation. The postofflce has refused to accept live animals for transportation by parcels post and the express company is equally firm. The animals are wanted by skunk farmers who breed them for their fur. The skunks are denatured on the skunk farms and are said to be- come almost companionable
 The hydrophobia skunk does not ap. pear to be common in this locality. There are none in captivity. at least, and no hunters have come home with stories of them.

WAR SCARE NEWS COMES FROM PHOENIX
 .-JAPAN THREATENS
Mining Man Declares That
 Huerta Is Anxious for In- tervention. Many laps Are
 Colonizing in the Republic
Especial to The Review.)

PHOENIX. March 9.-No one is more anxious to have the United States intervene in Mexico than is Huerta, declared Frederick Webb, a mining man who has just arrixed in Phoenix after trip along the inter- national border.
 Webb obtained his theory from a number of influential Americans he net in Nogales, Naco and other bor- der towns. It is a belief that is quite general along the border, he says.
 There is little doubt that Huerta has sent millions of dollars abroad" |" Webb stated. He would like to go abroad himself and live on that money. But if he should leave now he would be subject to extradhion.
 What Huerta wants is for the United States to intervene and for American troops to escort him to some port and put him on a ship bound for Europe. Then he will be a political refugee and no power can get Linn back to Mexico"
 Webb also holds the theory that President Wilson will be ready to in- teryont in Mexico as soon as the Pan ams canal Is completed
 There are a great many Japanese colonists in Mexico" he explained. In vase the United States should intervene Japan might side with the Mcxicans. for should Mexico fall into the hands of the United States Japan. csc emigration to that country would he stopped. II is quite conceivable that should his country intervene down south, Japan would land her troops on the west coast of California and Mexico
 With the Panama canal completed 1t will be an easy matter to send ships from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pa. cihc coast. But war with Japan at this time would be disastrous to the United States, at least for a time"

 According to Lowe, he, in company w.t. a friend and a man with whom he was unacquainted, decided to visit the Mexican town opposite Douglas. According to Lowe his friend took a camera along.
 After wandering around Agua Prieta for some time and seeing little of un- toward interest the pursued their way to the barracks of the Constitu- tionalist troops The barracks were closed. however, but noises could be heard on the inside of the wall, and the curiosity of the Americans was aroused.
 The three of them mounted the wall and watched with interes. the soldiers Of the Mexican army on the inside Their presence was discov- cred soon afterward by one of the Mexican officers who ordered them down in the language of the neighbor. ing country. Neither of the three tourists understood Spanish but the tone of the command left the mean ing well understood. When they had dismounted from the wall another officer met them and placed them un- der arrest. They were taken to the guard house and locked up.
 There they stayed. according 10 Lowe, for about three hours, when they were released and ordered across the international Boundary. Lowe could assign no reason for the arrest other than that the MeXicans did not approve of American curiosity.

MEANING OF FLAGS
Only Recently Ships Have Adopted
 International Code

From time immemorial flags have been flown by ships at sea over the world. but it is only in more recent years that an international code has been adopted, says Tit-Bits All the countries of the world now conform to fixed rules about the flying of certain flags, though, of course. each navy has it's own secret code for use in war times
 The national flag of any ship, when hoisted upside down, denotes that the ship in question is in difficulties and re- quires immediate assistance. which any passing ship is required to give, if pos- sible.
 The quarantine flag is a plain yellow square hoisted in the foremast, which indicates that the ship has got an in- fectious disease on board. that 1t has come from an infected port No person is allowed either to go on board or to leave such ship until permission is grant, cd by the sanitary authorities of the port.
 In all parts of the world a white flag is accepted as a token ot peace. a rel flag as that of defiance. and a black fla. flying from the masthead of skip or barge at anchor indicates that there is a wreck in the vicinity. The same is de- noted lk a green buoy paced over tho spot.
 When a red flag is flying on the fore mast 1t Is a sign that the ship has pow der, shell or ammunition on board, and serves as a warning to other ships not to come too near in case of accidents It is called the danger. or, more commonly. the powder flag.
 The pilot flag consists of a Union Jack with white border. one-ifth the total width of the flag. When aoisted Ion the foremast 1t is sign that a pilot is re- auired for navigating the ship in dan gerous waters.
 A white-and-red flag, equally divided horizontally, with the white on top. is carried in any part of the ship where 1t can he most easily seen to signify that the ship is under the command of qualified pilot and not of the usual cap- tain.
 A blue flag, with a wide white border. hosted in the mast of vessel in port. signifies that the vessel is about to sail and is used to warn anybody on shore who intends to go on board that starting 1 time is near. It is called among sailors 1 the "Blue Peter

Indian, one of the kind Pope wrote about. with an untutored mind, and he really didn't care rap about the title of Emperor and the gold crown and coronation robe which went with it and were the gifts of King James of England, playfully known as the wisest fool in Christendom.
 Powhatan was the chiefs name, and he had rather more power before the English hung the title of Emperor on him than afterward. You may have forgotten this man Powhatan, he was Pocahontas' papa, and quite the most influential Indian in Virginia when Captain John Smith and his worth less cc1onists made their first appear ance in the Old Dominion and founded the settlement of Jamestown. And it was Powhatan. of course, who or dered his braves to beat Captain Smith to a whisper after he had staked him out with a large flat stone under his head.

It migh be only another of the ruses of that Smith man, the Emperor believed. Later the governor of the colony Sir Thomas Dale, asked the privilege of marrying Powhatan's second daughter.
