CONCERTS REPETITION
ANOTHER BIG SUCCESS
Hundred Turned Away From City
Auditorium Last Night--Veterans
Cheer Dixie Songs.
DIRECTOR MERCER PLEASED
Also Warmly Congratulated BY Critics
Encore After Encore Given In Re-
Spouse to yociferous Applause OF
Audience.

The repetition of the reunion concert
last night at the City Auditorium was
even more successful IL such were pos
sibie. than the con<ert Wednesday
night. All the music was repeated.
and the crowd was fully as large and
as enthusiastic. Many veterans, for
whom a special position had been re-
served. were present and were i'm
mensely pleased Hundreds of peo-
pie were turned away.
Director Walter c. Mercer stated
after the concert that ne thought
the program was rendered Just little
better than on the first occasion, that
he was highly pleased with the work
of the company, and that there was
very manifest appreciation OF the
numbersr by both audiences.
Professor Mercer Congratulated.
Director Mercer himself received
the warm congratulations OF his
friends for his able handling OF the
concerts. He is well known as the
director of many large chorus con-
certs In Richmond, having trained the
children's chorus that was such a
feature of the early Wednesday Club
concerts, the children'G chorus in the
Human Flag and having for many
years taught singing in the city
schools.
The program last night was the same
az at the first concert--many OF the
popular songs. fair amount of Sc
iect pieces, and orchestra and solo
chorus parts thrown in. The orches-
ira was several times encored. the solo
choir likewise, and the full chorus did
not require encoring. as Il sang about
everything anybody asked for.
The orchestra was composed OF pro-
fessionsl players, assisted by many of
players from the Richmond Phiihar-
monte Orchestra.
Two Big Features.
A feature of the concert and one that
brought the lions share OF applause
was Jerusalem fI-m Gounod's Cal
iia." In this selection the soprano solo
and chorus gave the audience a must
cal treat. feature. too, was the ex-
ira number on the program, the sptr-
tied rendition OF Dixie" by the chorus
as the vast audience filed out the
doors, the sentiment being unanimous
that the second of two great concerts
was delight to the ear and tribute
to the musical talent OF Richmond.

LARGE SOUTH AFRICA SNAKES
In Swaziland, According to Traveller,
the Reptiles Grow to Really
Amazing Size.

The largest, snakes in the world, so
far as l know, are to be found In
South Africa, though l am told that
there are species of python in South
America that equals in size the rock
snake in the low country of Swazl-
land, writes Temple Manning. Near
johannesburg two or three years ago
a hunter had just come in with four
snakes which he had captured alive,
and he and his kafir servants were
engaged in measuring them. The
longest measured few inches less
than 20 feet and was "a inches In
circumference. and the smallest was
II feet in length and IL inches In
circumference
In order to get photographs we tie0
the heads Of the snakes to pegs set
in the ground and then, stretching the
tails back as far as we were able, ha6
the kafir hold them-a job that they
were loath to undertake. as they have
no liking for the reptiles, though they
hunt them fearlessly.
The snakes are not poisonous. and
do not bite. OF course, with their ire
mendous powers of construction they
could squeeze a man to death In
minute or two, but they never attack
a man and only fight in self-defense.
The hunter got IA gallons Of oil from
his catch, worth about fifteen pounds,
nearly seventy-five dollars in our
money.

empty shells of snake eggs-probably
the king snake or blacksnake-and as
he reached to pick one of them up for
closer examination he caught sight of
a pygmy RATHER coiled partly under
some pieces of the rotting core Of the
log and jerked his hand away just
in time, for the little snake struck
viciously, narrowly missing it.
We broke open all the hollow logs
which we found, and in doing so found
several very fine specimens Of the
king snake (Ophibolus getulus). Usu-
ally when we found one we would find
another one very close by. These
snakes, while of rather quarrelsome
disposition among themselves or with
other snakes. are remarkably gentle
with man. Not one of the several we
caught made any attempt to bite, nor
showed any nervousness. When
handled they would usually coil tightly
around the arm. probably to prevent
falling, and then would start slowly

snakes are powerful constructors, feed

ears-elaborate structures admirably
adapted to receive and transmit sound
waves. But the external openings OF
these organs are most surprisingly To-
Gated. In crickets and fong-horu
grasshoppers there are two curved
Sits in the tibia or shin of the fore
leg, one on each side. just below the
knee" These are the openings OF
the ears! Each slit gives access TO
a tympanum, or drum" which Is con-
nected with air spaces and nerve end
ings. In the case of the short-horn
grasshoppers, the ears occupy an
equally unexpected position. viz. al
the base of the abdomen. The open
ing on either side may be found be-
meath the wings, just above the ~
tachment of the great hind-leg.
It will be we'll, in conclusion. to en-
phasize the fact that the noises made
by insects are strictly instrumental
No insect has a "voice"-that Is. the
power Of producing sounds by the ex'
pulsion of air from the lungs through
the throat and mouth. Indeed. insects
have no lungs, nor do they use their
mouths for breathing. On the con-
trary, they take in atmospheric air
through a number Of small openings
along the sides of the body. These
openings are called "spiracles." They
give access to an elaborate system OF
minute pipes, or "tracheae." which
ramify among the insects living It's
sues and convey to them the oxygen
necessary for the discharge OF the va
rious vital processes. Just within each
spiracle there is an ingenious little
valve which is opened and closed by
muscular contraction. The circulation
OF air, to and fro through the spir-
acles, is kept up by a constant palpi'
tating movement OF the whole aodo'
men. This may be seen. for example.

The nearest approach to a true

nism within the spiracles. II we shut

It may be unable to agitate its wings.
The mechanism is too complicated to
describe here; but it may be roughly
likened to a wind instrument, such as
