Mr. RattIesnake,s Habits.

The r%attlesnake thrives best in a re-
gion where deep recesses and cavities
in the rocks afford refuge from its I'M
placable enemies, man, deer, road rum
ner and peccary. Would it be sacrilege
TO suggest that Ireland's shortage of
snakes may be due as well to ner
~'longness'' of hogs ~ to the begulle-
ments of Saint Patrick? On many west
ern ranches pigs are kept for the COM
mon protection Of both biped and
ouadruped for the knifelike hoof is as
effective for tearing and cleaving flesh
as an inquisitional weapon, and at the
sound of it's approach Mr.. Rattlesnake
| discreetly withdraws to q deep cleft in
a hillside, or to the subterranean pas
sages of the prairie dog or gopher. AS
to warfare, ~rattlesnakes are / k the
Mexicans and ourselves-they prefer
not to fight until the situation becomes
'i%ntolerable." The best known specieS
in the southwest is the red rattlesnake
(crotalus atrox). These are most dan
gerous during July and August when
shedding the skin. Being both blind
and deaf at this time they sound no
warning, and are more liable to be
stepped upon than at other seasons

In Canton, about eighty miles from
Hongkong, there is a place known as
the City of the Dead. There are 1914
small houses, in each of which a corpse
is lodged at the rate of $25 for the
first three months, and then at a re-
duced rate until the geomancers en-
ployed by the relatives of the dead
person decide when and where the
corpse shall be buried. silk or paper
lanterns and imitation fruit are hung
from the roof. There are screens In
each room between the door and the
coffin. Tea, fruit and any other kind
Of food which the dead person liked
when on earth are placed on an altar
before the coffin each morning. There
nre cardboard servants standing about
to walt on him with pipes or cardboard
cups of tea. There are uiso two hand
some paper females placed there to
guide his spirit on the way to heaven.

Water Hole Is Dry by Day.

A curious form Of water-hole is
found in the deserts of western Aus
tralia, dry by day but yielding an
abundant supply Of water by night.
The flow of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds Of rushing
air. On examining one it was found
that the water supply occurred in a
long, narrow trench, at the bottom Of
which was a thin plate of gnelss "a
species of rock arranged in iayers),
separated by a cavity from the main
rock mass beneath. Apparently the
heat Of the day causes this plate to
expand in the form of a depression,
in which the water retreats. When 1t
cools and contracts at night 1t forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.
