The letter to Mr.. Kendelsbergel
came from Mr.. Doyle at Washington

GERMANS BUY HEATHER.

Whenever opportunity has offered,
Germany has been importing vast
quantities of heather from Scandi-
navia, and our people, who heard of
this from Danish agents, were at
first a good deal puzzled, says Lon
don Answers. Now the mystery is
explained. The heather is laid in
thick layers in front of their trench
es, and when a cloud of poison gas
begins to drift across is at once fired.
The heat of the fierce blaze naturally
creates an upward current, and the
gas is thus carried up and dissipated
harmlessly.

HERE'S CHAMPION FISH STORY
Angler Encounters Giant RattIesnsIsc
Swimming In River and Hooks
Reptile After Battle.

Howard Wells Of Dunmar, W.
Va, and two companions, who were
angling for bass in Capon river day
or two ago, were given the fright Of
their lives when a large rattlesnake
was discovered swimming across the
stream and rafting its tail in a man
ner that left no doubt of its readiness
for battle, says a Winchester (Va.)
dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Each Of the three men was wading
and struggling to land four and FIVE
pound bass which they had hooked,
and instead Of going in the opposite
direction the snake swan right up
to Mr.. Wells, whose companions had
retreated.
Wells kept one eye on the snake
and the other on the line, at which
the fish was Juggling gamely, and
when the RATHER came within strik-
ing distance he dealt it a back-break-
ing blow with a small steel rod. A
fish hook caught the snake in the
mouth and Mr.. Wells pulled in fish
and snake at the same time. The
bass weighed a little over five
pounds. The snake was four and one
half feet long, its body was as large
as a mans forearm, and its tail con-
tanned nine rattles and a button.
River men never saw a rattler swim
in the river, they said.
